Best Chiles Poblanos Rellenos I have ever eaten would of given 5 stars but their chips & salsa wasn’t anything special. I like lighter chips & chunky salsa. It was 97 degrees that day & their air condition wasn’t keeping the dinning room very cool.

I had higher expectations as this is a more established Mexican restaurant.
The hostesses was ok not too pleasant although I’m not quite sure if language was a barrier but she somewhat smiled as she showed us to our seats. There was no conversation even as I asked how her day was going.
Our drink server was great! I don’t think she understood what all we were saying either but her attitude and smile made up for it. She also checked on us periodically and asked “Everything ok? , or “More soda for you?” as we were waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. She was very pleasant and seemed happy to meet any requests that she understood.
Now as for our server, I don’t know how quite to explain how his overall conduct was. He seemed to be so bothered by the fact that we were waiting for 3 more people to arrive. As we were ready to order he seemed to almost roll his as he was walking up. I didn’t see a need for it, he was just standing there waiting for us to be ready to order and from the time we arrived there was only 2 other parties, both with 2 people each and later a 1 person party arrived. There were 3 of us waiting for 3 more people, we weren’t overly loud or needy. The whole time we were waiting we only had 1 chip refill and 2 of 3 drinks were refilled both waters, and ordered 1 appetizer. When we were ordering we still tried to be upbeat about it as my family was going back home out of state later that afternoon.But he just treated us rather poorly in his overall mannerisms and attitude.
First was the rolling of the eyes, the deep exasperations while going around the table gathering orders.He wasn’t very attentive as he was looking elsewhere while we were ordering as well as tried to take our menus because we ordered an appetizer while we were waiting which we shared when the rest of my family got there. He just said ” Your done?” and tried to take our menus and when we ordered still got 2 orders completely wrong. I have had this server twice before and he always seems to have an attitude. I excused it before as it was just me and my friend but to be like that with my family especially my mom, that just has to be addressed. As well as speaking English in front of customers and not saying any negative remarks because we were there. Just because we speak perfectly good English doesn’t mean we’re not fluent in Español. I just always find it so rude when people do that. If I ever do speak another language I usually interpret what I’ve said.
I usually tip very well despite how we may appear and maybe he thinks there’s no tips in waiting on people like us but still there should be proper server etiquette regardless if one thinks they’re getting tipped or not.
The atmosphere was pretty uptight for being so few people in the restaurant. Just not only myself but my family did not feel welcomed as they did with other restaurants in the state. Also the air inside feels a bit clammy or sticky for it not being very humid outside, they might need better condensers for their a/c or get them serviced before summer hits. Other than that it was fairly clean in the main part of the restaurant and they were sweeping under our table while we were eating. I didn’t see the restrooms so I can’t speak on those, however the windows and glass doors could use more periodic cleaning.
As with my family and friends, I do urge people to always check your cups before drinking out of them. Even going as far as wiping both the inside and outside of the rim, as most dishwashers don’t or aren’t able to target that part of the cups. You might be surprised what gets left on them. Not just at this place but everywhere a restaurant reuses cups and glasses.
The food is ok taste wise. It comes in pretty large amounts, which for the price is fair. I don’t like any cheese sauce in Mexican food as to us it isn’t really authentic. I would rather they ofeered it in a bowl for the whole table to serve themselves when the food is served or as a side in a plastic cup.
I most likely will not be returning to this location.

We put a donation box for survivors of human trafficking. They literally lost it for 2 weeks it had money in it and all the sudden it was gone. Nobody knew where it was or what we were talking about. After 2 weeks and finally just saying all we want it the donation box back they magically found it…empty of course. Its disgusting about like their food. I will never support this place and id hope anyone with morals would eat somewhere else. Thai kithen, carols lakeview diner,maharani’s all very nice places with good food and they dont steal donations from survivors of human trafficking.

Not my slice of tea. Definitely not very authentic. Staff were nice enough.. Guac salad,, chips and salsa and the chicken burrito were not bad, but I would not go back for the Chile relleno or enchilada, which are typically my faves.

This is a regular Mexican restaurant with normal items on the menu. We’ve been there several times. Last time we there we tried some new (new to us) dishes, Malcahete and Pasta San Luis. Malcahete was delicious with unique flavors. It had cactus in it for one. Large serving, my husband and I will share this one next time. My dish Pasta San Luis was also good but heavy on a salt taste. The meat and shrimp in my meal were very flavorfully grilled . It is a great family place too.

Bar none, the BEST Chile Verde I have ever had!! It’s one of my favorite Mexican dishes and I have ordered it at countless restaurants all over the country including in Texas and California. It is authentic and delicious- just the right amount of kick! The service is always good and prompt as well. If I order for take out, when I get it home my entire order is always there and complete. This is by far our favorite restaurant in the area.

Amazing food. It made it possible to lose 8 pounds overnight. I did have to stay up all night, and there were many accidental expulsions from both ends. Highly recommend it for immediate weight loss.

The location was very busy and they gave amazing customer service! We will frequent this establishment when in the area. The chimichanga with shredded beef and the Chile poblano were terrific! Thank you for a great dining experience!
