Daniel Hurtado (I asked this man for his name as we left) was our waiter, he was so attentive to all of us even the children. He went above and beyond. The food was absolutely delicious! They had a menu that had anything and everything you'd ever want to eat. Everyone there was very nice, including the other patrons who were there eating. One woman got up and asked if she could take pictures of all of us so I was included. (I was taking pictures) she came over said "let me take them so you're in the pictures as well. It was a very nice warm and inviting place to eat and we'll NEVER FORGET Daniel!

I picked Tostadas (2x) with shrimp and pulpo (octopus). They were fresh and delicious. The chips and salsa are also great. The waiter told us that they have a Salsa Bar and that was awesome! Love the mango salsa. They should promote this special trick right after they serve the chips and salsa. I love this place!

They had a large variety of salsas which I was eager to try. My goto is usually the salsa verde and they had the traditional and avocado version. Upon the first bite of the salsa verde, I was caught off guard because it was so salty. When the server came over and took our order, I felt the need to let him know because it was not edible (IMO) but my husband also agreed. They kindly took the feedback and shortly after I saw some staff go over to the salsa bar and took it away. They actually ended up changing or fixing it and it was so much better! Hubby's tacos were awesome, super flavorful meats. My pork carnita dish was absolutely delicious! Packed with flavor, the rice was addicting and it was a great combination. The service was great as well so we look forward to coming back!

We have our favorite go to restaurants but we decided to try a new place & we are glad we did! Ramon greeted us & he was very friendly & provided great service! Inside is huge & very clean! My husband had the California Burrito Bowl & he loved it; the steak was very tender and seasoned well! I had the steak fajitas, the portion size was huge and the dish was packed with flavor! We cook Mexican dishes a lot at home & normally when we eat out at a Mexican restaurant, it lacks enough seasoning, but not here!! We will definitely be back! Bonus: I had enough leftovers to feed us both the next day for lunch! :)

Great looking on the inside for a little bar and grill type vibe. They have a buffet... which I'm unfamiliar with in Mexican restaurants in our area. So this was really cool. The menu... guys, when I tell you they have a menu, they have a big Ass Menu! It's huge! Their pics in the menu actually look exactly like the food they serve you. We've ate there twice in the last week, both times we had wonderful service by a fella. He is super pleasant and on IT! He got our orders right both times. The first visit was just my husband and I and he orders more authentic Mexican food. The second visit was us and our 3 boys. Wow, were they impressed! The salsa bar is a big fave for us, too! Not to mention the BEST D. Coke in the world. Idk what it is about their soda, but it's the best I've had. I had tostones the second visit topped with shredded chicken and guacamole! Probably the best guac I've had. These are a spin on tostones I've never seen. We thoroughly enjoyed them. This was an appetizer. I ate one as a meal, that's how big this serving is (see pics)! My husband had the birria quesadilla. He raved over it and is a big birria fan!!! Highly recommend this restaurant. You will be coming back for more, like we did! Pros: great service, great atmosphere (a million TVs playing all the games, beautiful setting- renovated, great food, great soda, they have really big portions, great prices. There aren't really any cons. We were satisfied in every aspect with our visits.

Definitely worth a visit if you're in Pendleton.

Several of us ordered them custom made. Everyone enjoyed them. Well prepared. The chips were crispy. They brought a warm bean dip with was great. They also have a salsa bar in the back with quite a variety of salsas to fit any taste... the spicy pineapple salsa was tops on my list. We had beer, wine, margaritas... across the four of us. Everyone liked what they got. The wine menu is basic, they have a bar so whatever you want is available, they had a nice selection of beer appropriate for the Mexican theme. We will definitely be coming back. Oh, we got there at 5 and were the second table occupied in the place. By 5:30 the place was full. So, on a Friday night be aware that the place is popular.
