Authentic green and red Chile cooked without fillers like flour or corn starch-the food shines on its own. Fish tacos fresh and delicious. Margarita options for every palate. Perfect amount of guacamole to accentuate my meal. Super clean and the service? Bustin' tail to accommodate every table, with kindness smiling back when you offer them a little patience, a little appreciation. I'm in Westcliffe four times a year and I already can't wait for my return. Kudos to Maria and crew, we enjoyed a wonderful evening. Show less

I have had mole, burritos, rellenos, tacos and margaritas. I have liked it all. Staff is great! Parking can be the only difficulty as it is limited. Honestly, we go here so often I am surprised I forgot to write a review. Definitely one of the better places in Canon.

Visiting the area and stopped in for dinner last night. It was super busy with the entire entry…read morearea full of people waiting. The host told us it would be a 45 minute wait. Obviously it looked popular, so we decided to wait. But within about 10 minutes the entire wait area had been seated, as were we. Great start! The staff was really moving fast - some practically running - to serve food and drinks. The chips were good, homemade salsa was awesome and plentiful - more was offered while we waited for our food to arrive. We had the chicken enchiladas favoritas, and a vegetarian combo. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere is fun and laid back. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. We'll be returning soon!

BLUF: very good food at reasonable price. Friendly servers…read more Went with a large group on a Wed night. I think we ordered literally everything on the menu, and to a person we liked what we received. One of the few places that makes a really good Horchata drink, so if you like those order one. It wasn't that lively in there, but it was a Wed so not a big night out for most people. Their steak meals were a clear standout - everyone liked everything, but those got raves. Also, bacon-wrapped shrimp were great - good sized and grilled so they still had a snap to them. The downsides: it took a long time for food to come out, although some of that probably can be attributed to us being a big group. That said, several waited for, and eventually had to ask for, the tortillas that went with their meals. Our servers spoke little english, so sometimes communications were difficult, but ALWAYS friendly. I would definitely go back.

On a road trip, and the location was perfect for filling up the car and grabbing some brunch…read more FOOD: Mild, tomato-tasting salsa with the complementary chips. The ladies split the chilaquiles, and declared them excellent. The guys had the chorizo breakfast burrito, which was tasty, but with a bit too much cheese and a bit too much chorizo for the mix (which may be just my taste). The green chili served over the burrito was quite nice. SERVICE: Tony (I presume) was friendly and helpful. Service was a little slow -- he seemed to be juggling a lot -- but we weren't in a great hurry. AMBIANCE: It's not posh. Based on the sign, it's been there for decades. But it's clean and straightforward. NET-NET: Good food, decent surroundings and service. If opportunity presents, we'll definitely be back.

We loved the Mexican Margarita and the Too Shelf ones. A little more orange version than traditional ones we are used to but it is Mexico style.

We decided to buy a round for the house since they were nice enough to feed us at closing. We ordered a pitcher of their Tapatio margaritas. They came out quickly and were delicious.

We were immediately greeted by friendly staff, who seated us promptly and gave us 2 generous baskets of chips along with 2 types of salsas. As we were deciding on food, we also got a bowl of corn elote which was amazing! A crispy relleno is what I order at all Mexican restaurants to gauge how much I like the food, and this place didn't disappoint! One of the best rellenos I've had, and the green chili was fantastic. The rest of the party was very happy with their meals, as well, which included shrimp Enchiladas, tacos, combos, and nachos. All fresh, authentic, and delicious! And even the kids hamburger was a nice, thick patty with lettuce and tomato. Our party also had the house marg and the Sanchez, and both were well-balanced and not over-priced. Highly recommend! On top of it all, Santiago, our server, was so amazing. Friendly, very attentive, and patient with us all as we practiced our Spanish. Couldn't have asked for a better Mexican restaurant.
