This place demands you tip. They will ask you not to come back if the tip isn't to THEIR standards. Horrible and disgusting way to treat customers.

Always great food & service. Food is served quickly and sizzling hot! Service is always friendly. I'm not sure if this a family owned establishment, but there is wait staff that's been there for 10+ years, which is nice to see.

My son is going to have to find a new taco spot. We were charged $1.99 for sour cream and $1.50 for cheese. That's crazy after spending almost $11 for 3 "American style" tacos which consist of: flour tortilla & some bland chicken. Then there's a 30 cent take out fee and a tip! In the end I spent almost $20 for one person to have some very mediocre tacos with expensive toppings, and fries. The restaurant was dark, mostly empty and smelled like old cooking oil, and the hostess who took the order seems depressed.

The restaurant was packed as of Cinco De Mayo, which we already knew. The service was good as per Zuleka who was our waitress. The food was very good as for it being crowded and short staff. The restaurant has alot of historic features of Mexico. It was nice to see that. I probably come back when it's not busy just to get a better experience.

Food was delicious. We went for the sat/Sunday buffet. Have zero complaints on food quality. However i expected more than one salsa choice. Giant, delicious shrimp. No cocktail sauce. Best crab legs I've had in a restaurant (they seasoned them) but no melted butter. Over all I'm happy but a couple more condiments would be amazing

We went for the buffet. Got there at 2pm ( buffet hrs are 11-4) and the selection was sparse at best. Food was dry and limited. Dessert was ice cream and all scoops were dirty from sitting in the tubs.

I'm not sure if there is a new owner, but definitely not what it was once. This may be a thing, but I've never had peas and carrots in Spanish rice, which had no flavor, so it didn't really affect anything. I used to love the mole sauce, but they couldn't pull that off this time, but they did let me swap it for a chicken quesadilla, which unfortunately was not good either (chicken was very tough,stringy and watery). Nachos supreme was so watery they were soggy on the bottom and not from cheese. It was as if the chicken was left sitting in a pot of water on heat all day. I will say the Pollo loco was very tasty, although the amount of food decreased and the price increased. This was, at one time, the best food, awesome price with fast service with a smile, and I hope they can get back to that.

I was told about the buffet option by a family member so we wanted to try it out. We came in around 2pm and it was supposed to be til 4pm. We were sat immediately served complimentary chips. We went up to the buffet and majority of the items were either empty or dried up. There were still some food items that were decent enough to make it worth it like the steamed shrimp and chicken & steak fajita. Had to ask for items to be refilled like taco shells, sour cream and guacamole. There were two soup items, one was some seafood looking thing that didn't look too appetizing and the other one was empty and dried up. The shrimp ran out and we had to ask for some more which took some time to get brought out and it wasn't the same as what was originally out on the buffet line. They also ran out of plates, but at that point we were just tired of asking for stuff to be replenished that we just called it quits. Service was so-so, they didn't really clear tables that often. The few selections of food we tried were ok, but we probably wouldnt return again.

The food was good, but not great. The tamale was too soft, and the rice was bland. The chicken enchiladas were good, but the beef enchilada was made with ground beef, so it was a bit odd. The atmosphere felt very authentic, but mixed with slow service and too much quiet, the food did not impress. The lunch specials were priced well, but for a dollar or two more, I would have made a different choice for lunch.

A Dover area gem if your looking for good authentic tasting Mexican food! The fajitas, spicy tomatillo salsa, and the weekend buffet make this a great choice for lunch or dinner. If your grabbing a beer, get an ice cold Dos Equis Amber on tap. Service via phone is not always available when they are busy, but the service in person is generally good and they will accommodate any needs for menu item changes. There is plenty of parking on location as well!

I’ve only ever gotten the Chicken Taco when I go & it’s DELISH!!! I always find it extremely cold, which may not be a bad thing if you’re a hot person, it’s just not something I like. I also find the window area is not the cleanest. They’re not shy with the alcohol & I personally only need 1 maybe 1.5 drinks. The food & drinks is why I’m rating it a 4.

Enjoyed a very good lunch with a friend today. The host/server kept a friendly smile. She was attentive to us and our food was prepared well. The presentation of our entrees was neat, with nothing splattered all over the plate. Looked very appetizing. Our food was also served hot, which a lot of times, by the time it gets to the table, it's usually barely warm, in a lot of places. Definitely worth the visit. Prices were also very reasonable.

The food is pretty good. The price isn’t unreasonable. The service could use some work. They are very inattentive. I was recently there, and I had to wave down the server every single time. She never once checked to see if I needed anything. Normally, I wouldn’t care, if I could get my own drinks and such, but since I can’t, it makes a big difference to me when I think about places to go. I was thinking about Mexican food just now. I might have considered going there if the service wasn’t so bad. Instead, I think I’ll go to La Hacienda. The food is at least as good, actually better, and the service is many times better.

I cam here to get the Tuesday margaritas, we were met with a rude waitress. It took 10 minutes for her to come ask for drinks. We asked for a margarita pitcher on the rocks, specified that we did not want them frozen. The waitress came back with another lady with a frozen pitcher and try to make us pay for it after we said we did not want it. Then she proceeded to get the manager who asked if we wanted our margaritas on the rocks, which we said yes, and he went back to the bar. then the two waitresses came back 15 minutes later, and said they no longer have margaritas, which was a lie. Terrible service she never asked us once for food; took very long to come back between the issues.

Chicken tortilla soup had NO chicken in it strange. It was loaded with avocado and sour cream?! Never had that in other places the avocado i knew the sour cream tho made it better ngl. The tortilla strips on it were quite good but wouldn’t get it again. Now the fajitas. Chicken was good perfectly and seasoned SOOO GOOD. The vegetables coulda used more time on the onions and more salt atleast. A little less onion and more peppers and red peppers woulda been good. I recommend getting without tomato bc it gets all mushy. I work up in DE often so having a good Mexican restaraunt to go to is good. I will come back but try a different appetizer.3/5

Simply delicious food. I had a burrito there that I devoured. Salsa is good though I wish it had more heat. The service is very nice. Definitely worth a stop, and my wife and I have been plenty of times and will plenty more. Newer review: still tasty, though churros were a little sad. My newest review: service has taken a giant leap downhill. I tried calling the place an order and after 8 attempts with either no answer or picking up and hanging up I gave up. I went to the place to order in person and it took 5 minutes before anyone even approached me. I haven't tried the food yet as it still hasn't been made, but I'm not sure I want to come back based on the service. And I shouldn't take it personally. While I was there the phone rang three times and they never answered. Dropping from 5 to 3 stars.

This used to be my favorite Mexican spot, probably won’t ever go back. Took my family out to eat here tonight. Waited 15 minutes to be seated. Waited another 15 for our server. They didn’t have Carnitas even though it’s on the menu. My daughter asked for apple juice, they didn’t have that so ordered orange juice. She got cranberry juice. Waited an hour for our food, two customers that were seated 20 minutes after us had already been served. For the first time in my life we got up and walked out of the restaurant an hour and 15 minutes after arrival having never even got our order. Thanks Gloria…

Second best Mexican food I've had in Dover, although that isn't saying a lot. The restaurant has a very comfortable and authentic vibe. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced, and the service is friendly and quick. Plenty of vegetarian options for those that need or desire them as well. I changed my review to a 4 from a 5 after trying more items on the menu. Some are fresher than others. The garlic mojo shrimp is covered in that gross pre-chopped garlic that comes in a jar. Update: I came back to Dover for work a month ago, and the service we got (sitting at the bar) was terrible. There was no bartender, just a server who infrequently returned to the bar. We waited a while to order and for everything in between, when the server actually understood us or didn't make a mistake.

Extremely dissatisfied. Wasn’t given utensils or napkins. Server didn’t check on us. I had to go get utensils myself after attempting to flag down the server. Went through half our meal with no drink. Then part of our order didn’t come so we asked to have it taken off the bill and the server couldn’t understand us and instead thought we wanted the stuff that didn’t come out and brought it out even tho we were finished with our food and ready to go. There is one of these restaurants in Dover and I enjoy going there but I will NEVER come to the one in Rehoboth again. The food was decent but the serves was not.
