“ Great little local spot for drinks and a bite with amazing history. Friendly staff, great little bar, excellent pollo asado plate (get the red sauce!), chile relleno and enchiladas suiza. Perfect for a casual meal with family or friends. ”
“ RELLENO, Chile Relleno that is! Been testing out Chile Relleno's for years all over the country and seriously, this might be the best one yet. This dish is so incredible labor intensive, many restaurants make a dozen each day then tell yo they are sold out when you go to order. It is like a loss leader to get you to come in. It was 7:30 pm when I ordered this and it was no problem. This dish had the perfect taste and texture and great flavors. You can also judge a Mexican restaurant by their tortilla chips and sales and these were excellent, all hand-made in house. The chips were a little thicker and the salsa chunky with fresh tomatoes and onions. We also had the flautas and the El Ranchero Special Cheese Crisp - a House Specialty. Everything was fresh and delicious. Make sure to have a Margarita as well. BTW, we walked in without a reservation at 8pm on a Saturday night - pretty awesome. Cannot wait to return. ”
