Chile relleno was tough and hardly eat

If you like Mexican food, you won’t want to eat here, even if desperate. Their salsas are basic and off flavor. The refried beans must be out of a can, and the chips are tasteless. What’s sad is that it’s been this way for over a decade. Nobody seems to care or know how to prepare good Mexican food. Better options down the road.

I went in and ordered, but customers who arrived after me got their food first. The server checked on their tables twice, but never once came to check on mine. When I finished eating, it took a long time just to get my check — I had to go up to the cashier myself while the others who arrived later were already done and paid. When I asked, the staff only said bigger groups get priority. On top of that, the food wasn’t very good and lacked authentic flavor. Overall, disappointing experience, and I won’t be returning.
One of our favorite places! Good food and good people. Thank you!

Paid 18.00 for 1 bean, rice and cheese burrito. Never again! They are way to expensive.

We went on a very busy night. Start of a Holiday weekend. The staff seemed to handle the crowd well. Our servers did a fine job. I had a shrimp meal. It was edible. That’s about it. Since I hadn’t eaten all day it was eaten. However.. the shrimp were so over cooked they were unrecognizable! The tails were the only thing that identified them. Terrible chewy bites. Ok. I did eat it. First time there. Never again. The other three in our party did not complain.
Worst payment system ever, horrible employees, bad food. Worst ever would avoid at all costs.

I don't know how this place works but everytime we need a refill or something , we have to call our server in the other room where the staffs were just there chit chatting while customers were in the same room with us. mind you , we were only 5 customers at that time.
The food is typical nothing really special and so is the ambiance.
Will we comeback here in the future if we happen to visit the area, i don't think so.

Stopped by to order a couple chimichangas for takeout - the tables were mostly full. The waitress was super friendly and told me about 20 minutes. My order was ready by the time I made it to the Big Trees market and back. The food was great - spot on for Mexican comfort food

Excellent, authentic food and good service. The chile rellenos were so good I came back and tried the enchilada del mar the next night - both delicious
