Food is great the only problem there is that guy doing security don’t even respect costumer in the dining area very rude and nasty
Steaks, combinations, and soups are awesome!!! Service is fantastic. Nachos are also a great deal. Beef is better than chicken.
We stopped here for breakfast. They have a menu with plenty of options. The food was really good. The service was also very good. It’s big so I’d imagine you can always get a seat. It’s clean and a good atmosphere. It’s in a good location as it’s close to 287 and is on the main road near a few hotels and offices.
Great meals and great stuff they change my meal in seconds! Mexican-Guatemalan food only. There's is bar that gets very busy every night...
I wouldn't recommend this place. Food was decent. Nothing extraordinary but the service was absolutely terrible. ALL of the waiters just about ignored us & when I finally had to walk up to the counter to ask for the bill the person looked absolutely put out by the request. I don't expect hyper friendly service & can understand if things are busy it might take a bit but the place was practically dead with at least 3 waiters standing around at all times. Absolutely not worth going here.
Came in and sat down with waitor coming to give us the menu. As the waitress wrote down our order it seemed like she wasnt paying attention. I spoke as clearly as possible what i wanted. She wrote it down and continued ask the others. Now I am currently sitting at the restaurant waiting for my order that was made wrong. Brought the fried plantains out but it isn't as sweet. it tastes like a blend fried plantain without the sweetness. Service is alright but make sure you repeat your order to the waitress , Atmosphere is fine and food is alright for the price.
This is an OK dining experience. I’ll call it authentic because it was full of Mexican people - both eating and serving here. But, be forewarned: Spanish language skills are a MUST here. The food was good, and the World Cup was showing. But, my order was wrong and my gracious friend’s meal got cold while waiting for my right one to come. We asked for extra salsa, it never came. We asked for salad dressing, it never came. And, while the Horchata was only $2, it tasted a little thin to me.
