Enchilada, burrito and tamale rice and beans
Tabitha H.

Salsa was tasty and the chips were really good not greasy like typical chips. The salsa had a lot of flavor and a slight kick. Four enchiladas plate bean enchilada just tasted like sauce. The cheese enchilada was made queso. The rice was tasty. Three enchiladas chicken was the favorite the beef seems strange. The rice was good. Enchilada, burrito, tamale. The chicken was really goo in the taco and burrito. The tamale was stuffed with pork that was good. The shell was hard which threw me off. The flavor was good but because it was hard it made it difficult to eat. The beans were slightly runny, the rice was good. Cheese enchilada and chicken taco. The enchilada was blah. I didn't like it at all. Then they gave me a beef taco instead of chicken which had a very different flavor. The ground beef was pink and something just was out of my flavor realm. When I go the chicken taco that was really good. The rice was really good it was well made Mexican rice. The beans had a slightly different flavor and were slightly runny. I am not sure what the flavor was but if I mixed the rice with the beans they were ok. Heavy usage of mozzarella cheese in dishes. The service seemed good to start then kind of faded a little bit. The feel of the restaurant was a Mexican flair. It was decorated in bright colors and was bigger on the inside than I expected. Being from AZ I eat a lot of Mexican food and I am basing the tastes on what I normally would taste.

Shrimp, chicken and beef fajitas
Karolina K.

This place is busy but I guess that is pretty normal in this area with so many visitors. We had to wait about 15 minutes for our table but once we were sitted and placed our order the food came very quickly. Chips and salsa were good. I'm glad they are able to accommodate vegans and their vegetarian section of the menu can be made vegan in most cases. I had the veggie fajita with no sour cream and cheese on refried beans. M. had mixed fajita with beef, chicken and shrimp. Both dishes were very nicely flavored although to salty and pretty greasy. He also had a glass of Mexican beer which they have on tap (Modelo especial) and it's very cheap. Considering that this is a very touristy town this place is one of the best option for not expensive and good food.

Amazing food. The service is out of this world. Very happy place. We come here every single year sometimes 3 to 4 times a year we love it. The food is very reasonable pricewise and the mango margarita is amazing. Definitely two thumbs up

Started out disappointed. When we arrived they were full and told us to wait outside for 20 minutes... which it was quite cold. There was no waiting area so that sucks... facility is a bit small and host was quite rude. Our waiter was kind and quick but quiet. The building was nice and well painted (cute decor) The cups were huge!! The cheese dip was $4.99 for a small, but it fed 3 people and was really good the salsa as well! The chips were a bit stale. Boyfriends food was cold although mine was good, minus the wet tortilla. Totaled to $102 for 4 adults and a kid. They pre-added the tip and charged $1.50 for sour cream which was not brought out. If I lived in the area I would probably return I'm sure it's fun for the locals... although visiting I would not return.

Crunchy rice with leather boot sole and runny milk

Servers were kind of off putting and acting strange. Ordered my food brought out something I didn't order took one bite and asked for a refund the waitress started shaking and walked away.. another woman with glasses came back and asked me "what's on the dish I ordered" like I'm a baby and I don't know what Mexican dish I've ordered 1 million times so I said a refund would be great considering I didn't eat it and was denied a refund . People unless you have a local kick for this place just avoid it the vibe is so off and you'll be forced to eat whatever slop they throw at you. Just AVOID IT!!

Food was good. Service was good! Location is small and the restrooms are in rough shape. Overall, it was good but I don't know if it was great enough to come back again.

Its Taco Tuesday..everywhere..
Debbie F.

I walk in and instantly feel like I'm in Mexico. I saw the reviews and was cautious but my visit was Muy Bueno. The chips were clouds of heaven..light and fresh along side the salsa that carried the same fresh taste. I ordered a margarita..small as they had 3 sizes to choose from..and it came with great presentation and was delightful to drink. I had the taco salad..no beans. The flour shell was great, usually their inedible but not this one..mmmm My grandson had a quesadilla with rice and the quesadilla was perfect..fluffy and full.. the rice was on point with full flavor. I enjoy these little nook places that look like old mexico. It usually means they cook like it too and here I feel they did.

Pollo fundido

It was worth waiting for a table! We were a party of 7 and were glad that they were able to find seating for us. I loved the Pollo fundido.

"Fajitas"
Steph C.

This is what they call fajitas. The fork shows you how much meat they put in the fajitas including zucchini, broccoli and mushrooms. Also, bonus ants in your food that have taken up residency on the tables. Not impressed. At all.

Chips, salsa and margarita

It's an easy to miss little place off the main road but definitely has all the feels and vibes. Awesome and fun decorations. We were seated almost immediately, and within 2 minutes, our server was there with chips and salsa ready to take our drink order. Since we ordered margaritas, we figured it would take a little bit, like most restaurants, but before we knew it, 2 perfectly made strawberry margaritas were placed on the table. Had questions about the menu and needed adjustments, but the server was quick with answers. Food was also placed on the table in record time. I got the Burrito Especial, good size burrito, and very tasty. If you're in the mood for Mexican, go here!!! The menu is huge and several pages or I would have posted that too.

Not a bad place but definitely had to wait a while b4 my food came. However I will give them 4 stars

See all

Love the food, but they are constantly out of Margaritas. Would give 5 stars if it were not for the Margarita issue.
