This guy lace is really really good!! The only thing that doesn't give it a 5 star is that it seemed like there were trying to rush us out our app came out the same time as the food, and once we were done and wanted to look at desert it seemed like not even 5 minutes later she's coming back rushing us on a choice for desert. It wasn't in a rude way though as a pregnant lady lol i just wana sit and enjoy my food, and i forsure need time to sit and process my meal. Still good service and great food! Just please slow down a bit and don't make people feel rushed to leave. And also the tops to our to go lids did not fit our server knew that and we HAD TO ASK for different lids and she said "oh we normally use foil sheets" so then why not bring the foil sheets out to us to use? And when we did order our desert we asked for the CARAMEL churros and she brings us it with Chocolate....when I asked for the caramel and not the chocolate she said "oh we don't have caramel, but it still says that on the menu" not even really an apology either to that. I did start out to give this a 4 start but due to the experience of feeling rushed, I'm giving it a 3 star. Food again was cooked so so well! Yea after careful consideration and not being the only one who noticed lol this place is kinda racist. It was VERY obvious how my mother in law and i were treated compared to the other customers. WE WILL NOT BE COKING BACK. read more

Excited to try the buffet, we ended up going today, a Sunday. The parking lot wasn't very full which was a first indication. There are different offerings in chaffing dishes but nothing cooked fresh. The three best things I'd say was the pozole, churro, and coconut jello. Beyond that, I don't have great things to say about the mini chimichangas, bacon, mole, chilaquiles, etc. The plates were dirty and wet. The cold food was set out without ice or refrigeration. Very "meh". El Torito is a better option for brunch buffet. read more

The Salsa was watered down The Mole was not the same Something is not the same with this restaurant. I will not be going back again. read more

Came in on a Saturday at 10pm and was told they were only doing Togo orders. That's weird since online they say they're open till midnight. It's OK though we didn't like this place that much we went to the piñata in Concord our favorite. ended up dining in their beautiful patio. read more

So the restaurant is actually pretty nice looking inside. The service was pretty good too to be honest. It took a very long time to get any drinks after we ordered them. The food was good portions, but a lot of of it was very greasy, and the shrimp we ordered that were supposed to be lightly breaded or heavily breaded and super overcooked. They had a pretty good deal for two people. I would probably try this again with maybe just my wife, but I don't know if I would bring a larger party there again. There was only seven of us. The tip was included in the bill. I'm glad we checked that. read more

The place is dirty, they need a major deep clean. The walls are dirty, the table and floor ia sticky. Plenty of staff but they seem disorganized. After sitting for 30 min, we decided to just leave. The server didn't even take our order even when I said I was ready. She came back with our waters and didn't come back to Take our food! Instead she was chatting with other table. Another family saw also left. Poor customer service ice and dirty dining area. Will not be back . read more

The food here is pretty good most days. You get a lot for what you pay for which is good because it is on the pricey side. When I order out my food tastes good 10/10 times and the only time my food wasn't the best was when I ate in the restaurant. read more

We wanted something local. Hadn't had Latin cuisine in a while so La Piñata it was. Excellent service, greeted with a smile and seated quickly. Chips n Salsa 4.8outta5 I liked it, chips could've used a dash more salt & a little more heat in the salsa would've been perfect. Good overall Mariscada/Grilled Seafood -Prawns, octopus, calamari, scallops, fish filet, green mussels, crab legs & clams served with fresh fruit, garlic & hot sauce. 3.8outta5 It was good but I didn't care for the presentation. The filet covered the plate causing the avocado to melt. I'd also prefer whole crab legs instead of the chopped pieces. Everything was cooked nicely. The garlic & hot sauces are always delicious. The chimichanga was a hit! It was thoroughly enjoyed. After a long week it was the perfect wind-down meal. Nice atmosphere, music just right & perfect margaritas! read more

It's been years since Ive eaten here, but grabbed lunch last Friday on a fluke. I ordered the lunch enchilada plate w/ black beans. Food was mediocre at best. I mean you can't really mess up a cheese enchilada..but the beans tasted like they were straight from the can and someone just added a bunch of salt and cumin...no bueno! Rice was a bit over cooked and mushy. I was only able to eat the enchilada..picked at the rest. Service was decent, no complaints there. The margaritas were the best thing! Needless to say me and my lunch date both had terrible bubble guts for the rest of the day/evening!! I won't be coming back to eat, but I'd grab drinks and something basic like chips and salsa here. read more

this amazing Mexican restaurant serves fine dine Mexican, and it has its its own small parking lot. it is best for inside dining, to get the whole vibe of this spot, but i also do takeouts all da time even though this review is specifically about my tacos, the whole meni is solid, from the burritos, to traditional mexican dishes, to its beer and alcohol selection. customer service is great all the way throughout as well read more

With all due respect if you don't know someone tha works here DONT GO. I got a shrimp burrito that was small enough to pick up and basically a bean burrito add shrimp Over Priced and the staff mainly speaks Spanish so do with that information what you may. My wife had lukewarm tacos with 3/4 or a hard shell pretty sure wasn't freshly made. $90 for 1/2 pitcher margarita 2 tacos and a burrito. Never again read more

Have eaten there several times and the food was good. However, the last couple of times the food was below par. Had menudo about a month ago and the flaver was not as good as previously. Went yesterday and ordered a tamale and chicken enchilada combo. The enchilada tasted like it was chicken rolled in a dry tortilla with some sauce just poured over it to warm it up. The tamale tasted like it came from Costco and was just warmed up with sauce just poured over it and the masa in places was hard. Very disappointed in the food. The service was okay. However, the person serving us had to be told every step of the way of what we needed and how we wanted to bring the leftover food home.( I did not finish my plate or take the food home.) read more

Cari is always an excellent server! Food is awesome. All the staff is great. It is our go to place for Mexican food.

40 minutes drive was well worth the brunch buffet. All the waitresses were attentive, everyone asked how our food was, if we needed more drinks, brought silverware and napkins. The brunch buffet was well stocked and everything tastes delicious. Place was busy for a Sunday but no wait to be seated. We didn't feel Rushed eating, buffet had enough options for everyone in our party of 9. Kids enjoyed the simple eggs and sausage. While the adults had everything else. Food had a little bit of spice but not too much to make it un enjoyable. Definitely coming again. The restaraunt was beautiful. read more

This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. We arrived about an hour before closing and were immediately made to feel like an inconvenience. It felt like the staff, specifically Mara R. didn't want to seat us, and once we were seated our server was rude, impatient, and constantly rushing us pushing us to order quickly, pressuring the table the entire time, and then making it clear they wanted us out as soon as possible. The food was decent but I've had better. The ambiance was trash. I understand restaurants winding down at the end of the night, but an hour before close is still operating hours. If a restaurant doesn't want customers during that time, update your hours or stop seating people--don't take it out on paying guests. The attitude and pressure were completely unprofessional and left us feeling unwelcome. Management should seriously address how guests are treated near closing, because this experience guarantees we won't be back and we won't be recommending this place. read more

Stopped here today for lunch. However, it was anything but! We ordered Pescado, it arrived very under cooked. Cesar Salad was dry, and looked like lettuce and carrots from a bag. Next we ordered the lunch special margaritas, they tasted like margarita mix with no alcohol. read more

We are not from the area, however we were near by and stopped for lunch, what a great choice, my wife and myself both love Mexican food, the food and service was great, we really enjoyed the booth and the atmosphere was very warm and welcoming, I ordered the Chili Rellenos, with flour tortillas, and my wife ordered a combination plate with a bowl of soup, everything was delicious, so much so I ordered another chili relleno dinner Togo, you see we live in Stockton so it's not like we can just drop by, however my and I agree that it is well worth the drive. read more

Came here for a Paint Nite event with Bindu which was really fun. Had the 2 item combo (Chicken enchilada and carne asada taco). Food was really good. The drink "llorona" was delicious. Our waitress was friendly and everything was brought out in a timely manner. Not sure why they don't seem to have good reviews. I didn't experience anything less than 4 stars! read more

It was a surprise birthday brunch celebration for one of our family members and we knew she would really like to come here. Plus, its easy to surprise her here when we are all inside and she walks up. Its perfect for that. We came for the Sunday brunch in particular. They have a buffet available with regular brunch items. I didn't choose this option. I'm sorry, I don't understand coming to an ethnic centric restaurant, such as Mexican food, and get the same old bacon and eggs you can get anywhere. The table got a starter of the Chicken Quesadilla. Its very good. Almost too much to start with but we loved it. I ordered the Chile Relleno with an enchilada and a chicken taco. I love Relleno's. I try to order them at every chance. I splurged and ate the rice and beans. Gawd, I love beans! For myself as a special treat I ordered a regular blended, virgin, margarita. According to the menu they use fresh ingredients in their margaritas. They have tons of options but I hadn't had the taste of a margarita in over 4 years. This was such a great drink. It was incredibly fresh. Well worth to order as a virgin cocktail just to have a great drink. I was incredibly impressed. It was so good. We had a great time with our large group. They can accommodate quite a few large groups. They take very good care of you here no matter how busy they are too. read more

A little disappointed with the service in general, the food is always pretty good however with prices as high as they are these day, the difference when selecting where to spend disposable income come down the the overall experience. It wasn't good enough for us to place this location on our future plans. Good service matters. Excellent service creates a repeatable customers. Just my take, others could have a much different experience. There are options. Take care. read more

Do not go here. There is las Panchita and the new Mecca with friendlier employees and staff who won't take advantage of you!!!!!! I ordered a spicy margarita. I asked if they could make it more spicy. I caught a thin girl with orange hair in a pony tail who was making silverware settings saying I was complaining the whole time. ??????? Then I got the bill and was charged for a higher grade tequila than what we asked for. I felt taken advantage of because I didn't speak Spanish. Then when the manager came, I tried to explain what happened. He kept walking away. When I touched his arm is what "triggered" him. I apologized then BEGGED him to listen to me. I didn't want this to happen to anyone else. This visit left a bad taste in my mouth and I will also tell everyone I know about this unfortunate visit while also asking them to tell my story and have their friends boycott as well. read more

Ordered DoorDash, and it was our first time getting top-shelf margs to go. I wasn't sure how it would be, but honestly, the bartender did us a solid. It hit the spot and was so refreshing to have on a hot day. It was the spotlight of our meal! The cheese enchilada was absolutely stuffed with cheese. Rice and beans were better than expected. The only thing is the taco was pretty soggy from the trip. Even though it was yummy, it just didn't stay crispy on the way. I haven't been to this place in years, and it was a nice treat to see that it's better than years ago. read more

I absolutely love this place - I usually come here for happy hour with my coworkers. Their happy hour menu is legit - I believe you get margaritas and appetizers half off. TBH I don't look at the paycheck because I'm usually having a great time with my coworkers. We've had our staff holiday parties here, reserving the space in the back and having a buffet style meal. They are very friendly, accommodating, and the food is pretty good! I've noticed a lot of teachers from different schools come here for happy hour - much needed after working with the kids all day haha but they are always great with large parties. I usually get their margaritas on happy hour. I've tried their nachos and guacamole just to snack on. Their buffet options are pretty good too - rice, beans, enchiladas, etc. I believe you can choose the menu for the buffet if you are planning on having a private event. Overall - Great place to hang with great snacks and drinks! read more

Terrible service and Terrible lay out of happy hour menu! Purchased what was suppose to be a 2 for 1 margarita during happy hour and ended up getting over charged & well paying regular price & a Hennessy shot is $25? We asked for separate checks, for a party of 3. She printed out what looked like a whole Costco reciept Couldn't give us a proper run down on what we were being charged for. Upon paying waitress Kept on swiping card back to back to the point of blocking the card had to call bank multiple times to unblock, at the end waitress mentioned that the debit machine wasn't working properly she could've addressed that before having me swipe that card back to back to avoid problems. Super embarrassing people were gonna think I couldn't afford my meal. Never going back again!!!!! Terrible terrible read more

Went here for Mother's Day. I'll start off with the positive. The service was great. Our waitress and the bus person were very attentive to everything. No complaints there. The food, however, left a lot to be desired. It was okay at best. Not a lot of flavor. The Mole tastes store bought. The tacos came with store bought shells. The appetizer platter was not great either and tastes like the oil needs to be changed out. I'll never understand how a Mexican restaurant refuses to fry their own taco shells. Before I forget, their Sangria was not great either. The ambiance was great. Beautiful place, a bit noisy, but the decor is beautiful. Overall, though, I won't be going back until they make the mole in house and make real taco shells. read more

Yes Verde Chilaquilles with asada and rice and beans. Dad ordered the same and we were both pleased. We asked for asada to be diced. Waitress was nice and we were seated right away.

This is a great place for appetizers and drinks. There isn't much of a discount for happy hour. So you won't be getting too happy. The drinks are good they have booze in them and don't taste like straight juice. Nothing really special about this place stands out. I recommend not ordering the bean dip. I like the fact that it's close. read more
