We've been here a couple of times. The food and the service have always been good. This time I tried the bacon wrapped chicken with jalapeño. Very good. The appetizer cheese sauce with meat was also very good. The only disappointment was the mango margarita: the flavor/syrup was NOT mixed in well at all.

Food was delicious and the waitress kept our drinks full. We frequent the one in acton but when we have to go to burleson we stop here to eat. Have never been dissapointed! My beef fajitas quesadia was perfect and my husband loved his chicken and beef enchiladas! Only problem was after we had left the restaurant and went to the grocery store, my husband realized his card was missing. Called the restaurant and they claimed they didn't see it on the counter going out to the door. Someone else posted that they had the same problem... put the card on hold so Noone could use it. My husband never loses cards. Just strange. Food was good though
