Excellent Margaretas! Had an amazing appetizer; a pound of large shrimp perfectly prepared. We could and probably should have stopped there but we also had an excellently prepared meal too. Great service. Premises appeard pleasant and clean. My first time there.

Some of the better Tex mex I’ve had sincemoving to Washington. Queso was solid, chips tasted fresh, and the reviews declaring big portions are accurate!We enjoyed some enchiladas and a seafood chimi, both were really good.Overall, good stop in Mt Vernon.

I ordered a Deluxe Tostada and a side order of Chile Releno, my boyfriend ordered Carne Asada. My Chile Releno was decent, wasn't anything to die for. My Deluxe Tostada was okay until I got a weird hard piece and it kind of grossed me out. I decided not to eat it even though I only took 2 bites ?. My boyfriend's Carne Asada on the other hand was delicious and the meat was tender it was done very well. Chips and salsa was also super good. They also took the price off of the Deluxe Tostada when my boyfriend asked them if they could.

Great drinks and great food. However the wait staff can be a little rude. I come here for lunch often but on a recent trip one of the staff was very rude and even rolled their eyes at me.

Been here twice, food was awful and the rice has been completely inedible both times I’ve been. Skip if you are looking for good or authentic Mexican food.

Good food, stood in line for awhile waiting to pick up. They told me after waiting for a little over 20min that they assumed I was waiting for another group, but my food was ready and had been sitting for that long. All in all, still decent, just needed a better process.

Had a great time! Food was delicious and the service was very good considering it was pretty busy on a Wednesday night

Food is good. Well done interior. The staff and food is the same as the last business owners. I went in at about 4:45pm and I believe there was only 1 server on duty. It took a while to get noticed at the reception desk, but the guy did OK for being the only one on duty. My margaritas was decent.

I've eaten here a couple of times and had take out couple of times. The last time we ate there was on a Sunday evening and they were pretty busy. There were 5 of us in our party. We had planned to eat at a different Mexican restaurant but they were closed due to Covid. That may have been a factor in the quality of the food and service.Actually, the service was okay, but they were serving the meals erratically, not table, by table but one person from one table would get served and then one person from a different table would get served, etc. So the first person at our table was completely finished by the time the last person received their food. I don't think that's the server's fault. However, it was a long wait and they didn't refill our water glasses at all.That brings me to the food. I do find their salsa mild and tasty. The chips are ok. I ordered a "deluxe" tostada without sour cream and it had to be the most pathetic tostada I have ever seen, especially for a "deluxe". The most deluxe thing about it was the amount of lettuce that covered the entire plate so you couldn't see the one small flat tortilla shell on the bottom, or the minute smear of refried beans on top I the tortilla. The next layer was a mixture of watery sauce and tiny bits of ground beef over the beans and tortilla making everything super soggy. Then came the lettuce that was piled on and the tiniest amount of cheese shreds I've ever seen scattered over the lettuce (I probably could count the individual shreds on one hand. Then to top everything off was a dollop of flavorless quacamole. I tried adding salsa and Chalupa sauce to give it more flavor, but then it was even a soggier mess. It wasn't just my dish that was unsatisfactory, every adult at our table complained about the meat portion of their meal. The chicken in the one kids meal that was ordered looked good, but I can't say how it tasted.I have eaten here other times where the chili relleno was okay, but again had a watery, rather tasteless sauce rather than a rich, full flavored sauce that didn't soak through the outer coating. I ended up adding the salsa from the chips to give it more flavor, but again it made it even soggier. I don't like giving negative reviews based on on experience especially during Covid. The servers were working hard to get the food out as it was prepared, it's just the food was being prepared in a very disjointed manner. The meats, sauces, quacamole and presentation need improvement. IMHO.

We did Doordash last night and I'm so happy I chose them because the portions were huge and so yummy! My husband was yelling at me "what did you order??" Um... I just got a chili rellano and enchilada babe. So good! They even gave us chips with salsa, sour cream, and guac on the side. Chicken tortilla soup was on point. Will definitely be getting more food from them?
