This is a great restaurant, conveniently located in downtown area of Claremont. I have been here, many times. It was in March and April of 2021, when the lockdown restrictions were lifted. I would come here, after work, to enjoy some Margaritas, Pina Coladas, or delicious burritos. Everything was done well, especially meals. The waiters and waitresses, who attended my table, were helpful and attentive. Nevertheless, on Fridays, there was a wait, between 15-30 minutes to get seated. Still, I did not mind the wait, since meals were delicious. I will come back again. Still, I need to accumulate some discretionary funds. Since the meals and drinks can get pricey!

It is a nice Mexican restaurant, located in downtown area of Claremont! It was on of the few restaurants, that reopened, after the COVID-19 lockdowns, in 2021. Thus, after work, in 2021, I would come to enjoy some cocktails. In addition, they had a good selection of Mexican meals. They were quite delicious. Of course, the prices were on the expensive side. Nevertheless, the working staff was friendly, and helpful. Furthermore, the meals were delicious. So, the prices were worth it. At the same time, on Fridays, there is a wait to get seated, usually it is between 15-30 minutes. So, if people don't mind to wait, it is quite worth it. I didn't mind the wait, since cocktails were well prepared, and meals were delicious. Definitely, I will come back again. However, I need to have some disposable cash first. Since the prices do add up!

So glad they're getting back to what they used to be. I still miss the carnitas and chile Colorado, but the soup is back up to par, the chips and salsa are still good, everything we ordered was good. The service was great as is usually the case, but I really do miss those 2 items. I hope they bring them back!!! I'll come more often if they do

This place is the best! I've been going here for 50 years! When they were in Pomona I used to eat their chips and salsa constantly when I was pregnant. The salad and chips and salsa are my fave!

If I could give negative stars, I would!!! The worst "Mexican" food I've ever had, so bad that I cannot believe they feed this to their patrons! Tonight I ordered a burrito with: Beans, Cheese, Rice, lettuce and Chicken and I got a burrito with no beans. It was horrible, and the rice had no flavor.... One time I waited 45 minutes to get my check to leave....I had to sit and wait and wait while my wife and kids waited for me in the car and when I asked for my check I was told "just a minute"... Honestly I debated with myself on just leaving and not paying. Bad service, bad food, bad staff...

Was a great place for white washed Mexican food. Portions are large and they are heavy on the drinks. Nice location

Decent lunch, open burrito which was basically all the ingredients on a bowl plate but without the tortilla. Might return to try a full dinner to see if they can pull it off.

good food, tasty and served promptly. The staff was friendly. Our family ordered an array of different foods and each of us thought we has the best plate. good bartender and the place was fun.

Great place to eat and watch the game!

We eat here whenever we really want a good meal that just makes us feel like we chose the right place. It's always the right place! The foods is great and the staff is the absolute best! Friendly, accommodating, helpful. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the company of friends and have a good meal.
