This is by far the best Mexican Restaurant in the Metro area. Â Family owned, now in the hands of the second generation. Â The pork dishes are perfect. Â Ramons cena tropical, the Durango Plate, the Tamales, and the Pork a la carte plate are all wonderful. Â Portions are large. Â Refried Beans are worth a visit on their own. Â The Margaritas are perfect. Â The staff from family members to the almost family like Jose, are exceptional. Â After eating at this restaurant for over 20 years, I can say that it still maintains it's quality and destination status.
Review Source:There were not many vegetarian options on the menu, so my friend and I requested veggie fajitas. We were expecting a variety of veggies, but unfortunately got a sizzling plate of onions topped w/ steakfries. We also ordered the "flamin" cheese dip w/out meat. Again, we were very disappointed. The cheese was not edible, it was a glob of goo w/ a ring of grease. The only good thing about this place were the margaritas, they were ok.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!
We shoud have known something was up when we walked in and the place was EMPTY. Yeah, there were two other people eating, but it was a Monday night at 7:00 pm. The chips and salsa and guacamole dip was good, the margaritas were a little to sweet for our taste and the $2 Coronas was a good deal. However, then it was time for the food to arrive. EEEEEEEK! Â We live in Los Angeles and have our pick of excellent Mexican food restaurants but this is the first for us - french fries served on top of the chicken fajitas accompanied with only onions. No green or red peppers. Hmmmmm? I always thought beans and rice was the appropriate side dish, but fries? Then came the carnitas plate with onions. CHUNKS of fried pork. The chunks of pork were literally fried to the point of being small hard pieces of shoe leather. The onions were cut and thrown on as a garnishment, not cooked, not warm just plopped on the plate. Someone else at the table had the same thing and didn't finish an 1/8 of the dish as well. One suggestion, if you are thinking about eating here - DON'T! Â It is simple. DO NOT DO IT. Go to Taco Bell for a lot less money.
