My brother-in-law ordered the combo with mixed meats and seafood for one, and it was absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and more than enough food. I ordered the fajitas; they were good, but next time I'd skip those and go straight for the nachos and the tostadas, which looked outstanding. Before we even finished scanning the menu, the owner brought out food for the baby on the house, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. The drinks were excellent as well made and refreshing. Overall, great food, great service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for more of his amazing meals.

We found this Mexican restaurant in a small town near Middletown while searching on an app for…read moresomething different. From the outside, it looked like a place that has been around for many years. It's not falling apart, but it definitely feels a bit outdated and like it hasn't been updated in a long time. When we walked in, it was almost empty. There was only one waiter and just one table for four or five people seated. No one else was there, so at first I thought, "uh oh, this might not be good." Surprisingly, the food was actually very good. I ordered the steak fajitas, and compared to many Mexican restaurants, they were using real pieces of meat instead of the cheap cuts you sometimes get. The meat was tender and flavorful. My companion ordered another Mexican dish with the same type of beef, and it was also good. So on the food side, it was a pleasant surprise. The service was fine, but very quiet and a bit dull. The waiter didn't have much energy, almost like he was tired or not very engaged. The place itself also lacked atmosphere. The typical slow Mexican music was playing, nothing lively, and the restaurant just felt empty and without much energy. In the end, the food was good and the service was okay, but the overall vibe felt flat. It's the kind of place you're glad you tried once, but it doesn't really make you excited to come back.

The tamales came out as a tamale roll with the shredded beef on top. Okay I get it, gives the chef more flexibility to serve up pork, chicken, and beef tamales. It's was very good, just a bit odd it wasn't stuffed. But the taste was there and it was tasty and delicious! Then I had the Chayote. First time but definitely not the last! This was Mexican vegetables filled with corn, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and chayote topped with cheese. A chayote is a tasty squash that is a cross between zucchini and cucumber! It's very good and done nicely. All the ingredients are fresh. The guacamole was freshly made and delicious! As was there fresh chips and salsa. Great job. The employees were all very nice also.

Although I have my regular favorites I decided to try something off the brunch menu and I'm glad I did. I got the chilaquiles with green sauce and carne asada. It was very good. My only complaint was the steak wasn't cut up but that could be a personal preference. It tasted great. My husband got the breakfast torta with chorizo and really liked it.

The service was friendly and patient, and they did their best to keep up with our large party. I ordered the chilaquiles, and they were delicious -- the tortilla chips were perfectly soaked but still had a nice bite, the salsa was flavorful with just the right level of spice, and the eggs were cooked just right. The queso fresco and crema on top brought everything together beautifully. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that it took a while for all the food to come out (understandable with a group our size), and a few drink refills took some time. But overall, we were impressed with how well the staff managed everything. I'd definitely come back, especially for the chilaquiles
