We recently celebrated our 30th anniversary there. We had given the restaurant a couple weeks…read morenotice that we would have 24 people. Everything was ready when we showed up.

3.5 stars is probably a more accurate response for me. A 3 indicates that it's acceptable and that…read moreI intend to give it another try before abandoning. A 4 indicates that it's good and I will definitely be back. Food: was pretty good leaning slight closer to more authentic Mexican food than many of similar places in Portage and Kalamazoo. Our table had a burrito, salad, and street tacos. Everyone seem to enjoy the quality and taste. See attached picture of my Burrito Ranchero. The included guacamole, picante, and sour cream are extremely small. Service: expected a little more responsiveness. It wasn't really busy for a Monday dinner seating. But many of our extra requested food items ie fresh jalapenos, cheese, and salsa came later with meal getting cold. Our server had no sense of urgency or hospitality. Atmosphere: We liked the seating which was private enough to have an enjoyable conversation but open enough to observe other around us enjoying themselves. Overall a very pleasant clean place with a warm fun vibe.

I just wanted to mention our waitress Sarah, who gave great recommendations that I definitely enjoyed. I was surprised to find such a great Mexican place in Kzoo.

I was skeptical of trying this place when we were traveling back from Chicago. My partner and I…read morecouldn't agree on anywhere to eat and this is what he came up with which I reluctantly agreed to. The interior was concerning. Looked like a depressing church basement. They had these horrible tvs on that would randomly start blaring mariachi music. Food started off badly. The queso was absolutely disgusting. Horrible burnt flavor and extremely thick texture that I could barely scoop onto a chip. Chips tasted stale. My entree was the only redeeming factor because that was actually really good. Service was slow too even though we were one of the maybe 3 tables seated in the whole place. Took us forever to get our bill to cash out.

We stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday around 1pm on our way home to Michigan from Chicago. As soon as we walked in, there were great smells.

Electric charging available in the lot We loved it!

I ordered the Snake River Farms Wagyu Sirloin, and it tasted a little dry to me. The bearnaise sauce was good. The fries were standard. For the price, I left feeling underwhelmed.

Filthy dining room. Full of flies. And there was an open window to the kitchen. At first I thought…read moreit was only one or two flies and I put napkins over my food and drink, but as the meal wore on, it looked like a small swarm. I started feeling very sick and left. I couldn't even eat half my food because of the flies. They still charged my husband full price despite the insects. The waitress claimed the flies came in with customers. Funny I don't see that at a lot of other (clean) restaurants in summer. Clean places normally don't draw them. And let me repeat -- the window to the kitchen was wide open and that means flies could (and probably did) fly around in there. Ghastly! I would give half a star if I could.

The staff were on top of their service, keeping drinks refilled and generously filled baskets of chips coming. I definitely ate too many chips, they were perfect.

She also has good knowledge about the items on the menu. The chicken quesadilla was juicy and fresh tasting. My guest had the "Mexican" style tacos. If you LOVE cilantro, it might have been good, because it was overloaded. I feel it could have been tasty with a little less cilantro, even after taking much of it off, it was too much. So if you eve get them - tell them "easy on the cilantro"! It's an ok place to eat, a decent change of pace, but honestly, nothing to write home about. The decor is what you always find, the very kitchy "Mexican" wall art and sombreroes.
