Ramiro Baltazar Guys I am sooooo sorry , I put a two star review the other day but it was a total accident , my phone was acting up, the service was great! Kassandra the bartender was so friendly and very attentive to my order. The manager Marilou was also actually hands on trying to make sure everyone including me , that was being tended to when it came to our order. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone . The drinks are actually very good and the food is very well prepared. To the owner and the staff, thank you so much for the wonderful experience. You have a forever customer.

cherrie daugherty Were on vacation from Missouri (home of the famous Kansas City BBQ), and found this place when looking for places to eat. First time having Texas BBQ, and it did not disappoint! Everyone was super friendly, the portions were huge, and the food .... chefs kiss. 10/10 recommend!!!!

john guerra Second year in a row we had our fantasy football draft here. Very accommodating and super helpful. Plenty of space to not be in the way. Oliver took care of us the entire time and was fantastic. Look forward to going again.

Allie Maldonado The place is hidden in the back and doesnt look like much on the outside. However the food here is delicious and fresh. There was a small wait to receive our food but it was worth it. Love it! Definitely coming back and recommending it to all my friends and family!

M Amanda Had a great lunch here! Server was awesome! She was friendly and had a great sense of humor. Food was so flavorful and fresh, overpriced but what Tex-mex isn’t? They did have a few affordable items on the menu. Music was a little loud but we know how to talk louder. Overall, our visit was great!

Summer Enriquez It was the first time either my fiance or I had been to Olive Garden and honestly it didnt disappoint. Food was delicious, quick and very filling. We had the Calamari, loved the super fresh and crispy rings. The Grilled Chicken with Broccoli Alfredo, and Girlled Chicken Totalini with meat sauce. Both were phenomenal. I wont hold the very consistent and persistent crying kid against yall, because he impressed us with a solid 40 minutes of crying. Other than that everything was top notch!

Charles Langley Taqueria El Jaliciense always has excellent food and excellent service. The food comes out quickly with no issues. They always have the orders right. Ive been eating at this restaurant for over 25yrs and will still be eating there 25yrs from now. They will always have a recommendation from me no matter where Im at in the world.

Hungry Sparrow Weve eaten here so many times, the food is awesome. The burgers are melt in your mouth good. The atmosphere feels like a old school dinner. The open salad bar is a great feature to get the perfect custom burger. Their special burgers offer this that are not part of the salad bar like blue cheese, avocado, grilled jalapenos, grilled onions and portobello mushrooms.

Cozzy H 1/10/2026 Our first time there. Everything we had from the buffet was delicious and full of flavor. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, checking on our drinks frequently. The restaurant was clean, parking was easy, and the overall experience was excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, and we’ll be back!

George Cherepes Great ribeye and Shrimp Penne. Excellent waitstaff, we were definitely surprised. Will now be one of our normals!

efrain guevara Truly a very good restaurant. The fajita is well seasoned. I am happy that a Mexican restaurant actually used all fajita and not fajita for tacos. No fat just meat, in my torta, quesadilla, street tacos and enchiladas. My family and I ordered all fajita plates to see if they used different types of fajita, but they didnt and all the food was delicious. It was our first time at this restaurant and it will not be our last. See you soon Taqueria Vallarta.

Cecilia Fields My husband and I visit Boyds at least one a week for the catfish nugget basket. The service is great, always greeted with a smile, and fish is hot and seasoned. The price is affordable and plentiful.
