Both locations are awesome. Service is exceptional, food is the same. Prices are fair. Eat local. Pay cash. Everyone wins except the big companies

We were traveling back home from Ohio and looked up good eateries and decided to stop here. It was such a good experience, truly friendly attentive waitstaff and the food was above and beyond our expectations! Clean, beautiful bathrooms, and a nice atmosphere as well. We were very happy with this place!Dietary restrictions: I just made sure to order corn shells instead of flour tortillas with mine for my gluten sensitivity which I'm used to doing and it works great

Great Mexican place. Has all the usual taco and fajitas. But we tried Del Mar, which is slightly more unique. It tastes great. Servers were very nice too.I would say it is $20-30 per person.Reading others’ reviews and checking my receipt I see that they did do a 3% surcharge, probably for the credit card.Kid-friendliness: Has high chair

Our food was good and our server Pepe was even better! He always takes great care of us and he makes sure I get my side of grilled jalapenos! Thank you, Pepe! We'll be back!
My husband and I each ordered a lunch special. He loved his meal (Burrito Zacatekas). I tasted it, and it was quite good. Unfortunately I didn't really like my meal. I ordered an enchilada lunch, and it only came with one enchilada for $11.19. I often order a similar meal at other restaurants for less, and it always comes with two enchiladas. Also, my enchilada (chicken) and guacamole salad were just too salty for me. The black beans were tasty, though. They also give you plenty of warm chips with salsa for no extra charge, which is nice. There is an extra 3% charge for using a credit card.
Thank you Papa for making our mom's birthday so special! She loved the food and your hospitality.
