    The first thing I noticed was the smell. The smell of the cooking meats mingle with the aroma of roasting vegetables in a way that makes your mouth happy it's next! I had the carne asada plate, rice and beans, tortilla, guacamole, rice and salad. It was like getting a plate of beef burnt ends, without the bbq sauce. Soft crispy-cornered pieces of deliciousness. They are cooking it fresh so preparation takes a minute but it's well worth the wait. Besides, the people were so nice and the food so good, I didn't mind the wait.

    Food was tasty! Real authentic Mexican served for an unbeatable price. Would happily return! Enchiladas were delicious

    Authentic, delish refried beans. We go there often when we are in Canby. An excellent take out place for Mexican food.

    This was our first visit after hearing about this restaurant for quite some time, and it truly…read moreexceeded our expectations--it's a hidden gem. The interior is spacious, clean, and comfortable. We were seated in a booth and promptly welcomed with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were warm, and the beans served alongside them were as well. Shortly after being seated, our server greeted us and informed us of the Friday evening drink specials. To start, we ordered a couple of house margaritas and the grilled octopus, both of which were excellent. The menu offers a wide variety of options, so we asked for a recommendation. Our server suggested the Molcajete Mexicano, which turned out to be a standout dish--rich in flavor and generously portioned (photo attached for reference). Overall, the pricing was reasonable for dining out, and the service was attentive and efficient. We arrived with modest expectations but were thoroughly impressed by both the food and the service. We look forward to returning to try more items on the menu.

A nice waitress came by soon after and delivered water, chips, salsa and refried beans with veggies slaw. I took advantage of happy hours and order a couple small plates. Hard shell beef tacos and coconut shrimp. Both were excellent. I will definitely come back to try more of their extensive menu.

    Went in about 9:35pm or so, staff was great but disappointed that they were out so many things…read more It doesn't make sense to me why be open if so many items are not available. An open sign shouldn't be on if a restaurant refuses to make things that they have the ingredients for just because they close in an hour. They were out of: - cheese (both shredded and queso) - pico de gallo - guacamole - fajitas - brown rice I drove 25 minutes to get here as it was the closest place with healthy options open. I started to make a bowl but the only things in my bowl after seeing what they were out of were white rice, chicken, sour cream, and lettuce so I just told them I was fine and didn't want my bowl anymore as it didn't look very appetizing. I've noticed this is a common problem with chipotles after 8:30pm. They won't make anything when closing time is only an 1 and a half away - and once they run out they just say sorry and expect you to eat rice beans and meat with no toppings. Probably won't go here late night anymore. Instead I'll just go to Los Dos Agaves up the street, since they have a pretty good steak salad. Which is too bad because normally I would go for chipotle since they have non-GMO ingredients. Just to be clear, the staff was great and the employees seemed to empathize with my frustration. I assume they are just following directions, and probably instructed by management to not prep foods after a certain time. They were very nice, attentive, and good vibes - so shout out to them! :)

    Great portion sizes, nice people, the manager is truly a delight to be served by. Well done Canby…read morechip.
