This Mexican restaurant sits in a strip mall, and while the décor isn't much beyond the usual "American-Mexican" style, they did the best they could to make it feel welcoming.
The chips and salsa were a highlight--lots of fresh chips and a tasty salsa served in a carafe, which I thought was unique. The refried beans stood out too, especially with chunks of pork and hotdog mixed in--something I'd never seen before and really enjoyed.
On the downside, the menus were hard to read--disorganized and overwhelming--and I had to ask for a drink menu since it wasn't provided. The atmosphere was lively and loud with families, which might be a plus or minus depending on what you're looking for.
For food, I ordered a combo plate. Unfortunately, the burrito, taco, and enchilada all tasted almost identical, just wrapped differently. The taco shell felt like something you'd buy at a grocery store, and the enchilada and burrito were nearly the same size and filled with the same meat. Buried under everything was a stuffed pepper with cheese (I can't recall the name) that I couldn't even identify until I uncovered it. Rice and beans were average, and the plate came out nice and hot, as expected.
Overall, this wasn't the best Mexican restaurant I've visited, but I've been to many around the country and probably have higher expectations than most. For the local area, I'd say it's solid. The chips, salsa, and beans alone make it worth a return visit, and while the combo plate was disappointing, the restaurant still left me with a positive impression. read more
