Trying something new, I ordered tacos Al Pastor and the server immediately said "that's my favorite" and he brought out a small taster of house made hot sauce to add if I'd like. The flavor is banging!! Might have found my favorite! The mole enchiladas were interesting and now I'm curious to try more mole recipes. Good as well.

The staff here is excellent--they regularly check in with you and you'll never feel neglected. I wish I could give higher praise to the food, but both dishes I've had here (barria tacos and a chimichanga) have seemed average at best. I feel that the au jus with the barria tacos didn't seem to have much in the way of flavor. The cheese dip seemed like it must have been sitting in a warmer or something; the texture was off. I can't say I'll never be back again, but I'm not going to be rushing to return either.

We were quickly seated and got our drinks and started to look over the menu, which house lots of options! The kids settled in on a grilled cheese and a taco respectively. I decided to get the lunch burrito and my wife went for the lunch enchilada. Our food came out pretty quickly and everything was very fresh tasting and the serving sizes are huge! For a lunch special I expected a lunch-sized portion and I got what I would consider an evening-sized portion. The same for my wife's meal. When we were wrapping up, they came out with ice cream for the kids. They really enjoyed that even though you would've thought they'd have been full after all they ate for lunch. The spice level on everything was very mild. The salsa had just a little bit of a zing to it but nothing that would stop the kids for eating it. Next time I will ask for some hot sauce or throw some jalapeños in my entrée, but I do like it spiced up a bit. Service was very good and a gentleman who I assume is the owner was very funny and engaged well with everyone in the restaurant. They have a parking lot and everything was neat and clean. We did not partake of any adult drink offerings, but they did have what look to be a nice nicely stocked bar

They serve complimentary fresh tortilla chips with salsa - the salsa is mild and refreshing with a nice burst of cilantro. My typical picks for entree are any of the chicken meals - arroz con pollo, poncho's lemon lime chicken or chori-pollo. My dad likes the burritos - a common go to is the burrito California. My sister swears by the burrito ruleta and she gets it every time. This occasion I also got a raspberry margarita on the rocks which was scrumptious.

The place wasn't very busy on this mid-week January evening, as I was seated quickly with the chips not far behind. The Margarita was refreshing and strong, the chips were fresh, and the enchilada came out hot and tasty. Service was friendly and fun, making my evening most pleasant.

While nothing really fancy facility-wise, they make up for it with friendly service and authentic Mexican food. We started with the standard chips and salsa (see picture) - opting to not add guacamole. The quality of the chips and salsa is the first test of any Mexican restaurant and they definitely passed this test - flavors and textures of both were to our liking and the quantity was good. For our dinners, my wife ordered Carnitas (see picture) and I just ordered 2 Authentic Mexican Tacos ala carte (see picture). The Carnitas plate was quite large (as shown in the photo) and even with my help after eating the 2 delicious tacos, we had a good helping to bring home with us. While I found the Tacos to be a bit bland to my taste, the hot sauce that was served on the plate added quite a bit of burn (although not much flavor) if you want to step up the spice level.

I prefer blended, i just assume fruit mugs should be blended, but these were actually very good. I don't think there was much tequila in them, because they were good. I don't typically care for super strong margaritas. the staff was great, we ate some chips and salsa and just chatted gor awhile. unfortunately a Saturday evening meal and we were the only ones in the restaurant. it was after the 141 garage sale, so maybe the whole town was exhausted, but that's why we went, to unwind after the sale was over.

Taste was awful. Meat was tasteless. No flavor. I found them almost inedible. In fact I thought I was going to feel ill when I was there. But just stopped eating them. The quesidilla was ok but rather overcooked. Not the best. I will not be back. We tipped the waiter as it was not his fault. But $74 for 3 lunch items was steep for such poor quality meals.
