    Chile relleno and empanada plate
    Jennifer H.

    This cute little Mexican restaurant is tucked away on historic Pike Street in Dayton. The front entrance was so inviting with a small courtyard and flowers at the entrance. When we walked in it was such a cozy atmosphere and we were greeted with a friendly welcome from the hostess. The service was quick and the food was hearty. Chips and salsa were complimentary. We ordered fish tacos and the chile relleno and empanada plates both served alongside beans and rice. The food was delicious and satisfying. There's ample parking on Logan Alley and along Pike Street. There's even an outdoor patio with seating in the back.

    Pork chili rellano

    This hidden gem is a place I will NOT forget! It's always the small, hole in the wall places that have THE BEST food. Service was awesome but the food! Omg we had a chilli rellano, Carne asada tacos and a tamale on the side. Get.the. Tamales! Or the rellanos. The house made green sauce on the delicious pork rellano was to die for, but then my friend made me try the tamale and I think I died and went to tamale heaven. I will drive all the way from reno for sure!

    We ate here after a Yelp Elite event in Dayton. If was a good place to have dinner with friends after the event. There's some fun places to see in Dayton, so it's good to have a place you can have a nice dinner at before heading home.

    Mistress Ava King did serve us most diligently, with a swiftness and care most rare to behold. She did replenish our cups without delay whensoever they were emptied, as though she foresaw our need ere we spake it. Her service was of the highest order, ever courteous, and her countenance adorned with a gracious smile. Naught was wanting, for she attended each matter with haste and precision, leaving no guest in neglect. Verily, such devotion to her charge is seldom seen, and her labor deserveth the highest commendation. By my troth, her service meriteth ten of ten, yea, and more beyond measure.

    Poor excuse for quesadilla. $15 for a chicken quesadilla.

    0 Stars for Service 0 Stars for food 0 Stars total My family tried this restaurant for the first time tonight. We were hoping for some good Mexican food. First, online menu is not up to date compared to the in store menu. Prices are drastically different and very over priced. Food is average at best. "Authentic mexican"?? Carajo. mierda! Second, service is horrible. I ordered $91 worth of food and they messed up my order. I drove back from Stagecoach to Dayton and I asked for them to show me where the Chile Relleno (a stuffed pepper) was mashed into a enchilada. As the waitress tears apart the meal to show me the tiniest stuffed pepper, another waitress cracks a smile and sarcastically says "So we'll see you again?" So unnecessary considered I was overcharged on the sloppiest average food ever.

    Carne asada tacos

    I ordered two carne asada tacos with rice and beans and it was $18. The tacos were good. The rice and beans seriously lacked flavor. Overall it was good and I'll be back in a pinch but I think they are crazy over priced for what you get.

    Super burrito, meat and wet tortilla with bland sauce $18
    Selena C.

    Where to start? Poor customer service? Check. Crappy food? Check. Posted menu not even close to actual price? CHECK!! $18 for a wet burrito with some Carne in it. That's a "super burrito" . Menu price showed $14.50 charged $18 in store. No flavor. Asked for NO ONIONS, we have an allergy. On a cheese enchilada? Shouldn't be an issue. Oh, but we got a shredded beef enchilada. TWICE. After we went back and said this is wrong, 15 minute drive, they made the enchilada wrong again. It's for a kid who doesn't eat meat. Sorry we ordered cheese and you can't accommodate. We also ordered a Chile relleno....they shoved it under the enchilada and it's so small, you can't even tell. Ordered a la carte no beans no rice....twice they got that wrong. Cheese quesadilla? Online $8.25 what we were charged? $9.60 Chicken quesadilla? Online $11.25 what we were charged? $15 POST YOUR PRICES CORRECTLY!! You charged $6 for a to go order that we picked up AND came back again to get it fixed!!! It's so nice that in a small town where we don't have options, the one option we have is over priced, rude and tasteless. Next time, I'll go to Reno. You were rude on the phone and rude in person when we went back in. Never again.

    Steak, enchilada, rice, beans, sour cream and Jalapeño

    Food was very good. Tasty steak, beans and rice. I had low expectations but as a Southern California who migrated to North NV, this might be some of the best Mexican food I've had up here thus far. Just one fatal flaw - no Mexican beverage staples: horchata, tamarindo or Jamaica. Please consider adding these to the menu and this place will be a no brainer recommendation!

    I recently moved into this area. The restaurant is with walking distance of my front door. I…read moregenerally go in there and order the run of the mill gringo stuff, but tonight I asked for a recommendation. The waitress said, "¡Tienes que probar el menudo!" She was right...it was the best I ever had., It's a whole in the wall place, but don't let looks fool you, the food was amazing and the staff was friendly.

    I have been in the area very often lately or on the way to and from Dayton. I decided to stop by…read moretoday since my past attempts to get food here were unsuccessful. I was happy to see they were open and went in and placed my order to-go for a chicken quesadilla, quesabirria tacos and an asada burrito. I tried everything and it was fresh and hot. The salsas were delicious and the hot red is spicy. I love eating grilled chiles with my favorite Mexican meals and appreciated the extras in my plate. Service was fairly quick and just as quickly as my order went in, it came out. I sat off to the side and watched three women working together in this small kitchen to get the orders our out and worked in beautiful harmony. Family run establishments and local businesses are my favorite to support. I think this one needs more kudos. They are attatched to the country store gas station in Carson. I believe there are just five tables in this dining room and seemed to have tables outside as well. Prices were good for the amount of food I got. I'll take that as a win in this economy. The only downside were the chips, but everything else was delicious! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

    This place has quite a soried history. Recently reopened after somne drama and legal issues with…read morethe original owner. Apparently, he still owns the buildings but is not allowed to run the busines or even hang out during business hours. Anyways...... This place has the best Bloody Mary's in Virgina City. HANDS DOWN. Bucket of Blood and the Delta dont compare. (I've had jsut about every bar's bloody mary in VC.) I like my Bloody Mar with side car of Miller high life. Now, for you folks not form the midwest, many of the bars will pour you a small glass (4-5oz) of beer whenyou order a bloody mary. We call that a side car. They dont do that here....(but they should!! HINT HINT to Bonanza bartenders!) So, I basically make my own and order a cold beer and share it bewteen the two of us. Th place is huge and they could host a huge party or even a large wedding easily. The restaurant next door is a Mexican resturant and I'm not sure if it is owned by the same owner or there is just a cooperative agreeement but they will serve you in eother location and they are connected on the inside. I have not eaten here so cannot reveiew the food. (but, it looks and smells delicious!!)

    No idea what was going on here. We've only eaten here one time before and it was mediocre so we…read moregave it another chance. Looked like the same staff. There were two people there that were waiting for food. Somebody who ordered a hamburger after us got theirs before we got our nachos. Nachos without meat. Okay you're talking about tortilla chips that you have to melt cheese on and throw some cut vegetables on. 45 minutes later still no nachos. Sorry, we went up there for the day and wanted a snack. These should be quicker than french fries But 45 minutes. Seriously? So we went up to the register and instead of giving us all of our money back she handed us $9 short. I don't know what was going on but we don't plan on going back. Normally I don't really get this critical and most of my reviews are great but this was horrible
