    Beef taco
    Lacey D.

    The service was good and the food came quickly. The menu is huge! My husband got the carnitas plate, which he really enjoyed. I ordered a la carte- a beef taco, a chicken enchilada and a tamale. They were all tasty, although the tamale was mostly masa and not much actual filling. I would come back to try different items.

    Special chimi lunch

    We took my boss here for his birthday and I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. 1. They let me bring in a whole bunch of obnoxious balloons and glowsticks to decorate the table with 2. The service was quick 3. Chips and salsa were endless and free-flowing 4. Food was delicious and came out quickly 5. Portions were HUGE. 6. Their lunch menu items are around $5-$6. I REPEAT. THEIR LUNCH MENU ITEMS ARE AROUND $5-6!!! So I got a chicken chimichange stuffed full of shredded chicken, topped with queso and red sauce PLUS guacamole salad, AND rice for $5.85. 100% will be back for the deals AND food!

    This used to be my favorite Mexican for years from 2009 until around 2015. I stopped going bc the food was not up to par and honestly it left me with severe indigestion. I gave them another chance and it wasn't too bad. Cheap Mexican food

    This food was the worst Mexican food I've ever tasted; slop with poor quality ingredients. I'm actually hoping I don't get sick.

Best pineapple margarita ever! Every margarita we have had there has been great, made with fresh ingredients. no pre made drinks here. We love to try the Flan whenever we try a New Mexican place and this is the best, most authentic we have found. Highly recommend!

Has (1) to go order and one other person whom he is talking to , having a shot and making the same guy a to go drink. Never acknowledges me. Never offers a drink menu or a food menu. Continues chatting with the one guy. About 15 people in the restaurant. . Have to ask for a drink menu , then had to ask for a food menu. HAD TO ASK .!!!! Seriously in place that had 2 people at the bar and about 15 people in the restaurant. Owner attitude bad. A waitress was trying to wait on me at the bar and she was confused, not her fault. The owner was a jerk. Like I am doing him a favor spending money in his place. Queso was like water Bye!!! Went to Don's seafood where the hostess pulled out my chair and bartender had a glass of water, drink and food menu before my ass hit the seat. Bar and restaurant busy and those folks understood the assignment. Good work ladies! I eat out a lot and appreciate the folks who work the restaurant industry So many Mexican restaurants with better food and service. Adios Kantunil. Learn how to manage 3 people at the bar!
