“ Really delicious Mexican with savory flavors and solid portions for the price. I had the Mole Enchiladas which are the darker Poblano style mole and they were excellent. I had a taste of the beef burrito and chicken enchilada combo and some of the Arroz con pollo and they were equally good. Service was great. The interior is no frills rustic Mexican, but bright and open. ”
“ Sized meals cleaned my plate I left full and stayed full I had the combo birras plate brother chile relleno plate and the other bro had the three enchiladas plate. They have a good menu selection as a kid's menu. There is Menudo served here, a Mexican Street drink that's delicious. Great new family-owned and operated Mexican Restaurant highly recommend will be back again in the short future ”
“ This restaurant is great--ONLY because they have new owners! The female (wish I could remember her name) is so friendly. I have only been in a few times under new ownership and she remembers me every time. I really used to dislike this restaurant, as the previous owner was very up and down with her moods. Especially when she belittled my son and lectured him about what he ordered.... The only employee I liked there was her nephew (I think?) he was hilarious and friendly. Anyways, the restaurant has new owners. If you had a bad experience in the past, please return and give the new owners a chance. They are friendly-and don't have a pile of junk in the corner. ”
“ My husband and I came from Corbett, Oregon to try the food, let me tell you what, it was worth the drive! The owner and staff were so friendly, they got our food out to us quick. The chips and salsa were the bomb, and the burritos were to die for!! We want to say thank you to the staff and owner, for the good food and fantastic hospitality!! ”
