Excellent experience here at this Mexican restaurant right next to sprouts!

Inside and outside seating available. We came on a Friday around 12:30 pm. Not busy. Plenty of seats available.

Loved the decorations and attention to detail. Very clean restaurant inside. Good atmosphere.

Estella was such an excellent staff member. Very friendly, very helpful, very polite, and very helpful as I was trying to figure out what to eat.

For our 1st time there, it was a great choice. The food was amazing, fresh, delicious, great flavor.

Plenty of parking.

We called ahead of time inquiring about their vegetarian selections. A very friendly lady picked up the phone, and let us know that they were very accommodating for vegetarians and even vegans. So we went over, and decided to dine in. I ordered two crispy potato tacos which were loaded with greens and cheese, and it was very deliciously filling. The same lady who picked up our call took our order. I didn’t get her name but she was all smiles when we walked in, and was very friendly. The eatery as well is clean and orderly.

Went to this restaurant for lunch a couple of weeks ago on a Friday. They serve authentic Mexican food. The portions are huge and the taste is awesome.
Their salsa is delicious as well. The manager and the staff are very friendly and helped us with the menu choices.

Will surely visit again.

I ordered two carne asada burritos, two carne asada soft tacos, and a cheese quesadilla. Total out the door was around $80.

The good:
The soft tacos were pretty good. This unfortunately was the best part of the meal.

The quesadilla was a standard white cheese variant and was not too bad. Just average.

The bad:
As for the carne asada burritos.

1) They made it a wet burrito. I wanted a burrito that I could eat with my hands, not a knife and fork.

2) There was so much rice in contrast to the steak and beans that it might as well be called a rice burrito. It can’t even be given a title of a rice and bean burrito due to the volume of rice in the burrito. The cheese was not even in the burrito. I didn’t even make it 1/3 of the way through the first burrito. My disappointment was so immeasurable that I threw away the first and second burrito without even looking at it. Did I mention how disappointed I was with this meal? I had such high hopes that this place could be my go-to Mexican restaurant.

3) There was hardly any carne asada in it. The food is overpriced for what you get, and the flavor was average.

Nothing special with this place. Nothing to write to Grandma about.

Save your money and go elsewhere.

Great choice for tonight’s dinner. The salsa was fresh made and delicious. I dined in and they volunteered more when I used up the first portion. The Shredded burrito had a generous amount of beef with great flavor.
Would definitely order that again good value for the price too.

I love tacos. I stopped at Olamendis Mexican food restaurant today for lunch. I was greeted with a big smile from Anna as I walked in. She exemplified what good customer service is all about. Super Friendly and happy, which made me glad I stopped there right away. If you want to experience true Mexican hospitality and good food stop at this Olamendis. I ordered the soft chicken tacos. Anna suggested some guacamole and that was perfect for the soft tacos. Anna made my day. They have take- out and delivery now, so you order and have their great food delivered to your door. That is so helpful with what is going on in the world right now. Those were some of the best tacos I have ever eaten. I will have a smile on my face for the rest of the afternoon. Olamendis is now my favorite placeto go for fantastic Mexican food.

We visited from the SF Bay Area and were pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh & authentic. The portion sizes were large. They had a friendly and helpful staff to explain their best dishes. Nice & clean tables setup outside with umbrellas. We had a great meal in MV on a Thursday evening for two people = $28 including chips, salsa and drinks.

First time here and it was so delicious!!! This will definitely be my go to Mexican restaurant in this area. The chile relleno and cheese enchilada were amazing! My husband had the chilequiles and was impressed. But don’t take our word for it- come try it yourself!

Best Chile Relleno ever! ️I cant wait to come back and order more food to try out. It was my first time coming to this restaurant, and I was so lucky to be at the right time because a nice lady (friend of the chef) bought me and my family a delicious flan dessert to try out and it was so fresh! ✨The chef and the staff were so nice as well. You can tell the chef loves what he does, because the food he prepares is so ! Not dissapointed! & I’ll come back!!
