We both really enjoyed our food!

How can you make a Mexican dish so bland? No seasoning and the enchilada was almost devoid of sauce. My daughter had fajitas and said that it was good except for the burnt parts. My grandson did like his French fries. I was very disappointed that on Cinco de Mayo we had dishes but no fireworks. Bland, Bland, Bland! I like Tejano music and as we approached the restaurant there was music playing and I was hopeful. But once inside the music faded and the noise from customers made it hard to hear our waitress.

It's a mix of nostalgia, and still getting a decent portion of food for my coins. Plus I'm a sucker for a juice filled margarita, and from time to time you can actually taste the alcohol ;) So yes, the food is just ok like most chain restaurants nowadays, but honestly, I can say that the service is usually good. As a matter of fact, on my last visit my server was wonderful! Shout out to Maria who let us claim one of her booths for hrs lol :) I hope they stay treating you well up there and I'll definitely be requesting you in the future! Overall it's a good place to catch up with friends/family. So grab yourself a Happy Hour marg & some free chips/salsa the next time you're in Elkhart.

My service was good at the start and I ordered the country fried steak, crispy hash browns with onions, sunny side eggs and sourdough toast. The plate looked good with the country fried steak was thicker and bigger than what you typically get where I live. The country fried steak had nice flavor and a crispy coating topped with creamy country gravy. The extra crispy hash brown were perfect. The eggs were perfect. The sourdough was better than average. After my server left the check I never saw her again. It was a big plate of food so I would get a box and put it in the fridge for the next morning but I sat and sat there with my server gone like the wind so I finally flag down another server and ask for a box. I was completely left in limbo and no other servers looked after me because I wasn't one of their tables.

I love their enchiladas and Chimichangas, although their Chili relleno isn't what i was used to. I think their drinks are a bit overpriced and a little strong for my taste and they never salt their glasses enough for my margaritas. But overall, if you're looking for a great place for Mexican (American/Mexican) this place can't be beat. Finally, let me tell you, that menu is outstanding and incredibly diverse. The menu is like 10-12 pages long...it takes you a good 10-15 minutes just to peruse it. Trying to decide among all the choices is an exercise in stomach growling torture. I highly recommend anyone place this on their dining list.
