Our favorite Mexican restaurant of all time! We have been coming here for over 10 years and the food is amazing. We always get the cheese crisp - because - why not? It’s thin and crispy and really good dipped in their salsa or with beans on top. The sizzling chicken fajitas are always a hit with guacamole. And of course I would be remiss if I didn’t put a shout out to Ate - our favorite waiter. He’s taken care of us for years and even remembers our food and drink orders and puts them in when we arrive!

I am quite literally obsessed with the chips & salsa as well as the mini chimi’s. Iv been coming here for years & constantly crave it. I currently live across the country & always make it a point to come here when I'm in town. Highly recommend!

Celebrated double 50th birthdays at the Glendale location. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Benny and his team did a great job. Our party turned out great and our guests were all very happy.

We visited eith 40 people as a club. Because the manager was willing to work with us ahead of time, the time from starting to take orders to getting food brought about was about what you'd expect for a regular family size. The good was great. How much food was on the plates were generous. I can eat off of food I get here twice, but there were one of two of our group that managed to eat everything on their plate... but I think they were the exception and not the rule. The server was great and seemed to be able to manage such a large party, their drinks, and additional purchases without problem.

Arrived at 715pm with a 15min wait. The staff was very friendly. Server was on top of the refills. Chips and salsa were great. I order the steak fajita with a side of shrimp. The food came out sizzling on a hot plate. The flavor was rich and tasted amazing. I would return for the fajita. Next I want to try the original Chimi.
