I’ve gone a few times. Love how very colorful the restaurant is — from their furniture, décor even to their napkins! When they 1st open my BF and I thought they were going to change from cloth napkins to paper napkins but that’s not case! I’ve had their seafood and I wasn’t a fan. I’ve learned to stick with their Fajitas. It’s a big portion and my BF and I can share it. Our kids love their chips.

NO! Just NO! 4 stars??? Really!!! I went here with my family based on Unilocal reviews. We were excited for the possibility of having a good Mexican food spot fairly close to home. We were extremely disappointed. We were given a small serving of chips and salsa for a family of five, had to ask for a refill, food took forever to be served once ordered(the restaurant was empty), food was barely warm, flavor was bland, the picture in the menu showed that my dish came with sour cream… it didn’t and then was told that I would have to pay extra if I wanted it, soda was served in a small glass and kept having to flag the waitress down to ask for refills instead of being checked on and offered a refill. The décor was colorful and fun, but the food and service were blah at best!

I ordered some tamales. I asked the girl ahead of time and she let me know they make their tamales fresh very morning. I paid $ 30 for am order of 6 which is extremely over priced. I thought as long as they were good it would be worth it. I brought them home and they were hard. As if they had been frozen for a while. I was so disappointed. I over paid for hard tamales. I will never go back there in my life.

We have been wanting to try this restaurant for a few months, and finally got there last night with a party of six. It was the day after Christmas, a Saturday night, and very crowded. We had to wait about 10 to 15 minutes to be seated, which was fine, but the wait for our food was about 45 minutes, which was unacceptable. We were told that due to the busyness and the number of to-go orders, the kitchen was backed up. Fortunately, we liked the décor, the ambiance, the music, and most of all, once it arrived, the food was very good. Items ordered were a pork chimichanga, beef tacos, fish tacos, both cheese & chicken enchiladas. We liked both the red & green sauces, we all enjoyed our entrees and the green rice, and a huge thumbs up to the chips & salsa as well. The salsa was roasted green chili not tomato, always my preference but rarely found. I do recommebd you try this restaurant. We’ll be back for a 2nd try, and will hope for faster food service. Can only give 3 stars now because of that. Customer service from wait staff was good, no issues there. I hope to update this review with a higher rating in the future.

First time there after a recommendation from friends. Food was great, good value, conciencious service. Cute décor — very festive. The only drawback was the booths wiggled everyone our neighbors would move. The cloth napkins were a lovely touch.

This place is beautifully decorated and very colorful. It’s a fun and cheerful atmosphere. The food and drinks were delicious and very authentic. I had the 3 small lime ceviche tostadas and their regular margarita on the rocks w salt. I’m not a margarita person but this was really good! I highly recommend it! They give you complimentary chips and salsa and their salsa is mild but very flavorful. I love their colorful plates, glasses and colorful cloth napkins! Brought us back to our trip to central Mexico– LOVELOVELOVE!!! The service is great and the staff is super friendly and attentive! We’ll be back w/our friends and family!

As we weren’t in the mood to go out tonight… ok it’s a football night! We decided to order delivery. We didn’t want the same olé pizza or sammys so we tried the little brother app to Unilocal called Eat24. That app lists all delivery and take out restaurants. We had never tried this place before but most of the reviews were great. We ordered three entrée dinners. I had the biggest tamale I’ve ever had in my life. As I had let my hubby order for me I thought it was a burrito! And so full of chicken. And obviously not too much masa. The cheese chilies releno(can’t spell) was not breaded. This was awesome. My taco was not the best but that was completely MY fault. I left it in the container too long and it became chewie. But what was in it was great. Lime rice and beans completed the dinners. We will continue to try new things at this location and even stop in. Great Dinner!

Nice little place with good prices. The service is a little slow, but they keep you in chips and salsa, so it is all good. Definitely worth a try. I will probably come back when i go visit my sister again(she lives close by).

Came here for dinner, and loved it! The décor was so fun and colorful, and the staff were so nice and friendly. They were pretty busy, but I felt we still had great service. Our food was great, and the fried ice cream was amazing! I’d definitely recommend this place for a solid Mexican meal.

Second time and as money as the first. Had to actually post a photo of Juans Monster burrito, chicken, steak, and shrimp with all the goods. You could literally hit someone with this thing and kill their dog it’s so big lol taste was all their too. Wings as an appetizer were pretty good too, not the best but worthy of trying. Friendly service again, definitely will be back!

Stopped in on a Saturday evening and the place was pretty full. A couple entered the same time as us and were sat and greeted with chips and drinks. After we sat, we were kinda looking around wondering why nobody was greeting us. Two more couples came in and were given chips before us. I told my boyfriend that if they didnt come over in two minutes we were leaving. All of sudden they greeted us so we were stuck. We ordered an appetizer and waited for it to arrive while everyone who came in AFTER us was finishing their entrée and waiting for their bill. We were beyond frustrated. The appetizer was nothing but thick melted cheese on a skillet. We thought it would be more of a thick dip. After everyone else left we got our food. The people that came in 20 minutes after us got their food two minutes after us. I asked for sour cream with my order and when i got my plate there wasnt any. Considering they Charge $ 1 ud think they’d remember that. Portions were kind of small. my burrito was soggy and i couldn’t eat the ends becuz they were so doughy. The reason we came here was becuz the pollack cinema had an ad that u could get $ 2 off per entrée with ticket. I tried to use and girl said it has to be used the same day as ur movie. The ad at the movie does not say that. Total bait and switch. Like perfect definition of it. Girl heard me complain and came back saying she would take it. I told her it was ok and not to worry about it (Becuz another table was staring at me and i didnt wanna seem cheap or like a baby.) We had three different people wait on us so maybe that had something to do with our poor experience

Was craving mexican food and we really dont have many options close by, until now. This is a fairly new place about 10 months old located in a strip mall and it is nicely decorated. Waited a few minutes to be seated and table needed wiping down. The place wasnt busy but by the time we left it was and there was only one server and the manager helping. I had the Sopes with Carnitas and although it was a big plate and was tasty, it had too much lettuce and was a bit too greasy. The enchiladas were good.

I stepped into a colourful atmosphere with yellow walls, Mexican painted mural on the walls, colourful banners hanging from the ceiling and pleasant Mexican music playing. The table and chairs are beautiful with a Mexican painting on each and finished with high gloss sealant. It is very clean. The staff friendly. I had not ordered a Mexican Pizza in a very long time so I decided I would get the Beef Mexican Pizza. To my surprise it was huge. The size of a cheese crisp. Ones I ordered at other places were personal pizza size on a thicker crust. The crust was thin on this one which is a problem BC all those toppings made it soggy. This item should be served on a thicker crust or Indian Fry Bread. Aside from the soggyness, the flavor was very good. The rice was different from what I’m used too. It was green in color with corn and green chilies. Tasted fine but I really like the regular rice better. Daughter order 3 chicken tacos, rice and beans which was a shocker BC99.8% of the time she gets a cheese crisp.. The chicken was fresh and flavorful. Honestly everything had good flavor. If you like Serrano’s, I think you’ll like this place a little better.

Good food but the service is what makes it a 2 star. So slow. I’ve got my food almost cold before. I’m left hanging on my drink refill all dinner. They used to have good servers but I don’t know where they all went. Good food horrible service. Also… stay far away from the fish taco. It was horrible to me. Super dry and didn’t really taste too much like fish.

I usually give good reviews of course but IMHO it’s my first time to try this place and it’s no bueno i had the chichen chimichanga with rice. Chimi was dry and rice was not hot not warm. But a lil cold. I only had like 3 bites and that’s it. Water tastes like bleh. My daughter didn’t like it either. So no stars this time. maybe 2 stars for the friendly staff and the presentation. . I’ll give it another chance though I’ll maybe come back to try their tacos.

I heard some rave reviews from people at church regarding this place and since it’s only a couple doors down from our church, thought, why not? I wanted to invite some others from church to join us for lunch, but my husband was already overwhelmed, so we decided to just go ourselves. Loved the décor, which the place is very bright and clean with lots of beautiful things. Loved the chairs and tables, that had colorful Mexican type art. My son took a lot of pictures and that just made us seem so Asian, but he, we love our cameras. Loved the glasses that our water and sodas came in. I thought the prices would be a little less as people from my church said it was cheap, but we don’t really eat Mexican and I thought cheap meant like $ 4 – 7 range. That it was not, but closer to near the $ 10 range, but not a big deal. We liked the tortilla chips that came out in a cute basket and the addicting salsa in cute little salsa bowls. I could’ve just eaten this for lunch. Really loved the colorfulness of this restaurant. It would have been nice had they proved spoons with the salsa. The napkins were colorful cloth napkins, which were nice, but I think I still like paper napkins better, but that’s not really a big issue. Each of the kids ordered a 3 enchiladas and they got a mixture of cheese, beef, and chicken and the waitress only charged us $ 8.95 for each of their items. It also came with rice and beans. The rice was a different type of rice rather than the orangish Mexican rice normally served at many gringo style Mexican restaurants. This was more of a poblano, cilantro rice, which was good, but needed more salt. Each plate had refried beans topped with cheese(well, three of the four plates had cheese topping the refried beans). This was the only thing that wasn’t too great and I would have preferred black beans or something that wasn’t so pastey thick. My husband ordered 3 street steak tacos(rib eye) and these came with plenty of beef, which he liked. Each dish had some pico de gallo, and I wished this was more. He liked the tacos. I ordered a 3 item plate consisting of a carnitas taco, chicken tamale and a chili relleno. I was glad the chili relleno wasn’t breaded, as it’s normally so this made it less greasy. I liked the taste of the taco, which was not a soft taco, but where the shell is deep fried with the meat in it. I think they could have put more carnitas in the taco, though. Did not get to eat the chicken tamale as 1 taco and ½ of the relleno. Ate all my beans, and a little of the rice and I was totally stuffed. My son was able to eat most of his food, minus one enchilada of the three and my daughter ate all her plate. My husband ate all his tacos and most of the rice and beans. As we were nearly done with our food, quite a few people from our church showed up and the restaurant was starting to have a little bit more action. We were the only ones here for most of the time we were here. Will be back. The service was good, the waitress attentive to our needs. No issues here.

We stepped inside for dinner after a long work day, eager to try this new restaurant. In addition to your standard burritos, chimichangas, and tacos, they also offer options like sopes and have a small American style menu for those not wishing to eat Mexican food at a Mexican restaurant :). We were seated immediately at a bright, comfortable booth. The décor is very festive and lively, with warm gold and yellow tones echoing throughout the restaurant. I loved the atmosphere, the unique tables, and the vivid, multi-colored cloth napkins. As soon as we were seated we received some chips and salsa. Both were quite good. The salsa was green and was filled with fire roasted green chiles, adding a nice spicy kick to go with the light, crisp chips. We looked through the menu and I decided on a 2 item combination plate($ 8.95) with chile relleno and chicken enchilada, and. I also tried some carnitas chimichanga. The chile relleno is a lighter version of what I usually see in restaurants. The poblano chile is not breaded and fried, but still stuffed with cheese. I enjoyed it, as the chile was perfectly cooked with good flavor. The chicken enchilada was filled with shredded white meat chicken. Again, it tasted like a lighter version of what I usually see in most restaurants. The rice was green, which was a unique twist, and had a more delicate flavor. The refried beans were decent, no complaints. The carnitas chimichanga was filled with tender carnitas pork, and I could taste a hint of cumin in the mix. Like the other components of my meal, this dish also had more of a delicate flavor. Service was friendly and cheerful and we were checked on as needed. They also have a breakfast menu that I might like to try some day. If you’re looking for lighter tasting versions of Mexican favorites in a sunny, cheerful atmosphere, you’ve come to the right place!
