The service was exceptional, with the staff being friendly and attentive. The margaritas were a hit, adding to the enjoyable dining experience. The food was delicious, especially the Guadalajara Especial and Combo dishes we ordered.

Now everyone has different tastes, but this is a casual friendly restaurant. The food is excellent and the price is compatible with any other restaurant in town. I have eaten here several times and the staff are quick to resolve concerns if I ever have one. Its a nice alternative to franchises and chain restaurants so we usually eat here.

I eat there all the time and I've never had a bad meal. The staff is attentive and friendly. Been going there almost every Friday night for over 8 years

I taco salad from there yesterday and ordered it with no lettuce no cheese no sour cream no beans so it only was supposed to have chicken and guacamole on it they made it with sour cream the boy at the register argue with me over the sour cream then they fixed it and when I got home and opened it up it wasn't even a half a cup of chicken in the bottom of it you didn't even cover the bottom of the shelf and I also ordered a medium-sized thing of white sauce and it cost me $8.75 I don't ever intend on patronizing that restaurant again.
