Loud, crowded tables, and poor service. The chicken was tender but lacked seasoning. We hardly saw the server. She didn't check to see if needed refills. She didn't offer dessert menus. We sat for 10 mins waiting for the check.

We ordered from the lunch section of the regular menu, not the "lunch specials" that are only Monday through Friday 11-2 (time may be off a little), and was told we'd have to pay $1 extra per meal because it was a Saturday. The menu did not indicate this extra pricing for regular lunch section.

I ordered the baja fish tacos and the empanada platter appetizer. Both delicious!! That grilled pinepaple salsa that comes in a dish on the side of the fish tacos is perfection!!! The epanadas are large and stuffed, enough for four people to each have one. The server, Stephania, had great response time, friendly not invasive, and got my order right (I ordered flour tortillas instead of corn for the fish tacos). I forgot to take pics of the beautiful plates. I highly recommend these two dishes! My only complaint is that I felt cold in the restaurant. However, if it had not been raining outside, I would have sat outside on the patio by the water fountain.

They were busy as usual on a Say night and the food was great, but service was slow. And it took us a while just to get silverware and napkins. Also they calculated our bill incorrectly at first. I may not go back as we have found other Mexican places better lately.

Good mexican selection. As with most restaurants with employees who grew up in another country, some never smile and almost look like they're pushing themselves to serve you; however, most do not delay their service to the customer. It doesn't cost the server to treat you with courtesy and mean it. Probably would increase tips! Our female server the other day was very good.
