Leaving this pending a discussion with the owner over an incident that happened tonight with our food order. Will update review after conversation.
Really great take out that we had. The steak entrée is a bit spicy due to the jalapenos, but it was cooked very well for a take out order. The tinga chimichanga was also fabulous as well as the chips and guac. I would definitely order from this place again.
My family and I ordered delivery and the food was very flavorful. However, there was not a lot of meat in the dishes. I got a steak dish marinated in jalapeño. That was very good, spicy, but good. additionally, we got the meat nachos, but that was not.

I really loved coming here up until the last few months.. the food is always pretty good no complaints there however I won't be coming here anymore because I don't feel like giving my hard earned money to someone that is so blatantly rude & outright disrespectful. Her name is Dulce & she ALWAYS (I mean every single time I've dealt with her) is a straight up *****. That's the ONLY word that can be used to describe her. I called today legitimately 2 minutes (5:54 &5:56) after placing my order because I forgot to ask to put the sauce on the side. (I'm pregnant & although I really like the sauce it's just too much for me lately unfortunately) anyway she answers the phone miserable as usual & I apologize for the inconvenience & explain why I'm calling. She SNAPS at me & says 'the chicken quesadilla doesn't come with any sauce what are you talking about?' I was taken aback but I kept my cool & said umm well I always get the same thing & it comes with this spicy southwest sauce I believe it's called I'll pay extra just please put it to the side.She SIGHS super loud & says 'idk if I can do that I have to ask my manager' I say I'm sure you can easily modify the order simply by telling your kitchen staff I've been in there & seen staff do just that for other customers. Her' like I SAID I HAVE to ask my manager & they're not in front of me right now so you can call back in 5 minutes I'm busy w/customers' Me oh ok i understand that I'm driving & I don't mind holding however I'm sure the order will be made already & I just want to make sure that doesn't happen but I'm on my way there so I guess(then she rudely interrupted me)her 'idk what to tell you it don't have sauce on it I don't have time for this' & hangs up in my face. Come to find out she was in the bathroom when she answered the phone & tells me this song & dance about someone calling out. I say to her 'News flash no one cares. I work in a very busy bar & customers don't want to hear that it's not their problem it's yours. Period. I understand that people are rude & annoying but you made the situation into a whole issue for no reason. A simple "yes I'll put sauce on the side but it may be an extra charge" also what possessed you to think it would be a good idea to tell a paying customer in a RESTAURANT that you were in the bathroom on the phone??Im sure you washed your hands but did you wipe down the phone??' She also then made a rude comment about me in Spanish. Her girl just a little advice don't be so quick to judge a book by it's cover I may not LOOK Spanish but sweetie I'm half Puerto Rican. Also don't assume 'white girls' don't understand you you know what you said. Shame on you. And shame on the 'manager' who didn't speak any English & seemed to think it was hilarious. Not sure how a manager doesn't understand/speak English in a town like Shelton where there are people of ALL nationalities here. This is an ongoing theme with this girl 2 weeks prior she accused me of 'lying' when I said I didn't get my juice which Ive gotten EVERY SINGLE TIME I go there but I was so aggravated with her nasty attitude I didn't bother ordering it. By the way : my quesadilla was so DRENCHED in sauce it was soggy & I couldn't even eat it & my fiancés burrito was 'the worst he's ever had since going there' according to him. Where is the other girl that's ALWAYS extremely extremely sweet & friendly?? We were going there at least 2xs a week but slowed down because of nasty attitude; lately it's been every other week now we're not going back. The owner needs to humble this girl & make her realize there are MANY other people that'll gladly take her place & not treat people like we're interrupting

Love this place. This is my go to Mexican restaurant. The food is so delicious and authentic. The tinga quesadilla, al pastore chimichanga, and the churros are to die for.

Have been going to this restaurant for a year or so now, food was great as far as flavor, service, and portions. Never had an issue. Got a "steak sandwich" and this is what I received.. awful. I will not be returning. I put a very small cheddar goldfish in the picture for size comparison. One little small piece of "Steak" on a very small roll.
