I was in Imperial Valley for work and found this Mexican restaurant on Yelp. We decided to give it…read morea try on our way to the airport. The restaurant is nice and gives a diner feel. The employees are very friendly and helpful. The food, starting with chips and salads, was very good. I had a vegetable burrito which came wet with a green sauce and melted cheese. It came with grilled lots of veggies, beans, sour cream, and I added rice. It was delicious! The price was just right. If I find myself in IV, I'll definitely go back!

The food and atmosphere are both good, but their pricing is very expensive (take a look at the…read moremenu) and not justifiable in my honest opinion. There are many other restaurants here in Imperial Valley with better food that will be a little easier on the wallet. Should they ever revise their menu pricing to mirror similar restaurants, I would indeed come back based upon on the quality of food and service. But to each their own... there are lots of good reviews here, and many people love this place for what it is.

Today I returned to the wonderful D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer in El Centro where my epic hiking…read moreexpedition ended in failure, disappointment, and embarrassment a few weeks ago. I intended to travel the entire 2,600-mile length of the Pacific Crest Trail, but my adventure unceremoniously ended in El Centro under a tree about 60 miles east of my starting point. The paramedics told me that hiking is not for everyone. After a desperate two weeks of hiking with little food and water through BLM land tracks, old service roads, and desert washes, as best I can recall, I finally set up camp in El Centro under a farmer's tree near his washing line. Soon after the farmer called the police about my campfire, the authorities and my ex-wife found me in a state of delerium hosting a tea party under a large avocado tree wearing the farmer's wife's plus size nightgown while serving "cups of chai tea" to a sizable pile of rotten avocados and a rusty shovel that I thought was "Jan" from those Toyota commercials. My first real meal after being found by the authorities and my ex-wife was at D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer. D'Poly was the perfect welcome back to civilization as it has a spectacular menu full of delicious Mexican cuisine like street tacos, flautas, sopes and empanadas. The Lineman burrito is my absolute favorite. And they have a wonderful breakfast menu! It's fast casual dining, but it has a sort of classic and moody vibe that gives off a more upscale feel. Love it! A wonderful place to break free of your delusions. My ex-wife tried to tell me that hiking is not for everyone. Thankfully, the paramedics found my emergency contact list and phoned my ex-wife who showed up and broke me out of my stupor by making me drop my emotional support avocado, taking me by the shoulders and shaking me vigorously while yelling "it's over, it's over!" Ironically, that was the same way she told me we were getting divorced. I'm not a quitter, so it takes a while for me to give up. I've since tried many items on the D'Poly menu and everything is exceptional, though I do avoid adding avocado. It's just too soon. Thank you D'Poly Taco Grill and Beer! Five stars.

The staff were excellent, friendly, and attentive, which always makes a big difference. Everyone we interacted with was welcoming and happy to help with any questions. I also really appreciated how clear and easy the menu is to read. Everything is well organized and straightforward, which makes ordering simple even if it's your first time there. There are plenty of great options to choose from, and it's obvious they put thought into making the menu user friendly. Overall, Ma Lupe's Mexican Food is a solid choice if you're looking for good food and great service. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable meal.

This was my first time visiting this establishment, and unfortunately it was a very disappointing…read moreexperience. When we arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty with only about two tables of customers. Despite that, we were not greeted at the door and no one acknowledged us. We were left standing there trying to figure out if we were supposed to wait to be seated or seat ourselves, which already set a negative tone for the visit. That lack of attention ended up foreshadowing the rest of the service. After we were seated, everyone else at our table eventually received their food except me. When we were finally able to get the waitress's attention to ask about my order, she realized that my plate had been given to another table. By that point, I had already been waiting around 25 minutes, and I was on a limited lunch break, so the delay was extremely frustrating. To make matters worse, when it came time to pay, I was charged more than what I had actually ordered. At that point, I was so disappointed and pressed for time that I did not even bother disputing it and just wanted to leave. I want to note that this experience occurred at the Antojitos on Main Street location, not the Desert Gardens location. I truly hope management can address these issues, because first impressions matter, and this visit left a lot to be desired.

Still looking for a great Mexican restaurant in the Imperial Valley!…read more Someone suggested Flautas and Sopes in El Centro and my first impression when I saw their YELP site was to get there asap! The cashier was welcoming and the line wasn't too long and was able to order quickly. I ordered three #1's which is basically the works. I waited for a bit and my order was ready in about 10 minutes. I had 10 miles to drive so I floored it and unpacked the food for the festivities to begin. There was plenty of salsa that was packed with the orders so I decided to start dipping with the flautas. Instead of heavenly bliss I encountered bland no man land! They were basically hard cardboard and the salsa was equivalent to watered down tomato sauce. But I still had the tostada, sope and a machaca taco, there was still some hope. Unfortunately the tostada and the sope were dead, lifeless and tasteless. The only thing barely edible was the machaca taco: barely! All the life and excitement was sucked out of the space and left me feeling as though I had just been robbed! My suggestions to Flautas and Sopes is to either close or start all over again. Based on my experience, now ai know why Taco Bell and Del Taco might ring the right bell for people! At least you know what to expect!
