“Today was my first visit to this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend.I'm a big fan of chicken fried steak and eggs. This place did an awesome job making the dish. The chicken fried steak was prepared fresh and was topped with white country gravy. I chose hash browns over the other options available. For my toast option I chose the English muffin; buttered of course. I also ordered one single pancake not knowing how much food would be served. The portions are large, tasty and filling. I ordered ice tea for my beverage. One thing I liked was that they provide a carafe of additional iced tea to pour your own refills. Total review: no negatives“

“Went to D’Poly’s (12/19) upon the recommendation of two local coworkers. It did not disappoint! Two of us ordered the Chile Santo, and another friend ordered a Torta. For the table, chips and guacamole.The sangria was presented beautifully and tasted good. We had an amazing server (I think her name was Helen?) who helped with recommendations.Since I have been working out in Imperial Valley for a few months, I have been to a few Mexican restaurants. This one stands out among the rest! It was busy despite being a weekday.One thing that was odd was how loud the music was in the lady’s restroom.“

It was pretty good considering it was all that food for $10.80! The service was great and the food was delish! I definitely recommend if you want Mexican food!“

“This place has been my favorite for years! The food is amazing, it's american food but with a fusion of mexican. The service is always great. The ambiance is awesome! You can go watch any game. It's a sport bar/restaurant after all. What I really do enjoy is that some booths have televisions on their little stall. So you can watch any show privately. One of my all time favorite to eat there is their chipotle fries...they are fire“

“Best carne asada in the valley, hands down. Meat has great flavor and never under- or over- cooked. I’ve been a customer for years and they’ve never disappointed. Guacamole tacos, special quesadillas and red enchiladas with chicken and cheese are my favorites. Staff is always in a good mood, friendly and very helpful, even new employees, which speaks of the owner’s dedication in providing her customers with the best experience.“

“I eat here at least once a month. This is one of my favorite resturants and my all time favorite Mexican restaurant and I have eaten at many all over California, Arizona, Texas, and several other states.My most recent visit was Sunday, 01/28/2024 . There were five in our party and they were very busy, but even still we were seated after a brief wait at their bar. Our server was a young lady and she was polite, funny, and attentive. Our food arrived in a timely manner and it was all good. Their enchiladas are wonderful. I especially enjoy their chicken enchiladas with mole sauce, and zucchini enchiladas, but everything here is delish. My friend raves about their Mexican coffee.The Resturant is small and they pack as many tables as they can in it, so sometimes you may find yourself sitting close to another table. Because of this we try to go at less busy times: after 9 am, before 11:30 and after 1Pm. Dinner time is usually less crowded.Parking: There is a small parking lot and then plenty of free parking on the street. It is a 2 hr limit during business days and hours.“

“To be honest, I was a bit disappointed. I really don't like to speak bad about no one. My wife and I decided to give this place a try. Ordered a white menudo and an order of quesabirrias. The menudo lacked a lil flavor and so did the consomé to the quesabirrias. The quesabirrias were quite tasty, but not the menudo.“

I took my niece last time I went, she's a picky eater and she loved it. The food is really tasty, they're fast and also very nice to their customers, the place is always clean, and also really pretty and perfect for the IG's pictures. I totally recommend it.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! We tried the Green Pozole and Chilaquiles. Both of these dishes tasted like they were made at home, so the name "Antojitos Como En Casa" is fitting.Our waiter sat us down and took our order quickly, but was nowhere to be found after that. I had to ask another waiter for the check. Beside that, the atmosphere was great - great music playing in the background and the restaurant was quite busy but not hectic on a Sunday morning.Overall, the food here is fantastic, and I would highly recommend you check it out.“

“Exactly what you expect from a del Taco. Quick service and consistent food. Not remarkable, but better than other franchise brands.Be realistic. You don't go to Del Taco for table service and upscale dining. We all go for an inexpensive bag of passable food to fill bellies on a budget, quickly.Expect that and you won't be disappointed.“
