This is the second time I've been here. It has been good both times. The #14, the soft taco and mini burrito combination was a good meal, and the rice and beans that came with it were good. The rice lacked a bit of flavor. The horchata was very cinnamony. Yum. There was cilantro in the nacho dipping sauce. I asked for something without cilantro. The server brought me some excellent tomatillo sauce. The nachos and sauce are free with the meals. A very good meal. Thank you to Erin our server.Not speaking just of my own, but don't forget to "like" reviews and photos you like. This helps the reviewer.

food was over cooked into rubber. Steak looked like ground beef, shrimp was over cooked. Great friendly waitress though and pleasant atmosphere. Not the worst and certainly not the best.

This place came recommended. Food was okay, I had a combo, and my husband had steak fajitas. Unfortunately, the food was over shadowed by the service. It was shocking how slow moving and inattentive our server was. No drink refills, or anything unless we asked. We will not be back. It took 10 minutes just to stand in line to pay our bill. The people in front of us were going to order takeout and left because the wait was so long and. Mind you, it was literally them and us in line. The servers couldn't care less.

Wow where to start with how great this restaurant is. Ok the chips and salsa that comes to the table before you order. Fresh, home-made and irregularly shaped chips in the yummiest salsa. The menu is extensive. Take home some tamales for lunch the next day. So yummy! Great price! Great service!

I come to this superb place from time to time as I love the good air that is characterizes this place. The team is extremely helpful and experienced. The service is exceptionally efficient. Also, the food they cook is outstanding. I have been there often and I was always pleased. The rate is decent. I highly suggest this place to my friends and family.

The service overall was terrible, once we got to the place and we asked for tables that were close to eachother because we were a big group they were all rude about it. Once we got seated and the waitress took our order my mom had asked a question and the waitress was disrespectful and rude to her and she messed up our order. The food was decent but I would most definitely not go back to that restaurant.

Absolutely, Hands down the most authentic, freshly made Mexican Restaurant in Northwest Indiana!!! The Chef comes out to talk talk & check on you! The Chili Rhelleno is light, airy & the Pablano really shines in their dish. A hidden gem that you must try!

Didn't get what we ordered. We ordered wet burritos and received burritos lightly sprinkled with cheese. We asked about the ranchero sauce that was supposed to smother the burritos and the waitress said it was there. Must have been stealth sauce. Service was neither friendly nor attentive.

It was so nice to go and be able to have a sit down meal. They greeted us with a very warm welcome. The seating were spaced more then 6 feet apart, very clean, atmosphere was very peaceful and relaxing. We arrived at 430pm Tuesday. I ordered the Shrimp chmichanga dinner as did my sister. My mom ordered same but with beef. Very reasonable prices for the meals, outstanding quality fresh all ingredients and served very hot (not spicy hot) waitress was exceptional very pleasant smiles, attentive to our needs. I have eating there alot before this virus and did carry out with them . It was great to see they still have great service , the food quantity was more then enough we all had to go boxes. The shrimp is no tiny shrimp and fresh shrimp was used.

We here on Valentines day. Had great service and the food was awesome. They gave us fried ice cream which was delicious. The appearance of the place could use some updating, but their food and prices make up for their lack of elegance in the restaurant. Don't let the appearance stop you from eating here.
