This is a restuarant the wife and i have been to several times, and the consistantly good food and attentive service make it a pleasure to dine. I don"t know about authentic , all i can say it suits our taste. If you want anything else, go to Mexico! Try the margaritas, wife says they are great!

Not the best authentic mexican, more like Americanized, a bit slow and pricey, authentic for a family of 4 about 35$ at this place over 45$

we go here every Sunday for lunch because of the cheap lunch menu. Unfortunately, they redid the menu and now the prices are higher and the selection is much less. They have also eliminated a small side salad from al dinners, which is disappointing. Portions seem to be a bit smaller since the menu change. They got rid of my... More

Been going here for years, everything is always good. I dont care if it's "authentic" mexican I like the food and so do my friends. If you've got kids they'll probably love that it's not very authentic either. Prices are cheap, they recently redid the menu and god rid of some things but it's much more organized.

We decided to visit this restaurant based on the trip advisor rating as we passed through town on business. The restaurant is in an unimpressive location in a strip mall, though we've found some real gems tucked away in plain sight in these locations. Restaurant was empty, never a good sign, but we trust Trip Advisor so we went on... More

I eat here frequently, the service is always A+ and the food is always fresh and delicious. I have come for both lunch and dinner and really enjoyed it. The interior has lots of booths and tables, and there is also a large patio area for when the weather is warm.
