The beans and cheese are really good though. The food was only bad because of the amount of salt. We would only go back for the beans and cheese.

We waited about five minutes for the waitress to come take our order, and during that time, we weren’t even offered nachos and salsa to tide us over. We started to time the wait and were considering leaving, especially since other customers who arrived before us were already receiving their meals. Finally, the waitress appeared and took our order. Shortly after, she brought us nachos, salsa, and queso with bean dip. I asked for queso with pico de gallo instead, as I wasn’t a fan of the queso and bean dip combination. The salsa was extremely spicy—almost too hot to handle. Even after adding five packets of sugar to cut the heat, it was still quite intense. The pico de gallo ended up thinning out the queso, making it more liquid than I preferred, but it did taste good. The iced tea was acceptable but lacked strong flavor. As we waited for our meals, our drinks were running low. After about seven more minutes, our meals finally arrived. I ordered the Pollo Loco, and the cheese on the chicken was delicious, though a bit on the thin side. It didn’t come with lettuce and sour cream, which was a bit disappointing compared to other Mexican restaurants that typically include them. The rice was decent, having some flavor, but the refried beans were quite bland. My husband ordered the Enchilada Suiza, which he found to be okay; he particularly enjoys his green sauce, and he had unsweetened tea. Overall, the food was satisfactory and not as salty as some reviews had suggested. However, we were charged extra for the additional queso and pico de gallo, so next time we’ll be sure to ask for the pico de gallo upfront in hopes of avoiding the extra charge. **Service:** Dine-in **Meal type:** Lunch **Price per person:** $10–20 **Food:** 4 **Service:** 3 **Atmosphere:** 3

They have a terrific menu and everything we have tried so far tastes super fresh and delicious. Our first visit, I had the alambre the steak was perfect, the corn tortillas taste like fresh homemade, the beans and rice were perfect, and there was so much food I had to take half of it home. My husband had the torta, and he said it was really good and he's picky about his tortas. We had our kids join us the next time with a take out order and their burritos looked amazing. The food is really delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. Expect a wait time, as they seem really busy and popular and this is real food not fast food so order a horchata or michelada and enjoy the company of friends the food is worth waiting for. I'm looking forward to going again very soon! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
