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.

To start, we showed up at closing time with a party of 6. We asked if they would serve us, and they…read moregraciously said yes! The staff was extremely kind and took our drink order. 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. After a few minutes of looking at their large menu, we made our selections, and not long after, our food came out. Everything was soo good. I snapped a few photos. Overall, it was a great stop that was friendly to our large group and took good care of us even though they were closing.

The reviews were solid so we called in an order about 30 mins before we were going to arrive in Del Norte. The location is right off the main road. We got there and the food was ready and hot. We opted to eat right then and the server couldn't have been nicer! I have a couple enchiladas aficionados. One ordered chicken with red sauce and the other cheese with Christmas. The green sauce was tomatillo based, and a perfect compliment to the red. Both plates came with rice and beans that were devoured in 10 mins. My kid and I shared the carne asada plate and loved every bite. The meat was tender and it came with beans, rice, guacamole and tortillas (corn or flour). There's a salsa bar with a few different types of salsas that were great to add to our asada bites. I'm thankful we made the choice to try them. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean. We will be stopping everytime we drive thru!

Good amount of steak that is seasoned perfectly and cooked just as well. The pico I can tell is fresh with great flavor my only downside is the guac is very liquidy and I think it's just avocados mix mixed with some sort of juice other than that, I would definitely recommend taking a look at this place

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.
