Surprise! Surprise! Place is beautifully decorated. Went in after a dental appointment within the plaza and this was our only option. Good thing we did. Great ambiance and even greater music. It kind of reminded me if a smaller version of El Pescador in Downey Landing our server was OK. She did not match the ambiance of the restaurant. It was during the week and not many customers
Great menu selection! Wife had the chilaquiles en Chile Rojo. A bit spicy for me but great taste. I had pescado a la Blanchard. Delicious delicious. My coffee was served in a nice "ollita" Chips with two different delicious salsas. We both were greatly impressed AND satisfied

My family and I had such a great experience here under the new ownership! The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly some of the best I’ve had in a while. The customer service stood out too—everyone was so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. You can really tell the new owners care about both the quality of the food and the overall experience. The atmosphere feels refreshed, the portions are generous, and everything came out perfectly. I’ll definitely be coming back soon and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and service.

The chips and salsa were wonderful, spicey and smokey. We had the soft taco plate with carne asada and the classic burrito wet (green sauce) with carne asada. It was all very tasty and delicious. To drink, we went ice tea unsweetened. We paid about $24 a person, and we had enough food to take home for an 2 meals. Well worth it.

Went here for a world cup watch party on Saturday, the atmosphere was great . The food was tasty I got the fajitas. They were good the meat was tasty , not the best I ever had but good
.my wife got a wet burrito with the red sauce and she couldn't get through a quarter of it because the red sauce really heavy on the Chipotle peppers. The drink specials where priced right , they have specials for the world cup . Ill tell you if I have a chance to go back to see a world cup match I definitely will .
