I love the interior decor of this place and the food is excellent. Add to the the fact that it’s located on Route 66 makes it even better. The salsas is what I recommend and I’m partial to enchiladas.

First off our waitress was very good. As a matter of fact the entire wait staff appeared to be doing a great job. Where the quality failed was with the Navajo Taco. It came to the table "sooo" quickly we knew it had not just been prepared.. while the plate was hot, the food was not... It easily could have been prepared hours before we ordered it. The fry bread was not hot nor just cooked, tough as a boot and cold. The refried beans-cold, not tasty... the shredded beef-cold and did not taste good. Then from there was shredded lettuce- did not look fresh, cheese, onions and a blop of sour cream thrown in the middle. I had 3 bites to wash my draft beer (you can't screw up draft beer) down. The table and area around the table was not particularly clean and as we walked out of the restaurant it was obvious the restaurant was unloved. Dirty floors, dirty trash cans..., in general just dirty. A real disappointment all around regarding the food and condition of the restaurant.

I would like to thank the wait staff and manager for being so attentive to needs throughout the meal experience. Prices were very fair for the quality of the meal and experience. The appetizer of roasted corn was exception. Our meals were hot, flavors were excellent, and servce was pleasing. The manager was extremely attentive to all guests even though it was very busy. A no fuss place with excellent food, excellent staff, and routine atmosphere. We felt no push to get us out, but out meal time from sit down to check was excellent. It's a must repeat. See you this week.

Really enjoyable southwest comfort food. Loved the fact that the typical 'chips and salsa' you get at standard mexican restaurants was kicked up a notch with green salsa and pico de gallo also. The sopapilla was a huge portion size and the staff were attentive and friendly. My only regret is not living closer so I could visit more often!

I typically start by judging the salsa and chips. I'm one of those that usually fills up on chips and take half my dinner home because I've filled up on chips. None of the three of us cared for the salsa, we did however love our dinners and the service was outstanding. Not to be too harsh on the salsa, we did get an order of queso to go, but unfortunately didn't care for it either.

Nice happy hour drinks and apps. Three salsas to try with the chips. The hot one- wasn't though. If you got 3 to choose from and you want the hot one, why not make it hot. People who don't want hot can try the other two.? Food and portions were pretty good. Over all, if I were passing through again I may stop here again.

This was by far the best Mexican food I've ever had. The drinks were great. The food was fantastic. The service was great. Overall great experience. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed a nice meal with family and service = excellent. food was okay. I had a chimichanga blanco. They do offer a pineapple salsa w regular salsas which was unique. service was top notch for ppl travelling i recommend. usually a wait I hear but did not wait long tonight. I will return again.

My husband & I shared tacos because we just wanted something light to eat & they were really good. We also ordered the crème brûlée cheesecake and key lime pie to go…. and oh my goodness I’ve never had better dessert than those two! They were incredible!!

Had the sopapilla with smoked chicken. It was really great. The waiter was young/ new never asked if I wanted a drink refill and we both only got a little napkin with our food and I had to track him down to get more napkins. Would definitely eat here again.
