The food was good and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and attentive. The nachos were the biggest hit with our family (especially with shrimp, yum!). The bathrooms were clean, but there was a bit of a gap in the door to the women's bathroom, which just happens to be right by the entrance.

Good food! And you get a good portion for the pocket friendly prices as well. Win/Win.

Ordered the el toriado (pic) bacon was crisp, chicken was juicy, carne asada was not leather, and the shrimp was sauteed well. The queso was good, ordering extra queso is not a crash move it could use more. Absolute fire, probably the best in an 80 miles radius.

Great Mexican foods. Everything was cooked perfectly, even with the special order of no cheese on some of the meals. I visit each time we visit Carrollton.
