Reviews
"The food at this establishment is very good. But what you cannot get around is the absolutely horrible service. Very rare anyone acknowledges you when you walk in. I was used to the extremely slow service but when I went today my girlfriend and I sat down and for fifteen minutes no one came by. There were only two other tables with customers. The one waitress checked out the one table, dropped drinks off at the other table and she would be gone for long periods of time. We waited patiently but instead of coming by the table she started to clean off other tables. I saw about five other ladies in the back and a female bartender who also looked our way but never so much as smiled. We finally decided to leave and go elsewhere. The food is good here but they have definitely lost a customer as I will not be returning because that type of lack of service is inexcusable."
"Very good home made dishes, best taste and good service, get the steak with shrimp. And asada bites. Definitely one of my favorite places."
"Portion is very big, lots of veggie. I did take out so can’t comment on service, but the foods to me were bland. Bringing back home to add some more seasoning."
"We were looking for something "different" and landed on this place. Boy am I glad we did! It easily has the best horchata that I've ever had! After that, I was excited to try more. We ended up with a starter of empenadas, which were wonderful. Our meals consisted of a mixture of baleadas, tacos, carne asada, and one other that I cannot name. LOL Almost all were served with sides of cabbage (I'd call it a form of coleslaw), pickled onions (I didn't ask, but this is how they appeared), and a nice pico de galla. Everything is made from scratch and it showed. Even something like the carne asada had a little extra flavor than the usual plain meat taste that I've had at many other places. The dining room consists of tables and a small bar. I have no complaints after this visit! It was all wonderful! We will definitely go back as there are many other dishes to try. I don't know how long they've been in there, but I'm sad we haven't tried them until now."
