We went and tried this place for the first time ever. I do not live in the area and don't know anything about this place. I have driven by it multiple times over the years while working in the area. I just know it's a big place and sometimes it seems to be pretty busy with a lot of cars in the parking lot.
I'm just gonna be honest here.
It was okay but nothing special. My wife wanted to try the chicken fajitas, so we did. It was an average portion size. To me, the chicken lacked seasoning. It wasn't bland, but it wasn't seasoned well either. When you put all the toppings on the fajita taco, you won't taste it because all the other flavors mesh together. When I tried the meat by itself, it was a different story.
The flour tortillas seem to be homemade. The chips and salsa were good. The rice and beans are reminded me of old school Tex Mex.
It's a huge place with good decor. They were showing the Astros game and also NFL football games.
You get free ice cream on the way out.
I thought the server was decent. He was attentive.
I just don't understand when you tell somebody you never been therefore that they don't care more about that part of it. The server never asked how our experience was. Not a big deal to me, but if it were my restaurant, I would want to know what my new customers thought about my first visit.
The staff were friendly throughout the restaurant. we got lots of smiles and hellos when we walked in. We were also giving a friendly farewell.

Celebrated father's day with my bro in law. The staff was super friendly and met our every needs. The food was delicious and the drinks were on point. I will be back!! Thank you El Toro, you have found a friend in me😊

Our waiter was pretty good & food was great. However, once you realize you're eating under a bunch of dust covered beams then you ask to be moved & wonder how clean the kitchen is.

I have the best mango margarita virgin style ever from this location. I don't know who the bartender was but they were on point. The food is typical Mexican food
Nothing spectacular tell you one thing the AC really works. Service is pretty decent free parking okay prices not too much not too little. The tress leche cake was phenomenal

Was in the area and was in the need of a refreshing drink. I ordered the Cerveza Rita and it was everything I needed. I also appreciated the chips and dip they provided but I was hoping for the green sauce would have some spice to it. The bartender was attentive, although I didn't need much. All in all a good experience.
