    Chimichanga
    Rohit G.

    I was craving Mexican food and was recommended this place by a local, and I was blown away. Best Mexican place I have been to, even including the Houston ones. ATMOSPHERE: I came for lunch on a weekday and this place was POPPIN' (a testament to how good it is!). I had a 20 min wait. The inside is pretty typical and was clean. FOOD: So good. I got a chicken chimichanga. The chicken was what really separated this place for me: it was so flavorful and seasoned perfectly! The chimichanga was smothered in sauce and melty cheese but this only complemented the flavor of the chicken. SERVICE: Pretty good. It look some time for the food to come out and for a waiter to come by to check on our table, but given how busy it was I definitely understood. PRICE/VALUE: So much food for a really reasonable price. Having leftovers was great though. Overall, such a good choice for Mexican food. Even though there may be a wait, it is well worth it to try this place.

    Nachos or Botanas

    Was in the mood for good Mexican food. A guy from the hotel suggested this restaurant. So we went, and holy smoke, you better show up hungry! First of all the place was packed, which is always a good sign. The staff was great and friendly and the food service was excellent. The place was clean, great atmosphere and well priced. I suggest the super nachos/botanas which would really feed four. Definitely hitting this place up again in the near future.

    Very good service. Food is good, not great but filling and very fast considering the crowd and polite. Some of the more flavorful rice I've had here in the valley. Enough for lunch and dinner.

    Had been here before for lunch never for breakfast and I was really surprised on how packed this restaurant gets. The food is good service can me a little better but it's understandable due to the amount of people that go for breakfast. I'm a coffee drinker and not sure what happens but the coffee didn't taste that good in my opinion. Food was really good and the amount is more than enough. I had the chilaquiles with chicken and scrambled eggs and red salsa very very good. My in laws and husband had the rio grande plate which consist of egg Barbacoa , a cup of menudo and potatoes. They really enjoyed that they were able to have a variety of food. The downside of this restaurant is that the parking is really small and since it's close to the hospital there are a lot of people. If you do not mind waiting for a table this is a good restaurant to have a good Mexican breakfast.

If you're not looking for this place or haven't been here, you may not find it because it is somewhat hidden from the road. Outside you wonder if it's a restaurant. Inside - different story. It's a bit small but very comfortable both in size and atmosphere. We tried their breakfast taco plate which actually has 3 tacos and beans or potatoes. The tortillas are phenomenal - some of the best we've ever eaten! The tacos are much larger than most breakfast tacos and they come like a taco - not the traditional south Texas breakfast taco that others think is a burrito. We tried potato egg and cheese, bacon egg and cheese and sausage egg and cheese. All of them were very good and you can tell everything is made fresh. The refried beans were good - some decent flavor - not the best I've had, but way better than a lot that I've had. The salsa was good - not very 'spicy' but not bad either. Both the quality and the freshness - and definitely the tortillas - will have U.S. coming back again!

We finally ordered--only to receive chicken fajitas instead of beef. Sent them back, waited again. Strike two. When the corrected order arrived? The fajitas were completely bland. No seasoning. The sweetbread--crispy on the outside, yes--but equally flavorless. And then we realized they'd forgotten the beans entirely. Those charro beans? The most tasteless I've ever had in my life. Strike three. The ambiance was nice (though overpriced for a mall spot), but the food was a shadow of what I experienced here a year ago. Such a shame--Mexican cuisine should sing with spice and care. This was a silent, disappointing echo.

This place is on the mid range prices for food, but the staffing and environment makes up for it. Truly enjoyed our appetizers, chorizoqueso, where the waitress mixed it up for us and served each one of us at the table on our choosing of flour or corn tortillas. Personally enjoy the corn but they're both great As the entree, went with Tacos Matamoros and they did not disappoint. On portions and taste it was great.
