With that said, the price was perfectly set for the menu so you most definitely get what you pay for. The hostess was an abuela type Mexican lady that made us feel super welcome (that's a big part of my experience) we order just some carnitas tacos as we were just stopping for a quick bite. The food was phenomenal! The beer was cold! And the times were fun! We most definitely need to come back for a full dinner one night because this place checks all the right boxes! 10/10 would most definitely come back AND recommend!

Food was great but not enough to make up for where this place lacks. Hopefully they can sort out the weaknesses and get on board with the surrounding competitors, because no beer menu is wild and salsa that thick and ketchupy is blasphemy. I hardly ever give out bad reviews but this is constructive as I could be without being disrespectful.

The restaurant is decorated like you're in someone's home in Mexico, it was so cute! It was very busy when we came in They don't have chips and salsa fyi - this joint is incredibly authentic Not a HUGE menu, but decent amount of choices which right away tells me they do what they do well if the menu isn't 8 pages haha We got quick service, there was one woman seating people, taking orders, and closing checks, and she did it well! My friend and I ordered soup (specifically carne en su jugo), which is my FAVORITE SOUP EVER, and I can't ever find it anywhere, and boy oh boy I will drive the 1.5 hours to get it again and again, it was perfect. They provide maximum of 2 ramekins of pickled carrots (cost if you want more, which were amazing) and 1 ramekin of green salsa (charge if you want more - and it's spicy but so good!) 3 crispy chicken tacos 1 mole with refried beans taquito (not rolled) 1 adobado pork sopa 1 adobado pork taco 2 chorizo tacos 1 hibiscus aqua fresca The restaurant doesn't have any music on, which I always appreciate background noise in general, but my friend and I were talking so much and the place was busy I didn't notice too much We planned on meeting monthly in Centralia and will continue to go here to eat, check it out!!!

Everything was delicious, the portions were generous, and the welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

We hated the wrought Iron chairs though.. super heavy and tall, and I am not a short person.. very hard to just slide it under your table seating.. other than that, completely average, but I'll go a 3 since at least the food was decent and the beer was cold. oh, and the orange "crack" sauce was pretty good too.. y'all should try that for sure.. I asked for their hottest, and that's what they gave me.. it went well on the Pork Belly Tacos

They randomly started to charge us almost $6 for a side of salsa, less than 8 ounces. After that we limited our visits. Today I was extremely looking forward to a plain cheese quesadilla, which is what I always get. Upon ordering the lady seemed confused, I asked "Can I have a cheese quesadilla please, just a cheese quesadilla." Like I've gotten a hundred times. Along with two sides of salsa, one red, one green. (Like I've ordered a hundred times). We only received a green salsa, so I went up and asked for a red one again. Paid $6 for another side of salsa. Whatever I'm just looking forward to eating at this point. Upon getting home I open my order and see it's half of a small cheese quesadilla (half the size it's always been) and soaked in watery beans and rice. I'm devastated and will not be supporting them again. Ended up just making my own food.

We noticed this Mexican Restaurant was open till 9p so we decided to eat here. It was a busy weekend night. This place had outside seating as well. We found 1 empty table right when you stepped in. Our server was amazing! My husband and I were going to split an entree. My husband's go-to is always an asada burrito. However, I asked for a suggestion. Our server recommended the Molcujete to split. Really it was the price of 2 entrees at $33 but was thinking that we needed to try something completely different and this was it. My daughter and mother split the enchiladas with rice and beans. The food took a long time however our server made sure we were kept in the loop, apologized and gave us more chips and salsa rather than ignore us. The molcujete was so different. In a pot with all the different meats, veggies and cheese along with tortillas. I liked it at a 4.5 out of 5. However, my husband didn't like it as much giving it a 4 out of 5. My daughter & mother loved the enchiladas giving it a 5 out of 5. The churro dessert was amazing. Carry cash because this place does charge a service fee for using a credit card. I think this place would have been more like a 4.5 star if they didn't do that. In the past, that was the cost of doing business was accepting credit cards to get more business but now instead of adjusting pricing on their food businesses is adding it.

We ordered one order of Huevos Rancherous with over easy eggs and side of bacon. Eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly. The homemade green chili and sauces were tasty and mild. Another order of 2 over easy eggs and bacon, with guacamole on the side. Our server was Lorena. I think she's the owner. She was friendly and personable. We had a nice conversation about Mexico, Massachusetts and Washington. They have a good location, an outdoor space that we did not get to take advantage of in June. The restaurant was clean and homey. They had soft Latino music playing in the background.

The exterior has a fence that is held by skis. It is very open inside with plenty of seating. They even have counter seats as well. Here is what I tried: -Huevos Rancheros w/house made potatoes: eggs well done covered in red sauce, with side of rice and beans cooked perfectly. The serving size was huge, like what you would get for dinner. Flavor was incredible and everything on the plate goes wells together. The potatoes were cooked from scratch and seasoned sautéed with chopped bell peppers. -Tall Pancakes: Never have I seen pancakes this big and fluffy. -Spicy Burritos: the sweeter was nice enough to replace the meat with vegetables. The scrambled and potatoes were also well seasoned and flavorful. This is a good place to go to if you are staying nearby. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for something homey welcoming.
