The chicken enchiladas are amazing. Get them with Diablo sauce. Unreal.

We were a big group and they accommodated. Service and food were good enough to want to go back again.

The best home-style Mexican food around. The chips are made fresh at the restaurant, and the salsa is flavorful with just the right amount of spicy heat! My favorite dish is the Chile Relleno plate with a shredded beef crunchy taco on the side. The beans and rice are delicious as well. It tastes just like grandma cooked it—it's that good!

This place has been a staple in my family for decades. We grew up eating here several times a week, easily. It's amazing.

The food was reused and they tell us we can't split the check. They also have no free refills and the waiting staff is mostly mostly men.

The salsa was tasty and had just a little kick. The shredded beef burrito was also tasty and a good sized. 👍

I ate all but the last 3 inches of the burrito and added some of the salsa to each bite. In retrospect, I should have asked for them to add onion because it was just the shredded beef and refried beans inside it. At least it didn't have rice.

First time there. Went with my sister and her kids.
Food was great. Service was so-so. It wasn't as loud as expected.
Would love to take my kids there some day.
Their complimentary chips and salsa isn't free refill and they give the same amount of chips whether there's 2 people or 4 people. They charge extra for refills.
