Im not sure where the previous reviewer ate, but I don't think it was here. Never had anything short of delicious. Extensive menu. Great authentic Mexican food. oh and the Margharitas are fab!

I had the chicken mole and it looked like they pre-boiled the chicken in water, then poured mole sauce on it. a couple of my family members had the chicken fajita and again, it looked like they pre-boiled the chicken, then threw bellpepper and onions on it... Service was sooooo slow... the owner of the restaurant has no concept of customer service.... ALL of my family members and I got sick that nite.... never went back EVER again... YUCK... Even I can cook better Mexican food that this restaurant.

Service was bad, food was even worse! I had the chicken mole, and it was awful!! Usually you stew the chicken in the sauce until it's tender, but it looked like they boiled the chicken in water and then placed it the oven to dry up... They served it by putting the sauce on TOP of the chicken!!... The chicken was soooo dry and rubbery that you couldn't even chew the chicken to pieces.



My step daughter had the chicken fajitas, and it looked like they used the same boiled, dried, rubbery chicken and stir fried it to make it look like fajitas! What a rip-off. It looked like they were trying to save money by cooking the chicken ahead of time and adding the last ingredients (i.e. mole sauce, fajita mix, burrito ingredients, etc.)....



I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they want to get sick when they get home.... both my husband and my step daughter threw up when we got home! Lucky for me, after taking a few bites of my chicken and saw how bad it was, that I lost my appetite.



As for the service, the waitress had better customer service than the manager! After I told him about my food, he just walked off! The waitress was the one who came to me and apologized.... wow....
