Absolutely LOVE this restaurant!! I’ve been going here since I was a tiny little kid, mostly the Eureka Way location. I recently started going to Anderson and although all are great, this location is my absolute favorite. The staff always treats me so well and everyone is just so kind, patient, and attentive! The bar is really nice with awesome selections, the chips fried to perfection, and the portions will have you leaving feeling like a balloon, haha! No joke, everything on the menu is so good. Thank you guys for being such an amazing restaurant!!

We really enjoyed ourselves. Our waitress Adella was so friendly and fun. The Mexican pizza was huge and the fresh juice margarita was yummy! Husband got the seafood soup and said it was a bit bland. We will be coming back again.

Flew done to the Redding airport. Landed 11:30am got picked by my daughter and granddaughter and she drove to her ranch outside of Anderson. On the way thru Anderson she pointed this Mexican restaurant out and said this is the best period. Well that meant the challenge was on! We got in to the place around 12:45pm. The place from outside is not much to look at inside though, it was neat tidy, and we'll decorated. Chips came with beans and salsa that were very tasty. It was a very long wait...BUT WORTH IT. The Mole sauce was PERFECTION a perfect blend of cinnamon and cocoa! And the Pollo ala Crema Was outstanding. Thick not runny, and way to much food on the plate. Yep this place is the best.

We got seated without a wait. Food came quickly, but the nacho chips and cheese were burnt. The rice also tasted burnt and was really dry. The drinks were okay. The server never checked back with us. The restroom was clean and well stocked.

Warm welcome is a great way to enter a restaurant! The food was promptly delivered with the guacamole and salsa having that freshness where you know you’re in for a treat ! The Tequila menu is reasonable in that it caters to different price points. The main course was bountiful in quantity and taste ! Highly recommended

We ordered Single tostada, and they had a special on 2 enchiladas for 10.99. Both plates were really tasty! I really like how the chips were warm and the salsa & refried beans had good flavor.

Wow, outstanding Mexican food. Friendly staff and beautiful interior. I ordered a taco and enchilada, ground beef. They bring chips and salsa, with a bean dip, excellent salsa and bean dip. My order came out in ten minutes, it was delicious. ***warning, plate is very hot—-do not touch! Yes I did... ouch! Food is excellent and so was service. Will definitely come back here. They also have patio dining.

Great food and quantity, was asking for hot sauce on the side. Large combo seemed big but it will be less for 2 and too much for one.
