I ordered three wet chile verde burritos with guacamole and refried beans. All three were covered in an orange cheese like sauce. Hated the sauce, was expecting a green sauce. Couldn't taste or see any guacamole. Also came with whole beans. Didn't see any chili's in there either. Wish I had my $50 back,

We visited the restaurant on a Saturday evening. It was very crowded. And yet the attentive and friendly waiters kept an overview. We got delicious food at reasonable prices. Very large selection of tequila and margaraitas.

They were very busy when we arrived. Regardless, service was perfect! The drinks were amazing, and the food was delicious! My husband and I had a molcajete with carnitas and the creamy chipotle sauce. Highly recommend this meal with the homemade tortillas!

As a tourist in Sonora we got to try the best Mexican food we ever had. We had the steak, chicken and shrimp molcajetes to share amongst 4 adults. The meat was cooked to perfection and the sauce was tasty. We ordered extra tortillas and rice to accomodate all of us.

Not impressed with a la carte so-so chow, and a server who was "just doing her job," without catering or earning a tip. Won't return there. No served appetizers like bread bowl or chips. Everything has a price there. Nunca voy a volver.

Tortilla soup was awesome. Fajitas were very greasy and not appetizing unfortunately. My wifes fajita bowl looked ok and came with some avocado. Fajitas are bare bones no avo or sour cream. Sort of a downgrade from my last visit :(

The best Mexican food I have ever eaten! The restaurant is beautiful. The food is original and unique to this restaurant. No other Mexican restaurant makes their dishes this way. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Probably the most upscale Mexican joint in Sonora. The food is fun but a little pricier than other places. The extra price for the elevated cuisine is worth it though.

My husband and I lived in the Bay Area for 60 years and have eaten at many, MANY Mexican restaurants from S.F., Oakland and even San Jose. So, on to this place....in looking at the menu, I noticed that "Chips and Salsa" was listed under "Appetizers", and YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM ! So, when our server offered Ch.and Salsa we declined. On to the food, I ordered Poblano Relleno,the carnitas were so dry and inedible that I took one bite and decided to bring it home to add some broth and flavor , flanked by the saddest looking and equally inedible shriveled up chili. On to the bill !!!! I had NO IDEA that when I placed my order which stated "choose meat, ,,rice and beans or salad" Dave got the RnBs I asked for the salad. THEY CHARGED ME $7.00!!, Dave was also charged for rice and beans !! .There's more...but , make up your own mind.....

The location down by a cool mountain stream in the middle of town can't be beat on a hot summer day. It's also scenic. The tacos and flautas appear to be prepared with authentic style, but the chicken they use tastes canned or I would have given 5 stars
