Mom and pop Mexican restaurant, not a lot of seating so go early.. I had the soup,it is the second most popular menu item after the combo meal. The soup was incredible, try it you will love it! It is full of chicken, vegetables and includes 2 tortillas..Let know if this helps. Kids seemed to love the quesadillas, we loved the price.

This Newport staple has a cool vibe, especially when the weather is nice and all the windows are open. As far as the food is concerned I give it a 7 out of 10 for Mexican food. Not the best there is but well above average.

One food adventurer and one less so wandered into this place just off of Newport Blvd on 18th street. They had something for both of us at breakfast, I had the "Fried Egg" and expected the items to come deconstructed on the plate...nope they were stacked but it was good. My friend had regular food and the potatoes looked sort of bland being so lightly cooked. I would go again and try some other items on the menu. Keep up the good cooking and pleasant service. Think about adding some sound proofing on the ceiling please.

The service is amazing, my second time here, I ordered the Lamb again because I couldn't resist and it was exactly the same as I remembered it. The only downside I can think of is that the waiting staff were crowding our table and took my plate early. They seemed like they were in a rush so I agreed to have the plate removed so I could speak to my girlfriend in peace. Other than that everything was amazing.

This place is on the pricey side. The food was great. What I had felt more American than Mexican but was good. I had a steak but felt there could have been some Mexican seasoning on it. It was very tender and tasty though

A large group of us went here for dinner and we were not disappointed! From the Parmesan truffle fries to the salmon sandwich, everything was fresh and tasty. I would eat here again and again. My only complaint was that the restaurant was hot until they turned on the AC. But once they did, everything was great.

We had a great casual dinner here, and although the wait to be seated in the restaurant was over an hour, we seated ourselves right away in the large bar area (with teenagers) The sevice was prompt, we started with guac (that could have used more seasoning and delicious roasted corn (the best dish of the night!) Thee fish tacos were very good and the portions were large. The music in the bar was good but quite loud, not allowing for conversation.
