This is my second 5 star review . I’ve ordered their food a hundred times , no joke and I’ve only tried two things on their menu but they’re so good I can’t even try something new .. the second thing I only tried because the first I was obsessed with which is the Cubana torta they accidentally gave me another persons order or misheard mine which was their chicken enchiladas.. so I now get those and have literally a hundred times and it’s lanyard made to perfection with no lettuce .. last night it got busy and I knew it was hard to hear me so as much as she tried and I tried , I got the order with lettuce .. I called them and they were so apologetic.. they said no need to bring my order back and instead said give it to someone so I drove it to my mom who loves them and went to pick up the new ones they made .. they also had there waiting for me a another box with “sorry” on it and in it a big shell of fried ice cream and all the goods , my box of newly made enchiladas and a pomegranate drink .. they did all that extra stuff just for a small, one time mess up of lettuce . Now I’m hooked on the fried ice cream .. so good . The owner , the employees always go above and beyond .. they are the kindest people ever, truly . I could not believe how above and beyond they went to make it up to me for such a small and rare misunderstanding.. their food is so good , so good! They always have fresh, never frozen ingredients .. the quality of their food exceeds the generous prices .. I can’t believe I can get 4 enchiladas for 13 dollars and some change. The service truly exceeds any other place ever in my life I’ve gone to. Everything is 10’s across the board out of 5 stars . Best place to eat. Truly! Best food, best quality , best service!
The most delicious food, all homemade and fresh. And the margarita... oh my yummmm! Great service with a smile!
First time customers. We were recommended to try this restaurant by a friend and it did not disappoint. Husband got a Caldo de 7 Mares and he loved it. It was flavorful and had lots of good seafood. I got tacos (pastor and taco azteca) and the pastor was a bit salty, but not too bad. I also got a Tostada de Ceviche de Camarón and it was piled up on a tostada that had a creamy substance on the bottom and it was delicious. My daughter for a Torta de Asada and she said it was one of the best she had tried. My sister in law got a Gordita and she enjoyed it. We would return and recommend this place. Also, the licuado de chocolate con plátano is bomb! (Chocolate & banana)
Living Nostalgicly with the Torta de Jamon.
Got the ceviche tostada. They load one tostada with ceviche and give you 2 more on the side. This dish makes 3 good size tostadas! I really enjoyed lunch today! Super nice people and always good service! Love this place!
Late post 2/28/22: stayed 36 hours in the area and found this place via Yelp. love this place! Worth the price. Reminded me of Mexico. My go to Mexican restaurant in Wenatchee.
Super yummy tacos .. that's what I had .. the place offers other types of Mexican food too .. it's small and cosy and has outdoor seating options as well .. the host is warm and friendly ..
The best pina colada I’ve ever had! It was so large we could not finish it. Tacos, fries, pico de gallo was delicious. Interior feels very homey and the service was great. Would definetly visit again next time we drive through the area.
