>>> ~The food that I ordered was good.My family all enjoyed their food as well. I personally didn’t really enjoy the atmosphere for some reason.I will say that the cup and forks were a little dirty but I just cleaned it off so it was fine. When they gave us the check they automatically put in the tips with the food payment without asking the amount or if we wanted to tip at all. We did want to tip but I found that a bit odd since some people might not tip. Overall I won’t be dining in again because I didn’t really like the place itself but the food is relatively cheap and good so I would recommend for people to try it out and see. <3

Good food. Nice sized portions. Place was a little less busy than I remember from previous visits, and the waitress was a little off her game(taking a long time to come back to table, had to ask other waitress for take out boxes, for our leftovers, then my waitress came back so had to ask again). But beside the little waitress mishap the food was on point and the place is quiet and family oriented. Definitely recommend and not going to let that deter me from going back or say anyone else should either.

5 stars for the decor. Each chair, table , and booth has a fantastic scenery of Mexican culture. As per the the chicken bowl to go. 1⭐ no flavor to the chicken salad. Also I did not receive a bowl but a flat round Bread in a to go container. Natural foliage is highly suggested.

I’ve been there about 5x’s through out my 10 years living here in Claymont. My family and I went tonight for the first time in about 3 years. Well the service was awful. My husband had to ask a server to bring us some water and take our order for drinks. I lost my son about 3 yrs ago and with COVID this has been my fist time wanting to get back out. The funny thing I initiated my family into going out and having dinner out. Well I ask for a Margarita with a salted rim… Did not get that after waiting forever for a drink.. Our waiter didn’t even ask if we wanted an appetizer.., he just went straight to the dinner.. then my food came it was cold … my daughter food was cold and so was my husband….. I just wanted to cry..But I acted like nothing was wrong I literally took 2 bites.. God blessed my husband and daughter they tried…. the waiter came over and saw nobody ate the food and said 1,2,3 4 containers to go.. My bill was $79… For the VERY first time I didn’t leave a tip…. My daughter and husband and grand daughter said thank you nana she is 3 I felt awful… I wish I never went out

This place is the coolest! Such an authentic experience from the staff, to the decor, to the drinks, to the food. And the bill was totally reasonable. Can't believe we didn't know it existed until last night! Great place to take the family. Don't forget to bring cash to tip the amazing traditional Mexican singer guy!

Ordered food, called and cancelled order. Was still charged for the food i never received. Called for refund and spoke with Alondra who told me she didnt know what to do with that and i would need to speak to the owner who just left the country and wont return for 2 months! Are you kidding me? Oh...and she swiftly disconnected the call after that. I absolutely love they food but you dont have to worry about me EVER going to this location!
