Reviews
This is a restaurant full of LOCALS! For good reason - great staff, huge menu, huge servings of authentic Mexican food, reasonable prices. Unpretentious and comfortable. Always a good choice. (Except Wednesday, they're closed on Wednesday.) Seriously - super yummy food and great service. Check it out.
A hidden gem with authentic decor, excellent food, and the fastest service I've experienced in a long time. I ordered the enchiladas suizas, which were just the way I like them, with grilled chicken and a lovely tomatillo/jalapeño sauce. Tjefrozen mango margarita hit the spot after a day on the road. Will be back!
We love this restaurant. It has a nice family run vibe. I love that it's out of the touristy area of Santa Fe. The menu is huge and the food is very authentic and delicious. The waitstaff is attentive but they don't hover. Oh and the margaritas are really good. *Try the chicharoni appetizer yum.
Only every dive take out here but everything is really well done and always fresh and hot when we pick it up. Looking around the dining room is clean and seems like they have some very fun cocktails on the menu.
ice cold brew and chicken enchilada. One of our favorite places fast and friendly service.
