    The food it's AMAZING! I ordered carnitas with buche and cueritos. OMG absolutely delicious. The service is phenomenal, they were so sweet. The ambiance is great. It remains my home country.

    Lovely, authentic café. Amazing, personable service. Small but unique menu. Artsy, homey, felt like family. Not the most amazing food maybe, but certainly among the best restaurant experiences.

    The restaurant is in a strip mall and is what you would typically find. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The food was amazing. To include the flan which was made fresh.

    Small kind of hole in the wall place with excellent service and good food. Nothing fancy but our server was great and had no issues with splitting a check for a group of 6. Food came out fast and the macho burrito with carnitas was excellent. The meat was really moist and the burrito had lots of flavor.

    We stopped in here yesterday wanting to get a quick snack. We were blown away by the delicious food! We started out with what they put on the table, which is salsa, pico de gallo, and some tortilla chips. The pico de gallo is very different from what I experienced in eastern North Carolina. Look at my picture to see what I mean. It was very good though! I loved topping the tortilla chip with pico, salsa, and the guacamole we ordered. The walk amole is another topic... It is definitely different from what I have experienced as well. It is more liquidy. Still delicious though. We also ordered the birria with refried beans and rice. To make it all come together one should definitely get the homemade corn tortillas! They are awesome! When it was all said and done we paid about $14 and left full. We will definitely return!

    Carnitas taco. Delicious!!

    Once again Yelp wins! I never would have found this place…read morew/o Yelp. It's not far out of the way but it's not a place most people would just happen by. The Lemongrass is a true hidden gem! I've now been 3 times including once for lunch. All three experiences have been great including 2 to go orders and a dine in. The dining area was busy on all 3 trips but on the one dine in occasion we were seated quickly. Seems, in Yuma in general, people eat and leave! The potstickers were so good I scarfed down 2 before I remembered to take a pic. Seem made in house and not frozen. Egg drop was fantastic. it was so good I added it to my lunch to go order too! The mongolian beef was well cooked and flavorful. It's pretty much beef, dried chilis, and a couple kinds of onion in a dark sauce. Very good! The Happy Family is great too. Chicken, bbq pork, and shrimp, with mushrooms and veggies in a light sauce. I like spicy so I added sriracha but that's just me. Our service for dine in was fantastic and attentive. My to go orders were ready on time and well packaged. Quick, easy, efficient. If you made me say something bad about my experiences, the worst thing I could come up with is "The fortunes in the cookies are pretty corny"! This will be my Go-To place for Asian food in Yuma!

    I had been hungry for thai food so a lunch stop was made. However, my husband isn't really a thai…read morefood fan. The restaurant is small and probably more tables than should be there. It was lunch and terribly noisy. We could hardly hear each other over the other tables. Too bad you can't tell the workers to use their inside voices. However, it was fine. We had two servers it seems. The first one was younger, took our order. I can't say she was unfriendly but she definitely wasn't friendly so maybe shy -- wrong job for her. The other server seemed to have a little more on the ball. My pad thai was good. It could have had a bit more moisture but it was good. The egg drop soup is delicious. I'm not sure if we'd return. It just didn't seem like a very friendly place. However, search is on for other thai restaurants in this area.

I'll definitely go back when I am in Yuma. Pretty big portions too.

It was another 15 minutes before the "fish and chips "was brought to the table.. having replaced the french fries with a cup of chili, I checked it to see if it was hot it was!!! Was the coleslaw called?? it was!!! But as I looked at the three planks of fish, my heart sink. Greasy glisten of the tempera like batter concerned me.. the batter was tough and I was unable to cut it with a fork. The tartar sauce was tasty and with a squeeze of lemon on the fish I was delighted to finally have food. I was only able to eat halfway through the first piece of fish before I started peeling away the batter once all three were released from their tough greasy death shrouds... I was able to enjoy about three ounces of fish! The server was attentive and offered a fresh decaf coffee cup to go! I have no idea what was going on at Black Bear last night . Absolutely not what we have experienced previously. The chili was spicy. The coleslaw was fresh.. the 1st cup of decaf was deplorable! Better days ahead I'm hoping !
