We dined in the indoor area and it still had a great atmosphere. It was about a 20 minute wait for Saturday lunch. The chips and salsa are great. Very corn forward warm chips, I’d say medium thickness, still very crispy. My favorite was the Chimichanga appetizer. The creamy, cheesy, savory flavor to come out of those little things is absurdly good. Especially with the sour cream and pico to top it off. The chicken flautas were very crispy and delicious. I loved how much guacamole they put on the plates on the side. Most places skimp but here they LOAD the guac on for no extra charge. The Mexican rice was the best I’ve had in a long time, very seasoned and oniony. All items were hot and freshly prepared.

You are welcomed to a very large courtyard with outside seating. Being october the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. They had mariachi performers playing music. That was a nice touch. To the food. You only had two choices. Well three. Chicken or beef fajitas and an enchilada plate. I got the beef fijatas. They provide a generous side of guacamole, sourcream,pico and cheese. A heavy prlortion of steak, beans and rice. The steak was alittle salty for my taste alone but fixed up in a taco it was delicious. I hear they have a line to get in but we got lucky on a Wednesday at 6:30. Just walked in. But it was packed once inside.

The food that we ordered was the beef fajitas and cheese enchilada. We also ordered a margarita. The beef fajitas were the best I’ve ever had. The refried beans are so creamy and the rice was fresh. The cheese enchilada were alright, but the red sauce reminded me of chef boyard. The nachos were amazing, and the chips and salsa were so fresh. The guacamole was the best I’ve ever had. I would come back in a heartbeat.

This place is phenomenal! This restaurant has been open for 90 years. The food, service and atmosphere was awesome. It looks like a little restaurant from the front but you walk-through and find yourself in a beautiful botanical garden in the back. I was here for a late breakfast, but can only imagine the atmosphere on an evening. I highly recommend checking this place out. You will not be disappointed.
