It sure isn't the decor that keeps us coming back to this place. The reason: the combination of the quality food, huge portions and service staff that treat us like family. Lunch can be crowded and busy, so we generally go for dinner. The margs are enormous, and the dinner plates too. The carnitas de pollo is my favorite. There are always leftovers, but I usually get two and sometimes three meals out of it. It is a nice family atmosphere, so we sometimes have large extended family gatherings here too.

I usually come here once a week for lunch since it's fairly close to where I work. The food are pretty good despite of the cheap price. All of the items for lunch are under 7 dollars. And I'm telling you, their portion is huge. I mean for an average person, you can split your lunch in half and save it for tomorrow if you don't mind to eat left over food. You can always fill you up with all-you-can eat chips and salsa. Btw, their salsa is way beyond medium. It's really spicy yet very addicting. I don't think kids can eat these salsa at all

The food are pretty consistent. I've tried from taco salads, enchiladas, taco, burritos, etc... They are all good. I've never been there for dinner but it can be bit pricey.

CONS:
- Parking might be hell during peak time for lunch,
- Interesting / weird decors, well someone might call it "old school"
- Servers with thick accent and speak too fast and use the word "Amiga" every 5 secs.... I mean one time I asked this girl to repeat three times and yet my coworker still had to interpret for me. Perhaps my ears ain't working....lols
