I have actually been to this place a few times and each time it is better than before. This is a very mom and pop kind of place. Most people in here know one another and speak Spanish. They even have some straight from Mexico entrees on the menu, so it is very authentic. I find the atmosphere very gaudy, but the food is quite good. The prices are a little above average, but if you aren't intimidated its a good place to go. I'd recommend it to people and have taken out of town guests here as well. The service is always very good.
Pros: Actually a very good Mexican restaurant
Cons: Kind of intimidating if you are anglo
