The owner waits table and prepares the food. He needs a waitress to make the experience better. We would go back again

Excellent place! Stopped here for lunch and don’t regret it for a second. Good (that’s the name of the gentleman who runs the place) is good!

We were in town for one night, and this was one of two options for dinner. This was a highly disappointing meal. My wife had some sort of burrito and I had Chile Colorado. Both were served as giant portions on 500 degree plates, but with absolutely no flavor. This was the blandest “Mexican” food I have ever tasted. If I had it to do over again, I’d try the place across the street or just eat nothing at all.

The food was bland and tasteless. Products from Sysco warmed up in a microwave? The food was bad the last time we went. We hoped it would be better. If anything, it was worse. The service was great. The food arrived fast. But it was expensive! To the point that you just end up hating yourself the next morning for breaking down and going back there. Even the salsa was just watery. Grocery store salsa is exponentially better.

This is a fun and unique place to eat out. They serve quality homemade food with a traditional Mexican restaurant atmosphere. Food is fresh and made to order. They offer a full service bar a large variety menu with something for everyone. This restaurant has a small town at home, feel, and taste. Stop in if you love some fresh quality food and drinks.

There isn't much flavor in the meats (shredded beef, hamburger, or chicken) pretty bland for Mexican. Fernando is great
