    Hmmmm. Special on board outside listed fish tacos. Came in and was told they were out of fish. Ok. The bean dip came with the free chips but the dip tasted burned. The chips had some crunch but were soft and stale. Not a good start. I ordered a lemonade and got a lime soda, lol. My beef taco was steak and I thought it was going to hamburger, but that's okay. It was dry with no sauce but I added some sour cream. The taco tasted alright other than the dryness. Probably won't come back. On another note, my mom likes her shrimp taco. She added tomato and thousands island dressing. The process were a little high. Average was $15-$20 with sides extra

    Small burrito for 9.00 plus change salsa cup half size of burrito
    Bob M.

    I always want to give a place a week or two after opening work out the Kinks, even stopped in 2 times for drinks but for what they're charging for a burrito $9 for a tiny burrito, I figured a carnitas burrito has to be a good start. The salsa cup as pic shows was about 1/2 the size of the burrito. I was looking at all of the fours and fives and I thought wow I'm missing something here well I guess they're all skinny people that eat here. The staff is very pleasant the place is clean the food was flavorful but when I have to go to the sandwich place after I paid $9 for a burrito and pick up a sandwich next door to take with me that is highly unacceptable so if you're a light eater enjoy, if you are a big eater eat before you get here. Walking out I did see plates that looked good but not 13 and 15.00 dollars good. Recommendations make the portions to match what you charge. To satisfy my curiosity I took my own black salsa cup from the Restaurant supply, just like yours, took 2 El Monterrey bag burritos at 3.99 put them end to end and same size, when you taste more beans and rice and the flavor is washed out on the Carnitas that's sad. I grew in Mexican restaurants mom own 2 one in Tucson for 28 years the other in Fresno Calif for 12 years, my own for 15 years, trust me you dont last that long if your not doing something right. read the kind reviews were the reviews stating excellent food or good? its ok to have a limited menu, KFC built a large company doing one thing right. What's your claim? Ours was Value, flavor, and larger portions........not here to bash the owners, just let them know your competition isnt that hard to beat here, but your biggest competition is next door at olivers , big sandwiches for 7-8 dollars, sad, lunch with you, and going next door totaled 17.00 tax and tips not included

    Carne asada tacos!
    Jay R.

    I came in last week for a quick afternoon snack. I opted for 3 tacos, all carne asada, but cant wait to try other meats. The service was quick and the food was even better. They has a salsa bar set up with chips and different toppings which was great. The homemade green salsa was fantastic!! They said really hot, I said perfect. I found myself picking up the the meat droppings off my plate it was so good.

    Chicken taquitos. Sorry for the watermark I post on Instagram haha

We came in for dinner on Cinco de Mayo and ended up paying $83 for two people, each with one entrée and two drinks. I get that it was a busy night, but the value just wasn't there. Prices have gone up quite a bit, and unfortunately the quality doesn't feel like it's kept up. The quesabirria tacos were $24.99 for three, and they came with two very small salsa bowls (both beans) and a small scoop of rice. For that price, it just didn't feel reasonable. On top of that, the tostada I ordered had a soggy shell, which made it hard to even enjoy. I've always liked PV, which is why this was disappointing to experience. It feels like PV has gotten significantly more expensive while the food quality has taken a step back.

Our server was not interested in us after realizing we were not going to order alcohol. The chips were fresh and warm and the salsa was mediocre. They added dried pepper flakes to make it spicier instead of using real fresh chiles. The portions were huge. I did love their refried bean. I ordered the Los Tres Amigos. I was a bit sad that the chile rellenos was omelette wrapped instead of egg batter. It was still tasty. I had asked for corn tortillas and got flour. My mom's steak fajitas were decent. Was a little worried about the cleanliness, we were seated at a table that still had the receipt and the change/tip left on it and not wiped down. Will I go back?? Probably not. So many other places to try.

    I want to be clear that this is coming from a place of honesty, not hostility. My wife and I were…read moregenuinely looking forward to the experience. I ordered the $21 meat lovers omelette, and I was honestly surprised by what was served. For that price point, I expected a substantial, well executed dish. Instead, the omelette was relatively small, the sausage and ham inside were cold, and the eggs were cooked to the point that they resembled an overdone scramble more than a folded omelette. At that price, that felt difficult to justify. Additionally, there was no pricing listed on the menu for a side of bacon. Being charged $7 for 4 pieces of thin bacon without any prior indication of cost felt uncomfortable and unexpected. Transparency in pricing matters, especially at those rates. My wife ordered a scramble, and unfortunately, it was presented as an open faced mound of eggs placed on top of meat, cheese, and what were labeled as home fries. The potatoes were deep fried and did not resemble home fries in texture or preparation. Presentation aside, the overall execution did not reflect the quality we anticipated. I say all of this respectfully, but firmly: based on this experience, there is not a realistic possibility that we would return. When a restaurant displays a food rating publicly, customers naturally assume a certain standard. After our breakfast this morning, I can understand how that rating may have been earned. I hope this feedback is received in the constructive spirit it's intended. We believe restaurants deserve the opportunity to hear honest experiences directly. Wishing you the best moving forward.

Brunch, Special menus for holidays, dinner, cocktails, dessert-it has all been top notch. This is a gem. Menu changes regularly so there is always something fresh and new. Prices may seem a little high for the area but the food and drink justify it. On my most recent visit we got 2 appetizers, two entrees (one was steak with shrimp add on), 3 desserts, and 5 cocktails for $250 which was not outrageous. Portion sizes are great. Food is full of flavor and cooked perfectly. We have sat on the restaurant side a few times but normally sit in a booth on the bar side. There is also a small patio off the bar in good weather. Bartenders are friendly and engaging. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. Only reason I knocked it a half star is the service on the bar side can be slow or feel forgotten about sometimes but it just depends on the time of day and if the bartender is having to do double duty or if they have dedicated wait staff in that area.

When we walked in, we had the option of going to the bar area or restaurant. We chose the bar. The place was spacious and had ample seating. We sat down and a gal came to our table to ask for our order. She immediately came off as very standoffish, but, all good, we were there to relax and enjoy. We ordered wings to start off with. Mind you, it was happy hour which she mentioned herself. Cool, thank you. The wings were decent but some were soggy. But it's all good. We then ordered an entree and more wings because we were hungry. Did another dozen wings in the buffalo sauce. Our waitress, Kalidawn, reiterating the wings were 2 orders. Didn't make sense but it did in the end as she was trying to separate the orders as "half orders" to charge more? When in reality, it was the same buffalo flavor for the dozen wings so it wasn't a "half order". Really? You're going to do all of that to get you an extra few dollars? She was already rude, dismissive, and bothered from the beginning. We try to look past these things but she was truly excessive. It's like she wanted to make a statement and hated that we weren't regulars. We ended up getting sick after eating here. The service was beyond disappointing and the food sucked, but we also got sick which was the cherry on the cake. We will never be back and hope others think twice. And to find out, Kalidawn is the manager at the restaurant. So don't even bother trying to complain about her horrible HORRIBLE service and attitude. She runs the place which makes sense as to why I'm sure they're struggling. Do better.

Everything here is just a little bit more interesting than in your average place. It's not really a fancy slow-food kind of place, but it's closer than most Mexican restaurants you'll visit. They did an excellent job with the interior, and a third of the floor space is dedicated to a mock up of the set of the "El Chavo del Ocho", and you can watch Don Ramon getting slapped by Doña Florinda on the television as you enjoy your meal. Service is attentive and knowledgeable about the food and the menu. The appetizers are excellent: The taquitos were the biggest hit, and be warned that the stuffed Jalapeños were full on burners and not for the meek (seeds are not removed). It would have been even better had they'd been a little more roasted, but I'd definitely order them again. Every one of the plates I've tried: the Tlayuda, the Tortilla Soup, Tongue in Salsa Verde, and especially the Torta de Chilaquiles were excellent. The Torta was my favorite, from its crusty loaf that was grilled first, then filled with chilaquiles, eggs, and eggs, and chorizo. I'm going to have a hard time not ordering it every time I go. The menu was changed between my last two trips, and the current menu is now on a spiral ring binder as opposed to the paper menu that was given before. The new menu mirrors the online menu. Gone is the lengua in salsa verde and the pozole. Descansa en paz! It's a little more expensive, as noted before by others, but you're getting a bigger bang for your buck in taste and quality. If you're not interested in the quality and care put into your food, then take a right out of the parking lot, and then take the first left, and you'll find that there's a Taco Bell with your name on it just a mile away.
