My chicken chimichanga was folded into a square and was exponentially small. I just wanted the chimichanga for lunch so I didn't get rice or beans or lettuce or Pico, and I was still charged 8.50 for the whole meal even though I didn't get the whole dinner plate I ordered a small lunch. With a drink I'll add. The drink was huge, the tea did NOT have a pungent after taste like stale tea tends to so thats good. Their queso dip was off. It seemed to be just hot cheese and heavy cream. No mixed green pepper like other places. Their salsa had kinda too much cilantro imo some ppl like that though. My chimichanga was so small I was still hungry afterward. I guess I should've just got what I paid for lol. I probably won't come back here, which is a bummer bc I live in ooltewah. And I needed this diner for its location. STEP IT UP.Also the hostesses and servers kinda made me feel awkward. The whole time. Their English was okay so it wasn't that, it was just awkward. I felt kinda judged and idk just judged for picking up a single order alone as a woman. It was just strange lol

Comfortable little storefront restaurant. Good food. Great place to stop after church on Sunday. The taco salad was a great choice. And they always have a great margarita.

I sat and watch the waitress scoop the sour cream I asked them to hold off my food and bring me the same plate back. Like nothing was wrong. Will never be back.

Good looking restaurant but service was terrible. If you order a drink better get the big one because they won't be back. I had to hunt down waiter for check just so I could leave. I won't be back and don't recommend you go either. Totally a waste of time and money.

Food was cold, and I'm honestly surprised we didn't get food poisoning from this place. The first time we tried to go the whole place smelled like sewage so we left. The second time the food was so bad we won't be taking a 3rd chance here.

My family and I had dinner here this evening for the first time. Very delicious experience. My picky daughter finished all her food for the first time at a Mexican restaurant ever. My husband tried something new, Enchiladas Suizas and found a new favorite. The chips they bring were fresh and warm and the salsa was delicious with just the right amount of heat for everyone. Clean environment, friendly service, great menu choices and really good food at affordable prices.We all agreed this is our new favorite Mexican restaurant.

Yum, yum o'le!!Being from Oklahoma Tex-Mex if my favorite. Though real Mexican cuisine is much preferred. This restaurant is best I've found in the Chattanooga/Ooltewah area. O'le!

Tacos were juicy just the right amount of oregano perfection my first authentic chilie relleno done right since I moved here the fresh style of food reminds me of California style all homemade sauces fresh herbs my husband had the EL Maguey special large shrimp huge steak chicken breast bright problano peppers asorted veggies and to top it off shredded pork at the bottom there's no way one person can eat the whole pot they serve it in the food would easily survive in a high end atmosphere hands down im from the west coast thank you for your restaurant I now have somewhere to go!
