It’s fine but certainly not 4.5 stars as the average suggests.
We got a palanque platter and some enchiladas with mole. The platter had skirt steak that was well seasoned but overcooked to the point of being jerky, it was overloaded with cheese in a way that wasn’t pleasant, and the chili relleno had next to no stuffing.
The mole was cloyingly sweet and not developed at all.
The churros were ok but not very fresh.

First time here after moving to a new town. Service was fast and friendly. The food came in 5 minutes as it should from a real Mexican restaurant. The prices were about average. The portions were about average. All together, we will be going back to KEAL.

My other half had a wet burrito. It was good but somehow a little on the cold side. All the sauces were wonderful and the staff were great. I would definitely go back.
