First and foremost: We called ahead to make sure our party of 15 to potentially 19 could be…read moreaccommodated, which we were advised could be but no reservations could be taken and to simply show up and they'd work from there. Arrival plus hostess: we arrived at the restaurant and immediately the younger looking, maybe Latina hostess, was unpleasant. We had not asked to be seated as we wanted to wait for the rest of our family with some being local residents to my family (from Sand Diego, California) and 2 sister-in-laws coming from Pennsylvania. It wasn't too long when an older gentleman, with glasses, came around took over, was extremely nice, and told us we could be seated confirming our party size. Server: The gentleman who take our order was friendly, prompt, and made no error in any order; my youngest was impressed at how he remembered who ordered what when he begun to bring out the meals. Food: Now this is where I know I can form an opinion. For one I'm Mexican who has lived in San Diego, California all her life (almost 49 yrs), and still do, with frequent visits to Mexico growing up. I also cook and may my own Mexican food, from scratch, to include homemade corn and flour tortillas by hand. I also do not use nor know anyone that uses nacho cheese on their food. What we do use is cotija, queso fresco, and Oaxaca cheese to name a few. I ordered the combination plate with a chicken enchilada and tamale. The plate was palatable but did not win me over. The chicken has zero flavor, zero seasoning, and per my assumption was boiled in water which is honestly an odd way to cook chicken. The tamale was dry and the beans and rice where passable. Looking at the menu I thought I'd be safe ordering that but as my eldest daughter said "mom, this is a 3 star out of 10 - non Yelp stars!" My husband and son both were not wowed by their plates either. When you have a true homemade and quality restaurant mexican food it really is an eye opener when eating outside of Southern California let alone Mexico or as my family "la comida de mi mama es major cien por ciento!!!" Lastly: the same younger looking Latina was behind our table cleaning a smaller group that left and once we all started to get up to leave she made sure she was extremely annoyed of our large presence. The dirty looks and holding back what she thought was quite visible to my observant eyes. I kept staring at her the entire time as each member made their way to the front area to meet and exit. We we never loud, did not make a mess and tipped our waiter generously, which I hope she gets nothing of it. We don't come here often as again, we live in California, but probably would never return unless it was just a drink at the bar. The girl needs to be better trained both in demeanor, her attitude axed, and learn costumer service. Out waiter and the older man with glasses were nice.

Everything tasted great and had quick service. The queso is delicious and the large portion is…read morelarge, but not too big for my family to crush.

(I heard they are kinda known for the pork). It was very good! The pork is fried but it's still moist, which adds a special crunch. The burrito was 2 meals so that tells you how big it was. The wait staff are very attentive and friendly and brought drink refills without asking, a nice thing. I liked it because it was quiet. The booths have high backs on them so you don't hear the tables around you. It's a very good restaurant and we will be back.

That is not at all the case here! Though it was crowded we were seated right away inside near the salsa bar... Probably will request the porch again next time. Our server was great, which is typical each time we have come! He kept our drinks full, it was always quick to refill our basket of chips or anything else we ask for. We started with a bowl of queso to share -- LARGE, and enough to take some home even after 6 of us ate from it -- and the table side guacamole. Let me tell you that I'm not a "guacamole guy", but I dug into this!! It was DELICIOUS, and will be the standard I compare all other guacs to now!!! My wife and I both ordered the steak fajitas, knowing they would be a large portions and that we could bring extra home to our cabin. She made it through about a third of hers, I made it through only half. Plenty to bring back, and we were given fresh tortillas to bring home as well. Delicious! My BIL got fajitas as well, SIL got the chimichangas, and one nephew got chicken tenders while the other got enchiladas. Everything was delicious and no complaints! Keep up the great service, delicious food, and large portion sizes at a decent price -- and we will keep coming back!

I suppose I should have written this review a year ago, but after what happened this week, I knew I…read morehad to finally share it. The first time I visited this restaurant last year, I was immediately impressed. The salsa was fantastic, and the quality and freshness of the ingredients in the spinach and mushroom quesadilla and chili rellenos really stood out to me. I went home and talked about the food so much that I was determined to bring my then-fiancé here so he could experience it for himself. We got married two months ago and for his birthday this week, the timing finally worked out--and, of course, everything was just as delicious as I remembered. The food was wonderful, but what really stood out was the service. Our waitress was fantastic, and the other staff members continuously checked on us, chatted with us, and made us feel genuinely welcome. There is a warmth and friendliness to this restaurant that you can feel almost immediately. It feels less like you are simply eating at a restaurant and more like you are being welcomed into a community. Then, in the middle of dinner, I realized I couldn't find my wedding ring. Because apparently, I enjoy adding a little excitement to an otherwise perfectly pleasant birthday dinner. At first, I assumed I had left it at home or perhaps accidentally dropped it down the drain. It had been a little loose, so I was worried but figured there had to be a reasonable explanation. I still couldn't find it and even called the restaurant back to see if someone had found it. The next morning, however, I suddenly remembered exactly what had happened: I had dropped some salsa on my wedding ring during dinner. When I wiped it off with a napkin, the ring must have slipped off and gone into the napkins. At this point, I had one thought, "Oh no, I know exactly where my wedding ring is and what I'm going to have to do to find it." I called the restaurant, and they had already looked for it the night before. When I came in that morning, they let me search the restaurant myself. When I couldn't find it, I asked if I could look through the trash. I came prepared--with gloves, waterproof shoes, a mask, and extra trash bags--because I was fully prepared to dig through it myself. Basically, I looked like I was preparing for a very low-budget episode of Dirty Jobs: Wedding Edition. (If you're wondering where my husband is in all this, I'm super stubborn and left him while he was in the middle of getting ready to come with me because I didn't want him to dig through trash on his birthday.) But George, the owner, and his daughter, Hilda, absolutely insisted that George would look for it instead. So we went out to the dumpster, and George climbed in and began going through massive bags of trash filled with everyone's discarded food, napkins, and everything else from the night's dinner service. He went through one bag. Then another. Then a third. By the third bag, we were getting close to accepting that the ring was simply gone. And then we saw it. MY WEDDING RING! After three enormous bags of restaurant garbage, my tiny wedding band was sitting there like it had been on a bender and was finally ready to come home. I was obviously thrilled to have my ring back, but honestly, that isn't even the part of this story that means the most to me. What I am most excited about is being able to tell people about the kind of people who own and work at this restaurant. This is what genuine customer service looks like. More than that, it is genuine kindness. There aren't many people who would willingly climb into a dumpster and dig through three enormous bags of garbage for someone else's tiny wedding band, especially when there was no guarantee we would ever find it. George and Hilda didn't have to do that. They could have simply let me look through the trash myself and wished me luck. Instead, they went completely out of their way to help me. In a world where it can sometimes feel like the internet is determined to convince us that people are terrible, experiences like this remind me that there are still so many good people who will help someone simply because they can. So yes, I am grateful to have my wedding ring back. But I am even more grateful to have a story about a restaurant owner who was willing to climb into a dumpster to help a customer find hers. I am incredibly grateful to George, Hilda, and everyone at this restaurant--not just for helping me find my ring, but for reminding me what a welcoming, caring community can look like. That is the kind of place this is. The food is delicious. The service is wonderful. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. And apparently, if you accidentally throw your wedding ring away with your napkin, they will literally help you retrieve it from the depths of the dumpster. I will absolutely continue coming here, and I will continue telling everyone I know to come here, too. I just may be a little more careful with my wedding ring next time.
