My husband thought the enchilada sauce was a little odd, and the steak in my fajitas was tough. However, we loved the salsa! And the tortilla chips were thin, warm and crispy. The rice, beans and Mexican salad were all delicious. I really enjoyed the homemade corn tortillas. Plenty of parking. Handicapped accessible. Clean, friendly, atmosphere.

I ordered the steak tacos -- meat was seasoned pretty well, maybe a little greasy but still good. Rice and beans were just okay. Not bad, just kind of standard. Service was alright. Nobody was rude, but it wasn't super attentive either. Had to ask for a refill and the food took a little longer than expected. Overall, it's one of those places that's fine if you're nearby and craving Mexican food. I wouldn't drive across town for it, but if you're in the neighborhood, it gets the job done.

Ok, if you are looking for one of those spit polished, heavily themed Mexican restaurants ... this…read moreisn't it. If you are looking for something more like a family restaurant, far removed from the tourist areas in almost any Mexican city or town, then you have found the right place. The place is clean. The chairs, tables and booths mismatched and well used but serviceable. The menus photocopied. The lighting is a little harsh. There's the compulsory photo of the Pope and the Madonna hanging in the corner. All of this and great food combine to make this my go to place for authentic Mexican cooking. I just sat down for a carry it dinner of 3 tacos pastor ($7.95 - Mexican style with cilantro, onion and tomato, thank you) some very good rice and the best beans I have had since I moved here from Chicago in 2005. I wish I could have shown you but I thought about pictures after I ate ... the smell was driving me wild! If your looking for real, authentic, family cooked food ... Get off of I-65 at exit 215, drive about 3 miles East to the stop sign, turn left and look for the orange building on the right. You won't be sorry. I'm thinking about going back again tomorrow!

On a recent trip to see my brother, they took me to this place which is their new favorite. I loved…read morethe vibe and decor. My sister-in-law isn't an outdoorsy person, so we ate inside. I would have enjoyed the lovely patio, but it also looked like it was about to rain! Our server was very nice and gave some excellent recommendations. Instead of chips and salsa, we were served their potato flautas. It was a nice change of pace. I usually fill up on chips and salsa and can't finish my main entree. For the table, my brother ordered a house special entree - Mariscada Valero's - which is a variety of sautéed seafood served with tortillas. It was perfect for sharing with our four person group. For my main dish, I ordered the skirt steak tacos with coconut rice on the side. I love coconut and I love rice. Who knew they go together so well! The skirt steak was cooked perfectly. I had my leftovers for breakfast and the skirt steak was still tender! I did try the lobster tacos (my sister-in-law's favorite). They were yummy - although a bit spicy. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it! Overall, we were really happy with everything. I will definitely make it a point to come here on my next visit!

5 of us had dinner on a cool, rainy Saturday night. First time here for all of us. Restaurant was…read moremaybe 1/2 full. Our server was either new or poorly trained. Waited 10 minutes before she approached. She didn't know the drink menu and we waited more than 20 minutes for her return. Then we noticed why. Not only is she waiting tables, she's acting as bartender for her tables, as were the rest of the servers. We found out later that it's the owner's idea to not have a dedicated bartender. Absolutely ridiculous. After she dropped our drinks she took off to a different table. Can we order appetizers? She finally returned, took the app order and then went back to her bartending duties. Cutting to the chase...after we ate our entrees she finally checked back. Way too late to address our concerns about the food. About the menu...way overpriced for what was offered for marginally tasting food. Asked her to divide the check by 3 charging the two couples and the single what was ordered. Big mistake as she tried several times to get it right. Overall it was a bad experience and will not return. Too many options in Valparaiso to settle for this disappointment.

I also ordered the burrito dinner with steak and then I ordered a single steak taco. Both were absolutely delicious.

The one server who was there today, MARISOL, was absolutely wonderful. She checked on me the right amount of times. Things got a little busy, but she did a great job. The restaurant itself is very clean and it's very quiet and it has a cozy feeling to it. Definitely recommend this place.

If I could give one suggestion, it would be to have names attached to orders because when your food is ready they ding a bell and yell out what you ordered, but you're not sure if it's yours or someone else's.

Everything was big, juicy and great tasting. Service was quick and friendly, and the outdoor seating was very comfortable. The Horchata wax actually too big to finish. It's like a 32oz. cup. And it's one of the best Horchata flavors I've had in quite a while. The girl actually scooped it from a large 5 gallon tub. You can tell it's authentic that way. My burrito (steak) was really good, but the steak was not distributed evenly. Half the burrito was lacking meat and the other half was a plethora of meat. Not complaining though; just an observation. Wife liked her tacos as she got them with added avocado.
