New Mexican food is a genre all on its own, and should not really be compared to other styles of Mexican food, in my opinion. After looking over the menu and the specials, I ordered for my husband and I at the counter and was given a pager. I chose to have the stacked enchilada bowl and got the smothered enchilada with red sauce. I also ordered the Arlene sampler so we could try several of the appetizers. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to go back and try more!

That should have given me a clue as to the heat temperature! I couldn't finish my meal as it was too spicy for me. I know I don't tolerate heat very well, so just offering this as a warning to others that might be in the same boat. Luckily they offered sopapillas and honey for dessert. The sweetness of the honey helped to soothe the sting. This location is in a strip mall and they have done a very nice job of decorating it. It looks clean and well maintained. You will need to order at the counter and then they will bring your meal out to your table. It seems to make sense that you would offer meals for all people, even ones like me that cannot manage the spice. I have to give them a lower rating only due to the fact that I know I won't be able to go back since they don't have a non-spicy option for their meals.

It was bad enough that when my son's tacos came out, he could barely eat one and felt bad the rest of the evening. I did notify the waitress and I heard it being discussed by the bar. I'm sure it's a one time thing. My food was excellent and I got over the smell when the front entrance door closed. I don't know if the smell was coming from outside or the kitchen.

It's also very unassuming. It looks like a very small restaurant on the outside but once you are inside, you'll be shocked to see its good size dining area. This place is all about happiness. I mean seriously!! They care about their customers that get satisfied with their service and meals. And it does draw a very diverse crowd from the Hispanics to Caucasians to Asians, I mean you name it. They also get a lot of to-go orders. Some people came in, grabbed their food and went on their way for the night. My friend got the Torta Los Carboncito. This is a massive sandwich with plenty of meat inside. Since the menu has colored picofor almost each item, what caught my attention was the fish dish. There are two of them: one is trout and the other is something else (I forgot) but I got me the non-trout one. The lady asked me if I wanted the flour or corn tortillas so I went with the corn one. As soon as I got home, my late night snacking started. I only took several bites out of that whatever the huge fish. And oh my goodness, it was so delicious! Well-seasoned with very light salt. Although I mainly got it for tomorrow morning/lunch I had a hard time quit eating because of its deliciousness. Extremely welcoming staff (I even met the owner, Alex as he was dining with his family), quality food and value pricing, this place checks out for the hidden gem restaurant that's not necessarily super fancy but it's worth every penny and time. Yelping is so much fun. That is why I cannot quit my foodie-ness! What a nice discovery!

Service was equally impressive: warm, attentive, and polished without being overbearing. It felt genuinely welcoming, which only added to the charm of the whole experience. As if that weren't enough, our meal happened to cross the price threshold for a promotion, so we left with a complimentary half dozen tamales. A lovely little bonus that made an already satisfying lunch feel just a bit indulgent. All in all, an impressive find. Would I return? That would be an easy decision.
