Excellent food, excellent service, what's not to like?
My wife and I had the chimichunga's for lunch, which came with rice and beans. The lunch was delicious, but what makes this place stand out is the fact that they brought chips and not one, not two, but THREE different dips. A mild salsa, a hot salsa, and a bean dip... All three were delicious.
The staff was very polite, and quick to bring out the chips and salsa, as well as take our orders and bring out our food. This place was recommended by another local to the area, and that recommendation was an absolutely great recommendation. If I'm in Lake Havasu in the future (which I'm sure I will be), I will definitely be stopping at this place for lunch or dinner.
Oh, forgot to mention. For desert we had the sopapias... nice, warm, fluffy pastries, coated with cinamon and sugar... Yummmmm
The only thing good about this place was the bill. The food was very bland and greasy. My husband put a ton of their hot sauce on his Chimi to give it some flavor and then was up much of the night with heartburn. I don't recommend for the food, but if you want a cheap meal and aren't concerned with flavor, this is the place to go.
Review Source:To say that the salsa and chips that they bring is the best thing there is not stretching the truth. Its better to go to the Supermarket called ... em.. Â (shamash? bashamas?) and get their tacos or burritos. More authenthic.
The food was soo bland! They make El Torito look like home made Mexican food.
Sooo bland. You could not taste the difference in food.
Oh yeah the beans were good too.
Enchiladas, Albondigas soup, taquitos, etc all were bland! so dissapointed. The food looked like they bought it all frozen and just heated it up!
Will never come again.
When we were eating we could see it was crowded enough and I am guessing it was locals or families and thought to myself "do they think this is good? are they locals and dont know better?"
Sad Face.
Two red salsas and bean dip that arrive first with chips were all outstanding. I ordered the chicken enchilada and pork burrito combo $10.00. Â The dish arrived with very good mexican rice and refried beans with melted cheese on top. Â A special sour cream came with the meal also. I think it had scallions and parsley or cilantro mixed in. Â Not sure what else but it tasted good. The fillings were moist and tender with a lot of flavor. I got seconds on the salsas and ate them with the meal. They bring you a fried flour tortilla chip sprinked with cinnamon and sugar and a dollop of whipped cream. Â Nice touch at the end of the meal. I would recommend this place if you are in Lake Havasu.
Review Source:Salsa, bean dip and chips were great! Everything else was terrible. Â It looks like there is no management. Â Service was slow, forgetful and inattentive. Â Food was thrown together and bland. Â We ordered a #12 - Shrimp Buretto, but the waiter brought a fish taco plate. He assured us the #12 was fish taco. Â Our bill showed # 13 - Fish Taco.The deep fried ice cream was not deep fried so the corn flake coating was a soggy mess.
Review Source:I am completely in love with the "chicken mole". Â It's chocolate and peanut butter over chicken. Â Well, it's not that simple, of course - but it's amazing!
I've tried a couple of other things, and it's not so great. Â
So if you're going there for the Mole, you won't be disappointed! Â If you're going there for anything else, don't say I didn't warn you!
Best Mexican food I've had in a while. Â The portions are huge and the ones that R and I had were enough for 2 to share. Â This is definitely a place to go hungry and leave happy. Â Prices are really reasonable. Â Inside the restaurant is rather dark, but can be romantic if you think about it. Service was okay, not anything out of the ordinary. Â Would definitely come back.
