Food was at best mediocre. Big plate of mostly beans and rice. Service was adequate, but not outgoing or cheerful.

Although I made a reservation, they had no record of it. The hostess was very pleasant and arranged seating for our party. It was a birthday lunch so I needed to remind them to make our friend feel special. The food was good and the cost inexpensive .

Although I reserved using the link to this app directly from the restaurant's website, and received a reminder, the restaurant was not aware of the reservation. They said the app didn't always work. Luckily, they were able to accommodate our party of 18.

So, I used to go here a lot and want to give it a good review. This is the second time I have gone in the last few months and it will be the last. The first time I ordered cheese nachos and I got chips covered in shredded beef and no cheese. I had to send it back. This time I ordered the beef tamale and it was all beef. There was so much it was like a roast covered in tamale. They give huge portions, but that does not make it worth it. The table was a little dirty and overall it is really loud. Our waiter was good and very friendly, but can't make up for the bad food.
