The restaurant space is clean and would be good for large groups. Grab a margarita and enjoy the large deck. Set off from the road and surrounded by pines you can enjoy the outside space without all the commotion of the city. Our service was fast and friendly. Our food came very quickly, watch out for the plates, hot, hot, hot. I ordered the combination plate: pork tamale, chicken enchilada and beans and rice. Very tasty. The tamale was ridiculous. The portions were more than generous. My son ordered the Burrito Ixtapia. It was giant and he said it was delicious. You won't need to take out a second mortgage to eat here. I was pleasantly surprised to not pay Lake prices. It's a little off the beaten path, and well worth the trip!

They have regulars with whom they chat and ask about family, so this restaurant has some roots at this point with the locals. Best of all was the VALUE: very reasonable prices.

When I pulled up to the ordering menu, it seemed to be broken because it kept repeating, "Sorry, we are closed." It took about 10 minutes for a female employee to ask what I wanted to order. She had a hard time understanding English, and I had to repeat myself multiple times. After my order was placed, there was a long wait. Twenty-five minutes later, a lady opened the side window and, in the most unprofessional manner, said my order and reached out for my form of payment. I requested a receipt, but just like every other time, their machine was broken. The reason I requested a receipt was because the price always changes, and I always order the same items. One person gave me a military discount once; after that, another staff member stated there is no military discount or that the meal value has to be $30 or more for a military discount to be applied. This time, my order was $33, and I asked them to apply the military discount, but she said they don't offer a military discount. I noticed the receipt they couldn't produce was on the counter with a tip written on it. They are giving themselves unauthorized tips. When I returned home, my food was cold. The refried beans tasted like horse manure. I noticed there was a thick glob of spit in my refried beans. Please don't order or eat from Antonios Mexican Fresh. Look at their restaurant/food reports. Antonios Mexican Fresh staff members served me spoiled refried beans. Antonios Mexican Fresh staff members spat in my refried beans.
