Customer Reviews
Really delicious food with great service and a wonderful atmosphere. I had the baja fish tacos, and they came out very crispy and flavorful. They came out with a side of rice and beans, and the salsa was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was very clean and festive. Staff went out of their way to make sure we got everything we needed. The waitress gave us complimentary dessert (OMG, the churros are amazing), and extra salsa and chips to go. HIGHLY recommend. One of the best Mexican places in town.
We went to lunch toward the end of a snowstorm. Wait staff gave us all the time we needed to choose our meals - which was good because the menu is huge with a lot to choose from. My daughter loved her fajita taco salad, and my other daughter finished it. My carne asada and the pollo loco were also both delicious. We also got the sample platter, which was less to our liking/personal taste, but still very good and the presentation was excellent. All in all a great experience.
Service was amazing!! I always ask for extra sour cream at places. Our server came over just to make sure they put enough on there for my liking which was very much appreciated! And was on top of taking plates, refilling drinks, and making sure we were doing good! Food was super good! I ordered chicken burrito special and the chicken was flavorful. Got food extremely fast! This is gonna be one of our go to from now on!
There used to be a different restaurant in the same location. The food was nice. Not overly expensive but not memorable. It's a convenient location by hotels. Probably not my first choice to dine at if i stayed in this area again. Had the steak tacos.
Very Nice Restaurant Decor! Nice Location! But the Food wasn’t IT! The Chips Was COLD & Not To Fresh! Groc Was Fake Cold From the Store! Not Freshly Made! I Had the Chicken Soup! COLD FULL OF CHICKEN & GREASE NO Veggies just SALSA TOSSED INSIDE THE SOUP! WITH A TON OF RICE!! DEFINITELY NOT The MEXICAN SOUP I WAS Looking Forward TO!! I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD! But this Place is a WRAP FOR ME.. Even the Drink was FULL OF SYRUP!!
