Choripollo was really good but a bit too many onions.
Nancy C.

We were starving after visiting the Lucy and Desi Museum. So happy that we found this gem down the street. I love Mexican Food and it's hard to find classic, authentic Mexican Food. They really delivered. The chips and salsa were good to start. My mom and I loved our chimichangas. They were so crunchy and flavorful. My husband enjoyed his choripollo (chorizo and chicken) but it had too onions and cheese even though he said no cheese. The waitress was very nice and attentive. Definitely go check them out.

YES! YES! YES! Look no further for good food downtown. This is your place. Ordered several dishes and all is delicious AND authentic. My in-laws are Mexican, I'm from southern CA, trust me -- this is what you want to eat if you are craving Mexican food. If you want to judge a book by it's cover, go spend $60 on a plate of fancy experimental yuppy food elsewhere. Only true foodies need eat here. Thanks for the smorgasbord of deliciousness to go! Oh, and the takeout containers are non-leaching #5 recyclable polypropylene for those concerned, not typical #6 carcinogenic non-recyclable polystyrene. Ya know, for those concerned about their health, the planet, and good taste -- still not applicable to superficial yuppies.

Rice with refried beans, salsa sour cream and guacamole

This restaurant is everything we always hope to find when venturing into new territory- a friendly family operated establishment where the food is delicious, the service is friendly and prompt at a price that doesn't break the bank. Our meals were both delicious- the biggest problem was that the menu is so big you really have a hard time deciding what to order- everything looks so good! But no matter what you decide to have you are guaranteed to enjoy it! Eat in or take out, the food is ready in no time just the way you ask for it. This place is not on a route that we usually take when traveling west but I guarantee that we will be going out of our way to visit Damaris and her family again. The only thing that was better than the food was the

Delicious chicken and steak fajitas with rice, beans and corn tortillas. Good service.

Burritos with white sauce and tacos in the rear.
Phil G.

Food is over the top! The restaurant was recommended and I was glad we went. Our friend had tacos, my partner the burritos with a white sauce and me the grilled chicken with a red sauce. All the freshest hand made ingredients. I love Mexican and this is the best in Chautauqua County. Super reasonable price. Service was attentive, but something other than casual street clothes would be recommended. (Possibly a restaurant workers vest?) The place is tired and could use an update. Great for carry out I guess, cuz you gotta taste the food.

The flautas meal.

I honestly think our last experience was just a fluke or off night for the wait staff and kitchen. This time everything we ordered was accurate and well seasoned. Our waitress was super fast and friendly. Our food was delicious in every single way. We loved the shrimp scampi, the salad was crisp, and the loaded jalapeño potato bites with white cheddar and tender juicy pulled pork were absolutely mouth watering. Our in house made desserts were out of this world,especially the addictive coconut cream! The owner came over and served us our desserts, she was such a nice lady. She's also a very talented cook because she makes the pulled pork and desserts herself. I highly recommend! We'll be back!

Today we arrived and we're greeted by Mindy. I was cautiously optimistic, but right off the bat things we're looking promising. She seated us in our favorite area and advised us on the menu and specials. We ordered drinks and Shrimp Cocktail and Lobster Bisque app. The drinks, ambience, appetizers and company were all perfect. Then we ordered the mains. We had the Seafood Medley with asparagus and broiled Cajun haddock with broccoli. Both arrived in good time, cooked perfectly. We were given good portions, not skimpy like some places. We don't often get dessert, but when Mindy told us they were made in-house and the coconut pie was gluten free, we had to. I ordered the peanut butter pie. Both were a perfect ending to a wonderful experience. I don't often review, but I had to this time because it was so good. I also don't believe in 5-star reviews but I can't think of anything that was wrong. Go there, you won't be disappointed.

The ranch dressing is so good with the wings and salads. It's not runny and must be made in-house. On a cool night, I'll also order the French onion soup. Service is always friendly and quick. The remodel gives them more space and the patio is great when we bring our dog with us. The bathroom in the expanded space is newer and more spacious. We love supporting this local restaurant.

For my drive back to Cleveland from skiing at Holiday Valley I was looking for a place along the…read moreroute to grab some fish and chips for dinner. Steener's Pub popped up and the reviews were good. Located in Bemus Point just a couple of miles from I 86 made for a convenient stop. Steener's is located a bit outside of the Bemus Point main drag, but there are a couple of other businesses nearby. The building looks modern from the outside, inside it looks like the original bar area has been there quite a while, they then added a dining room and later a second dining room. The decor is casual tavern style, lots of wood and mellow colors without much extra. The menu is a nice mix of typical bar food with a good selection of fish and seafood which makes sense for a place so near to Chautauqua Lake. Service was good, the waitress was friendly. I ordered the fish and chips since it was highlighted in the menu. The order came out quickly, a huge batter fried fish fillet on top of a load of fries with side cups of tarter sauce and coleslaw. The fries and coleslaw were just what you expect, good but nothing special. The fish was outstanding, mild flaky white fish in a perfectly crunchy coating; delicious and very satisfying. My only complaint was that while it was nicely presented on a square plate, having the huge fish fillet on top of the fries made it difficult to eat since I had to move the fish around to get to the fries and cutting the fish with the fries underneath did not work well. I appreciate attractive food presentation is important, but this was too much food for the size of the plate. I really liked my dinner at Steener's, if they could raise the level of the side dishes to match the fried fish this would be truly exceptional. Keep making great fish, just upgrade the rest of food to match.

Of course you style your burger how you like just be ready to eat multiples due to the small size and deliciousness of your meal.

Despite busy lunch rushes, the staff at always greet you with a smile and work quickly to deliver your order. There is a reason this small family run restaurant has thrived for decades and it is a must stop for everyone visiting Lakewood.
