    Great place in Grand Rapids. Food, drinks and atmosphere are fantastic. Owners are very welcoming. Typically have live music on weekends.

    If your are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, this is it. The food takes me right back to the streets of Monterrey and Santiago.

    This is really good food. Even if it's not "fast" food that's what ok. It is the best in NWO. So you have got to try it.

    The restaurant itself is in a beautiful old building in downtown Grand Rapids, not fancy but very comfortable for hanging out with family and friends.

    Updating my review after yet another great experience…read more This is my regular lunch stop when traveling between Michigan and Indiana. Conveniently located just off the highway, definitely worth the short detour. Service is always fast, friendly, snd efficient. This restaurant is huge! But tall booths and separate rooms allow for an exceptional dining experience. Everything I have ever ordered here has been perfect. They do a nice job on takeout too. Highly recommend!

It was a…read morebusy Friday night, but the inside space is huge and even though there was a wait it did not take terribly long until we were seated and ordering. As per usual at most Mexican spots in the US, a dish of hot chips and fresh salsa arrived for us to much on. We also ordered one of our favorite go-to appetizers, a white cheese dip with jalapenos. It was exactly as we'd expected. For main dishes, my wife ordered the Seafood Mexicano Special served with fish and shrimp in a cheesy sauce along with Mexican rice. I ordered the Defiance Special consisting of a tamale, a couple of chicken flautas, chicken and ground beef nachos (topped with lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream) along with sides of rice and beans. It was a lot of food and it came out hot, fresh and fast. We filled our bellies and were off on our way to West Lafayette, IN.

    Great experience here! We were seated right away, and while there were other big groups there, we…read morehad no issue hearing each other. We started with margaritas of various flavors, and those came out super quickly, and everyone's drink was correct. The food also came out quickly. I got the steak quesadillas, and they did not skimp on the steak! It was super full and filling; I didn't even end up finishing my second one. The price was also pretty reasonable. Our server was very helpful. We saw a few people celebrating their birthdays, and the staff helped with the celebration. Seemed like a good place to have a birthday! Overall, the environment was clean and well decorated.

Corn chips and salsa were brought to us as soon as we were seated. The salsa was great! It had a little bite to it, not just the usual mild salsa. When you order, keep in mind the portions are large. I ordered the Chili Poblano's and two Tamales. The Poblano's came with rice and refried beans. The Poblano's also had seasoned ground beef on them. The flavors were great, probably now my favorite restaurant Poblano's . I had to bring the tamales home, they are huge! They tasted great the next day, they were covered, with chili beans, mole sauce and cheese. They tasted great! My wife had the Enchiladas Tapatias which she said was delicious! We will be going back to eat there again!
