Kinda disappointed breakfast was not being served anymore, but it makes sense for the area and because they open at 7am! Think we were a bit late to the breakfast party lol. Service was great and attentive, we were seated quickly when we arrived and the chips and salsa followed suit. The restaurant itself is nice, nothing fancy, they are here to feed you and that's their priority. For the food: I went with the Birria Jalisco and my partner went with the fajita burrito. For drinks we had a mimosa and coffees. Mimosa was great, coffee was pretty standard. The birria was actually pretty tasty and came with a side of rice and beans. I just wish I would've asked for corn instead of flour tortillas as they don't ask when you place the order. My partner THOROUGHLY enjoyed the fajita burrito lol that plate was clean. Overall the food was good, the restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly. Would definitely visit again.

They came with lettuce and cheese and he asked for pico de gallo on his as well. My daughter and I both got chicken quesadillas with added pico. They have a salsa bar where I was able to get us a couple to try on our dishes. The food was ready quickly and we took it outside to where my husband was at a picnic table with our two dogs. We ate outside on a lovely evening. I wish I had grabbed a fork before going outside. The dining room closed an hour before the posted closing time. So we could not get back in. The food was tasty and the salsas had wonderful heat. When we finished we disposed of our trash and left the tray on top of the trash can next to the door.

Paid $50 and were told "if the parking lot is full when we get there they're busy" (duh?) rather than acknowledge or apologize whatsoever for the extremely long wait. We're restaurant owners and I myself am an executive chef- not new to the restaurant business whatsoever and when we sat we were one of only three tables there.. certainly wasn't full when we got there and the parking lot had literally 3 cars. Really, really disappointed. If the place had been slammed when we came it would be a different story but absolutely wasn't busy when we arrived. Come expecting over an hour wait for food I guess. :/

The enchiladas consisted of small hard bits of meat scattered through a soupy mix of shredded cheese and watery red sauce. I understand that this restaurant has a storied past, and was previously a favorite stop for many former governors. But I fear those days are long past.

Yea, Yelp! Another…read morefantastic find in a kinda out of the way place for me and my party. CASH ONLY! before I forget. Adam is the perfect person to introduce one to his family's establishment. Explains everything for the newbies. Patient and erudite. Such poise in such a young person. It's a small dining area. Clearly a local fave. Phone was ringing off the hook. But many clearly knew their way around. A few ppl walked in, placed their order and said they'd be back at such and such a time. There's only a small kitchen We got to mean Domenic, our cook A sweetheart and a skilled chef. The food itself seems straightforward and pretty simple, but each dish had its own flavor which I think is pretty hard to do and each was so satisfyingly delicious. I think I would've bn satisfied with just the menudo and the half order of nachos, but didn't know it at the time we ordered so we went on and got the El Faro burger, my friend ordered the cheese enchiladas and of course we got the chile Christmas on the side. Fantastic! And a tremendous value. We were quite shocked that our entire meal, including 2 sodas came to less that $40, such that we left double that bc these small businesses are such treasures and we want such places to remain in business. Seemed there were quite a few locals but also lots of travelers coming through. I certainly plan to be back soon!

The appearance and atmosphere is almost identical to Val's. If you liked Val's you will be happy to know they seem to have kept the best of Val's.

Unfortunately, they have gone with the traditional chips found in most Mexican restaurants instead of the extra thick and crunchy ones Val's was known for. Definitely want to get over and try their breakfast.

Since this state is known for its green chile cheeseburgers, I had to try Fina's which is called a Mexican burger on the menu. Its a little unconventional: the burger is swimming in the chile sauce (see photo), so instead of eating it with your fingers you have to cut it with a knife and eat with a fork after sopping up the sauce with the bun. God it was good. Couldn't finish all my fries, too stuffed. The proprietor is a hoot. On the way out I noticed the overstuffed fruit turnovers in the bakery case. I would have died for one of those, but I was so stuffed there was no way.
