Haven't been here in awhile, so I thought I'd give it a try. Had shrimp tacos. They were very good. Service was excellent. My server was friendly and very knowledgeable. Tables were clean. Atmosphere was great. Recommended!!

Ordered via DoorDash. Hawaiian chicken not what I expected. A whole chx breast smothered in sauce, a couple pineapple chunks and overlaid by huge slices of ham. Menu said it came with veggies, I expected small chx and ham pieces with pineapple, tomato, peppers and onions. Instead only veggies were in a separate container of carrots and broccoli. It was fine, but misleading and would not order again.

Great service, good food at a good price. If you are there M-F during the lunch hour, ask for Demaris. She is very friendly, and attentive. Saturday and Sunday menudo is on the menu.

Great food and great service. We normally have several families and multiple kids when we eat there and the staff is always friendly and puts up with us even though our group can be a handful. Food is always fresh, drinks are refilled quickly, and we have never had any issues at all. Highly recommended.

Fantastic service and food was superb. Great flavors and they serve good salsa with their chips not bean dip and that is how it should be.

Very good Mexican food! We have only ever ordered it to go, but it's delicious and we keep coming back! The staff is attentive and friendly when we arrive to pick it up, and our orders are always prepared and packaged correctly. The facility is festive and inviting, and the spacious layout makes it never seem to be over crowded. Highly recommend this facility if you're looking for quality Mexican food that will not disappoint!

Best chips in Greenville. Great lunch specials. Prices are reasonable to cheap and the food is fresh. You have to try the pollo ranchero. Also they give 50% discount to police and first responders!! Have nothing

One star only because I can't say 0 stars. The order was completely wrong. We ordered special nacho cheese salad as we always do. I tried to be easy to get along with, but big mistake. When the bill came it was almost $20 for two orders of a little chicken a few chips and some cheese dip, should have been $14. After I complained they changed the ticket to fajita nachos no vegetables. Not what I ordered. The manager was less than helpful. He was like I lowered the bill what do you want me to do. I have gone from a regular once a week customer to I will not be back and would urge others to think twice about going and potentially putting up with horrible customer service. Telling me the waitress was new was not an excuse I will tolerate. So long there are too many other quality restaurants around to put up with your BS.

The worst service and experience we have had in 15 years. Asked for no salt on margarita and got salt. Asked for 2 diet Cokes and got 1. Never got straws. Asked for extra onions with fajitas and got none. We received our food one item at a time with 10 minute gaps in between. Menus were dirty and covered in salsa. No toilet paper in the ladies room. At least 5 employees at all times lingering at the front of the restaurant while customers were being ignored. This will be our last visit.

I usually get takeout and the last 2 times the order has been incorrect. I enjoy the food and they are prompt. Portions generous. Depending on the hostess, I'm offered ice water. It's hot outside and ice water is most welcome. I'll give 5 stars once my order is correct.

A good meal, decent sized portions. The vegetable fajita had a nice variety of vegetables. Very flavorful although this is the only Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten in that only serves TWO wraps with a meal. Pleasant and attentive service. I'd like to give 5 stars but upon arriving we were asked which side of the restaurant we would like to sit. I told the hostess this was our first time eating there so she sat us in front of the kitchen door. I guess she thought this was the best seat in the house. Noisy and distracting.

On our previous visit, both the food & service were excellent. That didn’t hold true a couple of days ago when only the service was notable. The quality of the food dropped considerably between the two meals. We’ll go back sometime to see if there’s been improvement. I’ll amend this if it’s better.

My fiance and I claim this as our Mexican restaurant. Eduardo always lets us sit in his section no matter how busy he is, and if his section is full, he's worth the wait. He's memorized my order, makes some really good margaritas, and brings my fiance new foods and spices to try. His catch phrase "Don't worry about it" makes the experience that much better: we truly forget all our worries when we eat here. Eduardo takes the time to laugh with us and get to know us. Oh, and the food is good too!! Their spicy queso is irresistible, and even though I get the same thing every time, my fiance enjoys the variety of dishes they offer. He's liked everything he's tried. Seriously, try it out, but don't steal Eduardo from us 😉
