Customer Reviews

"Seven of us gathered here for a midday lunch on a Saturday. We made a reservation. I had never been there. There is ample free parking. The decor inside is beautiful, and colorful. It is very clean, the tables and chairs were clean. The acoustics are great, we were in the center of the room and could easily hear each other. Ed was our server. We asked for separate checks, that was no problem for Ed. Service was great, he was on top of everything as we trickled in. Drinks were topped off. Food came out nearly together. It was a lovely experience. I ordered veggie fajitas. They had a red sauce on them instead of just tasting like charred veggies. I didn't love them. The guacamole was delicious. The fish tacos, taco salad, and combo plate were all reportedly good. The fries were said to have needed another minute in the fryer. We would go back for the service and environment."

"We have been coming to this restaurant for many years and it is time to add to this great experience. The food is authentic and delicious. The prices are affordable and reasonable. The restaurant is decorated very well on the outside and inside. The people are kind and professional aaand the wife tells me that their Chile Relleno is the best from all the places we have been to. The place is family friendly, they celebrate birthdays with a nice group song and there is plenty of parking lot spaces."

"Seriously, it was the best molcajete meal I have ever had. It was delicious! The carne asada and pollo asado were nice and thicker than most places. We shared this dish. There is a beautiful layer of fried cheese at the bottom. This meal was great with margaritas."
