Excellent food in a delightful colorful setting.

Very good appetizers. We had the empanada dish and the shrimp platter. The main courses were fair. Entree choice was Lahambra and Pechuga.. The safrin rice was dry and the lahambra was very salty. No sour cream provided. The pechuga was chicken stuffed with crabmeat. My dinner guest was not impressed. The service was excellent , although they only have (15) tables.

First. let me say that their participation in the airline miles dining program brought us here. Their front door is somewhat scary, like the entrance to a Speakeasy. The interior is dimly lit with a garish decor against a black ceiling. There were no prices listed on their specialty drinks menu. We ordered soft drinks and were brought a can of soda sand a bottle of Snapple; we had to ask for glasses of ice. Even though it was after lunch and there were only about 15 people present it took a long time for our entrees to arrive. It seemed even longer because no complimentary chips and salsa were provided to whet our appetites. My barely warm bland Chicken Enchiladas came on a hot plate with lots of lettuce. My spouse's Combo Fortaleza had nice seasoning although a somewhat salty flavor. The rice and beans were average. After the disappointing entrees, we skipped the $6 Flan. They have 1/2 price Happy Hour drinks and Nachos & Wings Mondays through Thursdays that would might motivate you to visit during that time. Just don't go with high expectations for other choices on the menu.

I found their oily chips and watery salsa left an aftertaste in my mouth. They offered several appealing specialty Margaritas for less than $8.50. We had their Monday "All You Eat" special for $11.95 (children under 12; $6.95) featuring soup and 22 popular choices with rice and beans. The Lime soup was packed with chicken and chips and topped with melted cheese. My #10 watery taco contents sogged up the adjacent Chimichanga on plate. Both had plentiful chicken contents but little else was noteworthy. My spouse's #14 (one each chicken, ground beef, and cheese enchilada) were disappointing. Their rice was dry and their re-fried beans average. I closed on a high note with an excellent large, dense flan selected from their extensive dessert menu (for a Mexican restaurant). There's an expansive sports bar on one side and a large dining room on the other side of the entrance. The entrance to their parking lot comes up fast at the top of the hill on Rt 46 East immediately after the Outwater Lane overpass.

The manager of this location certainly takes pride in cleanliness. The restaurant is spotless and even the bathroom are extremely clean.The is as expected and tasty. Give the sofritas a try, I think they pack more flavor than the other options.Finally, I've been here a few times, and sometimes they have some interesting EDM playing in the background. Like, the beat doesn't ever seem to drop EDM. Interesting choice.Either way, great lunch.
