    Chicken Enchilada with red sauce
    Erin P.

    It's been a minute since we were here last. Lala was still her lovely, sweet, sassy, self--running the floor even with a bum knee and the food, as always, completely on point.

    The food is good, family Mexican-American. What makes this place great is the woman who served me, maybe she's the owner. She is so sincerely sweet, just what I needed. Feel like I had lunch with the family I wish I had. Don't call it "guac."

    Steak taco plate
    Lacrisha L.

    Last month I met with a friend here for lunch. It was in her neck of the woods and wanted to try a new place to eat at. It's a not big place and with Covid restrictions still in place, there were a few booths & tables to eat at which I didn't mind. We were greeted with a friendly hostess and put our drink order in right away while I looked over the menu. We were also provided with a bag of chips and salsa as well. I'm sure these are usually presented in a basket but again with everything going on at this time I had no problem with it and totally understood. I decided to go with the steak taco plate with no onions, light cilantro, cheese on flour tortillas with a side cream and of course with rice and beans. I liked the fact that you were able to get steak and the price was still the same as getting al pastor, chicken, etc. The tacos were decent with a little bit of the hot salsa my friend requested for, but the steak was a little over seasoned to me. The beans were warm and could've been a little warmer because it wasn't long before they ended up being cold. I will say the margaritas were delicious and our waiter was super friendly just like the hostess. I thought it was a little nice surprise when me and my friend received a shot of tequila and orange slice at the end of our meal after we asked for the check. I would give it another try and maybe go with chicken tacos or maybe a chimichanga but hopefully the beans will be a little warmer the next time around.

    My buddy was talking about getting lunch in his neighborhood and I talked him into trying a new place so we meet here, I like this place and I hoped he would like it even if it was not Botanas II his place, I like them both. We were seated promptly, seat your self and chips/salsa were on the table quickly. Two salsas were on the table, one watery and one chunky with thin crisp chips. The chunky salsa was our favorite, mild we were told but it had a little kick to it that I liked. Once again the measly 4 combo dishes didn't appeal to me the second time around so I did an al a carte plate again which worked well. I had the strawberry margarita on the rocks this time and it was ok but not one of the better ones. The service is always great with the lady greeting every table to see how we are doing. I ordered the Al Pastor chimichanga, I love the tasty Al Pastor with a ground beef enchilada/red sauce with rice/beans. The plate was served hot and looked great once again. My Al Pastor chimichanga was tasty with generous pork and cheese, I just like the Al Pastor here. The ground beef enchilada in a corn tortilla with red sauce topped with cheese was meaty also and good. The beans were good also topped with cheese. The rice was nicely cooked and I poured the chunky salsa on top and mixed the beans into the. I really like how the meals are hot and that they don't skimp on meat or cheese because it's a tasty/meaty cheesy dish that gets me in the door. The prices are Very reasonable because two meals with two margaritas and one lg soda was $27 for lunch which is not bad. The Al Pastor will get me back again in another build my combo plate.

    check & a treat (read -- tequila shots )

    fantastic authentic Mexican food, with a classic authentic Mexican food ambiance. family run place that always has awesome service. obsessed with their choriqueso (a huge portion of queso with chorizo served with tortillas). have had their tacos, loaded steak burrito & fajitas (fajitas may be my favorite because they're seasoned incredibly). we always order a half pitcher of margs for the two of us to split (pitcher has no ice when poured, so it's a healthy portion). bonus -- when you leave, they give you a shot of tequila.

    Mole! Yes!!!

    In love! You name it, it was fabulous and authentic. The owner takes your order and calls everyone honey bun. Two salsa served and both were great. The guacamole was phenomenal. It had great flavor and had chunks! I always order mole and it is rarely good. This was amazing. The piece of chicken was huge. Rice and beans have actual flavor and probably the very best I have had in the US. I wish I lived here.

This last time dining in, the food was the best we've had it. We ordered Mexican taco dinner and Tacos Al pastor. The steak was cooked very nicely and the salsa was really, really good! Carry out service is good, but dining service is above and beyond. Every server we've had has been fantastic, especially the woman who served us this last time on the back patio. We were the only ones back there, and she was still timely and lovely.

This is an enchilada with a red sauce. I was originally looking at the Camarones A La Diabla but decided to take what I thought would be a safer bet. The sauce had that sort of chili bitterness that I get when I make homemade chili sauce with dried chilis and keep the soaking water instead of throwing it out. The flavor was just unpleasant. I pulled some pieces of chicken out of the enchiladas and there was little sauce in the enchiladas and the chicken was just straight boiled chicken. Bland. There was very little good about the food. Bad sauce, bland chicken. The rice was perfectly fine but the beans were a little less than average. So that's it. I'm outside a large city and I've really been struggling to find good food.

They were able to seat us immediately. That being said, we could see the hostess counter from where we were sitting and by 5:20 a substantial line was forming. There was also a lot of carry-out going on. I suspect that if you go on a weekend, you should expect a wait. Our server came quickly to take our food and drink order. She brought out chips and salsa. The chips were good though I found the salsa a little bit watery. We both had lime margaritas which were also tasty. After that we didn't see much of our server, but a different server brought out our food and a third server picked up our check. I had the carne asada. Everything was very tasty except the rice which I found really salty on its own. But mixed with beans and meat in a corn tortilla then it was very good. My partner had a ceviche. It thought it was OK, but he makes a ceviche at home which he mentioned was better. Although I wouldn't make a special trip just to eat here, if we need to go back to the airport, I'd be fine dining here again.
