Took a friend for a meal and Whoa! menu prices are out of line for Mexican food. Sorry to say that their recipes have changed and it just not as good. Bummer too, because I use to really like their food but I will be going else where from here out. If you don't care how good the food is .....

This place is actually pretty cute, they have a little outside eating area with flowers on the tables. The chips and salsa were fresh and very good. We ordered chicken fajitas and they were fantastic! (As was the guacamole that came with it!) The service was excellent and very quick, which was good because we were just stopping through on our way back home from a road trip. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely stop here again!

Our family had dinner on a one night stay. While Chipotle has gone away from the corn tortillas, there are still plenty of options on the menu. Standard Chipotle efficiency when moving people through the line. Good value for fast food.

In walking distance from our hotel, the Mazatlan had rather good reviews. But, oh boy, the house margarita was the worst I ever had. It tasted like a very sweet lemonade and even an additional shot of Tequila and lime juice that we ordered and paid for did not help much. I expected better from a Mexican restaurant.

Meal was decent. I ordered the Chicken Carnitas and they were about as good as most places. Nothing really stood out. The flavor was good, the veggies were crisp, and the tortilla's were decent enough. Definitely not worth going out of your way for but if you work/live in the area then the food is about right.

Bienvenidos to our Gordo familia! This small family business started for one main reason; which, in fact, was to keep the memory of our Mamá Lupe alive. The best way to do it was to the cook authentic Jalisco recipes that she loved to make for her 16 daug

Several people as well as my children have raved about this place, so I gave it a try. I must say the taco's were excellent, and all the other food I saw going out look amazing. Very authentic meals and friendly service. Defiantly going back for more.

With a location close to the interstate and the good reviews, we decided to stop here to grab a quick dinner on our way south. Mediocre were our chile rellenos. It's not a particularly spicy dish, but these were bland compared to what we've had elsewhere. More like Mexican food for Northern Europeans.

I had the fish tacos and found them to be very delicious. The prices are reasonable and the portions were huge. I always cleaned my plate, but had to take some food with me when I ate at La Cabana. I probably should not have eaten so much of the salsa and chips!Great service too!

Been going here since they first opened, and now they have several locations. We have visited most of them and the food has been consistently good. Several choices of fillings for your taco or big burritos, that you have them put together in front of you. They also serve cold beer as well as soft drinks. Recommend

The moment I stepped into this place I felt like I was in a restaurant somewhere in Mexico. The ceiling has beautiful metal stars and vibrant colors everywhere. We were seated immediately. I ordered cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. The enchilada sauce is a little watered down but, still good. Plenty of cheese. The beans are super good !!! The rice is okay. For my grandson a plate of rice and beans. He loved it. ! After our meal the waiter brought us 2 pieces of buñuelos with whip cream on top. A nice treat. The service is good.
