I really thought for sure I had reviewed this place in the past. Honestly, I believe I have been coming here for a couple of decades. It has been a staple in my life and my family's life. We either eat here, or get carry-out all of the time. This is our favorite Tex-Mex food, and basically the standard all other restaurants must live up to right now.
First off, I really love their chips. They are hot, crisp, and salty. The perfect bite before, during, and after the meal here. I enjoy the salsa. It is a loose consistency, a nice spicy to it, with the right amount of cilantro, I am a fan of cilantro. You cannot go wrong with a basket or two. If we do not dine in, we always order chips and salsa to go to enjoy at home. I also enjoy their tortilla chicken soup and their chili that occasionally comes with a meal, or to order with a lunch. They are great to dip the chips in or eat as an appetizer.
We have our standard orders which we love, and hate to veer off from ordering. The outrageous chimichanga is a must try meal. It is big enough to share or eat over several days. I reheats wonderfully, I love the big portions. It is hands down the best chimi I have ever had. I also love the super burrito, which I always order wet. It is similar to the chimi, but all of the toppings, beans, and rice are found on the inside, and the tortilla is less crisp, but equally huge and sharable. I will order either if I want to share or eat leftovers for a few days. Their carne asada beef burritos are also good. I have ordered those less since I crave the first two more often.
Honestly, I have been chastised for coming here to get my next order over more authentic food, but they have the absolute best chicken strips ever here! I don't know what it is, but the flavor is so spot on, they don't sell chicken this good elsewhere. My child will just ask for them out of the blue with a sudden craving. Their fries are also very tasty. My kid loves their regular BBQ sauce, I love the ranch. We cannot stop here without ordering these chicken strips, soooo good!!!!!
The picture I posted was a new order for myself. I had just visited the Fenton location, but happened to come here with friends, so I wanted to try something new. I got the Mexican pizza. While it was not my favorite, it was as cheesy as depicted in my picture. I also crisped up so nicely the next day in the oven. Like the other meals, you are served a rather large portion that is almost impossible to finish, which is my favorite thing. I have never left without leftovers.
One thing I did note, which was in the other reviews, is that they did raise the prices. Probably because restaurants are experiencing the same difficult food chain breakdowns as the rest of the country. It is a difficult time. It does make it harder for me to go out, but I do value supporting my favorite businesses, especially during tough times. We had carried out a bit from here last year.
The staff and customer service has always been good and consistent. We have never had anything but positive experiences here. This is for sure one of our favorite restaurants and has been for many years.
