We went through two bowls of homemade chips while we were waiting for our entrées . The queso was very good too. Our server advised she had seen them not to put the hot sauce and pico in the bowl of soup and it wasn't near as spicy so that is how I ordered mine. My grandson said the pork tamales were just OK, not as good as what they usually get closer to home. His friend ate maybe one enchilada in a little bit of rice, he said it was good. My soup looked really good but was super salty.-so much so that I only ate about a quarter of it. During this time our server came back-and-forth to check on us. Make sure everything was OK and refilled the boys drinks numerous times. The real problem comes when you consider the ambiance. The building was very old. The floors were very scuffed and did not look that clean the entire ceiling was those old-fashioned tiles and were stained with water and what might've been mold. The interior could've used a paint job. It was very bland looking. Overall, it didn't look the cleanest either. It's really rare that I have come across a place that was as dilapidated as this. Just be aware of this should you go. I'm hoping for their sake since they've expanded their hours to be open seven days a week that they're able to renovate the property.

The food was absolutely excellent--fresh, flavorful, well-prepared, and made with quality ingredients. You could tell a lot of care went into every plate, from the presentation to the taste. The portions were great, and everything we ordered came out hot and delicious. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, especially considering how busy a first opening day can be. The new location has such a great atmosphere, and we truly enjoyed the entire experience. Congratulations to the Water Well Café team on a wonderful opening--we will definitely be back!

Mediocre. The place is very clean and well organized. The…read morestaff was friendly & helpful with any questions. They brought us our food to the table and picked up our plates after we were done. The menu is basic with tacos, burritos, quesadillas & pupusas and a couple empanada options (served with coleslaw!?). On weekends they have menudo & pozole. They also offer traditional American breakfast items: pancakes, French toast, & bacon. Just reading the menu I knew this wouldn't be an authentic experience. You have a good selection of meat choices. The sausage is either chorizo or country sausage. I ordered a chorizo & cheese taco on corn and a beef fajita gordita. The chorizo was okay, not enough spices to enhance the meat flavor. The cheese was minimal, it was mozzarella cheese. The tortilla was white corn, very bland & didn't taste homemade. Whenever I have homemade corn tortillas at an authentic Mexican restaurant, it's yellow corn & they taste so good, you can eat them solo. The taco did have a huge helping of chorizo & it's larger in size than authentic ones. The beef Gordita was also big and stuffed with fajita meat. It had lettuce, sour cream, & cheese. The tortilla like bun was made of the same ingredients as the corn tortilla & lacked flavor. Although it did hold everything well without falling apart. My friends ate other tacos on flour and the flour looked homemade. The salsas were a creamy green sauce and a red creamy sauce. The green one tasted okay but I didn't care for it. It's not spicy. I didn't taste the red one. My friend did & she liked it but I know she can't handle anything spicy so it wasn't spicy. I just used my tía lupita hot sauce (they have travel packets). Overall it's great, quick service but the food lacks authentic flavors. I don't recommend stopping here unless you're desperate.
