What People's Say About Place

We arrived right before mid-afternoon closure. Our waitress was friendly, helpful and kind . Our family of eight was treated like family, and food was hit, and delicious!

Don't know how my first review was wrong but I would never give such an authentic Mexican restaurant with ok here goes this my honest opinion is think everyone knows how i love the Asado and the Menudo but today was the first time I ever tried a burger and we'll honestly i have idea now why I've been going out of town for a great homemade cheeseburger it was absolutely delicious meat hanging out on all sides of the bun cheese perfectly melted i was gonna post a picture but by the time I thought of it it halfway gone and no one likes seeing a half eaten burger sorry net time tho. Oh and it's the first time I've gotten my order right the first time with noooo mayonnaise ugh.....

Had the buffet. Good selection of food. They also had some american food. Loved the enchiladas! They were a little too spicy for me, but I dont eat a lot of spicy food. The food was really good, service was very fast and serves were friendly.

This is THE BEST FOOD in Artesia. The food is always so good. They are so nice and polite, they provide Amazing service. BEST PLACE TO EAT EVER.

A co-worker recommended and she didn't disappoint me! I've been in Carlsbad since Nov and have yet to find a decent place for Mexican food.....who knew I had to drive about 30min down the road for good eats!!

My family had such an amazinging experience eating here for the first time. The atmosphere was so pleasant and the food was exceptionally good. It's been a long time to have such favorable food and still warm to perfect temperature when served. I want to thank them for the great experience we had.
