Big portions and delicious food. They also make a mean margarita. Of the Mexican restaurants I have been to around the Pasadena area with my family, this is tops thus far.

Just the facts. This restaurant must depend on some loyal followers because there is absolutely nothing to recommend it. The food is rank...we ordered the Tostada with shredded beef and the Chicken Enchilada con Mole. The freshest and most plentiful ingredient on the plates was the shredded iceberg lettuce, which based on the relatve volume of it versus other ingredients (including the scant amount of beef or chicken) and the price of the entres, I figured accounted for about $20 of the bill (must have been imported). The server couldn't have been more bored or disinterested in being a server and actually seemed quite annoyed that we were interupting his siesta with the other servers. The final grave disappointment was the $40 check for 2 bad entres, a very small side.of guacamole and 2 short glasses of ice tea (I dare you to get a refill). In short it was neither a fiesta or grande!
