This place was okay. The food was really good but the service ruined it for me. I had a to go order that was sitting on the shelf for a while and I had to go get it myself because no one was handing them out. The same thing happened to a couple other door dash drivers as well.

Originally ate at this place back in the late 70's when it was a "Hole in the Wall" and it still has all of the charm of an "Original Mexican Cafe" with updated interior and exterior amenities. ...The food is still awesome...the chips and salsa are "Yummy".....and there is good service, although I have read people griping about the service and parking in these reviews...if You want perfection....Go somewhere else...if want mystique and good food...Go here....You will have to walk from where You park, so if that is a game changer....You might need to start hitting the gym....soon....All the Best!
