My family and I planned on going to Wholly expecting the usual crowd and its well known 45 minutes to an hour wait. But, thanks to the advise of the other diners of this site, I called ahead and was put on a...

Ok not only did we wait over an hour and fifteen minutes to be sat, but the staff was overly rude, with the exception of the waiter. The food was mediocre at best, not enough spice or flavor. On top of that...

I love this place. I do not care for the chicken because it is cubed and not shredded! The guacamole and chips are really really good. Salsa is a little hot for me but i am a wimp!

Yes, the wait is long but that indicates the popularity of the place. The food was excellent and the service better than expected considering the crowd. Everything I have tasted in this restaurant has been...

The service at this establishment is appalling. The wait is long; the service indifferent; and the manager is downright rude. The food was, at best, edible. I would not recommend this restaurant if my life...

This restaurant serves some of the best Mexican food I've ever had, and I'm Mexican, so I eat Mexican food almost every day. I agree with the other reviews that the wait is incredibly long, I've waited two...

So, I really don't understand the hype surrounding this place. Maybe I'm just not authentic enough to really appreciate it, but I don't think it tastes that great. I've heard so many people like it so...

Far and away, the best Mexican restaurant ever! This is NOT your basic taco and enchilada joint; this is top of the line dining with fresh, creative, and beautifully-presented meals. And if you want...

This independent Mexican restaurant has great food, a cozy atmosphere and extremely reasonable prices. They have a children's menu, and you can BYOB. Phone ahead for reservations, though, because waits can be...

After waiting for 5 to 10 minutes to be seated, 5 more to order, the food came. A large portion of mediocre flautas came, too much to eat. Asked for a container to take leftovers and a small salsa condiment to...
