This was the first time I visited this restaurant and I would definitely return. It is big, just like the portions they serve. And they fill up. I got a trio of enchiladas, accompanied by rice and beans. Everything was delicious except the the beans were a little too soupy. The chips were good, but the salsa was just ok. I managed to eat it anyway! The plates are enormous and very full and they have an extensive menu. It is easy to find and the parking is plentiful.

Classic Mexican food. It’s tough to go wrong here. I’ve always enjoyed the food, the service is perfectly fine and the owners have decorated the interior well. There’s nothing exactly wrong with the mole, but I have had better. The chips and salsa are on the house and quite tasty. The cocktails have always been enjoyable. If you haven’t been here yet, give it a try as good people making good food work here.

Used to come here all the time when I lived in Rowley, the drinks are great but the food went so beyond downhill I was extremely dissatisfied. I got chicken fajitas which I had gotten before and they were orange powdered and tasteless unlike before, and when I say tasteless I mean literally tasted like nothing when Mexican food is suppose to be an explosion of flavor. I ate two bites of my food and left starving…I Will be coming back to try their steak again instead of the chicken because I really did LOVE their food before, but I am hesitant to go again. Super sad

McMexican food n service. Microwaved rice, beans n entree, with a handful of lettuce n tomato added to plate before pushing out to table. I would recommend nothing from this restaurant, not even the “free” warm chips and salsa.

Like eating at your Abuelas on her everyday dishes! Delicious, tasty and authentic! Be sure to get a beer to go along with the chips and homemade salsa. Next time I’m going with friends so we can all order different dishes to share

The food is awesome but the service was awful. We were the only ones there. I asked for hot peppers and they never came. I had to ask another person. Then a young man just stood in the room playing on his phone, another sat behind us speaking so loudly in Spanish it was so annoying. Then we asked for two containers to go, one was brought to us and we then had to find someone to bring a second. Finally I had to find the girl at the register to get the bil.. Horrible help. I’ve been there before and it was much better. The bar was packed but we were the only ones in the restaurant.

Food was very good, there were 6 of us and everyone had a different dish. Also the margaritas were very good. Once we were seated everything went smoothly. It was cinque De Mayo and knew they would be busy, arrived at 715 and was told a wait of about 45 minutes, so there was no room to wait it was that packed, so asked if I could wait in my car and come in after 45 minutes, I was assured by a young man at the desk that he would call us on the phone, he took my number down, I again said I would come in after 46 minutes and he said no I will call you, so after an hour I said we better go in. Well they looked at me, asked if I wanted to put my name on list, explaining it was there I see the list , they went over me and at least 6 names after me had already had a table. We finally were seated at 9p after waiting another 30 minutes. If it wasn’t for our waiter and the rest of the staff and the food being very good, I would have been really angry.

Margaritas are incredible. I don’t typically order them, will again here. The Pollo Asado was enough to feed me 3 times . Homemade chips and salsa were perfect. Not sure what else you need to know but trust…this is authentic Mexican cuisine at a great value.

Good experiences. Have been here twice and will return. Staff is hardworking and pleasant. Margaritas improved on our 2nd visit. Large selection on the menu. Food is OK, warm chips and salsa were placed immediately as we sat down at bar. Local crowd was mixed, very social. Saturday night was packed. Easy parking. We will continue to go back and try the menu but sometimes it’s nice to go support a local place with a good vibe and friendly people.
