    Server was hammered and spilled two margaritas all over me. Asked me three separate times what tortillas I ordered and still brought back the wrong ones. Told the manager about our experience, NOTHING comped. No apology from the manager nothing. Worst restaurant experience. The table was covered in salsa or throw up before the spill.

    This was my to go place when I’m craving Octopus, their Octopus and Mushroom appetizer was sublime! Unfortunately the last three times that I ordered here was a let down when it comes to flavor and portion. I understand that everything is expensive nowadays but the picture below for my own opinion is not worth $16.99.

    Place was a bit pricey. They should update the prices online so people know what they are getting into. I'd say it's worth it for a place to go every once and a while. Food was really good. The service was really good. Waiter was super nice and made the experience for my grandmas birthday very special. Overall pretty good experience.

    6 of us ate on a Saturday night around 5:30. The restaurant was busy but we were seated right away! Alberto our server was amazing, and all of the staff that helped out with waters/chips and salsa were very attentive. The food came out FAST which was amazing cause we came hungry! We will definitely be back.

    I've been in Lakewood for 30 years but never tried this place when I first noticed it a few years back. Always wanted to, though. I kept seeing the commercials lately about their newest Golden location, so I thought I'd try the Lakewood location since I always have been meaning to try it for many years anyway. The chips and salsa were very good and the chips were nice and warm. The meal I had was just average. The chili rellano was nice and crispy, but it had hardly any chili in it and was mostly loaded with cheese. There was no green chili or melted cheese smothered over the chimichanga at all, but was instead topped with big scoops of sour cream and guacamole. A bit different than what I was used to. The chicken inside the chimichanga was kinda dry and not very flavorful, so I had to keep washing it down with my Pepsi (they gave no water like one would normally expect and get at any other Mexican food restaurant). Staff were friendly, and the service was good but could have been better. Server kept asking if everything was OK but never offered to refill my Pepsi that I had to keep washing down my dry chicken chimi with. The empty cup was in plain view by the edge of the table with ice filling over half the cup. So when she came back the 4th time, I nicely asked for a refill, and when it was brought over, most of the ice was melted. It was warm and syrupy with no carbonation this time. I could tell it had been sabatoged all just because I had to nicely ask for a refill rather than them doing their job earlier to refill it for me automatically way earlier. How hard is it to notice an empty glass and say, "Would you like another Pepsi, sir?" rather than force me to ask you 20 minutes after I ran out and then give me warm syrup instead of the nice, same, bubbly Pepsi I had the first time?? Because of this part of my experience being negative, and because the food was just average and didn't really stand out, I won't come back.
