Nice typical small town Mexican restaurant. The adios amigos was good (pictured)

Slow service and by far the worst Mexican food in Washington state. Salsa is bland, my carne asada tacos were well done and dry, my date's chicken fajitas looked like the chicken was Rotisserie from costco.

Not sure what’s going on with jalapeño service. Walked in tonight and stood there for about 10 minutes. Nobody helped me. Get better.

Absolutely fantastic lunch! We ordered steak fajitas, a beef chimi smothered in queso & chorizo, tacos al pastor, and a halibut burrito. Everything was cooked to perfection and our server (Chauncy) was GREAT! She was polite, attentive, and very knowledgeable on the menu. She really seemed to enjoy being there with us!

Terrible food. Great service and great atmosphere. I wanted to love the food, unfortunately, there was NOTHING to love about the food. I ordered the chicken fajitas, which is something I have ordered at every single mexican restaurant in Whatcom County. Never have I had chicken fajitas like this before...it seemed to me like a large frozen tyson chicken breast, that was grilled and cut into large strips, with no seasoning, and no flavor whatsoever.

Note to the chef: Fajita seasoning typically includes a blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

There was literally NOTHING on my chicken breast strips. Not even salt. It was GROSS.

My wife ordered the Tacos Al Carbon. Same thing, seemed like super low grade meat, with no seasoning, no flavor.

This is a restaurant, charging restaurant prices, serving food that you expect to be much better then food you can cook at home.

In this case, the food we got was worse then any food we even make at home.

I saw other reviews saying the same thing. Which shows the customers are right in this case. I suggest the owners/chefs take heed! Season your food. Order a higher quality of meat, not frozen, not low grade. Once this takes place, the restaurant should do ok. Until then...I would not recommend eating here.

UPDATE** I got incredibly sick later this night from the food. Will never be going back

Really delicious food but very large portions. One dish could easily feed two people depending on how much you can put away. The staff was very kind and attentive, they also are allergy friendly and were able to warn me that my order contained more dairy than I thought and adjusted my order accordingly. I definitely will be coming back.

Busy with a large group late at night. Food was good, but lots of mix ups. Serviced members tried really hard to make it right.

I have never had bland Mexican food before. The salsa was like plain tomato paste and water. The steak and shrimp chimichanga was as big as my head but it was all rice. Please stop trying to feed a football team and give me a better meal. This was also bland.

We went on a weekday lunch and choose from the lunch menu. The lunch menu has a limited selection but still out was varied and had several items I could have chosen. I had the Carne Asada Tacos. Theft normally are corn tacos but they changed then to flour door me.

The food was better than average for Mexican restaurant in Washington and portions good. I will definitely return for lunch.

They didn’t let us go to the balcony because it was “being pressure washed.” Saw several groups up there despite the fact. Food was good but margaritas not so much.
