My brother-in-law ordered the combo with mixed meats and seafood for one, and it was absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and more than enough food. I ordered the fajitas; they were good, but next time I'd skip those and go straight for the nachos and the tostadas, which looked outstanding. Before we even finished scanning the menu, the owner brought out food for the baby on the house, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. The drinks were excellent as well made and refreshing. Overall, great food, great service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for more of his amazing meals.

Husband and I shared the sombrero for 1. Wow the meats, pork, chicken, chorizo .... To died for!!!!!! Wish we could Live closer to this place and we would def be regular customers. Our drinks were delicious too. Service. The staff was beyond sweet and friendly. Elias was our server. He recommended some stuff and even shared the restaurant story as well as the owner's. The place is very "hidden" which makes it def a hidden gem. Once you get off the highway it's a quick 1 minute drive. We went in at night time. Everything inside was clean. Restaurant felt cozy.

Since then, they have been one of the most amazing spots ever. Great food, a variety of options, so many specials and amazing service. Every person that works at all these locations has always been friendly. I haven't dined in at the new one yet but from what I see they have a full bar and the ambience looks great. Their steak is always perfectly cooked, medium rare, juicy most and packed with flavor. All of their meat options are absolutely delicious. They are limited on the sauces they provide but I am so happy they are consistent throughout. I've had their burritos, their wings, their enchiladas their chicken you name it. You will always see me here as this will remain one of my consistent places to dine in or for take out.

However, when I picked up my order and got home, I found a burrito with absolutely no beans and a lot of rice! I am very disappointed that my simple instructions weren't followed. Llamamos con anticipación para pedir un burrito a nuestro gusto con camarones, lechuga, frijoles refritos y queso. Cuando me preguntaron por teléfono, dije específicamente 'sin arroz'. Sin embargo, cuando recogí mi pedido y llegué a casa, ¡encontré un burrito que no tenía frijoles y tenía mucho arroz! Estoy muy decepcionada de que no siguieran mis instrucciones.

We were seated in a few minutes and waitress grabbed our drink order. Margaritas of course, mine was frozen. Good amount of tequila, ice ground down very fine and good flavor. Next came the apps and they were the star. We skied all day so had a big appetite. We got the guac, the salsa and chips and the Tuna Tartare. Guac was amazing and the tuna was so good and plenty to eat. Salsa was fine but not mind blowing. I'd get the tuna everytime! I had the surfer burrito which had Jumbo shrimp, seasoned well and served with rice, beans and a nicely dressed salad. Everything was great. Place is kid friendly, casual feel with a touch of fancy. Located in the Hotel Dylan, plenty of parking to be had. Prices were very reasonable. Not far from Kingston on Route 28 and worth the trip.

It was a bit hard to find places around this area and further as places seem to close earlier and we enjoyed our experience. We were seated in a more private area which I appreciated and the service was wonderful. We started with the calamari and I was really intrigued by the lobster quesadilla so I ordered that as well. My partner went with their dinner plate option - pulled chicken burrito. The calamari was perfectly battered and fried and it definitely served it's job as an appetizer! There was a large amount and we finished it so quickly that I wished we had saved some to eat with the entrees. The Lobster Quesadilla was quite good and I really enjoyed the flavors in it. I do think that the onions made the quesadilla a bit wet and therefore, it falls apart a bit easily. While I don't eat beans, my partner enjoyed the rice and beans very much and loved how fragrant they were. The burrito itself was interesting as the concept seemed to be more of a deconstructed burrito. It was tasty but wasn't wrapped like a burrito and he thought it could've been improved if it was wrapped with the components inside. Nevertheless, this was a satisfying dinner and we did not leave hungry.

They quickly brought out tortilla chips with a homemade salsa and hot sauce. I chose the chimichangas in queso sauce. Hubby had the enchiladas in mole sauce. Mine was ok. I wasn't expecting the food to be drenched in sauce. If you like queso sauce, this is for you. The rice was ok, but felt like it was missing something. My husband's enchilada tasted good he said. Service was fine. They did check on us to ask if everything was good. Appreciated that. This was a lunch, and there were no lunch offerings. Found that surprising. Could offer that and plate smaller portions. I mention that because lunch was over $50. Overall, could use better decorations outside and inside. And perhaps offer more reasonable lunch options. Our opinion, but was worth visiting. You never know when you'll find a diamond in the rough.

So random, but I'm not mad at it. My husband has been craving milanesa so he got the chicken milanesa torta. Any sandwich that comes with beans is an automatic winner in my book. I got the tlayuda to satisfy my bean craving. It was huge! I had to take some of it as leftovers. I loved how spicy the brown salsa on top was and it had a great crunch. The waiter was so friendly and sweet and took great care of us. I wish we were closer so we could patronize this establishment more often!
