I tried both the garlic soup and the tortilla soup, and the tortilla soup absolutely stole the show. If you're only getting one soup, make it that one. I also had the chile relleno, and it was really good. The egg batter was fluffy, light, and wrapped around the chile perfectly. The rice was a little bland on its own, but once you mixed it with the beans and sauce, everything came together nicely. We also ordered the milanesa empanizada and added grilled onions on top, which was definitely the right move. The service deserves its own shout-out. Everyone was so friendly, checked on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. Between the food, the hospitality, and the cozy atmosphere, it honestly felt like eating at a family member's house. I'll definitely be back

(Not too many restaurants offer shredded chicken oddly enough, so I was happy they did. ) I could only eat 2 and my husband ate the 3rd one. Husband got the carnitas plate with beans & rice. Carnitas did have crispy edges and was tasty. Rice wasn't too fluffy but was fairly good. Beans were good. Drinks: I got the margarita martini and husband got the Paloma. Both were tasty. We would definitely come back.

Once seated it took a few for our drink orders to be taken. Our food order arrived fairly quickly to our table why was good because we were hungry after a days hike. But I was also questioning the fact that we were served so fast with there being a good handful of customers seated as well. Overall the portions were good. No leftovers taken. They seem to offer specials that are posted at entrance. Pretty decent parking as it is shared with a shopping center. They do have a decent sized many so there should be something for everyone. If you prefer slick salsa I would ask for it to be spicy as their salsa is more of a pico style mainly of tomato flavor and not much of a "kick" to it. You can get a decent meal here
