I had a taco salad with beef, and it was pretty good; the shell / bowl was nice and crispy. Their salsa is watery but still spicy. The chips tasted stale/chewy, but the queso was really good and made the chips palatable. The standard frozen margarita was not good. I had asked for several limes, but even after squeezing them into my drink, I still couldn't taste anything. I should have sent it back, but I wasn't sure how long it would be before we saw our waitress again. My second drink (with my meal) was their frozen mango margarita. It was quite a bit better... it had flavor. We waited almost an hour to place our food order, but it arrived nice and hot. Thank goodness for the free chips while we waited! In all fairness, they were really busy, but they had plenty of staff for a Friday night. Unfortunately, several of the staff members were just standing around talking and causing all of the work to be done by a couple of nice young ladies who seemed overwhelmed. The atmosphere was just ok... the chairs are hard, and the authenticity is lacking. I doubt I return in the future ... as long as there are other Mexican food choices around town. IMO, La Luna has way better food and drinks. Heck, I'll give Taco Bell 5 stars over this place. Too bad you can't get margaritas there!!! Lol Vegetarian options: We didn't eat anything from the vegetarian section, but it seemed like they had a good number of choices. Parking: They have parking all the way around the restaurant. Kid-friendliness: They have a kid's section on the menu. Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs getting in, and plenty of room between the tables for wheelchairs to maneuver.

Went out to eat with my family, sadly to say it was not the best time. The whole time we were here not one refill on my drink. The food also did not taste all the way done.

First and last time eating there. Waitress was friendly and helpful. Chairs and booths need to be upholstered. Ceiling was just foam? Music was nice. Food was terrible. My tamale was the worst I ever tasted. Corn meal was pure mush. They replaced it with a taco. My husband took a bite and agreed it was disgusting. We both got sick. My husband puked three times. I was nauseated for hours. Never going there again. Parking: Plenty of parking. That should have told us something!

Were from out of town and decided to try something new and near the hotel. I felt rushed to order our drinks then rushed again to order our lunch. It wasn't busy at all, it was probably 1:30pm. My boyfriend's food and mine were brought out before my daughters. Had to sit and wait for hers to get there. Finally showed up and our food was basically cold. Salsa was extremely hot as well as the rellanos. I had to pick it apart to eat it. Was then pestered like being hurried to leave again. Finally deciding to just leave, waited an unusual time for our waitress to come back and bring us our check. At least the restaurant was clean and the decor was nice. Thats all I have nice to say about the place. Bad experience and won't be back.
