this place doesn't have amazing mexican food but it isn't bad at all. the plates are a little on the bigger side, which may be why the prices are a little higher than other mexican restaurants. i was satisfied with my meal, and that's the important part.

THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE!!!! if I have negative stars, I would definitely rate them negative 5.. never ever ever go there EVER!! even if ur super hungry.. when ur hungry, anything tastes good and this place was horrible.. we ordered two mesa burritos: 1 chicken and 1 steak. When we got them, 1 was half the size of the other, literally the size of my hand. When we ate them, they were cold... the food there is horrible.. and the service is horrible.. I called them to let them know and the guy was extremely rude..

nothing like what it was before.. no wonder they had barely any business when we walked in.. just hope they either change or they may never stay in business...

This place is just ok. Nothing great, nothing bad, just OK.

The service was good, but the place is small. I usually ordered their Southwest burritto with steak, and everything was great. The chips were good, and the salsa bar had a pretty good selection.

The prices are kinda high, but it was still pretty good.

I have been going to this restaurant for years and the great thing about it is that changes and doesn't change at the same time. I can go in and get my regular or I can try something esle and know it is going to be good.

  • Pros: carmailzed onion, sauteed mushrooms, small place
  • Cons: small place

I tried the tomestone burrito. There were like 3 pieces of onion and maybe a 2 specks of mushroom. And for that I paid over $8?? It said on the menu that it includes beans... unfortunately, the cook forgot to put it in. The guy didn't even say sorry. I went once more to try something else on the menu... the adobe quesadilla. It was tiny and cost like $7. It would be ok if it tasted amazing, but I could have made a better quesadilla at home on my frying pan. The salsa bar is small and it is frequently OUT OF SALSA!! I'd rather go to taco bell and get my money's worth.

  • Cons: crowded at lunch, mediocre service, too expensive

My friends love this restaurant because they use only fresh ingredients and the menu is very progressive...from salmon tacos to quesadillas with sun-dried tomatoes and gorgonzola cheese, but the burritos are to die for. I mean really--try the Tombstone Burrito. It has caramelized onions and sauteed mushrooms with a choice of some of the best steak or chicken available. Salsa rivals Chevy's.

  • Pros: inexpensive, fun atmosphere, friendly service

Very good seafood items and fresh mex (blue corn enchiladas are great!). Small salsa bar.

  • Pros: Fresh foods
  • Cons: Small salsa bar
