The staff there Saturday at noon is top notch! Clean & fun atmosphere! I said I had an allergy & they made sure the food was safe for me & I even had leftovers! The waitress asked several times if we needed drink refills! The whole staff, cooks, manager, bartender, hostess, person clearing dishes & server all need raises, promotions & bonuses! Now, I'll never get a table!
Had the pablano pepper dish. Very fresh and exotic!! I would come here to try other dished. Our server was Oscar. He provided excellent service. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Wonderful family run business, nice ambiance, great selection, tasty food, attentive service, vegetarian options, including interesting breakfast options. A jewel for Folsom.
Stopped in for lunch today with a friend. We go here for lunch about once a month as it's always good. It was not crowded, and we were seated immediately, and our drinks and chips/salsa were brought out. It was cold and raining outside and the restaurant was nice and warm inside. I ordered a 1 item lunch combination consisting of a chimichanga, rice, beans and a salad. My friend ordered his usual of a soup and salad lunch combo. The food came out quickly. My chimichanga was actually a half chimichanga with a nice serving of rice and refried beans and salad. I had no leftovers as this is the PERFECT size lunch. Everything tasted very good. The only glitch was my friend's soup/salad combo was no longer on the menu, so he was charged ala carte, and it was a bit more than he'd expected. Our server was very attentive, and our drinks never got below 3/4 full.
One of our favourites! Pedro, Lily and Kayla are brilliant margarita makers, the food is always good and it's got a great ambiance
Such great food and EVEN BETTER SERVICE. Mario was an amazing waiter, he was not only attentive but also very cheerful. Would 100% come back.
The happy hour and pitcher of margaritas here always hits. The guacamole is plentiful and flavorful. The chips fresh, crispy and salty. The way chips were intended. The service here is always friendly. We once got takeout and it wasn't the best. Took a long time and was soggy when we got home. Definitely dine in!
We had a going away lunch for a friend with about 9 people. The staff was very friendly and answered the many questions some had about ingredients as we had a couple people with dietary restrictions. The chips were good and the salsa had a kick which I liked but it wasn't over powering. I had a pork tamale and asked for black beans instead of the refried beans. The portions are very generous. Many had a variety of the salads and everyone raved about them. My tamale was very tasty and little different than I'm used too but not in a bad way. The pork had a little more taste then some I've had. I asked about a spicy salsa and they brought me a habanero salsa on the side. It was delicious!! They also have a great bar area and wonderful patio for outdoor dining. The ambiance is also very well done. I would definitely recommend this
Actually, we went to the Folsom California area west of Sacramento again the see more grandchildren ! Grandchildren. Shucks what good are grandparents if They can't see their kids and spoil them and give them back to the parents. This place was very reasonable good food and the prices weren't too high for California. We being from Alabama. I'm not used to paying so much for food, but the service was good.
