    Shrimp fajitas; asked not to be cooked in butter to make it dairy free! Naturally gluten free with corn tortillas. Felt great afterwards.
    Caren D.

    Excellent typical American-Mexican style Mexican food. The waiter was very attentive to our party of 6! Chips and salsa were served as we sat down and refilled when we asked. I got the shrimp fajitas and they were delicious. The fajitas were served with rice, cheese, guacamole, salsa and tortillas. I am gluten free and dairy free so asked for the fajitas to be cooked without butter, no cheese and had the corn tortillas. I felt great afterwards with no issues. The place itself is very spacious. We were sat in a large side room with a few other people and felt like we had a private room! All 6 of us enjoyed our meals. We ordered: shrimp fajitas, seafood burrito, pork tamale, chicken flautas, albondigus soup and the kids got a burger and chicken tenders.

    We drove by one day and noticed The restaurant is really nice. We decided to give this place a shot. We were disappointed with the quality of the food. I thought, oh maybe it was just what I was served - chile verde. I asked my wife how she liked her food (shrimp enchiladas) and she was also disappointed. Same with my mom, disappointed with her food. Really nice place inside and out but the food is not authentic Mexican food. I changed this to a 1 bc I talked to my 10 yr old about his hamburger , he said it was the worse hamburger he ever had. He only took 2 bites of it. :-( for a kid to not like cheeseburger, that's no bueno.

    We had a nice meal at Yolanda's. Service was great and our food arrived promptly. Seating was comfortable and our food was tasty. The sides with the fajitas were really good. Most Mexican Restaurants don't give you guacamole or sometimes not even cheese. But I got guacamole, Tomato and onions, and shredded cheese. The portion size was perfect. My son's chicken quesadilla tacos were good too.

    Love the service and food here!! The Fajitas come in single and double order which are both great to share! One thing to note is that they don't come with rice.

    We're out in the Valley tonight and instead of getting stuck in traffic going home we decided to stop for some Mexican food. So glad we stopped here! The food was sooo good and Ana, our waitress, was so helpful with recommendations and suggestions. Service was fast, even at 5:30pm. The ambiance is very family friendly with a great bar setup. Wish we could come here more often but it'll be a must when in the area!

    Chicken fajita for two. More like enough for 3 or 4.

    We were up to try a different Mexican restaurant, and somehow ran across Yolanda's as a good alternative. The parking is a little weird. Parking in back, walk around and enter the front after hiking up a ramp. A large entryway opens to an impressive looking salsa bar. A busser brought water with chips and salsa almost immediately. The chips were thin and crispy and house made. Not greasy at all. The salsa was well balanced both in sweet-hot-acid, but also viscosity. It stuck to the chips no problem. Pretty soon -- within less than 10 minutes -- our server came and took our drink order. Iced tea. It was most welcome on a hot day, fresh brewed and not from a bag n box machine. For lunch we ordered chicken fajita for two. It was plentiful, with the fajita mix arriving on a sizzling hot cast iron plate. On a side-plate were toppings and sides; the ubiquitous beans and rice. The chicken was tender and the veggies were caramelized perfectly, with charred edges. The seasoning and sauce could have been more... Mexican. I'd have liked more of a spicy rojo sauce. The sauce was more like a thickened clear broth reduction from the chicken and veggies. We could have added cholula or salsa but didn't. We were stuffed pretty quickly so we brought about 1/3 of it home. If you go with three people, you'll have plenty to eat. We never figured out the purpose of the salsa bar...

    Baja Seafood Burrito

    Came here for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. We were seated quickly and our server was friendly. Portion size is very generous and I like that they had a small salsa bar. They also bring out some chips and salsa at the beginning. Would definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu.

    My friends and I came here for dinner the other night and I was absolutely blown away by this spot…read more Visually, it's a stunning place and they've done a fabulous job with the aesthetic as it's the kind of place that feels like a party. Neon lights, cute signage, and overall they just did a really great job with the design and execution. There's a lot going on but it doesn't feel cheap. Ambiance is definitely A+. For dinner on a weeknight we found this spot wasn't too busy but we also came after happy hour. It was a relaxed vibe. Service was overall pretty good. I felt like all of the gals working were very very sweet and nice. Also, anytime we stopped them to ask for refills and such we got what we asked for. That's my only upgrade as since it wasn't super busy, it would have been nice for the staff to catch the refills on water or salsa on their own/more proactively but hey, it was again a relaxed lowkey night and the staff couldn't have been lovelier. I'm just curious how the service would be if they were super busy? Now on to the food and drinks. The menu was very impressive! Solid cocktail and drinks menu. I'm bummed I didn't get a cocktail but my party doesn't drink so it was more fun to get an agua Fresca with them. The guava one was good and served nicely chilled. However, next time I'll definitely get a cocktail because their drinks looked fun and beautiful. The food was definitely the standout for me. I ordered the cheese enchiladas Suizas and they were a 10/10. Not comparable to most enchiladas I've had but the sauce was fantastic and unique. I really loved these enchiladas and I'd honestly get them again. Solid flavor in the rice and beans as well. My friends also enjoyed their meal and it seemed like everyone was happy. The pricing is a little steep for Mexican food but also the ambiance and presentation make sense to me why it'd be a little more. For the three of us the bill was over $100. And that's for three mains and three non-alcoholic drinks. Normally at $33-ish a person I'd hope for at least a beer with my enchiladas, so keep that in mind. As a special occasion place or a spot to celebrate this spot is truly fantastic. I honestly loved my meal so much that even with the price point I'd rush back and bring more friends because this spot is vibey. Nice staff and a cute spot to diner, 5 stars in my books given the quality, taste of the food and the overall experience.

When another nearby venue was lacking live music on a Saturday night, we changed course and headed for this spot. Sitting out on the patio as sunset fell, with an excellent musician playing, was a perfect way to enjoy a late summer evening. I wasn't that hungry, but Dear Hubby ordered fish tacos to go with a beer. He let me sample the fish, which was excellently prepared - crispy exterior, soft interior with a delicate flavor. They offer an ice cream sandwich between two chocolate chip cookies. I asked if I could just have a cookie without the ice cream, so they baked one specially for me. Wow! That earned the 5th star. It's delicious, by the way. And the bill just came - everything was very reasonable. We will certainly add this to our date night / live music venue list!

The place got packed pretty quickly so it was hard to move around. For the most part people just hang out at their table.
