All was good, but I didn't like the rice. Hubs and son liked the rice, so might be just me or the fact they mixed all their food together before eating. More

I have eaten here many times and the food is always consistently good. However, your booths need to be recovered or replaced. They are in bad shape and very uncomfortable. Also, there are rips and tears all in the seats.

12/14/2022 My 1st time time going there. I felt it was kinda sketchy for me personally but my family wanted to eat here so badly. I didn't notice a score card (saying that it wasn't there). But the food was good but the service was horrible. Let me elaborate; I noticed besides my family of 3 black women and 1 (black man) male and his white friend seated in front of us, there were mostly white men sitting. The crazy thing about our hostess is she was also our waitress too but what me and my family noticed as we waited for some extra napkins, she would pick up the pace and ask the white men whatever they need she would have out to them no time time flat. (Extra: the restaurant wasn't crowded approx 4 seated customers including us) However, it took over 30 minutes for her dragging her feet to finally bring us some napkins. I personally wanted to leave (wished I did while I'm struggling to survive in the hospital now:/)
12/15/2022 i had fevers that when I broke them, return within 2-3hrs later, chills, diarrhea, vomiting, shortness of breath, severe weakness in my joints and muscles that i barely could walk, and I was holding down water. So 12/17/2022 i was rushed to the Madison Hospital for for my symptoms. It's 12/20/2022 and I'm still not out of the woods of my acute food poisoning that has triggered another chronic illness Aspirated Pneumonia. I'm now a case study as to why I keep having fever spikes and toxins in my blood that an Infectious Disease Doctor has gotten involved with my current team of doctors to offer help with my food poisoning :') Yes I will be celebrating NY 2023 here at Madison Hospital as they continue to run tests on me. Thank God for Health Insurance! :'/

Wednesday buffet no longer exists 😔 but if everyone ate only chicken fajita meat, strawberries & watermelon as I did how could they possibly profit from it?
I have been overcharged here previously. Not all employees are fluent in English, just pre recalculate your ticket before checking out.🖒

When you first walk in, you're immediately greeted with a welcoming smile. The server came right over and took the drink order, and gave ample time to look over the menu. I ordered the cheese dip, and the chicken nachos, and didn't wait but 15-20minutes for the food to arrive. The dish wasn't too small or too large for that matter, but just the right amount, and it tasted adequate. It was obvious the plate had just come from the microwave as the it was piping hot, so I took a closer look only to be a little disappointed to see the dish consisted of mostly melted cheese and what looks to be the bottom of the bag of tortilla chips. Over all, the experience was pleasant but there is plenty of room for growth. 3 of 5 stars.

We enjoyed a good meal here but was not wowed. The chips tasted old and oilly. And this wasn't the first time we've had chips from here that were unsatisfactory. The Carne asada meals we ordered were good. The steaks were really well seasoned and tender. However they have changed the rice from how it used to be and it wasn't as tasty as it used to be. The waitress was very nice and sweet and checked on us often. She seemed to have been waiting on the whole restaurant and tables by herself. We are also saddened that they have taken so many of the real authentic Mexican dishes off of the menu and serve mainly American Mexican version food.

I will never eat here again! I called for 45 minutes to try and place a to-go order and never got an answer. I drove to the restaurant and the lady said they closed at 830pm but all the signs say 9pm and there was people inside. When I asked why there was no answer the 26 times I called the lady said they only had three people working. They need to CLOSE the doors if that is the case. I ordered food from Cabo San Lucas at 830 with no problems and they also close at 9.

I am very surprised by all the reviews saying the food was good but service was bad .... was just the opposite for us. Food was AWFUL - I ordered shredded chicken nachos, which turned out to be basically flavorless boiled chicken.... and there was a piece of bone that almost went into the roof of my mouth. The cheese sauce was almost non-existent. The husband ordered a chimchanga, which was the same boiled chicken with zero flavor :( . I can't complain about the service ... the waitress was very pleasant..... I'm not sure if it was a bad day in the kitchen or what ... but don't think we will be back :(

Service was slow due to lack of staff(one waitress, and I think maybe one cook in the back). The food was just okay. The chicken quesadilla I ordered barely had any cheese, but tasted fine. The chicken had a good flavor.

As a usual at this restaurant I love it there. I always normally get the Tex Mex fajitas and every time I enjoy it. The waiters are nice and respectful. However, the space in the restaurant is a but cramped. Nevertheless, they have amazing food and I highly recommend you try it out

Poor service and then you can't just get one taco or one cheese enchilada they say you have to get 3 knowing that kids that are under 6 can't eat a lot of food and it would go to waste. The waitress says it's not my problem getting smart … More

Great food. Warm atmosphere. One of our favorite places in Moulton to eat. I do feel it's common to be overcharged, so pay attention to your menu prices if you're concerned about such a thing - you do not get a detailed receipt.
