    Eating tamales y barbacoa on the weekends
    Trixie S.

    The only place in town where I take my Mexican born mom. Enough said. Ps the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Ask for the guacamole. Yum.

    Canned Tomatoes oops I mean Salsa

    Fast ,friendly and enthusiastic service. Unfortunately salsa was not enthusiastic it was lame.Pretty sure it was just canned tomatoes with a few pieces of onion and cilantro tossed in. Just your average gringo salsa. Had "Chicken on the beach" for the main course. Grilled chicken over rice with a cheese sauce. Unfortunately it was seasoning free as well. Chicken was cooked properly just very little flavor overall. Not horrible but not good enough to want to come back and try anything else. 2.5 for food and a.5 for the enthusiastic waiter.

    Guac, chimichanga, and shrimp tacos

    Love it! Real Mexican food, not the "authentic" garbage one usually sees in this area. I especially like their made in house corn tortillas.

    In town for the 2026 Hot Rod Power Tour and stopped here with the crew for some pizza. Initially we…read morewere a lil concerned because the place although open was empty but to our surprise The pizza was amazing - Thin crust, plenty of toppings. Perfect crunch on the crust. We ate 2 large pies and were very happy. If you're in town you must stop by and give it a try.

    No. Just no. We went here a handful of years ago when it opened and it was okay. Today we decided…read moreto go back, but it'll be the last time. The atmosphere is very dark, and it's off putting how poor the interior of the room we were seated in looked--tables stacked upside down on other tables, piles of chairs blocking a door, and wall decor that looks like someone went garage sale shopping. The bread was over baked. The salad with house dressing was the best part of the meal. The meals LOOKED great, but did not taste good at all. I had Chicken Capelini--the texture of the chicken was like overly cooked pre-boiled chicken that was thrown in a pan to brown it. It somehow it managed to be dry and rubbery while floating in a sea of thin broth. My husband's veal was not a cutlet as one might expect, but rather bits of some kind of beef that I strongly suspect were not veal. The damablanca sauce was also super thin with no hint of the usual brandy or Cognac one would expect. It basically tasted like watered down Alfredo sauce.
