Reviews
The cheese chilli Relleno meal and carne guisada lunch plate were delicious. The food is fresh, well seasoned with large portions.
Love the beautiful, large building with tons of seatings in several different dining rooms.
We will be back to try your margaritas & fajitas next time!!
The fajita nachos were the real disappointment. They used the exact same chips they give you for free when you sit down — the ones already struggling under all that chili powder. So once they piled fajita meat and toppings on them, the chips gave up immediately and turned soggy. And the beef fajita they used on those nachos was the part that really missed the mark. They were overcooked and nothing memorable. And when a chain like Rosa’s is beating you in flavor, that’s not the comparison you want for a family-owned place.
The “free” chips on the table weren’t great to start with — way too much chili powder and no unseasoned option. Some were coated so heavily it felt like they were wearing makeup. Salsa was also basic, nothing special.
I ordered a Modelo dressed (lime and salt rim) and they gave me a lime slice instead of a wedge. Looks nice on a plate or a margarita, sure, but not helpful when you’re trying to squeeze it into your beer. A wedge would’ve actually worked better.
Overall, the food didn’t live up to the hype or the prices. Terrible and just very average — the kind of meal you know you’ve had better versions of somewhere else.
The only good meal was my daughter’s chicken tenders and fries. Hard to mess those up, and she was happy, so that part was a win. Only been here on other time and I remember why. Definitely don’t get the popularity of this place with its mediocre Tex-Mex food that you can have better version at elsewhere.
. BUT Service was great WAS nice new ceiling but only 1-fan in the center of the restaurant BECAUSE stared get I little warm with crowd. no music playing except for the in kitchen. Very busy a little bit loud, but was OK overall experience. Heard a lot regulars in the background friendly older environment. They do runs specials on certain days.
We got the chicken chimichunga and the Pollo asado. Pretty much all the chicken was not pleasant. I only ate 2 bites of my chicken chimi, and my daughters Pollo asado chicken was rather thin and rubbery. My kids liked the chip and salsa, the chips were deliciously hot but they had some thick extra seasoning on them. I’ve seen that before and don’t really care for it personally, but the kids liked it.
The rive and beans were good, though they had an odd taste? But good enough that I ate them and found them fairly okay.
Oh and one of the kids was drinking pink lemonade and after her first cup the server refilled it with water. I’m not sure if that was a mistake or if they don’t offer refills? But I didn’t empty my cup so I don’t known if I’d have gotten a refill or water next.
Sadly, not a restaurant I’d visit again, though they definitely deserve at least one more try.
We started with the chips and salsa, and let me tell you, they were fresh, warm, and perfectly salted. The salsa had just the right kick of spice without overpowering the flavor.
For the main course, I had El Pollo a la Mexicana with rice and beans, and everything was cooked to perfection. It was rich and flavorful, and the portions were generous. My table also tried the Beef/Shrimp Fajitas and Chile Relleno and everyone was raving about how tender and well-seasoned the meat was.
The service was excellent and our drinks were always refilled before we even had to ask.
Overall, this place nails everything you’d want from a Tex-Mex spot: great food, great vibes, and great people. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!
Pros:
-The service was amazing (Michelle), food came out quick, and we always had chips, salsa, and water.
– good atmosphere
– large variety on the menu
-affordable
-the food was mostly very good. I loved their chips and salsa
-again, the service was awesome so I need to mention that again.
Cons:
-we ordered two steak a La Mexicana meals and for some reason one was cooked different than the other. Mine was more “boiled” texture and the other was more charred (grilled) flavor. The inconsistency was weird there.
-Shrimp quesadilla had a lot of cheese. Even for someone who likes cheese there was a lot of cheese.
-Flautas were really really burnt on the ends but the inside was delicious.
-Verde sauce tasted too earthy for me.
Overall, I would come here again but saying it’s the best Mexican food I’ve ever had would be a stretch. But I loved the atmosphere, service, and the food was pretty good.
