Easily best restaurant in medical lake. Clean and stylish, with good value for food amount without skimping on taste.

Also the staff is always friendly, a welcoming atmosphere every time I go in each week.

I first went here on the recommendation of a friend. The vibe that I got from this place was an authentic family owned restaurant that was popular with the locals as it was busy.

The service is top notch, and they were able to accommodate my dairy allergy without issue. They always keep tabs on you during your meal making sure your glass is full and that everything is alright.

The food is fantastic, I've been here well over 20 times already and they are consistent. The beef, chicken and pork options are all fantastic, their chips come out hot and fresh, and all their deep fried options come out golden brown with a beautiful flake.

My personal favorite is the taquitos appetizer. They might give you a lot of food, but it's always worth picking up an app to share before the meal.

For the price this place is a deal, and I hope I see you come in as I will be a weekly regular here for as long as I am in town.

A right proper family Mexican place. Food was great, service good, and speed fantastic. Only nitpick, cook the nachos about 30 seconds longer as the cheese on the bottom wasn't done yet. That's a minor complaint as far as I'm concerned.

I was told by the people over at Pizza Factory, who appear to universally love this place from the owners on down, to try their chimichangas. Which I did, and they were fantastic. 10 outa 10, would dine again.

I have never had a Mexican meal so homemade and just to die for. They were so wonderful to my bff who had a dog and had brain cancer that I actually cried for how respectful they were.

Great servings and quality of food! Their picadillo isn’t my favorite, but good beans etc!

I had the Burrito Mex with chicken. First off, the Burrito would have been a good 10 If it were made with fresh chicken instead of canned. It was well balanced with fried rice, chicken, lettuce, cheddar cheese, guacamole, sour cream and red sauce. It was supposed to be topped with parmesan like it said but it wasn't which in all honesty would have made it that much better. It is locally owned which is always a plus and the service and waiter was very friendly, knowledgeable and considerate. The cook was quick and obviously well versed. I would recommend this delightful restaurant, it could be polished up a bit but most places could as well.

I’m sitting here eating my leftovers contemplating getting married to them! Even the next day this food is 🔥🔥 soooo good! I felt at home there also because the staff there treat you like family! Check it out if you’re ever there! Bring a big appetite as they are huge servings!

This place is really good. The service always stands out. Above average service and food. Amazing lunch menu. The dinners are pricey but the high quality goes along with the price tag.
