Todo perfecto, solo un detalle importante que no preguntan si la cuenta será junta o por separado ya que al pagar se confunden mucho

Delisiesca Mexicano? If you're not Spanish, it's alright because it means delicious Mexican! People who are Español, please correct me on this review. However, this is like an authentic place to me.

Firstly we got the food. I normally order a Steven Special (chicken rice and cheese in a metalish dish). This place cooks their chicken fresh off the grill, rice fresh outside the pot, and cheese freshly perfected. The chicken is tender and seasoned to anyone's liking, and it's juicy. Boy, does it taste good. Rice is obviously very easy to make boringly, but these folks put in the effort. The rice is fluffy, soft, and flavorful. They have a unique taste. I wish I could get the recipe for. Finally, the cheese sauce is great, too. The cheese is sweet and flowy, tasting extra good. It compliments the chicken and rice perfectly, and it all melts in your mouth. And if you add their salsa, you've got yourself a 10/10 dish. Overall, this place might have the best food of any place I've ever been to.

Next, the service. I understand this place is packed 24/7, but the wait times have been getting seemingly worse. If you call, sometimes they can't pick up for 15 minutes, you wait for 20 minutes after they say that's when it will be ready, then another 5 waiting in line to pick yours up. An hour to get your food is unexceptable. Sitting down is better, of course, you will get your food quicker, but not by a lot. It still takes around 40 minutes to get your food sitting down. The waiters are friendly and add a nice feel. They work as hard as they can. However, the service is very underwhelming to me. You can't wait 40-60 minutes every time you order, no matter how polite they are. 2 stars.

However, the atmosphere is a different story. All mexican waiters, the fast-paced music, enjoyable decorations, futbol, or soccer on the Tv, and the bar. Not many details are needed. Eating here, I feel like I'm in a different country, no exaggeration. The atmosphere is 4 stars, very delighting.

Lastly, the prices. You look at some restaurants nowadays, 23 dollars or x amount of pesos per meal. Here, it's not like that. I can get my huge chicken and rice platter for just 12 bucks! When I eat with others, we end up spending about 36 dollars per meal, or 12 dollars per person, compared to what may be 66 elsewhere.

In conclusion, the food is out of this world, and the atmosphere is delightful to experience. Prices are low, which means you don't have to blow your money away. However, the wait times really hold this place back from being 5 stars. Anything more than 30 minutes is kind of ridiculous. Now, you may be thinking I'm plain and haven't gotten the full experience, but no! I have tried their burritos, quesadillas, fajitas, nachos, lots of things, and all have pleased me similarly to my main meal. Come here if you want an authentic Mexican experience with food to die for, just be prepared to wait for it!

You get what you pay for,
Don't order over phone. They will not make it good. They are super busy bcz they are the only restaurant in town with bar. No competition. People have no choice except to eat atleast what available. Food is not of superior quality but is acceptable.
I perosonaly eat one time a year but everytime i have order food there is always something wrong.
