★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Everything is amazing. Food is so good. We don’t go anywhere else for Mexican food. This is my favorite place. Strawberry & mango margarita are my favorite. We had the quesadilla and steak burrito tonight. Service is always perfect!
August 05 · Jennifer MWe went for a birthday dinner. Service took very very longggg. We were in there for a total of 2.5 hours and it was only 5 of us. They forgot one our meals. The cake took so long to come out we just decided to take it back and eat it at home. We ordered 3 margaritas and we complained to the bartender that it didn’t taste like any alcohol was put into it. The bartender assured us that there was definitely alcohol in there. Later on, we saw the same bartender smelling and tasting the bottle and realized it was watered down because he had another waitress smell it and try it. We had to pay full price for our 3 margaritas even though they were practically virgin. Maybe it was a bad night for the service but the owner or one of the bartenders are watering down the alcohol used there.
October 11 · Cassandra SalinasFun night out. Happy hour drink flare excellent. Friday night Karoke was a surprise too. The service was great. It was easy to separate the bill amongst friends. I left with a full tummy.
March 14 · dawn cThe food was beyond delicious. Truly authentic mexican food. We enjoyed our server and food came out shortly after we placed it (a little over 15 minutes). We ordered: chicken tenders (kids menu), mini quesadilla (kids menu), chicken fajitas which came with rice and beans and A La Fonda which came with steak, cactus, rice and beans. If you are having cactus for the first time be sure to sprinkle some salt. Enjoy!
September 04 · Janett CardosoFriendly staff in a very inviting atmosphere. Tasty food and a good size portion. 😋 very reasonably priced.Hubby had shrimp tacos... and I had their fried fish taco🌮... mine was off the chain... delicious... you get three tacos a side of cilantro sauce for the fish and hot sauce and green sauce for the shrimp ... I couldn't finish my fish tacos. While you wait for your meal, the serve up some homemade chips and homemade salsa dip... yuummm!!I must warn you, please dont be fooled by the outside ... the area has ways looked like that (run down), but the pizza shop and the other businesses there do very well...
