I enjoyed the chimichanga the first time, but the best entree was the Rancheros tacos. They are three delicious deep-fried flour tacos served with beans and rice. I agree with other reviewers that the free chips and salsa are bland, but three hot sauces are available at the table if you want to spice it up. Don't forget the fried ice cream for dessert. Booth and flat-top seating in a quaint, Hispanic-themed restaurant with very decorative tables and music. Parties of 5 or more may have a wait, per the sign on the door. DoorDash and takeout. No credit card fee. Lunch and combo specials. Competitive pricing. The food comes out quickly with good service. Large strip mall parking lot. I have and will return.

We have had this from several Mexican restaurants across the USA. We were excited to see it on the menu. It was disappointing....the only thing really grilled was the jalapeno On the top. The chicken was tiny curly strips...never saw a grill. There was absolutely no flavor. The side was a plate with beans and rice....no lettuce, sour cream or guacamole.

Service is very good and friendly. Ambiance is a bit on the hole in the wall side, but clean. I'm not too excited about the country music, but I guess the local community does.

Small portion Refried pinto beans and Mexican Rice as expected kinda bland and not very warm at all upon arriving at the table. With only one other person in the restaurant and ordering only one entrees I expected faster service and hot food. The plate was the warmest part of the meal.
