For those who love Tex-Mex or want to enjoy live guacamole, this is a great place. It's casual and offers Mexican flavors. The food was decent, the ambiance was just okay, and the service was relatively slow. Normally, the chips and salsa served at the beginning aren't very savory, but we found them, especially the chips, quite appetizing. It's a good way to pass the time while waiting for the food, especially when paired with fresh salsa and chips along with draft beer. The food was a bit slow to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait. Whether we ordered the border bowl, grande taco salad, or the quesadilla and fries combo from the kids' menu, everything tasted fresh and delicious. Finally, the brownie sundae was the perfect way to end the meal!

Have liked this place for a long time but don't go very often. I appreciate that the chips are nice and hot. The service was great, although there were only a couple other tables since we were there at 2:30 pm. I enjoyed the margarita flight. I was surprised to like the strawberry. I was expecting it to be overly sweet but it was not.

Amazing place for dinning with family, friends or with spouse. Service was great. Food was really yummy. They have good varieties of Margarita. Try pineapple margarita which is good. With drink and food, be ready to spend 30 to 35$ per person.

This Tex-Mex restaurant has some good things going for it, especially their margaritas which are surprisingly strong (tip: get a frozen marg w/sangria swirl, blue lagoon, or mangonada!) The food is hit-or-miss; while the Border Sampler (quesadillas, flautas, steak nachos) and Chicken Tortilla Soup are great, the fish tacos are just okay and tres leches was no bueno (super dry). The atmosphere is vibrant and colorful, service is fine overall. Their house chips & salsa are the bomb, and so is their signature house queso!

Atmosphere was comfortable, welcoming, and colorful, very TexMex. Food was hit or miss, beans were good, enchilada was OK, empanada was bland with very little filling and the rice was terrible. Rice had a medium rare quality to it, crunchy center gummy exterior, flavor was overpowered by the texture and corn kernals. I honestly wanted to spit it out. I think our server was new, it took 30 min to have our order taken, and when I had questions, she needed to get her manager. I could see that she was extremely busy and was trying her best, so it looks like maybe staffing was an issue. Overall experience was right in the middle, I didn't hate it and I didn't love it. I don't see myself making the choice to go back but if invited I'll watch somebody make Guac.
