Had lunch here the other day, for the 2nd time, got my usual chili rellanos. First time was best I ever had, was served open faced with lots of cheese. This time it wasn't and didn't have a lot of cheese. Hopefully next time it be as great as the first time. Also margarita was best ever.

Food was amazing. Employee helped us get started at a table with chips and salsa while there was a line at the register which made it much more
Love this place! The guava pork taco is absolutely delicious.

I would love to give them 5 stars but the service is ridiculously slow. Second time we have been there in the evening and waited close to an hour for our food. Would love to keep coming here but will pass until the service gets better.

Excellent as always! Paloma was so yummy! Tried the guava pork taco for the first time & no regrets ! Had the chile relleno with al pastor pork, which I get every time & was delicious! Brought home the cali queso taco for the hubby which was amazing as takeout!
On the recommendation of an acquaintance we decided to have dinner at The Spanish Traveler. We were told this was "elevated" Latin food. Hmmm.... I'm not sure what this person's definition of elevated is but I don't think this was it. The first thing that turned us off was having to order at the counter like we were at a fast food restaurant. Thankfully a staff member gave us paper menus to look at so we could take our time deciding what we wanted. Back up to join the line to order. We were given a number for our table and cups so we could serve ourselves soft drinks (still waiting for the "elevated" experience). And then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. At one point someone brought us a little basket of tortilla chips with a tiny side of salsa. The chips are quite hard and they were not salted. The salsa was fine - I prefer a chunky salsa and this was more akin to enchilada sauce. Our food was delivered to our table after about 25 minutes. I had the fish tacos which were quite flavorful, if lacking fish. Seriously...one tiny piece of fish for each taco. The slice of avocado on the taco dwarfed the fish. These were primarily cabbage and sauce tacos. The rice and beans were nothing special and almost cold by the time they reached our table. My husband had the shredded beef enchiladas with a side of rice. He found them to be rather flavorless. The person who brought our entrees said he would bring us additional chips/salsa but we never saw him again. When we finished eating we had to get back in line in order to pay for our meal. What? Why is this a thing? We should have paid at the time we ordered. This is a strange concept when you don't have servers coming to the table to take additional orders for drinks or more food. Was the food filling? Yes. Have I had worse meals? Absolutely. But we spent $55 for two people, no alcohol, no table service to speak of, served ourselves our own sodas, and the food was mediocre. I had high hopes for this place based on the recommendation but we won't be back.

I've now tried about five different dishes and they have all been fantastic. I don't think there is a best one . . . . paella, arroz cameroons, etc, etc. BTW, the house marg is phenomenal, but the gold is even better!
Food was very tasty, upscale Latin American cuisine. Very nice atmosphere and aesthetics, not what I expected based on the strip mall location.

Less Authentic than Taco Bell:The portions are okay , definitely not the freshest food, i dont know what happened after covid but this food is so bland now , its lost any flavor or even authenticity. While I understand the need to appeal to a wider audience , this is a resturant for no one. The food honestly makes me ashamed to be mexican, 28 dollars for a burrito. They know the quality dipped as they make you pay upfront when you order. The aesthetic was alright if not a bit lifeless and colorless. If ur looking for better value and a better tasting meal, check ur local frozen mexican food section, youll prolly find them shopping there for ingredients too. Homemade chips were nice , Guac and Salsa were little more than water and flavor. If you wanna eat here bring some limes and salt. Their cooks also dont wash their hands or kitchen as me and my fiance both were sick to our stomach after getting home after choking their food down.

Some of the food was okay, but our queso blanco needed to be remade and was still extremely bland. The margarita was very plain as well and the serving sizes were small considering the prices were higher than at similar restaurants.
