    Beef and Chicken Molcajete
    Andrew H.

    If a restaurant serves molcajete, you get the molcajete. No exceptions here. Lots of flavor and plenty of food to make 5 tacos. Pineapple, Cactus and Jalapeño oh my.

    Ranchero salad with chicken, hold the cheese

    This is a solid place to go for Mexican lunch or dinner. The parking lot is a little tight and seems to always be full. Inside is spacious, comfortable with festive decor. You can count on good service, good food and hearty servings. The complimentary after meal "popper" (7-up w/splash of tequila) is a nice touch.

    Jalapeño Margarita

    The environment was pleasant. Murals on the walls of authentic Mexican scenery. The fresh Tortilla, keso, salsa and bean dip are amazing. The Spicy Jalapeño Margarita is to die for

    The bar with its own entrance  is mostly separated from the restaurant.

    I was considering a light lunch but ended up with much more. The Chicken Tortilla bowl of soup was a meal in itself with plenty of chicken, tortilla strips, cheese and some vegetables . I order as a side the small chicken enchilada. It wasn't small and came in a puddle of melted cheeses, coleslaw and was stuffed with shredded chicken. In addition, I was given chips, a watery salsa and a small bowl of refried beans with a garnish. Seeing a spoon in the salsa it finally occurred to me that the salsa there to add flavoring for the beans. Ice tea came in a quart jar. All the food was very good. The service was good and the restaurant interior is nicely decorated with booths for privacy.

    We've been going to this restaurant since before the pandemic, always find time to stop by here on the way back to California. Good food with huge servings, good service. The ambiance is laid back, pretty crowded on Sundays especially during lunch. We miss the free queso dip but you can still buy some from the menu. We also visited them during the pandemic, they were doing to go orders and did pretty well to handle that challenge. Sometimes we also just do takeouts if we're in a rush. The to go food trays are so large, you'd think it's for catering a group of people. Solid place and worth a quick detour from the freeway. Hope they stick around for a long time and keep their food quality great.

This place reminds me of the fish houses in Reedsport, minus the salt air and seagulls. Servers were patient as we perused the extensive menu, and attentive after we ordered. The bar had more ambience than the main room with rows of white tables. Trying to avoid bibs and a brown meal, I opted to try both the cod and shrimp tacos. Note to self: ask chef to skip finishing salt, as I had more than my usual 'restaurant water weight' the next day. The extra-thick napkins -as every woman knows-are worth keeping in purse or car if you aren't a particularly messy diner. {can I buy some?} I'd read about the marinara (East Coast style) as shellfish sauce; my partner thought it was ok, while I would have preferred the traditional cioppino broth or the white wine scampi broth that my sister raved about. Her mussels really should have included bread instead of just a spoon so as not to waste that broth. In a second visit, appetizers (including the won ton poke tacos) and a beer left no room for dessert. My partner spent his GC on 4 2# Dungeness Crab, which were cleaning thoroughly and steamed to perfection- Great feasting to start the new year. Will definitely check out the patio when warmer weather returns.

Well, folks, I finally stopped at Freddie Lee's Seafood and Smorgasbord! I'm so glad I did. I met Freddie Dunbar and I asked him what everyone loves, so he made me shrimp! I got the five piece, and it came with a pile of amazingly seasoned fries and some homemade Cole slaw. He also gave me some hot sauce (it's like he knew me!) and his homemade dipping sauce. Oh man, all of it was so delicious! While nothing NEEDED to be dipped, the sauce was too good not to be used. I saw a fish sandwich on his page and it looks MOUTH WATERING. And you best believe I'm coming back to try that chicken. (As you can see I've been back for the chicken) Here's another experience of mine at Freddie's- Oh man. Freddie has spoiled me! I'll never eat at KFC again. You could seriously sell the skin off this chicken for loads of money! The flavor is amazing! The chicken was so tender and juicy, I didn't even use sauce! The coleslaw always hits the spot, but there's something about the mac salad that has me hooked. It's almost like he mixes the cooked egg yolks in. So delicious! Thanks for the fuel for the rest of the day Freddie Lee's Seafood Smorgasbord!

It came out fairly quickly and was delivered by the robot as well as the woman who took my order. First of all the pancakes were the best I have ever seen at any Asian restaurant ever!!!! they were hot, thin, delicate, but strong and tasted great. The Moo Shu mixture itself was fine; however, no sauce was provided. I've never had that experience. Always before either plum sauce or hoisin sauce has been provided and it makes the dish wonderful. I would've asked for hoisin sauce, but I never saw my server again. She never came back to check on me until it was time to pay the bill. I am going to go back and give it another try but this time when I placed my order, I am going to specify that I would like hoisin sauce. If I were going to recommend any improvement for this restaurant, it would be that the server is more friendly and checks in on you a few minutes after serving you to ask if you need anything else so that you can fully enjoy your meal.
