"When you go to a restaurant it is mostly about the food, right? The food was okay, but mostly bland. If you put enough salsa on it the taste improved. The salsa was good. The chips were a bit thick, hard, and tasted of the oil in which they were fried. The salsa was good and made them palatable. We had the sample platter as an appetizer. It seemed as if it was still frozen when we came in. I had the L5 'Pepe's' Chili Relleno & Beef Taco. The chili relleno was good but a bit bland. The beef taco was just like the Taco Bell special. The refried beans and rice were good. My wife had the L13 Fajitas Special. She liked them. A good 'tell' as to if the food is authentic mexican food is how many mexicans are eating there. There were no mexicans eating there. The atmosphere was nice, somewhat authentic, colorful & circus like. Our waitress, Monica, was nice & good. A big negative is that they charge you to use a credit card and it is not disclosed until after they charge you for using your credit card."

"I ordered a mojarrita frita but did not get what i thought i was ordering. Might as well have been fish sticks. Left picture is what i got, right is what i thought i was ordering from a Mexican restaurant. What a shame!"

"Visited on Taco Tuesday. Good pri es. Had a Let Than Man-Go to drink and it was good. Our waiter was friendly and nice."

"I came in for a late lunch/early dinner. It's in a strip mall with loads of parking. Inside is nice, typical older mexican restaurant feel..kind of dated, but clean. Chips and salsa were set down. I ordered guacamole, and a carne asada burrito combo (C2). The guacamole was just ok... it had some flavor, but not a whole lot. The burrito came with mole sauce on it (love that) rice and beans. The meat was ok, a little over salted... the mole was real good. I liked the rice with peas and a little potato. Beans were pretty average. Service was a little slow. But overall, ok. I'm giving 4 stars, but it was more 3.5."
