      I had a large pick up order and called in ahead of time; they were quick and made everything correctly. Usually restaurants don't get every little detail, but these guys did! Every. Single. Detail.
      I believe the person who helped me over the phone and in person was Carl. Carl was awesome! He made sure everything was there, and even helped me bring my order to my car. He did all this with a smile.
      Everything was packaged nice, and it made me less anxious about getting the food back to the office. I really appreciate places like this. The food was also delicious!! Thank you!

      Such a cozy spot. The service was Amazing! My fish tacos did need some sort of sauce though.

      I had the Friday special, fish tacos with elote corn. It was good but the tacos could have used some sort of a sauce.

      The food and service here are second to none. This is my go to Mexican restaurant. Yes! Service dogs are allowed in the enclosed patio! The food has so much flavor, the chips are great and the salsa is to die for. I know what I'm talking about, I have two years experience being a New Mexican! Please! Stop by and try this place! You'll either love me or hate me!

      I'm honest, I'm not a fan. There are way too many places in EP to get Mexican food and this one is okay but not my favorite.

      There isn't anything I can rave about here.

      We had a very long wait on a Saturday afternoon. I was hoping that meant it would be amazing. Sadly, when we did get seated they brought some very mediocre chips and salsa to our table. We ordered and it took a long time to get our food. I know that many restaurants are struggling to find help these days so am pretty forgiving for that. The food was okay- it filled us up and that is what we needed. I would not go out of my way to visit again but if it's on my path, I know I can get a decent meal.

      Fortunately the first place we went to was closed because then we made a quick switch to here for the patio and it was lovely. The food was delicious and the service was great. Highly recommend the stuffed cinnamon sugar sopaipilla. Also the green sauce is delicious.

      Food was very good, delivered hot and fast! Porch was a little noisy from rush hour road noise, but we had our pick of where to sit, got great service from our server and an early dinner, late lunch and got to enjoy the sunshine and a nice sunset.

      Green chili chicken enchiladas are my favorite. Service is always on point. If you are coming for lunch plan to get there early as it's always packed.

      Hint #1: It gets PACKED at lunch. If you can go as soon as they open you can get a table right away

      Hint #2: Always check the special board inside the front entrance. You will rarely be disappointed.

      Hint #3: Bring friends who've never eaten here before...they will love it too!

      Ok..enchilada lovers:
      I really like their green enchiladas (add chicken if you want!).
      Not a fan of their red at all and the cheese ones are often a bit tough and rubbery. Hence 4 stars and not 5.

      Tacos stuffed with delish and fresh taco stuff!

      Chips and salsa are home made and great! The red chips are my fav...ask if you can get a few extra of those in your little bowl.

      Grab a beer and have some of the best Mexican food in New Mexico and
      the friendliest service.

      Their beans are fantastic. It's the only place I have found in LC that puts some jalapenos in them. Their dishes are a reasonable amount of food. It's not overwhelming with filler like huge helpings of rice. Sorry, but sometimes it seems a waste to plop that much rice on a plate just to fill the space.

      Note their "patio" is not outside. It's a little sunroom off the main dining area. I'd rather sit inside actually as the decor is colorful and kinda cute.
