Had dinner there for the first time, the food didn't take too long. Really wonderful staff, indoor and outdoor seating available. They charge a 35 cent surcharge for card usage. My boyfriend and I had the carne asada fries and the chicken breast wrap with Chipotle (spicier than the average fast food chipotle!!!). We also ordered a sangria señorial, a sprite and an orange Fanta. Total (with card fee) was about $23. Also ordered a super chicken burrito with rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, sour cream and cilantro. They have Wifi here as well.

We love this place for authentic Mexican food , but the atmosphere is like no other place I know. We sit outside in an area ringed by mountains . Underneath rhe tables and chairs is fairly good quality carpeting , which is why we call it the "Carpet Cafe ".
Good food , honest people and good service.

I love the setting of the quaint little building with a tree shaded patio. I just wish the food was better. It's OK ... but never as good as I would like.

This place is the real deal. Authentic Mexican, with the salsas to prove it. Just a little hidden off the Borrego downtown strip. Well worth the search.

Really great food, and great service by friendly staff. We were delighted at how quickly we received our food. Good atmosphere. Last night we dined under the lights with 2 fire pits going, and a great guitar player/ singer. We will be repeat customers.

A Mexican restaurant with really great food! I ordered a plate with vegetable toppings (no meat) & tortillas on the side. The tortillas were really fresh and delicious! We sat outside and carpet blanketed the ground. It is also pet friendly so people can bring their dogs.

I really like this little place. Has a real Mexico atmosphere. I like most things on the menu. The shrimp here are amazing. I was reluctant to try fish out here in the middle of the desert. Finally broke down and tried a shrimp wrap, oh so good. Them we tried the shrimp cocktail, OMG it is so good. It is huge with A LOT of big shrimp that are kind of snappy crunchy because they are so fresh. They come in a cold tomato base with fresh celery and cucumbers. What a treat.
