Excellent environment Excellent customer service Excellent portions & above all Excellent tasty food I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. My wife & I, will definitely be coming back. Plenty of tv's to catch your fav sporting event & easy parking.
Everything was savory, fantastic. The steak with the Steak Picado was much higher quality than many places. I really enjoyed the Burrito deCamaron, perfect level of spice, not to mild yet not alarming! It was not extremely busy, but busy enough, yet the staff seemed very fast, efficient and paid plenty of attention to the diners. Very clean dining, friendly people. Really good prices on drinks.
Great place! Good Mexican food, & not-too-$ Of course, we’re old (65) don’t drink so our bill is cheap! $25, one XL Burrito, two dinner salads, $6 tip. So normal people (us, 20 years ago), we’re talking $50 dinner for two. ¡Buena comida!
Second edit: we had a large party for an out of state family member and were accommodated perfectly. Fast table service, constant refills and was always being checked on..Food was excellent. Just like the good days! Edit to add, having just recently celebrated a birthday there, something feels off. We were seated on the opposite side of the spot we've been seated at for honestly 25+years. The service was a little slow, the lights went out on us and no one sang Happy Birthday. It was a strange, different vibe than what we've been used to all these years. Definitely disappointing. Been coming here for years and almost never have had a bad experience. We love this place! Is the go to place for every birthday or special occasion! :)
Wow, the portions here are HUGE! Ordered the Enchiladas and Arroz con Pollo and these plates were hefty! Each order comes with a soup or salad. Go for the albondigas soup because it's so good! The bowl looks small but it's filled with 3-4 meatballs and loaded with veggies. I will be ordering a full portion on my next visit.. yes, it's that good! Great service!
This is the food that N.W.A ate that gave them the strength and ability to create Straight Outta Compton a musical masterpiece. The studio they recorded in was called Audio Achievements It's right next door.
