The food is delicious and fresh ingredients prepared perfectly. Mariritas excellent. Made doing our laundry at the laundromat... fun since it is 2 doors away. Very clean. The help are very personable and informative. Great restaurant. Will return when I amback in East Lyme! Read more
Food was bland. Had to pay $7 for chips and a tasteless salsa. Most places provide these for free. Chips were good. ... Margaritas were good but overpriced. Server was very good. Read more
Ordered on door dash. Ordered the citrus roasted pork and the mole con pollo and the Mexican bread pudding and flan. Everything... was bland. No flavor at all. I had to add salt and hot sauce just to be able to eat the main dish. Dessert was terrible as wellwith no sweetness and bland. I would never recommend this place to anyone. High priced, small portions(God sent because of howterrible it tasted), and terrible flavor. Read more
I will say that the staff is VERY VERY nice. However, this is the worst Mexican food I have ever had. It is wildly disgusting.... The only thing that had flavor was the sauce on top of my dish. I got a steak burrito and there is not one thing on the insidethat was seasoned. It probably wasn’t even seasoned with salt and pepper lmao. I have no idea where the good reviews arecoming from; probably from people who have never had a taste of any sort of ethnic food before. You’d honestly be better offat Taco Bell lol. Read more
Steak tacos were delicious! The meat was tender and in a flavorful sauce. I also highly recommend the guacamole & chips. Hands... down the best guacamole I\'ve ever had. Read more
We\'ve been there many times already and love this restaurant! A new restaurant also needs time to work out kinks, so people... should be a little more understanding. The Margaritas are amazing and the bartender makes amazing specialty cocktails everyweek, and makes custom drinks for me. The food is delicious. Whoever said the pork is dry is dead wrong! It\'s the most tenderpork I have ever had (I\'ve tried it several times), and pork is definitely a specialty there. I would also rather pay forfreshly made salsa with house made chips than be given free salsa from a jar. You get what you pay for. If you don\'t want topay for it, there\'s a Moe\'s in Waterford that may be more up your alley. Read more
Been there twice and both times food was excellent and service was great. Had the enchilada\'s and burritos (ask for extra... sauce) which I almost couldnt finish (big). My son had the Monk Fish which was delicious. Wife had the Margaritas that wereexcellent. They make an awesome red Sangria! My new Mexican go to! Read more
We had an excellent and authentic Mexican lunch. Good service, kitchen was not slow. I appreciated that the menu was short -a... few good things done well rather than a lot done with mediocrity.\nGreat to have a good Mexican restaurant at four corners! Read more
