I thought I had written a review of this place before... It…read moreis, in my opinion the best Mexican food I have ever had in Canada. I have never had a dish here that I did not enjoy. My favourite might be the Pollo Al tequila. I remember a night when I lived nearby in the mid 90s when the owner had gotten a bunch of new tequilas in and he got my girlfriend and I to try a whole bunch of them and we ended up not going to work that night, lol. The service has generally been great. Every time I have gone I don't recall a bad experience, but it's hard to remember for sure. The ambiance feels a bit like being in a small restaurant in parts of Mexico, so that's great. I come here nearly every time I pass through red deer.

Nachos were a huge disappointment! Barely any cheese. The chicken enchiladas were good. But there…read morewas barely any meat in my Hubby's. Servers were great! You could tell they were embarrassed about the issues, and went out of their way to fix them. We weren't the only ones that weren't happy about the nachos. Apparently this is a common issue. May or may not try this restaurant again.

When we arrived just before noon there was only one other occupied table in the small restaurant. The owner asked if we'd ever been there before and when we said no, he gave us the full rundown of the buffet. When I told him I was vegetarian, he walked me past the buffet and showed me everything I could eat (which was all but two things!) I started off with their tortilla soup and loaded it up with chips and sour cream. It was incredibly flavourful and I honestly could have just kept eating that. Afterward, I filled up two tacos full of potatoes, black beans, salsa, and more. They even had homemade jalapenos which were delicious. My only complaint is that they didn't seem to have guacamole on the buffet. I understand it could be a cost thing, but I'm always willing to pay extra for guac! The price was fairly reasonable considering it was all you could eat ($15 for lunch). The owner joked that you have to pay double if you eat more than 60 tacos but I didn't get anywhere near that. This buffet is a hidden gem. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Red Deer.

Their burrito bowl regular size was allot less in quantity than expected. There was barley anything in the bowl. The quinoa was undercooked .Very wet and sloppy too. Unhappy with my 14$ meal which was a regular size burrito bowl and a root beer.. they did give a fair scoop of avocado tho. Thats a positive.

A hidden gem!! A mom and pop place. Home cooking. Start with the chips and mango salsa was amazing…read more Very clean, little music playing on the over head speakers. The feel of this establishment is home in Latin America. Plants and grapes all around. Nice murals on the wall with lots of art. Service was fantastic, Juan (Joe) was our waiter, he is also the owner. He explained the menu, asked what we liked, and had recommendations for us. The menu is very simple. Nothing fancy on the menu I had the pork steak with beans and rice, very delicious. My wife ordered the burrito rice and beans on the side. I also got some homemade salsa on the side that was habanero it was very hot in a good way! While eating it seemed like we were eating in his home. Service was fantastic. I recommend this hidden gem for great food and service. Very clean environment. The chips and mango salsa was amazing.

First off the fries are very well done and very tasty. The burrito had excellent flavor and tons of cheese which is always super appealing. Also big fan of the side on the dish in little cups as it lets me apply as I want. Overall very satisfying.

Cashier was very friendly and happy to explain which orders come with beer cheese. Once we ordered we had a buzzer to take and it would go off when our order was ready for pickup. Fish taco - Very good, great slaw, good moist fish. Beef Cheddar Crunch taco - classic, wish the chips were flavored but they looked cool. Wraps were nice and soft. Tots and beer cheese was delicious. Tots were well cooked, hot, crispy. Cheese was creamy, had a slight spicy kick. 10/10 if that is what your craving.

It was very colourful and the owner was friendly. Good menu. We picked a few things. i tried the fish tacos, my husband tried the Pastor tacos, and the staff made a simple cheese quesadilla for our daughter. We also ordered two margarita. Food was a bit slow considering we were the only ones there, but we weren't in a rush. Food was good. I found the fish taco batter a little flakey. It just fell apart. However, I loved the hot sauce that is homemade and gave a great seasoning to it. So much so that i bought a bottle of it. It was delicious and probably the highlight. My husband enjoyed his tacos alot and was satisfied with the amount of meat. My kiddo loved her quesadilla. A good side trip if you happen to be in Pigeon lake.
