    I wish I had gotten our waiter's name because he was spectacular! We were the large group with MANY children there tonight and he was on point. He got everyone's order correct, kept our drinks filled and all around attentive. He overheard us toasting our teammates and brought the kids a free dessert! When the coin machine ate my 5 year old's quarter, he turned around and gave her another quarter to try again. He was great!

    As for our food, I ordered the small burrito. It was perfectly sized and priced just right. My refried beans were a tad too salty but I think I have that complaint at every Mexican restaurant we eat at. My husband had the carne asada and devoured the steak. My son's taquitos were perfect. He had no complaints. My other children had nachos (huge portion!) and the babies split a small taco with beans and rice. All in all good food, excellent service!

    Hubby and I were driving through and felt like Mexican so we decided to give this place a go. Glad we did... really, really good! The only down fall for me was that they didn't have homemade flour tortillas. Chips and salsa were okay until we asked for some hotter salsa, then thats when shit got real! If you like some spice then ask your waiter for some of their hot salsa. So good! Which speaking of servers they were VERY friendly and professional. Service was fast, glasses were always full. They would keep the chips coming if we wanted but we didn't want to fill up on chips so opted out for more. So Hubs had the chili Colorado, flavor was on point. Comes with beans and rice and flour tortillas. Their rice is just how I like it. Not to wet but not to dry, just perfect! And for the flour tortillas being store bought they were pretty authentic not just your mission brand or anything. So that's good to know. I had the their flautas (shredded beef) they were soooo good! Comes with rice and beans as well. Huge portions! Three good size flautas that has a bed of shredded lettuce on top with shredded cheese, tomatoes and olives. So if you don't like olives then make sure you ask to hold the olives. But they were perfectly crispy and not super greasy and THEN I took that first bite and they put cheese with their meat! So there was perfectly melted cheese in the middle with your meat. Mind blown!! Sooo good! We had a wonderful experience here and would def recommend and go back!

    Great Mexican spot in Yakima! So many to choose from and this one did not disappoint. Created swiftly and our waiter was SO NICE. I just wanted to hire him myself! He not only took our orders correctly but also served them correctly. Polite, curious, attentive, efficient, friendly and the food was delicious.

    The food is pretty bland and terrible. Like a gut bomb to be honest. I'm not a picky eater by any means, but this was rough.

    Side note, the waiter was an awesome guy who did a great job. Too bad the food is pretty horrible.
