This place is part of a strip mall off the side of the road. Next to a hardware store. Isnt that how all the best restaurant stories start? I would honestly give this place three and a half stars. The portions and the quality of the food are pretty good. It has a reputation of being the best Mexican food in town I certainly don't see the Mexicans in there eating the food to second that. However if you are looking for Extra large margherita in an extra large serving container this is the place for you. Nothing against large drinks served in a large glasses just not what I am looking for in a restaurant. The service is a little slow. Started off with two other tables in the place and we waited and we waited to be seated as the sign instructed. Then another table and another table. Eventually we were noticed and did get seated. Chips and salsa were provided we had enough time to eat the whole bowl before someone came back to take our order. The wait for the food seemed just as long. Every plate is served hot so be careful to not touch the plates. I guess they finished the meals in with the plates in the oven. It's a positive food experience maybe an even better drink experience. Just not the best in town

It was ok honestly nothing special. I think this place is more targeted to people who wanna get drinks not so much food. I got the chicken nachos and the chicken was really shredded very well like there were a lot of big chunks. I also feel like the chicken was kinda cold ish and bland. My dad thought his food was ok. So overall it's ok Mexican food but there are better out there

Chile Colorado burrito

Pretty good but I wish there was a bit more seasoning and time given to allow the sauces to thicken. I had the Chile Colorado burrito, which has delicious tender beef and nice red sauce. I expected it to be spicy but it was very mild and beefy. My friend had beef enchiladas and the sauce was pretty thin and mild. The beans were also on the thin side but the rice was good (traditional style). Churros are not home made (we were told) but my only issue was the lack of cinnamon and sugar. Still, everything tasted fine and service was great.

Never leave this place sober! This place is the best!!

I was looking for another place that would best or be equal to my favorite Ricky's Tacos. The…read moreflavor just didn't hit me until I got to the end of the burrito. I ordered a shredded pork (or what everyone knows as Carnitas) burrito. The burrito wasn't that oily and salty which was a plus and the tortilla seemed homemade. Not dry but edible until the last bite. I would have to say it was pretty good but not as good as my favorite. The lady at the counter was nice as well as the dude that brought out my burrito. The ceiling is adorned with piñatas and the place clean and inviting. I think I'll try their menudo on the weekends to see what that tastes like or consider a sit down next time I'm in town.

Not much ambience here but the food completely makes up for that... I had the cheesy tacos and they…read morewere amazing, they were on special for around $14. I ate two of them took two home... Heated them up two days later and they were even better than they were the first time. The hubby had the smothered burrito and I know it's a good burrito when he doesn't have to add more salsa, and he didn't he liked it just as it was. This place is not fancy, but the food is delicious and the price is decent. The service was great, very friendly and helpful.
