The food is excellent and the service is great. You can dine in or dine outside or do take out. Both areas are clean and pleasant. Staff is friendly and efficient. When I am in Ellensburg this is my go to place for Mexican meals.

Carne Asada
Absolutely delicious food and a great experience right here. This restaurant can be a little hard to find since the entrance is in the back of a building, but once you find your way here you're in for a treat! Stepping in, the interior is lively and spacious, with part of the kitchen open to the dining room, so you get to see the cooks making your food.
I ordered the chicken chipotle burrito and was thoroughly impressed. The chicken was blended with a homemade chipotle spice, not just that creamy canned stuff you sometimes get at other Mexican restaurants. The burrito was also stuffed heartily with beans and, don't knock it til you try it- zucchini. The zucchini added a wonderful freshness and unique flavor that paired really well with and enhanced the chipotle seasoning! Needless to say, I was very pleased.
My friend ordered the carne asada, and he said he was very pleased with it as well. I can't speak for him, but he finished his plate. We also had Mexican hot chocolates! They were absolutely delicious, well-rounded drinks. Would highly recommend.
Our service was absolutely stellar, with our food coming fast and our waitress very attentive. Even though this is a restaurant where you order and pay at the counter, she continually checked on us to make sure we were doing alright and to clear our plates.
Ellensburg has a lot of good Mexican food, and I would count this restaurant among the best of them.

This was my third time going to their restaurant. The first two times, the food was served in a very timely fashion, with decent service. Last night I had gone with my partner for dinner. I will say I’m not too fond of having to go up to a counter, and order my food to be then asked to pay, along with a tip request.
Anyhow, the lady who took our order was nice. We got our food once again in a timely fashion, but after we were given our food, we were never asked how it was or if we needed anything. We we just handed out food, and were asked if we had wanted salsa.
We had gotten a burrito and a torta. I was irritated to begin with because it felt like the tortillas had been just barley heated up, along with I’m not quite sure if the meat was even properly to temp because the burrito was just warm. Not even hot. If they were busy I might brushed it off, but with the layout of the place you can tell.
We finished our meal. The burrito and torta were fine with good amounts, and good flavors. Nothing special though. But I just thought to myself while eating, how can somebody be expected to tip before they’re even really provided any service, also what if I wanted to tip with cash after. Why should a tip motivate you to take care of your customers and make sure they’re enjoying the food and everything’s okay. And like I said earlier, if it was busy, somewhat acceptable. But if you’re going to be talking chisme with your coworkers, check on the ones who you’re serving. (I will add, I did not tip with the card machines I had cash to leave a tip. In my opinion, there’s not much difference between this place and a m Donald’s if you’re doing take out.

Great space for a quick bite or a long dinner. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly. Clean space with minimal but effective decor.
