Not mentioning the prices they charge, outrageous for the petty amount you get let alone the quality. Service is terrible. The girl at the counter ( I hesitate to say hostess ) could care less that you ordered over the phone or came in to dine. The building itself is one f the stupidest decors I've seen. I think they bought out several bundles of siding left over from Previous jobs. Black white and grey mixed up in no order. I tried them several times and each time was a huge disappointment.

The chicken was SO effin dry, it could have jumped out of the burrito, drank up my entire glass of water, jumped back into the burrito and would have still been too damn dry to eat.

At some point I thought the chicken was going to eat me, simply on the basis of needing some more fluids. Maybe I should have given the burrito a saline solution IV?

If I had to choose a favorite it would probably be the birria, but it's really close as the other 2 were also extremely delicious. My friend was raving about the steak taco.

Los Tres Lagos -- An Absolute Mexican Food Gem!…read more WOW. We just discovered Los Tres Lagos, and I can honestly say this was one of the best Mexican meals we've had in a long time! Everything about our experience was absolutely fantastic--from the food to the service to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is under new ownership, and we had the pleasure of meeting Jordan, the owner. You can tell right away that there is genuine pride and passion behind what they're bringing to the table. Our server, also named Jordan, was absolutely phenomenal. Friendly, attentive, personable, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Top-notch service from start to finish! And the FOOD... We had the chile rellenos, quesadilla, beans, rice, chips and salsa, and guacamole, and every single thing was fresh, flavorful, beautifully prepared, and seasoned perfectly. The chile rellenos were incredible, and everything tasted like authentic Mexican cooking, this is the real deal! The chips and salsa were fresh, the guacamole was delicious, and every bite of our meal was packed with flavor. You can absolutely taste the quality and care that goes into the food. They also offer daily lunch specials and combination platters, so there are plenty of options whether you're stopping in for lunch or sitting down for a full meal. If you haven't tried Los Tres Lagos yet, GO. Give this new ownership a chance to show you what they're doing because they are off to an amazing start. We walked in as first-time customers and walked out already knowing we'll be back. Authentic food. Fresh ingredients. Incredible flavor. Fantastic service. Wonderful ownership.
