I love this place. I've been coming here for years when it had a different name but the menu stayed the same. Every time I come, I get the steak quesadillas with rice and beans. It's my favorite quesadilla ever! They also serve you chips and dip when you first come in. The atmosphere is nice, they play music and also have tv's. It's good for group parties. The waitresses are nice and do their job efficiently. I totally recommend this place!

The food here is very flavorful, and the portions are more than adequate. The drinks can be a bit strong at times but definitely tasty as well. As for the service, we've gotten very friendly waitresses most of the time. They're always on top of everything which is great. The obligatory tip is a touchy topic however for the service we've gotten I really think it's fair.

Best Mexican food there is. The younger tacos are good, green sauce has just the right about of kick. Rice and beans are flavorful. They have a variety of Jaritos flavors. Probably the best Mexican food in Queens.
