  Underwhelming, mediocre, cramped and uncomfortable. [It's possible to make a comfortable booth/seating arrangement in this space; previous establishments managed it.] The food is alright, the service is alright, and the atmosphere is alright.

  I had a pretty good dinner here the other day.
  
  I ordered 2 beef tip fried burrito for $7.50, and I must admit, these were the best fried burrito I have had so far! When it comes to the Mexican cuisine, I must admit that I am not too adventurous, and I tend to stick with the same mess: chimichanga or fried burrito- which is ultimately the same! However, what set their dish apart amongst all the others is that they add red peppers in theirs. I found the onions and peppers cooked well-it was still crunchy, and they were not skimpy with the beef tips, which by the way, was seasoned quite well. So in that aspect, I am a fan!
  
  Then there are the chips... they were a bit too thin for me... it was so thin that it kept on breaking every time I tried to scoop up some salsa... grrr... and as for the salsa, it was good, just like any other salsa: which can be a good thing or a bad thing.
  
  My friend had one of the vegetarian plate, and she was not too impressed with it. She said the dish was an onion-overkill and they were skimpy on the cheese... which is very true since my plate was also lacking on some of the cheesy goodness, and the table next to us had to request for an extra side of cheese... I mean come on... get cheesy with it ok?
  
  Oh, the seats were a bit too cramped in there... we tried to get a booth and my friend, who is a skinny girl, found the seats uncomfortable... we opted to sit outside...
  
  But! all in all I had a good time. I will definitely give it another try :)

  Good food, fast friendly service, cool atmosphere, convenient location.  It's also super easy and quick to pick up to-go lunch to take back to the office.  Very fair prices.

  Ummm. If I could give zero stars, I would. The food was just disgusting.
  
  I ordered breakfast tacos with chorizo (my favorite at most mexican food joints) and they were so salty that they were actually inedible. I love salt, don't get me wrong, I'm usually the one harassing others to add more salt to the tortilla chips, but these tacos were disgusting. I even had one of my friends at the table try a bite and he spit it out and hours later was complaining about the burning after taste. Gross. There just aren't words for how bad it was. At least the waitress believed me and took it off the bill, but then she charged me for a soda and I only ever drank water? I didn't even have the energy to argue at that point as I begrudgingly stole some bites of rice from my friend's plate.
  
  SPEAKING of my friend's plate, she had ordered a veggie quesadilla and when it was brought out there was a pool of grease under it. A POOL. When she lifted the top flap of the limp tortilla the veggies inside were black and covered in oil. I don't know if they tried to pan grill these things in lard or what, but it was disgusting. Also, what makes them think that someone ordering a veggie quesadilla would want it to be dripping with oil? Anyway, she could barely eat a quarter of it and afterward complained of a stomach ache. My other friend got a giant frozen margarita (which he says is the only reason he ever goes there) and he enjoyed that, and snacked on the chips like a happy camper as he watched us try and eat the horror that was their food.
  
  Ugh, even writing this review makes me nauseous all over again. I'm done. Don't go here, end of story.

  I'm a city slicker, so I had unfairly low expectations of a Carrollton joint. It turns out you can get pretty decent American-style Mexican food on Adamson Square. Everyone at the table agreed that it had been pretty good and my wife suggested three stars.
  
  Star #4 is for selling a frosty mug of draft beer for $1.50, while still carrying tasty mid-priced drafts like Sweetwater 420 and Fat Tire.
