Food is tasty and some of the dishes are priced pretty well. Typical menu items for a Mexican place but also a lot of variety so most people will find something they like. Highly recommend the enchiladas de camarón. The green sauce is great and they are generous with the protein.

Ordered the enchiladas verdes. Had high hopes for it due to the rest of the reviews for this establishment. Sadly, I was let down. Rice was flavorless, could have at least added some salt. The flavor on the beans were good, but the enchiladas were made with pollo tinga. Not a fan. The tinga flavor overpowered the salsa verde. The horchata was good though. Overall, spot was not bad….but also not great.

After reading countless reviews I felt it’s time to give my review. I’ve been coming here since 2012 so quite a long time for me. The food is delicious, I love the salsa and put it on everything when I get a meal here. The service is always great and I’ve never had a bad experience. I’m not sure what other people are referring to when they speak negative of the service. I’ve always had great service year after year. If you like Mexican cuisine this is certainly the place for you.

Let me just say!! This is definitely one of the best Mexican food that I had in awhile. This is located in Maplewood Village and it’s way better than the other place. It takes awhile for the food to come since it is extremely fresh, which I love. Just thinking about makes me want another enchiladas, which by the way the Green sauce was so damn good and the tortilla was so good the crabmeat was so tasty. I am definitely going back with my friend. We just love this place. My friend had the 3 steak soft taco, she said they taste like heaven. Lol

Salena, daughter and staff are great. Food delicious, place clean and colorful and parking lot right down the street. Their version of deep fried ice cream is a nice way to end your meal. Definitely sharable…

They served me a chicken in green sauce the dish #33 the chicken seemed a little broken and I told the boy and he only said that the chicken was like that and he didn’t offer to change it or anything that day I was left without eating and paid 18 dollars for a dish that I didn’t eat I returned it to the restaurant to be thrown away

Very nice staff, it’s right off the main street of the town. BYOB. Food was alright, the enchiladas were good and large portions. The guacamole was particularly salty. It’s convenient if you’re in town. Picante remains our favorite in the area. We’ll return at some point and revise based on the next visit.
