Reviews
Haven't posted in a while and I thought this place deserved one. Born and raised in SoCal, it is hard finding authentic. For what it is and where we are geographically, this place is good. Deducted a star due to the $4 chips n salsa. Although fairly priced, it wasn't good and should be free as always! Service was good. Main entree was salty and I wasn't surprised after seeing other reviews. I would probably come back.
We used to love this place but not so much anymore. Prices have skyrocketed. Place is still super noisy with everyone trying to talk over everyone else. And they no longer give complementary chips and salsa! That is unheard of for a Mexican restaurant!!! Service was great. Very friendly, attentive and courteous. Food still tasty. It was just so disappointing that they stopped serving complimentary chips and salsa.
It's been awhile since I have eaten here. My boyfriend wanted to spoil me today. We were the only ones in the restaurant around 10:30 or 11 am. We were hungry. I couldn't finish my dish but I ended up having the lobster enchiladas which came with rice and beans. I also ordered a lychee margarita which was a little bit sour. Tasted like a hard lemonade. We also decided to get chips and salsa. The green sauce was the best and tasted delicious. My boyfriend got the shrimp dish and he let me try his shrimp. Really good. My lobster enchiladas was good but a little salty when I got to eat the lobster. I literally couldn't finish them. Service was excellent by our waitress. She was nice and catered to us. I would definitely come back here again.
Decided to try here as it look good. A small restaurant, but they fit many seats. Lots of mexican decorations with Hawaii flare to them. I was a little disappointed that they charge for chips and salsa, so I skipped on that. Price for food was average for mexican food. I got the enchilada plate with shredded beef. It was super flavorful and delicious! The beans and rice were also seasoned well. The entire plate was filled which made it worth the price. 5/5! The server was attentive and kept my water full. The only thing that made me give this a 4/5 is that after I got home, I felt super tired and got a headache. I skipped dinner that night and the headache stayed until the next day. I think it may be because they might use package sazon and i'm sensitive to MSG and this was all I ate. Probably won't return due to this, but it's definitely a good place to check out if you're craving flavorful mexican food! Parking: Tight and may have to circle around in the lot to get a stall.
You must try the chips and salsa with a side of guac. Also, I recommend getting a Margarita which is the size of the average human head! Very friendly staff. I forgot to take a picture of my plate (2 enchiladas plate) because I was starving and wasted no time devouring it. Myself and the other two girls I was with also enjoyed everything they got.
