What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise the vibrant salsa bar and the generous portions of flavorful Mexican dishes like enchiladas and burritos. The atmosphere is generally described as inviting, with options for both self-service and dine-in. However, some reviewers have noted inconsistent service quality and a less than ideal 'cafeteria-style' dining experience during certain times or on the dine-in side, leading to mixed feelings about the overall value and professionalism.

"0 stars if I could. The “server” was very dry and unprofessional, first, she totally ignored us once we walked in, when finally got her attention we ordered our food and when she brought the plates she spilled the sauce (sauce that we had to stand and go to grab it by ourselves) on the table and she just bring a bunch of napkins to us (to clean up her mess she did by ourselves too?) not even saying a sorry or a word. We didn’t see anything to her because we were so hungry and unpleasant enough to make a bigger deal. We went to this place because of our Airbnb host recommend this place as “one of the best places to eat” I can’t imagine how are the other places around. Anyway. We just want to recommend that when you bring the appetizer you have to bring plates on the side to share it something that she didn’t do. But the most important advice is that you have a better people taking care of your clients more humans and professional if she doesn’t like Mexican culture or people what is she doing there.? We like to leave a 20% tip every restaurant we go and this wasn’t the exception. We know about service and professionalism. My siblings work in the industry and they really know how to give great service and no matter what. Worst experience ever here in Washington."

"Cool little spot in Squim. They have a very fun thing going on where they have a self-serve salsa bar with many different kinds of fresh ingredient salsas. They have a fairly limited option menu but it has lots of sub-options in it. I had the shredded beef burrito platter. It came with a smothered red sauce burrito and it had shredded lettuce and cheese over the top with a scoop of sour cream and guac. It was tasty and delicious. They have a full bar with lots of craft drinks available and a large local craft beer menu. They had the Thursday night NFL game on."
