Very delicious with one dish Deluxe burrito and the other was the Jalisco special which was super good. My only suggestion, if would like to sit and talk maybe enjoy a cocktail with good salsa and chips. Don't put your food order in right away, take some time because it comes out really fast. Now for the bad, unfortunately. I'm 62 years old and I've had quite a few margaritas in my day. We started out with a jalapeño margarita, they were awful. Bartender did not take the time to muddle the jalapeños, which I swear were green peppers. The drinks had no jalapeño taste whatsoever. It was super sweet because they use their house mixture and then add soda, water and tequila. Simply bad! So we decided to try the house margarita. Equally awful. I've never had somebody serve a margarita that they use their sour mix, Cointreau orange juice, tequila, and topped it off a soda water. I have to say it was pretty bad too. I gave up at that point. I think the only way I plan to go back as if I go for lunch and have iced tea. Again, other than horrible watered down margaritas that are sweet and awful, everything else was perfect.

Rated within its niche, our meal deserves every one of its five stars for the authenticity,…read morequality, flavor and quantity. Even its location just off the city center--within a Mexican grocery store-- added to the experience. One server/cashier and one cook handled the small dinner crowd very well. We had heard raves about their salsa so we expected a bowl of salsa with our chips. Instead we got squeeze bottles, one orange, one green. The green salsa had some kick, and the orange had wonderful layers of flavor. Although we did not need it, we noticed a bar for extra toppings. In 2025, most of the entrees seem to be in the $14 to $16 range. Again, the quantity of food was way more than we could eat in one meal. I originally told my companion we were not leaving until I ate every delicious bite of my nachos. That proved impossible. Since we were traveling we could not take any leftovers home, so I mourned the deliciousness I left behind.

My first encounter with this local gem was over twenty years ago on my first visit to this Ohio town, and it's still around with improvements, enhancements and is still great overall! A terrific family run business. From its jam-packed with a wide array of dry and can goods on grocery shelves, great meats, extensive local baked goods, and a much renovated and expanded restaurant and really nice Mexican-style bar! If you're in town and are in the mood for an ice-cold Dox Equis and/or Jalisco style Mexican cuisine, this the place for you! Their goodies run the gamut from an incredible Pozole to Grilled Chicken delights, to delectable Burritos to mouthwatering tacos, some terrific, refried beans and incredible chips and salsa! I think they are one of the top five Mexican food joints in the Defiance area. Oh, and do your groceries while you're at it. Buen provecho ya'll.

What really bothered me was the surprise 3.5% surcharge they add if you pay with a card. That includes debit cards too. I didn't see any signs about it and wasn't told until the check came. At that point, I didn't have cash, so I had no choice. For anyone wondering, surcharges on debit cards aren't allowed under Visa and Mastercard rules. I get that places are trying to cover costs, but it should be clear up front and within the rules. I wouldn't have stayed if I knew about the extra fee--or I would've stopped at my bank across the street to grab some cash. Just a heads-up for anyone thinking of stopping by: bring cash.
