    The burrito was humongous and delicious!
    Dana G.

    Amazing food! Amazing service!!! The shrimp enchiladas and the Birria tacos are amazing!!! They were so good we came back the next day .

    Ranchero salad with chicken, hold the cheese

    This is a solid place to go for Mexican lunch or dinner. The parking lot is a little tight and seems to always be full. Inside is spacious, comfortable with festive decor. You can count on good service, good food and hearty servings. The complimentary after meal "popper" (7-up w/splash of tequila) is a nice touch.

    If a restaurant serves molcajete, you get the molcajete. No exceptions here. Lots of flavor and plenty of food to make 5 tacos. Pineapple, Cactus and Jalapeño oh my.

    Jalapeño Margarita

    The environment was pleasant. Murals on the walls of authentic Mexican scenery. The fresh Tortilla, keso, salsa and bean dip are amazing. The Spicy Jalapeño Margarita is to die for

    The bar with its own entrance  is mostly separated from the restaurant.

    I was considering a light lunch but ended up with much more. The Chicken Tortilla bowl of soup was a meal in itself with plenty of chicken, tortilla strips, cheese and some vegetables . I order as a side the small chicken enchilada. It wasn't small and came in a puddle of melted cheeses, coleslaw and was stuffed with shredded chicken. In addition, I was given chips, a watery salsa and a small bowl of refried beans with a garnish. Seeing a spoon in the salsa it finally occurred to me that the salsa there to add flavoring for the beans. Ice tea came in a quart jar. All the food was very good. The service was good and the restaurant interior is nicely decorated with booths for privacy.

    We've been going to this restaurant since before the pandemic, always find time to stop by here on the way back to California. Good food with huge servings, good service. The ambiance is laid back, pretty crowded on Sundays especially during lunch. We miss the free queso dip but you can still buy some from the menu. We also visited them during the pandemic, they were doing to go orders and did pretty well to handle that challenge. Sometimes we also just do takeouts if we're in a rush. The to go food trays are so large, you'd think it's for catering a group of people. Solid place and worth a quick detour from the freeway. Hope they stick around for a long time and keep their food quality great.

    We came in on the day of the World Cup final with a fairly large group, (at the Columbus location)…read moreand everyone arrived at different times, which could have easily made things chaotic. Claudia, our waitress, handled it all with incredible professionalism. She was attentive, efficient, and always one step ahead. Despite juggling our table while also keeping up with the rest of the restaurant-including making drinks-she never once seemed flustered, overwhelmed, or impatient. She kept everything flowing smoothly and made sure every person in our group felt taken care of. It's rare to see someone maintain such a positive attitude and high level of service under pressure. If we return to this restaurant, I'll definitely be hoping she's our server again. She made a lasting impression, and she deserves every bit of recognition for the excellent job she does.

    What the HELL happened to Comal? The food is so BLAND.... Ordered a Chile Relleno and it was…read moreAWEFUL. It was microwaved for sure, you can till it was fried then reheated in microwave and sauce poured over it. The skirt steak for the fajitas had no flavor no spice no heat. I get that you want to cater to your customers but you losing the word "authentic". Christmas is over having Christmas ornaments up is not a good look. Service is not desirable no water offered, no 2nd offer on our drinks till after our terrible dinner. Yeah this is a place that has gone hill in my opinion. Where they get the 4.0 stars from is bewildering. There are so many other Mexican Restaurants out there. Mmmmm we won't be back anytime soon
