Maybe I am missing something, because the great reviews brought us to this place. But really?? The place is a mess. Unclean, sticky tables (after being bussed), filthy floors, a menu that is almost all fried stuff. Plus the place SMELLS like fried grease. Ugh. We walked in and walked out. I wouldn't eat free food there.

Good TexMex food for the most part. But, gruesome atmosphere. Felt like I was in a time-warp in some Quentin Tarantino movie eating In a converted bowling alley with the vampires/whatever characters ready to pop-out at any moment. Plenty of local Mexican places to dine at that are much more pleasant. Too bad because the management & staff were really nice. But, short of total demolition, there's just not much they can do to fix the issues here. Gave them a overall 3; it's a mix of 4 for food/service & a 1 for facility/atmosphere/ambiance.

I had the shredded beef burrito smothered in green chili. My wife had the chicken enchiladas with green chili. We took it to go. It was really, really good. I eat food everyday so believe me; you should go get some food from La Hacienda! Real casual. Laid back place. Nice folks

We stopped in for lunch at Ole Taco and it didn't go very well from there. Our server who said she is related to the owners, greeted us fairly sourly. Then she got one order out four correct. When we asked for an extra taco she brought a complete platter dinner so we went ahead and paid for that as well as the 3 incorrect orders because its simpler. The food was pretty good but isn't as authentic as they would like to make you believe. My recommendation . . . pass on by.

Hole in the wall bar that has good entertainment and great food. Strong drinks! Limited menu. Anything Hatch Pepper is great. Heard Enchilada Thursday is the most popular night. Not open Saturday or Sunday, or lunch any day. Why? Because they don't want to. Gotta respect that.

The Chiliquiles at El Paraiso are delicious. I recently had breakfast at El Paraiso and totally enjoyed the Chiliquiles with scrambled eggs refried beans. They were prepared just the way I like them with plenty of red sauce. My husband had the juevos rancheros which he said were good.The restaurant is located at the far end of the Albertsons Market parking lot. There is plenty of parking.The wait staff was courteous and accommodating.

We had breakfast at Chef Lupes. The food was really good. The only complaint I had was I asked for chips and salsa. My request was met with a confused look. The response was "you will have to pay for the chips as it is breakfast." I have never understood while people assume you aren't willing to pay for something. Furthermore, why wouldn't you serve chips during a Mexican breakfast?

Homemade and delicious. The service was amazing. We went early for dinner and had the outside almost to ourselves. Peaceful, quiet, exactly what we were looking for. Chips and salsa were winners. Combo fajitas and cheese enchiladas also perfect. The kind of place you might just eat at again the next day.

Mrs Pena was working hard and all the tables were full. We were able to sit down simply because someone was leaving when we walked in.If you are in a hurry, don't stop at Pena's; but, if you want an amazing meal (we stopped for breakfast) and have the time to enjoy your meal, Pena's is a must.Very clean, great service, excellent food! Mrs. Pena clearly loves serving others....
