I really think three stars is too low but four is too high. Service was great. I found the menu somewhat limited and missing some of the great Mexican entrees and desserts. The food was decent but lacking in flair. I would like to see the kitchen staff up their game a notch.

Delicious! Friendly atmosphere, large portions, chip bar has a variety of different salsas to chose from, homemade tortillas and the grilled veggies are so yummy. Will be telling all my friends to try this place out.

I really enjoy this restaurant. The owner is very friendly and the staff is nice. I've been there a few times and the food is always delicious. I especially appreciate their salsa and salad bar. They also have a good selection of drinks. I am always happy and satisfied with my visits. I will definitely be returning. Thank you.

I love the options and tastes of this wonderful restaurant in downtown Olympia. They have many gluten-free and keto menu items..plus if you make your eating plan known to your server, I've found that they always have many helpful hints and suggestions. Plus servings are quite large, usually I can only eat about half and I bring the rest home for leftovers! Pretty much everything there is homemade, and tastes very authentic.

The food is great! Service a little slow but worth the wait. My recommendation is to go when time isn't an issue. Or let them know up front if you're in a hurry. They will do their best to accomodate.

The food was excellent! Had a dedicated vegan/vegetarian menu and even asked me if I was vegetarian or vegan when I ordered off that menu to see if they needed to make any additional changes. Will definitely be back again.

This place has the most authentic Mexican food in town. The flavors are over the top! Great menu and very good table service. Chances are that the owner will stop by your table to ensure all is well.The prices are moderate.Generous servings for every plate I saw. A good selection of draft beers and a full bar.This place is easy to find, access, and exit. It is fully handicapped accessable.If you found this review to be helpful please consider adding a thumbs-up.

The food was fabulous and the prices were reasonable. My group included a vegetarian who said the vegetarian/vegan menu was one of the most extensive in town. The serving sizes were immense, and the staff will bring to-go containers without being asked. There is both a salad bar and a chips and salsa bar that are complimentary. We were served by the owner, who was friendly, courteous, and patient with all our questions. I seldom leave reviews, but this place rocks -- try it!

Easily one of the best spots for Mexican in the area. The wet burrito with carnitas was insane. The fish tacos and enchiladas from others in my group were amazing as well. Friendly and attentive service rounded out the experience.

Really great service, very covid-19 aware, made me feel really comfortable and safe being there. Now the food. Absolutely terrific! Great Salsas, I had the tacos that are fried with the shredded meat on the inside, don't know what they're called, but they were fantastic. So happy equal Latin is here. I'll be going back very soon and very often.

Had a wonderful dinner with my large group of friends - they accommodated us without issue and also got our entire order correct! Delicious food with a spicy Latin twist. Self serve chips and salsa bar was fun and unique also! Happy hour menu and signature margarita- yummy! Definitely a great place and will come again!

Great food, very generous portions, large menu (Mexican and American), $5 margarita's until 7pm, help yourself to salsa and chips. What's not to like. I've eaten here 3 times in the last 6 weeks and had a great meal every time.

Great place to have lunch or dinner with friends and family. Owners are friendly and take the time to answer any questions you might have about the menu. Service is great and the staff just as friendly. Place is clean and has an open air look. Roomy. Food awesome and delicious, prices are really great. Get generous servings for the price you pay. So worth it. Plan on making this place one of my favorites. You should see the drinks!!! Awesome job, thanks.

Eat anywhere you like but, when your ready for a treat, this is the spot. Try the soups with great beer selections. Tequilas over the top and service that will make you wonder why this isnt your favorite spot. The owner, the best....go there.....tell them Thomas sent you....LOLOL.

I have eaten at the restaurant several times and since the Stay Home order have enjoyed getting their chicken and pork plates with tons of chips on the side. Highly recommend. I have also been told they do great margaritas that you can order to go as well.

Great service, great food! I highly recommend the tamales. The rice it came with was so fluffy and delicious! My boyfriend loved the deep fried burrito. The free salad bar is a neat idea but I wish the items were labeled. $5 for a happy hour margarita is a steal. We are very happy and full and we will definitely be back for more.

This place is not good. Do not go. My queso was stadium cheese and the taquito was soggy and the cheese inside not melted. Don’t waste your time. Also, the chips are clearly store bought and not good.

The food was very tasty and the staff friendly. We had a large group and our server was methodical in keeping orders straight. They have a salsa bar where you get your own basket of chips and the salsas that you want. The hottest has a nice burn without being over powering.

This is a hidden gem in downtown Olympia. The restaurant is set in an historic building and I love the old photos of the old Chevrolet dealership that hang on the walls. The food that I have tried is delicious, especially the avocado fries and the shrimp ceviche. I like the atmosphere inside. The bar area is good for watching the game. The staff is always nice, especially the owner who clearly makes a point to visit tables and make sure everything is great. Try the flan with white chocolate liqueur, it is delicious!

We went in for a late lunch on Sunday. Staff was attentive and gracious. I ordered the carnitas Pastor and the hubby ordered the Chipotle Camarones. They have many side options and our waitress offered to let us try two, instead of just one, (they just cut the portion sizes down) which was a lovely surprise. They food was fresh, quick and very good. Not to mention the self serve salsa bar. Definite bonus there!
