Authentic Mexican fare. Large menu. A go-to for lunch everytime I am in town. Btw, treat yourself to an authentic "Mexican Coke". Imported. Blue glass bottle and made with cane suger the old fashioned way. Its what launched coke to a worldwide favorite back in the day.
I like that it's BYOB. I'd say the food was decent. I like that they give you salsa and nacho cheese with the tortilla chips.
The food was only two stars but the service was great. The server was sweet & the ambiance was nice, but I’m absolutely shocked by the high star reviews on the food & the fact that this place calls itself authentic Mexican.
I am fairly certain that many of the key components of the food are frozen or canned, including the weird vegetable blend added to the rice, most certainly the refried beans, & the enchilada sauce. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that in & of itself, although one might assume a restaurant would specialize in a few key ingredients in house, the way an Italian restaurant might make their own sauce. Even if one were to rely heavily on prepared ingredients, I assume you would at least still add seasonings & spices to jazz it up. Instead, the beans tasted plain & incredibly watery while the enchilada sauce was ketchupy.
I really enjoyed this place. The food was good, and the staff was friendly. Thanks for a great night!
Food is top-notch and the staff is very friendly. Huge menu selection and all kinds of neat things you can't get elsewhere. The portion sizes seem to have gotten a bit smaller lately but still worth the prices for sure. By far one of the best Mexican restaurants around!
