Reviews
The food here is authentic, Mexican and very delicious. The portions are very large and the prices are very low considering. Very attentive server and service. The ambience is really nice. They have Mexican music and very nice and remodel the inside. Clean restrooms and large bar.
Great restaurant. I didn't eat inside but it looked really. I ordered to go. The food was very good. Everyone in my party enjoyed their diners. I got Chili Colorado, which is my favorite Mexican dish. It was a little different than others I have had but still good. I prefer stew meat over steak strips and I wish they had added more rice, but I it was still good. I would get it again. We also tried their burrito's deluxe, chicken salad, enchilada verde, and shrimp fajitas. These were all very good. Staff were nice and the restaurant seemed cleaned when I walked in to pick up my order. The prices are great and the portion sizes are great. Some people have complained about the flavor not being the same as other places in the country. So what. No it's not the same flavor as you get in the southwest, but so what. We are in Buckhannon not the southwest. The flavor is very good and I think there are many false complaints people are making on yelp regarding flavor. I enjoyed their food and I think it's among the best in this area. Three things I would like to point out as a compliment: 1. They did not skimp on sauces. All their foods were plated with ample sauces to ensure consistency, flavor, and nothing was dry or over cooked. 2. They did not skimp on meat. There are several restaurants I have been two that give very small portions on meat. This place gives you a full meal. 3. The cuts of meat served were very good. I didn't experience any unwanted fat, gristle, or otherwise bad cuts. I hate when I get served a meal and only a small portion of it is edible, because the restaurant doesn't care about the quality of their meat. I was very happy that I could enjoy my full meal without throwing anything out.
Restaurant was very clean and comfortable. Had traditional, American Mexican decor. Servers were friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and larger portions. My husband and I share chicken fajitas. It was more than enough for the two of us.
Was very surprised at how good the food was. Service was outstanding. Only issue is that you don't pay the server. You have to take your check to the front and pay before leaving. Restaurant is very clean and inviting.
Great service and the food was fresh and tasty! Granddaughter loved the chicken and rice from the children's menu. I had the pollo asado. It was very good! Waitress was very attentive!
