“ The food was great. It was right next door to our hotel Pacer Inn and Suites (they offered a 10% discount). I have to be gluten free and the staff was knowledgeable and helped me find suitable options. We enjoyed the atmosphere. And I enjoyed a bottle of Mexican coke. ”
“ The food is always good! Love the fresh guacamole and chips. The steak nachos never disappoint. ”
“ Great place to eat. Staff, food, and atmosphere all excellent and will brighten your day! A bit hidden off the main street in downtown Delaware, but worth the trip. ”
“ Went here on a Friday night with a few old friends. It was decently busy, but the service was nice and very attentive. Didn't have a wait time either although we did go before most dinner rushes would occur. I eat vegetarian so I personally like the vegetable fajitas and this time tried the avocadilla with a side of beans and rice to add on. The food is always very filling, generous in portion sizes, and tasty. I think I like fajitas better as they're more variety, but the avocadilla was still very good. One had a platter that was much too big for her to finish so if you aren't used to a lot of food then I would advise bringing a tupoerware box (I think the take out boxes there are Styrofoam if I recall correctly). As many Mexican places do, they leaned heavily into the theme so it was very colorful, inviting, and cozy compared to modern or industrial. ”
“ Very friendly and helpful staff. Some of the best Mexican food I have found in Ohio. And I am a MexicanAmerican from Arizona! ”
“ This Mexican joint is Bomb! We had two incredible dinners, my wife had a chili relleno and enchilada and I had the carne asada with grilled onions. The margarita was tasty and my Modelo was ice cold. Fresh hot chips not greasy at all and the house salsa was really fresh as well. Fast service and very nice server. This is definitely a nice Mexican eatery in Delaware. We will be back. I messed up though, should have taken a picture of our dinners because they looked super appetizing! Next time I'll make sure to post photos... ”
“ Food was really good! I got the chicken fajitas with guacamole side. I love their tortilla chips with salsa. The chips taste so fresh and come warm. I also ordered a frozen like margarita with salt on the rim. Came really fast to my table which was outside on the patio. I visited on a Sunday around 8 PM. The waitress told me i could sit outside, gave me a menu and just let me go out to seat myself. Only issue, she didnt tell me where to go out at so that was odd and confusing if you have never been there you wouldnt know you had to go through, what looked like the kitchen/staff only area, to get outside to sit yourself. They were really empty inside and most people were seated outside on the patio but, my waitress never would come out to check on me. I ordered my food at the same time I ordered my drink because i already knew what i wanted. I would hope in the future they would check their guests for drink refills and also i really needed napkins the whole meal and couldnt get even one. My table was dirty and i had smashed food all over the ground around my table which she never offered to wipe my table or anything. ”
