| - We took the 14 . 7 mile drive from the south end of the strip to this restaurant because of the good yelp reviews, we were a little surprised to find it is actually a small 8-9 table restaurant attached to a Panadaria (bakery ), but it looked nice enough and so we went on in, there were only a couple other patrons, and our waitress quickly cleaned off a table for us and we sat down, she soon returned with chips and salsa. The basket of chips was actually 5 whole deep fried corn tortillas and the salsa was very tasty, medium to spicy with fresh cilantro. Within a short 5-7 minute wait our plates arrived. I had the chicken burrito enchilada style with verde sauce. It was garnished with guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo. The burro was good sized, the chicken was large pieces of white meat and fairly flavorful, the burro also had refried beans and overall was decent, but kinda dry. My meal was certainly not bad, and the chili verde sauce was homemade and above average. But the entire plate came to the table only warm, not hot like many times is the custom with Mexican food dishes, where the server has to use a hot pad to bring it, within a couple minutes it seemed cold. I inquired about the quality of the other meal and the report was about the same as mine, the food was barely warm, the sauce above average but the shredded beef was the canned variety and while acceptable certainly not like slow roasted, simmered in spices and cooked to perfection! Overall we rate this place 4 stars. The service was good, our server appeared to be working the dining room alone and was efficient and attentive. The salsa fresh and flavorful. The sauces above average. Probably a very nice neighborhood restaurant, driving here from the strip, we probably passed by quite a few better Mexican food options and probably won't be back, but we will make a stop at Luv-It frozen custard and cleanse our palates with a delicious frozen treat! Adios Maria!
