A Disappointing Visit to a Once-Great Restaurant My family has been loyal patrons of this restaurant for over four decades, and until our recent visit, it had consistently been a delightful place to dine. Unfortunately, our most recent experience left us disheartened. The service was the most distressing aspect of our evening. Our server exhibited extreme unfriendliness and impatience, bordering on outright rudeness. Despite the restaurant being relatively empty, she hurried us from the moment we stepped in. To our surprise, in the middle of our meal, she abruptly demanded payment on the spot. We were never presented with a check—a customary courtesy that allows guests to review charges before settling. Beyond the service, the culinary disappointment was palpable. The beans and rice tasted as though they had been prepared the day before—dry and astonishingly bland. However, amidst this culinary letdown, there was a silver lining: my margarita. It stood out as one of the best I’ve ever had. In light of this experience, I sincerely hope that the restaurant’s owner takes serious measures to restore its former glory. As for me, it will be quite some time before I consider another visit.

I've been going for years and will continue for years to come! Delicious food that I can't find anywhere else. Parking: You can find parking on the street out front or behind the restaurant, there is a parking lot and a rear entrance. Kid-friendliness: High chairs and kid friendly food. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, and there are table / booth options that are spacious enough to accommodate

I really had high hopes for this place. However, the food was very inconsistent between everyone in our party. Some of the green peppers were bad which altered the taste of the meal. The red sauce was not appealing looking and not tasty. Others who had the green chile sauce really enjoyed their meal (it's spicy, watch out). Ordered a draft beer and it was flat. The house margarita was average, I think the owner waited on us. We didn't feel comfortable sharing our concerns with her, so we just paid our bill and did not complain. Maybe they had an off day when we went on a Friday at 5 pm. Plus the restaurant wasn't busy, considering it was a Friday.
