cute table tops like the 1940s
Roxanne H.

Ok-be HUNGRY when eat here cause they serve your dinner on a platter-not a plate! Huge servings of really good food. I was a little sus cause it's a very small town but pleasantly surprised! The service was very good, dealt kindly with my food issues and I loved the atmosphere. Very homey and you felt like you stepped into Mazatlan. Would definitely give this place a visit!

The asada tacos are delicious, the right amount of meat, onions and cilantro to savor every bite. Chips and salsa are the bomb too. The bowl with cabbage in it was nothing I've before, but was really good with a chip. The green sauce was a great addition to the tacos as well. Little spicy, but not overpowering by any means. Our second visit, definitely stop by if you're in the area.

Guacamole dip

Delicious. Stumbled onto this place while driving on the hwy - parachute, co. The food was amazing and the dragon margarita was a "small" but HUGE!! The serving sizes of food, per plate, could definitely be a shareable.

Mexican Molcajete
Megan B.

Driving by we saw the parking lot full so we decided it was worth a visit. Lots of seating and a large menu. Prices are very reasonable for the quantity of food. We typically order the Molcajete if we see it on the menu. We were not disappointed, easily fed 3 of us. Very cheesy and delicious - highly recommend!

Street tacos

Walk in and seated right away, Benito took are drink order and left us look over the menu and they have a variety of Mexican food. We had chips, Salsa and a cabbage mix to go eat. We finally made a decision my husband got the Chicken Mole Enchiladas with beans and rice. Since it was Taco Tuesday I went with the street tacos 2 Asada, 2 Carnitas and 1 Abodabba Taco. Boy this place does not disappoint everything was fresh and delicious, man that mole sauce I would come back every day to have it! They had Mexican music playing and a full bar too. The decor was so cool, this is a must if you are in the area. We are from SoCal and can get Mexican everywhere but I wish this place was near my house I would came by all the time.

Shrimp tacos simply the best. Second choice chili verde plate Totally yummy

We dined here on the recommendation of our daughter Allison. Good call Princess. It looks like a small place but it isn't. Another place that doesn't look like much on the outside but don't let that stop you. We skipped starters and enjoyed the crispy chips and tasty salsa that had a nice touch of heat on the back side. Then we ordered the carne asada taco plate and shrimp ala mojo y ajo. Everything was perfectly seasoned and arrived nice and hot. Service was very good. Recommend and would return.

Johnny Enchilada's with tomatilla sauce (chicken)

Surprises you as from the outside it looks like an average mexican restaurant, but it was truly delicious and priced fairly. Our service was above average as well. We had three different dishes, from the combo 2 plate which had a pork tamale smothered in pork green chili and a cheese enchilada, to a Carne Asada Taco with a grilled chicken taco (taco's al carbon), and finally enchiladas verde plate. All were so tasty, but the salsa's steal the show. We especially enjoyed the habanero salsa (hot and spicy) in addition to the standard salsa they bring to the table initially. This is definitely a place we will return to on our next trip to Grand Junction. The restaurant is clean, service was wonderful and the food is truly tasty. Come with no hesitation.

The awesome super margarita and our guacamole appetizer!

See all
