Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently point to the chicken quesadilla and chicken nachos as standouts, with several praising the tacos and steak burritos as well, alongside food described repeatedly as clean and friendly service. The recurring gripe is the cheese sauce or queso, described across multiple visits as thinned out with milk, soggy, and bland, though one diner noted the food and service had "much improved" on a return trip. A few isolated complaints surface too: one visit found the restaurant dirty with tough steak and soupy tortillas, another reviewer describes a young staffer on his phone with loud music, and a third mentions a soupy tortilla situation with a burrito that didn't hold up. One reviewer also mentions a toilet that rocks and makes a loud noise when used. Despite these hiccups, several reviewers mention returning again, citing reasonable prices and drinks that were kept full throughout the meal.

“Food is actually pretty good, service is better!!! The drinks are nice as well!!! Good place to stop and eat lunch or supper!!! Chicken nachos are my favorite, I just suggest they make their goat cheese just a little thicker and not so thinned out and diluted with milk... It makes the tortilla chips soft and soggy!!!”

“I'm not sure exactly what was wrong today. But they had one kid who stayed on his phone the ENTIRE time, and turned the music VERY loud because our kids had our phones playing baby shark very low. He was young and disrespectful. The food …”

“Nice lil hole in the wall I would say. Place doesn't stand out but the food makes up for it. Employees was super nice and the restaurant was clean and the food was wonderful.. honestly my daughter got a chicken quesadilla that she couldn't eat all of so I wanted to taste it and it was probably one of the best I've ever had honestly. Will eat again. Thank you”

“Maybe it was just a bad day but this place was very dirty (we didn’t really notice until after we had eaten). We had the burritos with steak. The steak was tough and the tortillas did not hold up in the cheese sauce ending up a soupy mess before we were half way through. I would not recommend this dish”
