Me and my wife came here for lunch our waiter brought us chips and salsa as soon as we sat down. We ordered the coconut margarita which are so bomb. Our entrees came out fairly quick. I had the chicken Verde plate and my wife had chicken taqiutos everything was great best service I've had in a long time.
OUTSTANDING!!! The food was amazing. Their fresh salsa was absolute fire 🔥 (not literally). The chips were not only fresh but had an amazing taste. The entrees were exceptional and I go to a lot of Mexican restaurants. The Burrito Dorado was probably one of the best burritos I’ve had. Service was great, and prices were good. This is highly recommended.
Delicious food! Great service and authentic atmosphere!
Such a beautiful place, excellent art and decor but the food was excellent as well a the service. I read a review and it stated the waiters are attentive. Yes they are, classy and with finesse, they are rare beings. Any how I can only eat half of the plate of a one item but I did have the albondigas before, that filled me up. And was perfect. I was in the mood to eat in a nice Mexican restaurant with real silverware and plates. I have never been to the restaurant before so I thought I would try it. Since my husband passed I sit alone, I wish I can take a ginormous stuffed Hello Kitty to keep me company. Anyhow it was a pleasant evening.
We went as a big group from work. Our food was pre-ordered, so it came to us quickly. The food was pretty good. The service was also fairly good. I do understand the stress that goes with a big party. I do like the ambiance. It's quite pretty and big! I will go again with my family to see if it's a place we'll frequent!
The food was tasty, but I expected more from a brand that's been around 100 years. The drinks were great, as was the ambiance, so for us it offset the the awkward price to value ratio for the food. The service was friendly and quick. This spot is a twice a year spot for us. The cocktails and the visual Old World style setting are what bring us back.
I love this Mexican restaurant that's now 100 years old since it opened in 1923.
It has been a couple of year pre-pandemic since I had eaten at this restaurant and I decided to go again with some friends that had not gone before, I was telling all about the great food. We sat down to eat and the service was awesome, unfortunately the food was not. They had really lowered their standards on the quality of the food they serve. No wonder we didn't wait to be seated on a Saturday during peak times despite being a good size party. The place was empty, that the clue I should have picked up. We will not be coming back. None of the food was fresh.
