There is a Service- service at the door. But from there, it was hit or miss. No one asked to refill a glass or add ice. Had to run one of the servers down for ketchup while he sat at the front door. Food- i wasn't sure what to order so i went with the Meatballs. And that was an excellent choice. The beef tasted fresh and tender. The red sauce and cheese paired well. It also came with garlic bread. I made it through three of the five meat balls and was stuffed. The Flan and ice cream came with the meal. I had a little one with me and she got the chicken tenders and fries. The chicken did not taste manufactured. Definitely rib meat (breast meat). Crispy, crunchy and delicious. Fries were on point too. I was happy to see the meal was served with fruit. Soup and garlic bread is served.. please don't ask for salsa and chips, wrong place. Pink Lemonade was a perfect mix between sweet and tart. Overall, I recommend this little space of Spain. Not for my service experience, but for the food.

The inside of the restaurant is cute and reminds me of being in Mexico they have the round seats made with real leather so they are comfortable. When I was in here the last time I happened to run into some customers that were being really rude and asking if the food is good to the staff and the lady working said I think the food is good, but everybody has their own opinion on how they like their food and these rude customers laughed in her face and continue to be rude and ignorant the people that work here are hard workers that put Love into their food. They don't deserve to be treated this way I hope more people come to this place because it's truly a hidden gem and be nice to the staff, please they are sweethearts trying to provide you with good food 10/10 would recommend to anyone I know. I am Mexican and this place makes great authentic Mexican food for those who care about that.

I like this spot because it is one of the few in the area open late. I've been here multiple times…read more You are able to eat in and they do serve beer or margaritas if you do. I usually get the steak tacos. They are always flavorful but they charge for steak and it's not steak. It's more likely a roast beef shredded. Today I will say I tried their Chile rellano taco, which is $8 by the way. There was no cheese inside and it tasted burnt..it had no flavor. I can say although I like their "steak" tacos I gave a 3 because it's not steak and they charge extra for flour tortillas. The restaurant is on the expensive side, but late night you pay for convenience. I guess. There's usually an older lady or man in there working. I've never had an issue with service but I have read reviews and now that I think of it I have to ask for a receipt because I never get a detailed one.

If it were open late, I would probably come way more often. Since they are closed Monday and Tuesday, and they close at 3pm Wednesday, Thursday, & Sunday, I'll likely only make it in on a Friday or Saturday when they are open till 6pm. What I had: Soup of the day: Spicy chicken and hominy 5/5 this was so flavorful! Drink: Cali Sunrise - I asked for it to be made hot (usually it's cold) 5/5 this tasted like a nonalcoholic mulled wine/hot toddy. It is perfect for winter. The gentleman who made it said he tested it and might make it a winter drink menu item. My partner had the burger of the day: Burger patty made with lean beef and ground bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, mustard, and pumpkin aoli (but be asked for it without the aoli). This came with chips. 4+/5 he loved this. He said it's the perfect size portion. To go: Chocolate chip cookie 4+/5 I heated this up in the over for 5 minutes and it came out perfectly warm and gooey. I highly recommend you try this They have ice cream, but it defrosted accidentally over night, so we will try that another time. We came in a rainy Saturday around 15:30 and there was a spot right out front. There was also live music, which in my opinion was a nice touch, but perhaps a bit too loud. My partner couldn't hear anything the guy behind the counter said. They sell local artisan jewelry. The decor is super cute. They had the windows dressed for Dia De Los Muertos and Halloween. Wonderful place. Will be back!

A Hidden Gem with Delicious Food and Wonderful Service!…read more We stopped in simply because the exterior of the restaurant caught our attention, and we are so glad we did! When we arrived, our server let us know that he was the only one working the dining room. Naturally, we were a little concerned about the kind of service we might receive. However, he quickly put those worries to rest! He was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Now, let's talk about the FOOD! My daughter ordered rice and flautas, my husband had the red enchiladas, and I enjoyed the chicken fajitas. Everything was absolutely delicious! One thing I especially appreciate about authentic Mexican food is the care and attention given to the entire plate--not just the main dish. Rice and beans should have just as much flavor and love put into them as the entrée itself. Too often, side dishes feel like an afterthought, but that is certainly not the case here. Every bite was flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and delicious! This restaurant truly delivers on both food and hospitality. What started as a spontaneous stop turned into a wonderful family dining experience. We will absolutely be back!

The menu offers plenty of options, and while the food was okay, it was a bit bland for my taste. My boyfriend, however, really enjoyed the carne asada. The drinks were definitely the highlight of our visit and are reason enough to come back. I'd recommend this spot to anyone looking for a fun place with great drinks, a welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service.

I placed a catering order for my job for over 100 people, and let me tell you, it was not cheap! First, the food arrived late. On top of that, they failed to provide silverware, plates, napkins, and even the buns that were supposed to come with the order. We ordered brisket, smoked chicken (which was supposed to be cut up but arrived whole), macaroni and cheese, baked beans, and cornbread. To make matters worse, everything arrived cold, as if it had been sitting out for hours. Then, when I reviewed my receipt, I noticed an additional charge of $78. I called to ask about it and was told that they charge a 3% fee on all orders, even when paying by check. My question is: Why aren't customers informed about this fee upfront? When I expressed my concern, the only response I received was an apology. No explanation, no effort to make things right, and no real concern for the inconvenience. This was my second year using their catering services, and unfortunately, the experience this year was absolutely awful. After spending that kind of money to feed over 100 people, I expected much better service, accurate fulfillment of my order, and hot food delivered on time. Needless to say, we will NEVER be ordering from them again. I would strongly encourage anyone considering their catering services to think twice before placing an order.
