We finally made it to this restaurant for dinner. We sat on the patio and watched a beautiful sunset as we dined. We found the menu had some great selections, but we stuck with some ala carte choices as a way to sample several items. The sopa with beef, the beef taco, and tostada were excellent. The enchiladas and tamale were just average, I'd say. The salsa and chips were a winner ( not too spicy with the salsa). Great pricing and service were additional reasons to come back for more.

We returned to this restaurant quickly after our first visit. Why? The service was perfect and the owner was welcoming. The food ~ delicious. The margaritas divine. We love the patio for the lighting, beautiful flowers and view of the mountains.

It was better than most but not great. Most Mexican restaurants make Spanish rice with peas and carrots or maybe corn. I thought the rice was bland and lacked those ingredients. The enchiladas suizas, i ordered, were good but lacked some heat i was expecting from the green enchilada sauce. However, i found no bones or cartilage in the chicken of my enchiladas and that's a huge plus, so cudos to prep chef. I needed to salt everything on my plate, which honestly, everybody should taste before they salt which I did but it needed a little more salt. The bill was reasonable and I would definitely go back again.

The service was great. Staff is very friendly. The food looked delicious, but the Chile relleno had an aftertaste like it had been stuffed in the refrigerator for a while. The cheese enchilada, rice, and beans were tasty.
