    This neighborhood market, grocery store, resto and family owners have been around Defiance for a…read morelong time. My first encounter with this local gem was over twenty years ago on my first visit to this Ohio town, and it's still around with improvements, enhancements and is still great overall! A terrific family run business. From its jam-packed with a wide array of dry and can goods on grocery shelves, great meats, extensive local baked goods, and a much renovated and expanded restaurant and really nice Mexican-style bar! If you're in town and are in the mood for an ice-cold Dox Equis and/or Jalisco style Mexican cuisine, this the place for you! Their goodies run the gamut from an incredible Pozole to Grilled Chicken delights, to delectable Burritos to mouthwatering tacos, some terrific, refried beans and incredible chips and salsa! I think they are one of the top five Mexican food joints in the Defiance area. Oh, and do your groceries while you're at it. Buen provecho ya'll.

    Stopped in recently and honestly it was just okay. The food was pretty mediocre and the service was…read morereally slow, even though the place wasn't that busy. What really bothered me was the surprise 3.5% surcharge they add if you pay with a card. That includes debit cards too. I didn't see any signs about it and wasn't told until the check came. At that point, I didn't have cash, so I had no choice. For anyone wondering, surcharges on debit cards aren't allowed under Visa and Mastercard rules. I get that places are trying to cover costs, but it should be clear up front and within the rules. I wouldn't have stayed if I knew about the extra fee--or I would've stopped at my bank across the street to grab some cash. Just a heads-up for anyone thinking of stopping by: bring cash.

    I used to LOVE this place. I heard it had new owners so I was hesitant to go. I tried it again and…read morethe service wasn't great. The girl taking orders was not very friendly, wore gloves, but touched EVERYTHING after she spooned it into the bowl. Looked like the gloves hadn't been changed for a long time. She seemed annoyed that they were busy and had a line of customers. The assembly line was very messy *yes they were busy* but they made no attempt to keep the line clean. The girl at checkout seemed annoyed that she was working and didn't even tell me my total owed, just pointed to the screen. The guacamole was delicious, but my bowl with chicken was beyond salty. I couldn't eat it because it was over the top salty. Things have definitely changed and I was very disappointed with my visit and the food

    Quite possibly the rudest most unpleasant experience I've had at this place. The large extra sized…read moregirl that was so inconvienced go find a new place to hide, find a new job not in customer service, the night crew there is awful and should be ashamed of treating anyone like that. Laughing at the way my food was thrown together I even tipped I paid for food I couldn't eat couldn't even feed to the dog. And the taste inedible. The girl didnt use gloves for anything even grabbing chips. Sorry you hate the public so much word of advice dont work around children please this place needs to do better or just shut its doors end the suffering. Awful stay away ​
