    Fly found in the chicken.
    Thomas D.

    The food was good until my wife found a large fly in the piece she was about to eat. The waitress was not surprised or apologetic. Apparently the manager couldn't be bothered to talk to us about it. They offered us a 10% discount on her item, which was $.90. We will never dine here again. My advice: go to El Caporal in Canon City instead.

    He was hungry so we drove by the main drag and he decided on this place. The decor screams 'Fiesta!' and js definitely a blast of color. Nice parking lot and a patio area. The tv had a Mexican rodeo on which was interesting. The servers were friendly and professional. Chips and salsa brought out. The salsa was more puréed than I'm used to and had a bite to it. He really liked it. I decided on the Chile relleno with beans and rice. He chose the colorado burrito which is chopped steak cooked in a red sauce and then rolled and smothered in cheese and red burrito salsa. The Chile relleno is different that what is served in Denver. There was a thin coating of egg over the Chile and then the cheese. It tasted good. The Chile was spicy which I appreciated. The rice was also nice and moist while the beans were tasty. I usually don't eat the beans as sometimes they have an after taste to them. But these I liked. He inhaled the burrito and sides. So I guess he liked them. A different experience and because I don't know what authentic Mexican tastes like I can't say if it's authentic but it was very good even if it's different from what I'm used to.

    The food here is absolutely excellent! We tried a "make your own" platter which included a chimichanga, an Alazan burrito, and a chicken enchilada. We also ordered the shrimp enchiladas which came with rice and refried beans. Both of us cleaned our plates. Every last bit of food went down the hatch. We also ordered two jumbo margaritas - one regular on the rocks with salt and one strawberry frozen. Both were very very good (although the alcohol content was average). Last but not least, the salsa is amazing! Eat here, eat here, eat here!

    A huge, tasty margarita for an incredible price at lunch. Food was good although I wasn't a huge fan of their salsa. Very pretty decor.

However, I read there one star reviews for the first time today. I get it, one time, I had an odd experience, we don't eat pork, once we ordered a pizza and it came with pork. It was kinda odd to mention it, to the server. They didn't offer to remake one. It wasn't the only thing we ordered. We had drinks and ordered extra pizzas as usual, so we could have leftovers (their cold pizza is awesome if ya can't reheat). Needless to say you would think they would offer to remake the one pizza they messed up on by making it the way the pizza was listed on there menu but to be made with our request to omit pork... right? No. They didn't offer. It was a little strange, I get it. Here is the thing... they are a small buisness. I read a few one star reviews that Tom ( the owner) responded to and offered replacement items and apologized. Good on you Tom! He even owned the one where he was the cook that particular night and was " the cook" that made the blunder! Tom... Well played! You ate that and that's ok. Why? Because your a little small town restaurant. You're not corporate, you're a business that is thriving and making a go of it in Florence Colorado! Good on ya! Keep it up! Make a mistake once in awhile, have your servers not know how to Handel it. Why don't they know how to handle it? Because it doesn't happen often that's why. So if ya want it remade, maybe ask to have it remade. Why? Because I'm sure if ya leave a one star review (and it is legit), Tom will offer you a free (whatever was messed up item anyway). So, just ask. Don't leave a crap review for one of the few small town businesses that are hitting home runs at 4.3 out if 5 stars. These guys are the dwindling few who try, but mess up occasionally. Not that often (or they would be plagued with one star reviews.) keep it up Tom. 5 stars as you deserve.

We got seated fast (party of 2), our waiter was attentive & kind, but the food was just okay. I ordered a #23 which was a chimichanga & chile relleno. They upcharged me for an "authentic" chile relleno, but it had been reheated, so it was super greasy & it didn't come with any green chile. I always order chile rellenos when we have Mexican food-I even make them myself-but they have always come smothered in green chile...maybe that's the "authentic" way-I'm not sure. My hubby got a combo with a chile relleno, a taco and an enchilada. He said I make better-and I don't think it was an empty compliment ;) Overall, it's a decent place. Pretty overpriced from what we are used to, and I have to believe there is better Mexican food to be had in this cute little town.

I think we ordered literally everything on the menu, and to a person we liked what we received. One of the few places that makes a really good Horchata drink, so if you like those order one. It wasn't that lively in there, but it was a Wed so not a big night out for most people. Their steak meals were a clear standout - everyone liked everything, but those got raves. Also, bacon-wrapped shrimp were great - good sized and grilled so they still had a snap to them. The downsides: it took a long time for food to come out, although some of that probably can be attributed to us being a big group. That said, several waited for, and eventually had to ask for, the tortillas that went with their meals. Our servers spoke little english, so sometimes communications were difficult, but ALWAYS friendly. I would definitely go back.
