We absolutely loved this place,our services was the best! Our little petite waitress was so cute. She was expecting a baby in a few months though she barely looked pregnant and she was full of energy & smiles! She made our lunch extra special. My grandson adored her, he kept saying. Muy bonita!! Because I’ve been teaching him some Spanish words, he just turned three a couple of months ago, but he couldn’t help but look at our pretty waitress. It was adorable. He was so distracted by her every time she came near, or by the tables. Thank you for such a lovely experience, I’m sure we will be back next time we are in Douglas!

I happenstance on this out-of-the-way Mexican restaurant. I was a tourist, and this was not on my Google navigation. I made a few wrong turns and noticed the bright colors and appealing curb appeal. I pulled in and ordered the (I believe) Grand Breakfast. It came with eggs, ham, chilis, potatoes, refried beans, cheese, and 3 flour tortillas. I ate too much but couldn’t stop, The flavors made me do it.

First of all 0 for originality, I mean “El Chef”. Second of all management is abrasive and waitresses are inexperienced, management is totally oblivious to unprofessional untrained staff. Third, I witnessed a fender bender in the parking lot due to poor parking condition. They close earlier than posted hours and way to early. I would never recommend. I honestly don’t know how they have such good reviews! Food was mid.
