    Mexican Combo platter ... carne asada.

    Worst experience ever. Chips had no salt, no taste. Entrees looked good...the most non-tasting generic Mexican food I've ever had. Carne asada was the first ever. Plain, no tasting steak. Extremely disappointing.

    This is a hidden gem. They do not have a wide range on the menu, like street tacos or variety of proteins (el pastor, Lengua). Don't feel like that means you won't have good vittles though. The soup had so much flavor and packed full of chicken. My lunch date ordered a California burrito that was slamming with flavor and the portion size was nice. Highly recommend trying them if you're in Clio instead of the corporate owned locations near the freeway. You will be happy you did. Also don't forget to tip your servers, I hate that I have to even say this but man do I not get why people feel they don't need to do this.

    Visiting some family in Frankenmuth and it was suggested to go here instead of in town. I could tell my family and her friends liked this place and came here all the time but I wasn't impressed. I felt the dishes were very bland. I had a dish of 5 different enchiladas and you couldn't tell the difference they all tasted exactly the same. No distinct flavor within the sauce or meats at all. The restaurant also had a very strong cleaning fluid smell that really bothered me while I ate. Almost to the point where I felt like I could taste it. The staff is very friendly, however there was a little language issue some food was wrong. And to top it off someone in our party found hair in their food, so no we won't be back. This was a one and done for us!

    Service was courteous and prompt and the quality of the menu selections was also very good. Four of us ate here this evening and all of us agree that we would return another time. Chips and salsa provided an excellent start to the meal and the speed of service was also excellent. We will return another time when headed up north..

    I just had this for the first time! The chips and salsa were amazing. The street tacos were so good. THE MARGARITAS WERE HUGE!!!! (Feeling it a little). The rice was really good too. The atmosphere was cute. The food came out soooo fast. The staff was friendly, and the service was really good.

    Wait staff nice, food not. Huge chunks of cartilage in my enchiladas. Small portions for price just not a fan all together.

    You don't normally think of Tex-mex when you visit this part of town…read more We saw they could seat us immediately and we were hungry. The food was very good. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The quesadilla was well cooked. Stuff with goodies and not soggy. The smothered burrito was the best thing we tried on the menu. I highly recommend the queso smothered. However if you opt to have the protein opted out for veggies there is an up charge. Service was quick and friendly. Overall a solid meal. Parking is ample and in the back.

    Salsa and chips were very much like Gordon food service bagged chips, and jars salsa. The southwest…read moreegg rolls were doughy and basically full of beans not much else.. We ordered a daiquiri, they came out watered down with very little strawberry mixture and I'm not even sure what else was in it, but it was bitter and gross so they remade it and it came out pretty much the exact same way no flavor, bitter watered down.. the waitress was very sweet and she did take the drink off, but did not offer to take the southwest egg rolls off. My spicy shrimp tacos were OK. I did not like the sauce which was very tomato pasty. My wife had a Hawaiian bowl and it was very good. This place reminds me of a bar trying to dip their toes in to Mexican food, but not doing a very good job except it is called poblano's and by that fact alone they should be putting out some good food.

    Enjoyed a nice lunch for two. Got a booth quickly upon arriving with complimentary crispy tortilla…read moreChips and plenty of salsa. Hot sauce options to spice up the meal on the table already. Craving tamales ordered the 3 tamale plate with beef. I was surprised by the amount the meat and cheese layered on top and not rolled inside the tamal. Plenty of food for two to split as an entrees. Small portion Refried pinto beans and Mexican Rice as expected kinda bland and not very warm at all upon arriving at the table. With only one other person in the restaurant and ordering only one entrees I expected faster service and hot food. The plate was the warmest part of the meal. Lots of soda options, but they do not serve alcohol (plenty options downtown Midland nearby to enjoy a drink).

    I wouldn't come back here when there are so many other options in Midland. The servers were very…read morefriendly but when I asked a question I realized that she didn't speak English. She ran and got someone to translate. So I actually didn't order what I wanted because I knew she wouldn't be able to understand what I was saying. That's my fault ! My friend got the super large burrito and it was the size of a Taco Bell bean burrito and had no side dishes with it so I thought that was kind of expensive and he didn't like the food anyways. I got one of the vegetarian options and the bean burrito was like a small burrito I'd make at home with a can of refried beans. It also had a cheese enchilada that was like something I would make at home too. When we sat down and got the chips and salsa, I asked if they had a hot salsa also. The waitress went and got someone to translate who then ran and brought me a saucer full of hotter salsa that was good, but I wasn't told that it would be an extra $5 and didn't realize it until the bill came. Like I said, I won't be going back here again!!
