Food was good, authentic and hot. Our party ordered steak fajitas, beef enchiladas and kids corn dogs and fries. The rice was tasty, but I always add salsa to make it taste better. The chips were good, not warm or hot. Salsa had alittle bit of bold taste, nice! Service was excellent, but it was not too many customers in the restaurant when we visited. Nice decor in both sides of the restaurant. read more

Excellent service, good prices, healthy portions of food. Fajitas were good and well seasoned but could have done for a bit more spice, and I would have loved a dollop of guacamole to go with the fajitas but otherwise tender and good. Michelada was tasty. House Margarita was bit weak but tasty. The standout was the free salsa which was very flavorful and had some spice above the Minnesota average (which we enjoyed). Didn't rock our socks but for a good Mexican meal, we would return. read more

Amazing! Food was great and the staff were friendly and quick! Good value, too! Very cute restaurant!

Just average. Not great, not bad. It's just good Mexican food and service. Not a place to avoid by any means, but not someplace to go out of your way to visit, either. We went because we were in the area and wanted Mexican. It was good. read more

Was here with a a large group on NYE and I'll say the service was excellent and the food fantastic! Great options and the ultimate margarita is perfect! The fajitas are great and large portions! Got the Ixtapa Fajitas and boom they were a home run! Kaitlyn our server was amazing and extremely friendly and also attentive! Thank you for taking care of a party of 15! read more

We entered and we're seated at a two top with a small table. We were greeted and asked what we wanted to drink. We got our drinks and ordered our food. Then waited 15 minutes with empty beverages. It's a smaller place with only a few staff members. Asked for more chips with our cheese dip twice and didn't get them. Food was good. Service was lacking. read more

I always get my burrito made the way I want not on the menu, but it comes out exact good stuff large shrimp. Margaritas aren't bad either love the beans and rice service has always been great. read more

This place never disappoints. This is not what you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant in a small town in the Midwest. They have molcajate, elote, horchata and much, much more! They have all of the regular Mexican fare with the addition of many seafood options. The onions and bell peppers are always cooked to perfection. Meat is always done well with tons of flavor- never dry. There is something for everyone here. One appetizer that our kids love (not seemingly very mexican) is the Isabella Fries- battered French fries with bacon (actual bacon, not bacon bits) and queso. Several nacho options, many different fajita options, vegetarian options, just too much to list. read more

I've been driving by and looking for a while. I've lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Central and southern California and in my 50's, I think I have a decent idea of what decent Mexican food is. This is not. At 7:00pm it looked closed but when we got to the door we saw other patrons seated and eating, so we went in. Stereotypical atmosphere with a large bar as the central focus of the establishment. Took a few minutes for anyone to appear and seats. Dirty menus. Salsa dried on the wall, sugar packet caddy and packets, salt shaker and a fine outline of ick around the tray it all was on. They seemed put out that I asked for them to please wipe the table down and replace the items that had obviously been neglected for some time. We made our choices and placed our order. Salsa arrived and the flavor was like Hunts canned spaghetti sauce with cilantro and WAY TOO MUCH CUMIN added. It tasted like what I imagine a wet dog covered in dollar store spaghetti sauce would. They brought out the queso dip and it was a lump of cheese, somewhat melted, swimming in butter flavored oil that had been poorly and necessarily combined. The chips were warm but not at all fresh and had come out of the oil sometime a few weeks back at the Santitos plant before being bagged up and sent to Walmart. Boo! My favorite part of Tex Mex style food, sullied by folks that haven't figured out how to clean a table properly and safely. When the main entrees arrived, the refried beans looked grey and like a cake that had fallen during baking and had been allowed to finish and then had cheese sprinkled on it to distract us from the appearance. The spanish rice was so tangy it was almost foul! Little to no seasoning to the ground beef in the enchiladas and tacos. The chili relllano was a cool blob of queao fresco wrapped in a giant chili that hadn't been seared and had the consistency of a rubbery bell pepper, dipped in batter and not fried long enough. Uncooked breading, dripping with oil, slathered on an under cooked and SWEET pepper. It's almost like someone from Minnesota taught the latins at the restaurant how to cook Mexican food... bland, wrong flavors, sweet and unappealing appearance. I would've said it was like my old next door neighbor Mrs. Lundegård had made a Mexican Hot-dish for the church social, but at least she got the seasoning in the neighborhood of Mexico.... When I ordered there was zero language barrier but when I wanted to address the quality of the food, " no Habla". He was rather stunned when I replied in his native tongue that the food sucked and we weren't happy with it, nor the conversation he and three other young men had been having in the middle of the dining room about what they had done after work with the prior evening. Suffice it to say it involved illegal contraband (not pot) and sex. Great. Have fun. Enjoy your liberty. Remember, some of us dumb white people understand spanish and use it quite well. We also don't like crapping our guts out later. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, phenomenal quality and flavor I would recommend allowing me to take the bullet for you at this establishment and avoid it. El Loro in Big Lake is on top of their game and leave the graphic conversations in the back of the house. read more

Great food! Service is amazing!! Highly recommend the queso birra tacos. Flavor is amazing read more

A bit slow to wait on us. We were seated quickly, but then...nada! Server had minimal personality and mostly grunted. Salsa was okay, better than expected (looks like tomato sauce). At least they had good condiments (Cholula, el yucateco green and red sauces). Took a while to get our food from Grumpy aka Grunty. Grumpy had an AirPod in one ear. WTH! We ordered the Flaming Fajitas and it took a good 30 minutes. Finally, Miguel, brought our food and was very pleasant, an upgrade from Grunty Grump. Food was very good. A lot of flavor and sizable portion. The building started shaking and thought it must be the train on the other side of Hwy 10 but nope. No train in sight this time. Check took forever and we eventually went to the host stand to pay. Not once did anyone ask if weneeded anything. Definitely an up and down experience so this place will be at your own risk. read more

This place is kind of tucked away, but that should not deter you away. We were sat immediately and received our drinks in a timely manner. The food came out surprisingly fast. The free chips and salsa were handed to us as we sat down as well. Overall, quick and good food. Portions are also generous. Will be coming back again read more

A great restaurant for anyone who likes an authentic-looking Mexican restaurant, without the good food. We got a mixed appetizer plate and I swear each thing was worst than the last. The quesadilla tasted like it was made with American processed cheese, the guacamole looked store-bought, and the taquitos were an impressive mix of undercooked and burned. Anything with cheese in it tasted weird. In fact, the queso we ordered to go with our chips was the strangest mystery sauce I've ever seen. It had the consistency of milk, was tasteless, and looked gross. My fajitas plate and its sides came out at different times, long enough for my beans and rice to get cold. The one upside was the traditional margarita, which was passable. I can imagine that a lot of people will love this place. Maybe you will. I can't imagine many of those people being experienced with a range of Mexican restaurants. This was an expensive disappointment. read more

Good for the area. I was super hopeful for this place when it first opened. It's good, they run specials, they have beer & margaritas. This style of Mexican uses zucchini & cactus (not my fave). I am a fan of the molcajete, my husband and I split it. I got the cheese Sauce one time- it was on the runny side. A 4-Star review is a little generous but I cant give half stars. It's nice to have variety in town and it's pretty good. Although if I could I'd give it 3.5-Stars. There's nothing outstanding about this place to say "wow," however there's nothing bad to say "no way." read more

This place is amazing! My family grabs take out at least 1-2 a week. We love supporting this business and we hope it stays FOREVER. Great place for lunch or dinner and very kid friendly. We appreciate them being open during Covid-19 and they have been very accommodating. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious.

This was a quick stop on the way out of the city and we found this place to be a very nice gem along the freeway. If I had to make this drive regularly, I would stop here every time. The service was fast and friendly, the food was really good, salsa tasted fresh, and the decor makes the whole place very fun. This is definitely worth checking out. read more

Ordered the fajitas for two and the tenderness of the meat was amazing! Great menu with reasonable prices!

Great food and service. Love the atmosphere and the food. Good value for the money. Always friendly

Food was ok, tables were jammed close together, service not great but not awful. Just ok place.

We went there with a group of 7 during dinner rush and a full restaurant, they were able to make it work and get us all seated in 5 minutes. We knew they were super busy so we were in no rush to get the food yet everything came out very quickly. The food was great! It was also very large quantities so we all went home with a 'to go' box. As busy as they were, all their staff was amazing! Getting everything done with a smile on their faces. We haven't had friendly, fast service like that in a long time! Props to you and your team! Definitely a must if you are in the area. read more

What a hidden gem! We went to have an easy dinner and saw a sign. We were seated quickly and had some delicious margaritas. The food arrived promptly and was hot and delicious. The price was quite reasonable for the portion size. The ambiance was festive and upbeat. I will definitely be back!! read more

Just had some great tacos. The shells are light and tasty, the cheeses are perfect and the beef filling just right! I only had 2 but probably could eat a dozen! read more

Food was good, service was excellent! We like our food SPICY, so we asked for some more spicy salsa. Our server brought out HIS green concoction of tomatillos, Jalapeño, and spices (see photo)--YUMMY! He also brought out a red devil spice that we could add to the regular salsa-it was dang spicy! read more

Love this restaurant and grateful for their service! We had them cater our son's grad party. They provided everything needed complete with staff, supplies and an abundance of delicious food. They provided large portions and their menu was priced well. We appreciated Miguel and his personal touch. It made for a great, stress free experience for us! read more

First time at this restaurant and, boy, am I glad we came. The service was great, and the food was not only plated beautifully but was also absolutely delicious. Four in our party and we all enjoyed our food. Cute place. We will be back for sure! read more

Love their food and staff! They are friendly, professional and fast! Their classic margarita is tart, fresh, and sweet without being too sugary. I love their homemade tamales, NOT frozen. We get la banderita, the seafood fajita, or meat fajita when we visit. And, the booths and seating have carved, hand-painted designs that are beautiful! read more

The foods look, service it really nice and friendly. For a non fast food restaurant the prices are about what you would expect. ($10-25) my biggest issue is they offer a lunch time buffet, yet even over an hour before it's set to close they don't refill the food that is gone. Love the taste be the last 2 times I stopped the meats were mostly gone so I got 1 & 2 since both beef and chicken were picked over. For $11 personally I won't bother next time read more

Great food was fast and had amazing service I would 100 percent come back and good prices

Definitely a great place to try! A wonderful family owned restaurant The owner stopped by the table to make sure everything was perfect. Very friendly and accommodating staff. We are not big eaters but like good food. They made us the lunch portions for dinner. The food was fresh hot and delicious. We were surprised to find a good MexicAn restaurant in the Midwest. And of course the gold standard of Mexican food THE SALSA Salsa was not too spicey. ( we prefer spicey) Has chili spice in salsa. Nice thin chips read more

Here in Becker for a BBall tourney and hopped over to Los Ortizes for lunch. Everything was tasty, portion sizes were plentiful, not your run-of-the-mill chips and salsa. A definite keeper for the Becker area. Burrito Bandera was the biggest I've had anywhere and I ate the whole thing! read more

We stopped for lunch on our way up north. Really great food, fun atmosphere, and fun service! Worth the stop!!!

We stopped in to this restaurant and once we got our food my sister spilled her drink over her food on accident. The waiter noticed the spill but then came over and threw a rag at the table and walked away expecting for her to clean it. Then came back and seemed irritated when we asked if it possible if he could replace the food (only 2 bites were taken out of the food). He responded by saying it wasn't his fault, that he didn't spill the drink and nothing was wrong with the food so the food couldn't be replaced. He was extremely rude and didn't even try to help with anything at all. His name is Roberto Carlos. Action definitely needs to be taken. read more

Wasn't too bad, will have to give it a couple more tries. (Margaritas are pretty weak)
