First time visit for dinner, had a nice booth to enjoy dinner. Friendly waitress. My husband had some burritos special that had chorizo and chicken and it was really really good. I did a combination, great portions. Salsa was perfect chips a little thick. The guacamole was a little wet but it was still very good.

Update: Dine-in 3/11/25 We went to the restaurant, around 1:30 pm, only customers, no wait. Service was average, the food was ok. The spinach dip still too watery, and this batch was salty, too. Delivery: We ordered delivery from El Cantarito. The steak in the Grilled Steak Nachos were very dry. The dip was a bit watery, but it tasted okay overall.

Ordered cheese enchiladas and a side of black beans. Had it delivered by door dash. They promptly delivered. It was the worst Mexican meal I have ever had Enchiladas were wrapped in tortillas that must have been left over from the day before. They were dry and curled up on the ends. There was virtually no enchilada sauce. The only good parts of the meal were the rice and the fresh avocado. The black beans were bland. It was as though the just opened a can of beans and heated them up.I could have done that and saved theextra

We ate dinner on a weeknight. We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. I had a taco salad and it was very good. I really enjoyed it. Everything tasted very fresh. Their chips and salsa were good. Chips were warm and crunchy and the salsa had some spice to it - I would say medium. My husband and I shared a very large margarita. The glass was salted. Service was great and friendly.
