Hadn’t been here in nearly 30 years, we moved to Seattle, but back for vacation. Had to have the Cancun platter. Just like I remembered!!

I have been one of their customers since I was about 16 years old. 45 years of great food, drink and service! My favorite is probably the D-4 ( one enchilada and two tacos) but I order it as a D-4 Reversed: two enchiladas, one taco. I always have a cheese enchilada, a Chile verde enchilada and a crispy shell ground beef taco ( with the taco served on a separate plate.) Also have the Cole slaw served on a separate plate. The food is excellent as always. The service is wonderful...read full review
