The Shrimp Nachos are awful. Plate full of tortilla chips, drizzled with white liquid cheese and about 8 shrimp on top. That's it. NO beans, no pico de gallo, no cilantro, no shredded cheese, no peppers. Nothing else. Awful.

1st time here, I must admit, my standards are picky, coming from a town that has a 60% Hispanic population, I've had some authentic Mexican food. I was very surprised here, atmosphere is good, not overpowering or "Americanised", prices are very reasonable, and the menu has a good selection! What I don't understand is why everyone in this area uses flower tortillas for taco's instead of corn? And if you do ask for corn, you pay more and it's a "street" taco? Anyway, I ordered the Chori Pollo , big plate of food! Flavor is spot on! Could have used a bit less of the cheese sauce, but it is excellent! Service is great and the man who was possibly the manager, seems genuinely concerned about your experience! I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

Food was very good, the Taco salad was on the small side, but I couldn't have eaten any more.It was very noisy. I had a hard time hearing the people at my own table.But, all in all, I'll go there again. Maybe not on a Sunday.

My wife, kids and I went this past Friday for the first time and the restaurant did not disappoint. The Margaritas were delicious and the food was not bad either. I had the chicken chimichanga and I didn’t leave anything on it. My oldest didn’t either (he had chicken tenders). Lol. My youngest enjoyed the rice and my wife enjoyed her meal. I don’t remember what it was called but it had beef and shrimp. Our waiter provided quality service. We will definitely be back.

I can't explain how obsessed I am with Cholula's. It all started with eating some chips and salsa thinking it would be just like every other Mexican restaurants salsa. I was very wrong. Their salsa is so amazing it made me want to go back and kiss every staff member on the way. I would order it as a beverage. Their steak street tacos were amazing! Now I feel like plankton from SpongeBob, where I just want to sneak in and find their recipes. I will forever need Cholula's in my life.

Food was delicious ?

We LOVE Cholulas! Their spicy salsa is not for the weak, but is an absolute must. We also love their tacos de carne asada & pretty much any burrito. Great value & so close to home. The service is also consistently excellent.

I love this brightly decorated Mexican restaurant! The food was very good: I had Pollo Cancun and it lasted for 3 meals with the portion size I was served.The chips are thin and crispy and the salsa is flavorful without being overly spicy. My kiddo and husband also enjoyed their meals! The price is right, too. We'll definitely be going back!

I love the seafood selection, here. The service is great. Its family owned, so everyone takes pride in everything that is going on here, from the cleanliness, service to the food. There's never been a problem with my bill or quality of my experience. I recommend it to everyone I can
