★★★☆☆ 3.0 Eric Sneider · Feb 2026

This restaurant is pretty good overall. Been here twice. Food was pretty good but Chile Relleno is one of my favorite dishes, and this place does not do them well at all. The pepper they allegedly roast for stuffing in this dish came out both times as firm and unsoftened as a raw poblano. Bit of a deal-breaker for me.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Abby · Feb 2026

The food is good but the service is god awful. The server will forget about you. They ignore u for a solid 10 minutes. They’re nice enough but just very forgetful and kinda rude lmao

★★★★★ 5.0 Jenni Asciolla · Sep 2024

Excellent ambiance, food and service Bonnie was awesome! I had three tacos and chiles toreados, house margarita. This place is simple, classic and delicious. Excellent tasting meats and the torta is gigantic!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Christian H. · Feb 2026

Second time coming here but both visits were the same outcome. VERY SLOWWWWW SERVICE! Takes them 30 mins just to take your order then after you finally receive you food you won't be seeing anyone else come to your table to check in or do refills. Food was a disappointment but even more disappointing when I came to the comment section to leave this rating and saw multiple other reviews have pics of roaches being in their food! Don't believe me scroll down and look for yourself. So full blown roaches in people's food multiple times. Makes me wish I would of checked my food out good Before eating... won't be back again that's for sure. 2 times of being horrible service and 2 star food is good enough for me

First time visit... it wasn't busy but there wasn't a host for greeting and seating. After a few minutes, someone came. After being seated, service went well. The chips and salsa were bland but the rest of the food was really good.
