Very disappointed. Service was slow right from the start—it took over 10 minutes just to be acknowledged. When the cheese dip finally came out, it was cold and super watery, like they were trying to stretch it. Only good thing was the chips were hot and the salsa had a decent flavor.
Then my food came out completely cold. I sent it back, and instead of making a new plate like any decent restaurant would, they clearly just microwaved it. I even recognized a big chunk of chicken from the first plate. On top of that, the food had zero seasoning—no salt, and not even salt on the tables.
No manager came over to apologize or even check in, which says a lot about how they handle customer issues. We waited over 15 minutes for the bill and ended up having to walk up front to pay.
Between the poor service and cold, flavorless food, I won’t be coming back.

The amount of food you get for the price is great. The ribeye may not be the best grade but the seasoning made it better. Overall recommend if around the area and craving some Tex-Mex.

Watch your bank statements, server adds his own tips!!! We have been to the San Jose restaurant in Land O lakes, FL and twice now the server who calls himself Cesar, and Carlos (based on our receipts) continues to add or increase his tip after you sign the receipt. First incident, we spoke to Arturo, the restaurant manager who assured us this would not happen again. First time, he added 10.00 to his tip. Second time, he added a dollar this time to his tip. Shame on us for trusting this establishment, and disappointed that this employee continues to work there. Again, watch your bank statements.

We absolutely loved this place. The salsa and chips were great. Very good salsa. We had good quick service. We ate here about 2 o’clock on Tuesday and it happened to be taco Tuesday. I ordered a chicken bacon quesadilla and my wife ordered a chimichanga. We also ordered seven tacos. The waitress Emily was friendly, rapid and efficient. The staff seem to work together very well helping each other for a good experience for everyone.
