This place is great. Good people, good food, and their chips and salsa are killer. I would give them a solid 5 stars on their food but they stopped making the tortillas fresh. They need to go back to that because it was awesome. Rey the big lava stone dish thing...it's called something that starts with Mochal..a.Parking: Large free parking lot. There is always plenty of space.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and the restaurant decor is very fun with paintings of horses...read full review

Excellent authentic Mexican food. The chips and salsa were good and the inclusion of refried beans was a pleasant surprise. I had the fajita nachos, which were delicious but not the best test of a kitchen. However, all ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Prices were reasonable also. Can't wait to go back and try the enchiladas or tamales. Service was a little slow, but there seemed to be only one server.

Three of us had a late lunch here. The server was great and the food great. I particularly liked the refried beans. How often do you take note of the beans? A small dish of these came out with the chips - excellent! We also hat a flight of margaritas- they were tasty and each one was a full drink.
