I ordered the Potato Enchiladas from the vegetarian section of the menu and it was amazing! The enchiladas are just a little small for my liking but only by a little so it's not that big of a deal. The prices are fairly priced from like $9 to $15 for a dish. I wish the vegetarian section had like 5 or 7 more options for dishes but it was an alright amount of options. I give my rating a 4.5 and would definitely come back!!!
Dinned here on a Friday evening. We were seated right away even through it was fully crowded. Lot of colllege kids and parents. They have good promotions on drinks everyday for something. We ordered a Jalapeño Margarita which was good. They offer free chips and Salsa to every table. Both of the entries we ordered: Quesadillas and the Veg Fahita were good. Service was okay. Overall good place if you want to enjoy a good vibe and Mexican good.
I had just moved my kid in when I realized that I was on the brink of starvation. So I randomly selected this place to fulfill my need for sustenance. Well, my random selection turned into my new go to when I’m back in town. Not only did this place save my life but they did it in an extremely flavorful way. Service was quick and very attentive. Salsa was very tasty and everything was fresh. I highly recommend to anyone, whether starvation has set in or not.
I got the fish tacos which weren’t bad but way too salty for my liking. The mexican rice was a little bland but good. We split the bills 4 ways and our waitress accidentally was charging the various drinks to the wrong food orders, which was annoying but nothing we couldn’t fix ourselves after checks were paid with some venmo-ing. Wouldn’t go out of my way to eat there again.
I ordered the tropical fajitas last night to be delivered. It was not at all as described in the menu. Included only hard undercooked pieces of Pineapple core, onions, Zucchini, yellow squash, 2 overcooked mini scallops, no mushrooms, tomato, or chicken at all. It was also extremely liquid-y. Some shrimp but everything had a burnt taste with no spices or flavor at all. The entire meal tasted terrible, I could only stomach 1 bite before it made me immediately sick. This really sucks because the night before I ordered from cocobongo too, and the birria tacos were AMAZING.
