Excellent food and service. Delightfully colorful atmosphere. The marinated pork options are delicious. All the food tastes freshly prepared. The tres leches cake is outstanding!

Delicious for eating in or taking out. I prefer to eat at this beautiful restaurant if I have the time. As I vegetarian I appreciate the delicious veggie entrees, and the complementary chips and salsa are wonderful!

We went on a Sunday afternoon and had a great experience. It was quiet, great service. We ordered the nachos and the al pastor taco both were delicious. My favorite part was the freshly made corn tortillas. Thats not easy to make it right and I am very picky with it. We also loved the natural juices, especially the spiced mango one. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. if you're craving authentic mexican flavor around Chatman, check it out

A very forgettable meal. Both my wife and I had the same opinion. Nothing but the typical Mexican cuisine you can get anywhere. My Steak Fajita had grizzly bits that was unpleasant. Today, so many Mexican restaurants are really pulling out all the stops to create mouthwatering food. Everything about this dinner was underwhelming. Won’t be back.

Love the atmosphere; colorful, relaxed, comfortable. I had the grilled tilapia that comes with veggies rice and beans. Fish was fresh and delicious. My wife and I had dinner here and I was thinking the setting would be great for families as well. My wife recommends the the chicken quesadillas.

It's like walking into a good friends house. The welcome you receive is like no other. A great big hug envelopes me, like I'm family it feels like. You can feel history surrounding you. It's everywhere. The tables are unique. They all show a piece of a life. Beautiful, simply beautiful. The service is better than when you're mom cook's for you. The food. I've never tasted food so good before in my life. I want to eat every single dish on this menu. They all look so good to me. Im so confused as to what to eat next time I come here. So much variety and diversity. I need to make this my new go to place. It's so great you can have real Mexican Coca-Cola. It's made with real sugar, not the half assed shit you all drink and think is so good. The bathroom is gorgeous and clean. I can't wait to come back again.

The staff were super friendly as we walked in. The waitress said hi and made sure to talk to our toddler when she came over. We were given salsa and chips. The chips were ok, but the salso was not seasoned and tasted like tomato paste.

We ordered chicken tenders and fries for our toddler while my wife got birria tacos and I the birria tortas. Both my wife and I agreed the birria sauce was OK but lacked alot of seasonings or even heat. The birria meat was good better with the rest of the torta toppings.

The mango smoothie was the best thing here. Very sweet and refreshing.

Overall it was good for a quick stop to eat.
