"Absolutely FANTASTIC!! food, service, staff and an amazing owner that knows how to run it all perfectly. From the moment you walk into this restaurant, they make you feel immediately at home, just like you're their family, very kid friendly, you'll be greeted with a warm & genuine greeting from their staff, whom can quickly seat you with little to no wait. Even on their busiest nights, the wait is short due to their efficiency. Once seated, they immediately fill your table with the essentials, including a tasty; not to hot, not to sweet, cooked red salsa with fire roasted chilies, an excellent cabbage dish *I like to add salt to mine, in house made corn chips; crunchy, never stale and always warm. There's never a waiter or waitress far away and they attend to your table as if you were royalty, their wait staff just blows me away with their speed & genuine family like friendliness, always keeping your drinks topped off and making sure you have what you need. The food is consistent time and time again, excellent quality in everything and all home made. Serving up some very unique and wonderful flavors in dishes such as, to name a few, Steak Picado; juicy tender steak grilled perfectly over flame, cooked in a mouth watering tomato sauce /w just enough heat from some jalapenos to give it that flavorful zip, to their special Enchiladas Rancheras; bathed in a mouthwatering, flavorful deep red sauce, not being even close to the average Americanized sauce you get elsewhere. I'll also add that these guys know how to cook their meat and they use excellent quality cuts. I have been frequenting this restaurant for years and know everyone by name as they do myself and my family. The owner, Rudy, comes around and visits tables as he's frequently there and it's very clear that he loves food and is passionate and proud of what he produces out of his kitchen. His son, daughter & wife also work in the business right alongside each other. I find it to be the best Mexican food in Central Oregon and can assure you that you won't be disappointed."
