I like that they give you refried beans with their chips and salsa. Food is okay. Service is quick.

I ordered the pollo plate, and it was one of the most disappointing meals I’ve had in a long time. The chicken was supposed to be grilled, but it came out dry, flavorless, and oddly tough, almost like it had been reheated instead of freshly cooked. There was no seasoning, no char, no real taste at all — just bland, rubbery chicken. The rice was mushy and bland, while the beans were thin and watery with zero flavor. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place!!!!!

We went around 1 on a Saturday and it was really chill. It looks like they have a good evening showing and events for their bar type atmosphere. We were a little worried if it was actually open, but it ended up being great! Food was super tasty. The Chipotle shrimp was yummy! Great flavor and the beans were super good.

Prices were a bit high for lunch.Only one lunch special and it wasn't posted except on signage outside. Had to work hard for eye contact for follow up needs after order was taken. Will not go out of my way to go there again.

Let's start by saying, I have never seen another customer here. I think I am the only one who eats here. The waitress says they get super busy and have karaoke on the weekend, I went at what would be peak time. Still saw nobody but the staff.

This is not a bad thing, it makes me feel special like it's my own hidden gem. I love the plate that has the steak, enchilada, and chili rellano. Also their salsa is fantastic, they really season it well so it is fresh and garlicky. Yum!

I am shocked by the number of good reviews of this place. The only positive thing I can say is the waitress was kind. Otherwise, it is all negatives. We ordered a chicken quesadilla, guacamole, and a carne asada burrito. The quesadilla first came out with cheese only. This was corrected, but when we tasted it, it was the most bland food item I’ve tasted in a long time. The chicken was definitely taken from a Fred Meyer rotisserie chicken… The sour cream was clearly watered down too. The burrito was even worse. Absolutely no flavor at all. The food was just a waste of calories. Not to mention, both items were $15+. The guacamole was $12 and was barely larger than a shot glass. Also, watery. Even the water tasted bad, like it came from the melted ice of a cooler. There are some places that should just not stay in business and this is certainly one of them. Please do not make our mistake and go literally anywhere else.

The food was Authentic and WONDERFUL. The owners are really nice. At times there is live music.
I had Enchiladas with the green sauce and my husband had Mulitas. Wish they were closer to my home as I would be there more often! Next time we are in Tacoma we will go have lunch there again!

Oh my god….. Not gonna lie, I wanted Harvest Buffet, it was packed so we came here. Best decision I ever made. Opened door to go in and thought maybe they were closed , but they weren’t, and I had the best meal I’ve eaten in a long time. Authentic and filling. I will be a regular.
