“Welp w a google review?😂 seriously tho, I've been hearing about Ramses for awhile but for whatever reason never could get there and Well I finally did and so Glad I did!! First and foremost, when ppl that work there get excited about the food, then you know you're gonna be Alrite. :) shout outs to the young man that said he orders surf and turf every shift he works and every one that wirks there period. Everyone was super nice. I appreciate your enthusiasm cause I had to order surf n turf it after hearing your excitement. You were right sir! Let me start by saying fresh ingredients, yes even the rice gets love here , with the right amount of cummin. The meats,the salsa and salad.. All fresh! And though they only gave me one slice of lime(really, one???) I realized i was one of the last orders cause it was close to 130am so I can't complaint. Again, worth a late night trip. Shouts out to the workers there cause they made it fun and the cooks made the food so delicious... Will def be back. Pro tip: get drinks at their sister bar next door and order food to go 😉 sum o y'all kno whats up already!“

“I had the Mexican supreme it was very good with plenty of food. I rate it at 4/5, the enchiladas were perfect, I added a small amount of salt to the rice. The tostada was soft due to being placed directly on the rice. If I order this meal next time I'll request for the tostada to be set on another plate to maintain its crispiness. The total was $24.47“

“My son was never in daycare before so headstart was his first time away from me all day.I must say this was an absolute wonderful experience!My son and I LOVED this place so much, his teacher Mrs. Salinas was so very patient with him, and he learned so much from her. I loved the communication to help my son adjust to school routine and school behavior.I'm sad that he will not be here next year. It's hard to find a great teacher and teachers assistant, and it's sad when your child has to move on to the next grade.Thank you Mrs Salinas and ALL of Casa Grande for building my son's educational foundation. I surely won't forget any of you and thank you for making a huge difference in these kids lives. You all give your whole heart and all your love and it truly shows?My son will miss you and honestly so will I. ?“

We got nichos with cheese and steak as an apetizer. The. We got a torta and a hige chicken taco which name I cannot remember. We were also served charro beans in the beginning. Everything came out to forty something dollars. Everything taste good including the drinks. What I also like is that they close until 10pm and they only close Sundays. When ever I go pick up my sister and brother in lawn at the harlingen airport we go eat st Taqueria Jalisco.“
