Reviews
This is the second time I’ve eaten here and the second time I’ve gotten violently sick. I first tried this place shortly after moving to Lakewood about 8 months ago and decided to give it one more chance with a different meal. That was a huge mistake.
From my experience, the entire place felt unsanitary. Drinks were stored in room-temperature plastic bins with exposed ice and no lids, which immediately raised concerns for me. After I got sick, I noticed their food safety rating posted in a spot that’s easy to miss—something I wish I had seen sooner.
I’ve now been sick for over 13 hours with chills, cold sweats, nonstop vomiting, and constant trips to the bathroom. On top of that, the food wasn’t even good—bland, poorly seasoned, and nothing like authentic Mexican food.
I’ve eaten at plenty of places with “okay” health ratings and never experienced anything like this. This was by far the dirtiest-feeling restaurant I’ve been to, and the illness afterward was severe.
If you’re considering eating here, don’t. There’s a Taco Bell across the street that’s cleaner and honestly tastes better—which is a shame to Mexican cuisine. Save yourself the disappointment and the sickness.
The place is clean and inviting. I was greeted immediately and sat down to check out the menu. They had a decent variety of things from your every day tacos and burritos all the way to elaborate seafood and meat platters. Serving staff was great and very friendly and happy to be there. Prices were great for the portions and the food was delicious. I tried 5 different things and all of them were great with the exception of the rice and beans. And they weren’t bad, rather just not as creative and flavor packed as the rest of the meal.
I spend $24 before taxes but It was also so filling that I took half of it home to enjoy again. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future to try more of the menu
