My first time coming here and the food was really good. The fried fish was so flavorful I’d definitely recommend that plate. I recommend it for myself also because I was stealing bites from my husband’s plate. The only down fall was our waitress. Not once did she come check on us for refills or more alcoholic drinks. Or anything period. A gentleman saw me looking around and right away came to ask if we needed anything. So that was nice. Either way I’ll definitely be going back for a painkiller
This is my go to place to grab a torta and some breakfast potatoes. I've only had bad service once out of countless visits. Everything was fresh and perfect. The salsa was so delicious and just the right amount of spicy. I'm not a big fan of their fries so I eat their breakfast potatoes which are always on point. The ladies in the kitchen and the gentleman that waited on me did an awesome job.
Had a wonderful experience here! Food was delicious & authentic! Was a Sunday, but the wait was not long. Our waitress was very attentive. My husband said to be sure and include in this review that the cook should should get a raise& not ever be let go! Lol We went to the location on 281 for years until it was no longer there. Food was good back then too, but yesterday's meal just took me waaaaaay back to my Abuela's cooking. You know the food's gotta be good!
Only got takeout so can't comment on atmosphere... but taco was exactly the way I like it, bacon not chopped and not mixed in, instead crispy long bacon strip and flavorful, soft eggs. Very delicious taco. Will definitely order again from here
I didn't get the waiter's name but on the receipt it read Camacho C. So to the waiter that served us deserves a huge shoutout for the excellent service he provided my son and I on Christmas Eve. He saw my son shoot his straw wrapper at me and kept handing him more straws and it was the funniest thing. Small gesture like that made the meal and time spent more enjoyable. Great food, great service- even my 9 year old said the same. Thanks a bunch! Merry Christmas!
