History
Established in 1990.
We opened our first location in downtown Glendale in 1990. Since then we have opened 4 more locations in Phoenix, Glendale, and Surprise. All locations are family owned and operated. Serving authentic Mexican dishes at a great value and establishing friendships with each and every customer has kept us in business for over 20 years!
Food sucks. Cold ass taco's rice is nasty medium cup looks small then they want you to pay 25 cents for a refill
Very solid Mexican food restaurant. Clean and a nice salsa bar. I appreciate that they had vegan and vegetarian food available and listed on the menu. I got the vegan black bean burrito and it was very good and hardy. Thank you Caramba.
Our first visit and even though I said "perhaps our last" I need to retract that comment because the food was excellent and told the chef. Our cheese enchiladas were cheesy with lots of sauce and flavor. My chicken Cesar salad was excellent. The chicken cooked perfect, flavorful and tender with crispy romaine. The dressing wasn't to fishy tasting.
There are two issues: 1. The gal who took our order was RUDE!! I ordered 1 margarita on the rocks and 1 blended. I wanted to make sure she heard I wanted sat on the rim so I reiterated that to her and she replied "I heard you" with an attitude. Unfortunately the blended totally lost its flavor but my husbands blended was spot on with both taste and alcohol content. I said to my husband "return the blended and let them know it has no taste and basically tastes like water". When he did, the same gal who took our order wanted to charge us for another margarita instead of kindly replacing it with a margarita on the rocks. And of course, all with an attitude. I realize it's a small place but when I was a server, I ALWAYS made sure my customers likes and dislikes came first. That's how it's done to keep customers happy and returning.
I did tell another gal who was diligently cleaning and sweeping the dining area why the blended lost its taste and she replied "the "on the rocks" is the best" and I totally agree!! So much, we bought another "on the rocks".
Nice place. Not a restaurant style, more like a take out with tables and cushioned chairs but clean. They have a fresh salsa bar for the free chips you get with your orders and both chips and salsa choices are yummy.
They keep the restaurant very clean at least the day we were there the gal was diligently cleaning which is nice to see.
My biggest complaint was the gal who took our order and her awful attitude!! I was in the service industry and the customer ALWAYS CAME FIRST no matter what their gripe was.
Anyways, come and enjoy the food and the yummy margaritas "on the rocks" only and hopefully you won't wnxountwr the RUDE gal we did.
