“ This is, by far, one of the greatest Mexican restaurants I’ve visited in years. Great service, and the food was truly amazing. With big portions! And the lime margaritas...to die for. ”
“ I could have been starving from a four hour drive(I wasn’t starving), I have not had Mexican food that delicious since I lived in San Ysidro on the border nearly thirty years ago. Delicious in every bite, flavors I missed, but they have them and I’m so happy Cle Elum had this. The drinks were very good too. ”
“ The food was amazing. We were served chips and salsa before we could get our coats off! Food came out gairly quick as well. You can tell this is family owned and I love it. Staff are very polite. It took me forever to decide. My partner got the carne asada street taco platter and was very pleased. I got the chalupa and enchilada. Both were good, but my chalupa would have been better with carne asada and you could only choose between beef, chicken or cheese. Their salsa and queso are both soo good. We definitely recommend it!! ”
“ Delicious local Mexican joint. Ordered the raspberry margarita and arroz con pollo. raspberry margarita was absolutely dangerously yummy, and the arroz con pollo was also very good. staff was very friendly, and the establishment was clean. ”
“ We love coming and enjoying the food and all who work there. Always have great food and service with a smile. We're never rushed and enjoy the atmosphere. Highly recommend for a memorable time with them. ”
“ Place has great food service and atmosphere. We had Carne asada, and the kids ordered chicken chimichangas. Their Horchatas were very good and gave the Lil ones quite the sugar highs. lol, I'm probably going to limit them to just one next time. The Mexican pizza we ordered was one of the best I've had. Definitely recommend. ”
“ This absolutely must start with a shout out to their salsa. Hands down some of the best I’ve ever had. Flavor. Spice. Consistency. It was amazing. Ordered a Tamale plate. Excellent. My boy had a taco salad looking thing. He said it was excellent as well. Service was immediate, anticipatory of my next request, friendly, courteous, and I was left wanting for nothing. Will make this a regular stop on I-90 as I load or return from Seattle Greater. ”
“ Stopped by here after hiking and it was a great decision. Our service was great, our food was great and they had the food ready super quick. The other side of the restaurant is a bar as well. ”
