This place is tucked in the corner of a strip mall. It was clean and the service couldn't have been any better. The food was delicious. I have to say it was the hottest temperature mexican food I have had in a long time. Not too spicy, but HOT. We had to let it cool down a bit to eat it. Even the rice and beans were steaming hot. Loved it. We will go back

We had an excellent lunch, the scallops en crema were perfectly cooked, the portion was generous. My friend enjoyed his salad. I appreciated that they served the tortilla chips with refried beans and cheese, salsa, and the shredded cabbage concoction whose name eludes me. You can ask for either corn or flour tortillas, mine were fresh and hot. Service was friendly and quick. The only negative were the prices, fair for my scallop dish, I would like to see the menu have lunch specials for those wanting to eat and spend less. The menu is extensive but there are few cheaper dishes.

Our server, Meghan, greeted us with a smile and provided quick, friendly and efficient service. I had chicken chimichanga which was very good and my daughter had beef street tacos that she said were delicious. Son in law had giant burrito which was equally good. Enough seasoning to make things flavorful and beans and rice that accompanied our meal were flavorful. Cadillac margaritas were very good too. We wil return.

I'm sitting here just really really stuffed because this giant burrito was so amazing I could not stop eating it. They make the large flour tortillas on the spot when you place your order and I think it makes a huge difference in freshness and flavor. I got a shredded chicken picadillo burrito and it was really REALLY good *~* If you try this place you won't be sorry. Too bad they don't have margaritas.Thanks to whoever owns this place Yum. Also the staff was very friendly. I'll be back.

My friend and I enjoy ordering off the cheaper lunch menu. I had a humongous super burrito which was fantastic. The only thing I would change is to add a grilled chicken salad to the lunch menu. The young waitress kept calling us "honey" & "sweetie" but we did not tell her it was irritating. I admit that we cringed each time we heard it .She meant no harm & she was sweet.

Ate here while staying at a local hotel, so we were able to walk to Damian's. Noted upon getting here that parking lot would have been tight had we driven and had they been busy. Inside was authentic looking Mexican decor with some cozy booths or table dining available. Service was fast and courteous.Both ordered house margaritas, mine blended and wife's on the rocks...very delicious.Menu is quite extensive so it took us a while to peruse it and decide. Served tasty chips with two types of mild salsa..one was a red sauce and the other a brown bean sauce. As it was our first vist we opted for one of the two Signature Combo #1 plates: Special Combination #1 ($13.00 each):Includes: one taco (chicken, beef, or pork), one chile relleno, one cheese enchilada, one bean tostada, rice and beans served with red sauce. Food arrived promptly and piping hot. Very tasty, huge portions, and not expensive.We will be returning and would recommend this place.We recommend

I had the Fajita Chicken Salad for lunch today, I very much enjoyed it. The portion size was large, with plenty of chicken and veggies, and they gave enough green sauce on the side, for a wonderful price. My only recommendation, is that they separate the salad from the chicken fajita mix. There was enough for two meals for sure, but because everything was in the same container, and the fajita mix was juicy enough, the lettuce would have turned soggy, and I would not have eaten it. I would definitely ask for it to be separated. Oh, and maybe a little less oily. Otherwise, fantastic, especially for the price!

Parking is adequate. Outside lighting is marginal. Reception was professional. The property is clean. Noise level is low to medium. Menu is varied with traditional items but so many other items that made it exciting. The portions are very favorable making this a value. Had the Pozole and a Chix Mango Salad. Truth I took the salad to hotel. The soup was very tasty. Had the salad much later and the dressing and the ingredients were tasty. Service was average. Overall good value.
