After reading all the other reviews here, I decided to check this place out for myself. I wish you could rate based on food and service seperately. I would give the service 5 stars, and the food a 1 or 2. I was barely in my seat when I was served with chips and salsa. Immediately after the chips came, the waitress was at my table with a bowl of potato soup (it comes free with lunch on weekdays). The potato soup was excellent, and I was hopeful that the whole meal would be as good. But then I got to the chips. They were way too thick for my liking, almost as thick as a saltine cracker. The salsa (and I use the term loosely) was more of a runny red liquid...I found 2 little chunks of tomato in it. The flavor of the chips/salsa wasn't too bad, but not great either. I ordered the chicken enchiladas because the menu says they are "generously topped with melted cheese and homemade sauce". I guess their idea of generous and mine are two different things. There was maybe a tablespoon of cheese on each enchilada and by the time I got to the second one, there was not a drop of sauce left on the plate. That was really a shame, because you needed the sauce to dip the oh-so-dry chicken in....so I had to pour on some of the (red liquid)salsa so I could finish them. As someone else mentioned, the refried beans obviously came from a can...and sadly, they were the best part of the meal, aside from the soup (which wasn't Mexican). This is one place I'll never return to. Oh and one more thing...be careful if you use the salt!! I was going to sprinkle a little salt in the salsa and a TON of it came out all at once!

Love those Chimis!

They have the best Chimi-changas and I love the guacamole and bean dip! Fajitas are delicious, too.
