    I will start this as I always do by saying I do not give out five stars unless I am really blown away. I was passing through and found this little place. Great spot for lunch. Price was good. Food was excellent. The ambience was nice. I like the brick walls and adding in the Mexican vibe to it. They serve chips and salsa before the meal and they were delicious. I could've just taken another bowl of chips and salsa and that could've been my lunch but I ordered number six. Got a burrito and chicken taco with some rice. It was delicious services really good waiter came and checked on me often super friendly. Next time I'm passing through I will be stopping in. I suggest you do the same.

    Great food, quick service. Delicious steak fajita salad( steak) but quite small portion. Guac and chips excellent. Friendly, quick, cool decor. Would recommend- visit.

    Very cute, quick spot for lunch. Nicely decorated inside and extremely friendly staff. Chips and salsa before the meal were delicious (chips were even slightly warmed!) but the food itself was slightly bland. Have only been once though and would try them again if in the area in the future.

    We love coming here. The staff is friendly and the inside is so nicely decorated. The food always tastes fresh and things come out quickly. We always get the chimichangas so I can't speak to anything else, but they never disappoint.

    Chicken Enchiladas, Refried beans, rice

    Enjoyed a wonderful meal of chicken enchiladas. The restaurant was busy, but the service was excellent. The wait staff understood gluten-free and informed me which sauces are safe for gluten allergies (celiac). Very reasonable prices for excellent food.

    Mole Enchiladas-mole sauce was great

    Great food and quick service. The waiter was great. We needed a few minutes to look at the menu and it was worth it. Food was fresh and delicious.

    Had soft tacos, an adult beverage, flan and churros. We enjoyed the chips and salsa they brought out at the beginning of the meal. 3 tacos came with refried beans and rice. All tasty. The flan was really good and creamy.

    Gorgeous hand painted booths!

    Hands down my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant in Upstate NY! I stumbled on El Bajio on my way home from being out west and I'm so glad I did! The booths have gorgeous carved and painted with Dia de Los Muertos scenes, the service was wonderful and fast! The food was absolutely incredible! I highly recommend chile relleno and tamales for starters. I can't not get a chimichanga when it's offered, and they're absolutely worth trying! They have a few beers to choose from and an extensive margarita list as well! I highly recommend checking out El Bajio if you haven't yet, it's definitely worth the drive to Seneca Falls if you're not in the immediate area!

    Awesome guacamole.
    Chris C.

    Best guacamole I've had in quite awhile. Good quick Mexican food lunch on the road. Would definitely come back in the future to try the more authentic tacos (just had a speedy gonzales) to hopefully bring that to a 5 star. Worth a visit.

    Tacos de tilapia

    Tried the food here since they have gluten free options. The food was very good. The service was very friendly and the restaurant is decorated very beautifully. My rice was a little under cooked but that's my only complaint!

    Great value and easy parking. Their food is tasty and I can taste the extra work they put into something simple like bean purée.

    We are reading some pretty bad reviews here and can't believe these people are talking about the…read moresame place we ate dinner last night after a day of tourism in Seneca Falls. Our experience was: attentive service, EXCELLENT appropriately-sized entrees (seafood risotto, pulled pork mac&cheese, EXCELLENT dessert (peanut butter chocolate-crust pie). Our waiter was polite and attentive. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. And clean! We highly recommend Flynt & Stave.

While the ambience appears nice, whoever washes the restaurant floor does so in a manner that leaves you sticking to the floor across the entire dining room. We were seated immediately with only a couple of other diners at tables, so there was very little activity when we arrived. We were given the opportunity to order drinks and food at the same time, and did so. At around 6:20, we had received drinks, but nothing else. No other attention was paid to us by our waiter. I did notice, however, that our waiter was engaged in a significant conversation with folks at the bar. When I went up to the bar to inquire as to our status, we saw clear evidence that our food order had never been put into the system and directed to the kitchen. I asked specifically if that was the case, and I was assured that didn't happen. Yet we didn't receive our food until 6:50, and it came out one meal at a time. The food at this restaurant is rather pricey, and if the food quality had been high, I would not have complained. But the food was lousy. It's about the only way I can describe it. Of the four meals ordered, only one was satisfactory. Brussel sprouts appetizer however was fairly good. The waiter used a momentary power glitch during a rain storm as the excuse for our order not getting to the kitchen, but the facts of the situation told a very different story. Not being told the truth when I made a direct request as to why our food was delayed, is flat out Unacceptable. I cannot recommend this restaurant under any circumstances. They've been in business under this name for two years, which is plenty of time to get their act together. They simply need to do much better or they won't survive.

    Long review! Ok,…read moredrinks were perfect. The house white chard I would def recommend. Wings: 10/10 crispy how they should be and it's a true mild, not spicy st all. Pulled pork sandwich: I love the vinegar base that didn't overpower but complicated the sauce. The sauce did not overpower anything. They gave the perfect amount of sauce. We opted to put the coleslaw on the side. Coleslaw: perfect amount seasoning and sweet and tart. Po boy sandwich: the seasoning was delicious. The spice crept up but on in a very slow building way that was enjoyable. My only issue, and it's why we couldn't give a 5 star in the Food category, the shrimp was a little too salty. But because of the base seasoning, we ate the shrimp anyway (its base seasoning is so so good!!!).The roll was a white French roll, not toasted which I didn't mind at all. The All American Classic cheeseburger: He requested medium well, and the burger was cooked exactly as requested. So no worries if you prefer a medium burger. The veggies were fresh and condiments on the burger was the perfect amount. Friendly staff. The gentleman who greeted us could tell we weren't sure where to sit, pointed us for two options of seating. The young lady who helped us towards the end was friendly and attentive, but not over attentive where it makes you feel weird. When we left, everyone said goodbye! I've never had that happen and it was such a pleasant surprise! Overall: if you come thru the area (my military peeps you know you looking for an area to visit!), stop here. Great people, yummy food, and friendly people who couldn't be more welcoming. OH ! The TV we're playing spots (of course it's a pub!) but one tv was playing Wonder Woman 2. I really appreciated having something else to watch. So did my daughter.
