Menu makes the food look great.Prices had increased so the new prices where written in smeared sharpie.I was concerned that the escape doors to the outdoor patio were partially blocked by long tables.FIRE HAZARD anyone? The tables are so close together, the back of your head will touch the back of the head of the person sitting behind you.After moving our table and chairs, we were a little more comfortable.Food turned out good.We will definitely give it another try.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We appreciate this amazing review Senart!
We haven't eaten here in about a year (due to mistakes with food orders on 2 prior visits) BUT decided to give the restaurant a 2nd chance.......BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!!!! The chicken in the chimichanga was so salty that was the only thing I could taste was SALT!! Half of the beans in the refried beans were only partial cooked and therefore crunchy......our dessert of churros was completely missing from our order......AND when husband asked for a receipt the response was "go online and print it up"!! REALLY?!?! Husband tried to explain that our home was destroyed in the May 10th tornados (had 3 trees come through our roof and we are currently living in a motel and have no access to a printer!!) But the person (believe it was a manager who refused to tell my husband who he was or his name) just yelled at my husband and told him to leave the restaurant OR he would call the police and have him arrested....WTH AND REALLY???!!!!! POOR POOR customer service and if you want poor customer service, poor quality food/dishes then this is your restaurant OTHERWISE STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT!!!! There is a great restaurant off Mahan Drive just past Weems Road that is much much better and the only reason we didn't go there tonight was all the road repaving that is currently happening on Mahan Drive......BAD choice on our PART!!!!
