Cozy, clean, and as soon as I walked thru the door... greetings from multiple staff. Lots of great dishes to choose from. I had the Beef Enchalada, and a Grilled Chicken Crispy Taco. Mech time I'll add 3 Grilled Chicken Crispy Tacos... FANTASTIC!!!

Absolutely delicious!!! Ordered the Chile Verde and the Chile Colorado. The meat was so fall apart tender in both dishes. So tasty! Generous portions, too! Too enough home for a leftover meal! Service was excellent! Friendly and accommodating! Will definitely mark this as a must-stop next time we travel through the area.

A hidden gem! Stopped in on a road trip through the area and was very pleasantly surprised by the totally delicious food for very good prices and the really nice atmosphere -- sat in the outdoor patio by the burbling waterfall fountain, despite being a hot day (86+) it was cool and comfortable. Very much recommend!

Went on after long day for carry out order. Inside was bubbling with activity for the dinner crowd. Other people were outside enjoying their meals on the patio.Very Friendly server helped me. Order was made quickly.Came with hot chips and salsa. Yum. Got home and the burrito was delicious. It was a wet chicken burrito. They made it HUGE. There was so much chicken. Big dollops of sour cream and pico de Gallo on the side. Taste was authentic and all fresh made. Actually made for two meals.Would absolutely recommend and return again.

I am surprised to see the bad review of this restaurant. We have been going for Mexican food there for the last 4 years almost once a week. My favorite is a Taco Salad made with their Pork Chile Verde or a Taco made with the Pork Chile Verde. The Fahitas are very good too. My husband enjoys the beef enchiladas. The service is excellent and they do remember you when you come in.

Great service and food. All the staff are super attentive and helpful. Ask for the Diablo salsa - it is the best! Their regular salsa and black bean dip they serve when seated are both great too. Chicken tacos are loaded with delicious shredded chicken. We love to sit outside and listen to the water features.

Stopped by going through town and glad we did. Food was delicious and in very large portions! Waitress was quite sweet and attentive. Clean and cool dining area.

I asked for beef street tacos and they said they don't have them. Instead, they offered another type of beef tacos. See picture. You wouldn't know what kind of tacos they were because they were covered with tons of lettuces. And when I bit into it, it was a big chunk of dry, bland meat covered with lettuces and cheese. Yuck!!! Worst beef tacos I've ever tasted in my life! Never again will I get my Mexican food from this place.

Stopped at this place while passing through town. This is quite honestly the worst Mexican food I've ever had! On top of that the inside was disgusting, dirty, grimmy tables and walls. How this place has 4 stars is beyond me. People around here either can't cook or don't know what good food is. Pass this place up!

We're picky when it comes to our Mexican food... and this place is top notch! Authentic Mexican with a wonderful wait staff and huge portions. I always take my leftovers home and have lunch the day. Even our picky 3yr old loves their bean dip and rice. So nice to have a local place we can come and enjoy!

I ordered green enchiladas... turn out to be great! However, vodka cranberry watered down. Overall a great experience and will be back.
