on Citysearch Nov 24, 2006Not only did we wait over an hour and fifteen minutes to be seated, but the staff was totally rude, with the exception of our waiter. The food was mediocre at best, not enough spice or flavor. On top of that there was some... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 13, 2005I love this place. I do not care for the chicken because it is cubed and not shredded! The guacamole and chips are really really good. Salsa is a little hot for me but i am a wimp!... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 24, 2005The service at this establishment is appalling. The wait is long; the service indifferent; and the manager is downright rude. The food was, at best, edible. I would not recommend this restaurant if my life depended... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 21, 2005After waiting for 5 to 10 minutes to be seated, 5 more to order, the food came. A large portion of mediocre flautas came, too much to eat. Asked for a container to take leftovers and a small salsa condiment to go with it.... (more)
