Always reliably good food. Servers are friendly, food is served quickly, large bar and separate bar area.

Service was okay in that we got waited on and served in good time. However, there was no follow up service, I.e. drink refill, did we need anything, etc. We felt like we got sub service because we used a coupon.

The food is excellent! Especially the tortilla soup...YUM!

Food was OK. Burrito was ridiculously large and swimming in sauce. Mole was not bad. Fajitas were good, not great. Chips and salsa were hot. The best dish was the chicken tortilla soup.

Love, love, love this resturant. Terrific margaritas, food always piping hot and every meal is perfectly prepared and delicious. Never ever disappointed! The service is perfect, and the servers are enjoyable, efficient and never make a mistake with an order.

As usual both my meal and my wifes was excellent. It took a little longer last night to get our meals nut as usual the food was worth the wait.

taking our order was a littke slow, but the food was served very quickly! The staff is wonderful,, so friendly. We left something at the restaurant and they held it for me for 3 days until I was able to pick it up. They treat everyone like family!
The portion size was very good and reasonably priced. Definitely planning a return trip....

The waitress' attitude, the way she talk to customers were very bad! Bad service! I asked for a bigger box to go, but she demanded that small tiny box is big enough for my enchilada. I said it does not fit, it's too big for the tiny box. Then she said, "It's big enough. Do you want me to show you how to put it?" I said, "No, I will just fold it." I came home with a tiny box with full of messy enchilada.
My son ordered burritos. They are small, not stuffed, no vegetables, just a little bit of meat.
We should have got burritos at La Cumbre or other places in San Mateo.
When I paid, the waitress did not say thank you. I asked for a receipt, she said, "it's here!"
I will never ever go there again, nor recommend to my friends.

Excellent, varied menu. Large portions, even a la carte, always served hot. A word of warning, "Only order one Cadillac Margarita if you are driving. Period." They are THAT good. Yum!

Excellent staff, food, atmosphere. It's always a great dining experience.

Food expensive and quality fair. The guacamole had no flavor. The prawns were slightly hard. The food overall did not seem fresh. We regret buying certificates totaling $25 in 2-$10s and 1-$5. The waitress would NOT accept all three at the same time. The only good thing was the margarita...it was tasty but overall food and service were disappointing!

The waitress was exceptional. She was the only server and she treated everyone like they were the only ones in the place. A great experience

We love the tostada salad -- always super fresh, great combination of flavors, and love the cut avocado. We love the fajita, too. Best chips, salsa and margaritas around!
