    Solid food, pretty reasonable prices, salsa bar is a nice touch. Would definitely come back.

    The food was really good. The salsa selection was good but the pico and mango salsa were a bit too heavy on the onion. The service was friendly and the food came to our table within about 10 minutes. The dining area isn't larger so it can fill up quickly.

    This is a gem of a place. Coming from Chicago, we had a good share of authentic Mexican cuisine and this place stands out, it exceeded our expectations. The food is delicious, the vibe is great, service is outstanding and salsa bar is to die for. Highly recommend.

    Everything was good. You pay first and there is a salsa bar. I had enough fajita leftovers for days!

    Good Mexican option in Kenai. Nice selections of salsa. Order at counter, then they serve you. Hard working family owned business!!

Pretty limited menu, but it was fine because they had biscuits and gravy and I was very excited for that. We went in at 1215, brunch goes until 3pm. I ordered my biscuits and gravy and about 15 min later the waitress told me the only other table in the restaurant (who was seated after us, but order was taken before ours) had ordered "the last full and half order of biscuits and gravy and they were now out" but the waitress didn't "know" that until 15 min after I ordered. I was very disappointed and irritated as when we planned our brunch yesterday I had looked at the menu and had been waiting for those only to be told they were out. I get you only make a certain amount of things sometimes but this isn't the first time something like this has happened to me there, I have them two precious chances and had similar experiences. After she came and told me about the biscuits, it was another 15 min before we got our food. It was about 35 min from the time we ordered until we got our food, they were not busy with only the two tables. The people who came in after us, were seated, ordered, got their food and we're getting boxes before we every got ours and she took our order right after theirs. As much as I like the food and have tried to give this place multiple chances, I will not be returning again.

We hit the hotel and then ordered take out but Judy and I weren't feeling pizza. I ordered a perfect meal for 2 crunchy carbs w/blackened chicken. Togo was fast. The place was cranking, the outside patios were full I could see when I drove up. Inside was packed. Picked up a 4 Pack of Limited Edition Hefeweizen then paid at the Bar. Let's just say AMAZING! Say Farmer's Friend Beer Cheese! There's Some TANG in that CHEESE! On Nachos we dusted those off and with the Hefeweizen beer it was so perfect of a pairing! Sometimes a restaurant does something so right and you just know you made the right choice, so oh yeah that's their Nacho Average Nachos!

The crowd here is a bit more "mature" than Kenai which is good as we fit in. It's good a cool retro vibe within. And here, there is table service. Also more mature. Generally a great experience with the waitresses who were attentive but busy. Food available is mostly pizzas and the like. The pizzas were very good. One in my group said it was the best pizza he ever had. Of course, he's from OC so opinion might be a bit off They have several beer choices and all of them are distinct to the brewery. Farmer was enjoyed by me.
