I've come to this restaurant several times and really enjoy the food. The service has always been so good and the staff are all so very friendly. It feels like an authentic Mexican food experience whenever I step inside. They have happy hour specials 2-5 Monday through Friday. Some of the items feel a little overpriced, but overall it's truly a wonderful place! read more

Recently stopped here for lunch at the recommendation of someone. It's a bit out of the way from the usual main stops in Santa Maria, but they have a parking lot and lots of space to sit inside. I opted for a grilled chicken burrito, which was delicious. The service was great and quite a few people were dining in. My issue and reason for giving 4 stars is due to live music they had playing in the restaurant that was obnoxiously loud. I couldn't hear to even have a conversation at my table, let alone communicate with the waitress. It was horrible. I would have moved outdoors if they had outdoor tables. Had that been playing when I walked in, I would've left. It was not an enjoyable stop for lunch. read more

Food: 3.75. Came by to meet some friends for lunch on a Sunday. Place was moderately busy. Complimentary chips and salsa were brought to our table. I wish the chips were more crispy instead of crunchy. I ordered their asada fries. I requested the fries to be crispy / well done. Food came out timely and at the right temperature. Fries were indeed crispy. Overall, the dish was good. Service was friendly and welcoming. During our lunch, mariachis performed. They were loud but it was a memorable experience. read more

Who ever the Sunday chef is needs to be trained to cook hot food. Now this place is my go to for one specific plate I like. Well Sunday wasn't the day to go. My whole plate came out cold af including the tortillas. Rice cold. Beans lukewarm. Meat burnt and lukewarm. Tortillas hard an barely warm. Iv never had a bad experience here so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Who ever working Sunday thow back there need to do better. read more

Favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The aguas Frescas are delicious and homemade. Favorite is the mojarra frita (fried tilapia)

Small cozy place with homemade tasting food and great service. My Go To for Mexican breakfast in Santa Maria from now on.

My favorite restaurant in town! They have the best Mexican food. Must try the camarones empanizados with a side of diabla sauce!!!! They have very friendly staff, and are always quick to check in on us. Love it!!! read more

Went there for a private event not too long ago -- I love how quick and efficient the service was and the food was so good! If you can handle spice, i recommend the camarones!!! read more

The last time I was here, it was called Connie's Restaurant. Right at the start finding the service is really great here, the server gave us advice on what to buy. Then we had another young lady come up to us and greet us just with pleasantries and wished me a happy birthday and when leaving again thanked and wished me a happy birthday. I got to say the menudo is probably the best menudo in town. I use to frown on too much meat and not enough hominy and not as good as my sister's menudo, and I've tried most of the Mexican restaurants here in town and gave up and now just buy a can of Juanita's Menudo and a can of pato sauce. I was first skeptical because this menudo didn't come with hominy, but after putting g in the onions, cilantro and lemon I can again say this is the best menudo in town. The meat was tender and onions sweet. This is where I'm getting my menudo in the future, I may have to buy a can of hominy if they don't include it. There was 5 of us and we couldn't finish the Plato Mexicano, we needed 3 take out containers. If you haven't been here you need to check it out. read more

Its ok i ordered chilaqthis last time again an not bad but not great. Ive gone to this restaraunt couple times an uts always beem just 2 outa 5 stars. There's better out there . Im doen going back read more

Not great food and bad ambience. They would try need a chef even after the cleanup. It's important to make sure that the building and food is remarkable it's important to know you are the best out there in every category. That's how you know you are there. read more

Really good food, and fast service, clean area, I order the chilaquiles and it was really good

We average a visit once every two years, but it is our favorite Mexican restaurant in SMA. Service is always friendly and prompt. Restaurant is clean, and ubiquitous Latin music is set at just the right level to enjoy w/out taking away from conversation. The food? It's good. I'm a fan of the chips and salsa, and the servings are more than decent in quantity. Overall, a solid establishment , and our 'go to' place for Mexican. Cheers! RS read more

I love their chiliquilis! So much flavor. My kids love their carne asada burritos. We eat here at least once a week.

Straight up great food! Tacos, hard, soft, enchiladas, relleno's are great. I love the flavor of the beans (hard for me to find believe it or not in LA) and the rice was good as well. Will be back to try Chile Colorado, Steak Picado etc! Service from 2 guys on Saturday-afternoon was awesome! They were all over it. Thanks Guys! Certainly come bu here if you want a good food experience! read more

It's a good spot. Some items are better than others. The sopes are great... most of their dishes are very good. Their meat can be hit or miss so when it's a real meat focused dish, like tacos, the meat may be dry. But overall a good spot I'd recommend to friends. read more

Food and service is amazing. Highly recommended. We come every time we are lucky enough to pass thru Santa Maria.

The food could have been better if it was hot n fresh. The flavors of the food was ok. Had the big burrito with carne asada and the meat was plentiful but hard and cold. Did we mention this to the waiter no but I should have. The place is nice n quiet and the waiter was very kind. Would we come back probably not. We did tell the waiter it was our first visit but I guess I expect too much. The best part was the fresh chips and salsa. read more

Great server!!!! My food and son was ok, However crap on my fork. Had to wait 10 minutes for a clean fork. Son in-law food was delayed. They messed up on order. Think cooks messed up. His meal came last, took a bite, food was cold. And only partial order. Always had like this places but not going back, they will survive without us but plenty other better places we will eat with family. Not going to post cold food waiting to eat. read more

Wow, so this happened. In the 90's I used to go to a restaurant named "Connie's". Always had good food and good prices. Then they disappeared from the yellow pages, from yelp and any other place I could think of finding them. Fast forward (sound of pages tearing) to 2017, and Connie's is now El Pueblito (the little town). All orange and wood on the inside- yeah, that takes a mighty will, but stay for the food- Ot's delicious, freshly prepared and pretty generous (servings). My friend and I split a #16 (chile relleno, cheese enchilada and a hard-shell chicken taco, rice, beans) and a couple of glasses of water, along with the complimentary chips and spicy salsa, and were out for under $20 with a $4 tip. Easy peasy. I'll def. be back! read more

I come here often, they have excellent carne asada burritos in addition to other great food, highly recommended.

Haven't been here in awhile. Decided to stop by with lunch with my husband. The staff was great. Very kind and friendly. The food on the other hand was disgusting. I think canned beans tasted better. The food was trash. read more

The food is fresh and tasty! Big portions and generous sizes! The service was phenomenal and they kept refilling our chips and dip. Brought us big size lime and water.
