My husband was happy with his Szechwan chicken and I went for the vegan bowl. My vegan ramen bowl was good, but it needed more veggies and tofu and it lacked spice. Service was good and honestly in an area where a lot of food leans bland, this place stands out a bit. But here is where it lost me. It is not authentic and does not really try to be. My veggie egg rolls had that unmistakable frozen straight from the box vibe. One bite and yeah... confirmed. The hot tea came in a gas station style cup with a Walmart tea bag. It was big, sure, but not exactly restaurant level. Would I come back? If I was starving, yes. Otherwise I tried it once and I am good.

A second trailer just like is on the Lovington Highway near Green Meadows Park. I always go for the #15 shrimp fried rice ($14). Their fried rice is the best in town. The amount of shrimp is fairly decent. I came kind of an off hour at close to 3 PM, so the food probably wasn't the freshest, but it was still really tasty. The shrimp is a bit overcooked. Takeout boxes come with an egg roll, fork, napkins, and condiments. Service is always fantastic. The guy who was at this trailer is often at the Pandita Express #2 trailer.

I should have looked more carefully at the menu, but I have never been to a less vegetarian friendly Mexican food place. I ordered a Paloma and it was the worst I have ever had. It tasted like it had no alcohol at all. The place is tiny, and then they had a band coming to play. It was vibrating the entire building. My teeth were rattling. The music itself would have been pleasant if it wasn't eardrum shattering. My husband liked his drink. The service was fine, although there was a communication barrier, I blame myself and not the waitress. I think that's about it. It was also not cheap like others are commenting. This was a big fat fail. Let me add - per my Apple Watch, the decibel level got up to 107 db, and 10+ mins over 95 can damage your hearing! I've been to plenty of places with live music, but never anything that incredibly loud. There were really young kids in there, too!

It's quite sad that you go to a place that the food is really good, yet you don't feel welcomed. A successful restaurant does everything above and beyond and when you're spending at least $20/entree, the service should be in line with the quality of the food. The TVs are tacky and it seemed that the only person watching them was the cashier. It's weird that they don't give you a check prior to paying. It's also very cramped. The tables are small, which doesn't leave much room for drinks, appetizers, and your food. The Sam's Club cheese cake is really good, but definitely not worth $7 a slice, when you can buy the whole cheese cake at Sam's for $15. This place is a 4 star place, yet the service is bad, almost terrible.

The waitress who served us was wonderful, friendly, attentive, and incredibly kind to our dog. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were generous. The only negative part of the evening had nothing to do with the restaurant. A man seated next to us spent much of dinner being rude and entitled, repeatedly questioning how the salmon was prepared, criticizing the wine list, and generally acting unpleasant toward the staff. The blonde waitress with glasses handled the situation with impressive patience and professionalism. Honestly, it took restraint not to say something myself. She did a fantastic job dealing with a very difficult customer and deserves recognition for it.

The inside could benefit from acoustical panel treatment. Ordered the 8 oz filet; HEAVILY seasoned with a traditional steak salt/pepper blend but it was overkill and completely washed out the taste of the actual filet. Not worth $45. Caesar and mashed potatoes were great. The bow-tie penne pasta dish with shrimp was a good value in comparison and enjoyed by my wife. The calamari appetizer with the vegetables was also excellent. Service was average and not overly attentive to empty glasses or what was no longer available in the menu (crab cakes) until the order was placed. Outside seating looked nice / quiet but they had zero outdoor heaters you would normally see in an outdoor venue in the fall and winter.

My very tired hiking partner restored her energy with a delicious dinner entree of flautas. We each really loved our meals and not just because we were operating on starvation mode! My enchiladas were stuffed full of Mexican cheese and were well covered with tasty red and green salsas.
