On 4/13/2024 LaKrisha Spivey had this to say:
It's that time, y'all!! Another restaurant review. Hubby and I have been going to them for a while. This is his favorite Mexican spot. So long they moved from Douglas Ave to Merle Hay Rd. Today, I got the Molcajete Rancho Fiesta, and hubby got Zapata. We tried mine at one other restaurant and loved it, so why not try it here. They didn't disappoint!! I didn't realize it had a cactus. I thought I was eating some kind of pepper. I enjoyed the cactus. My favorite part was the panela. I love, love, love cheese. It's very soft and creamy. The drinks never disappoint and well worth the price! The only downfall is don't leave your meat in the bowl too long it will dry out but still good coming from someone who is a texture person and is very particular about her beef/steak. The atmosphere and decor are great, and they even have patio space. I would definitely recommend it, but as I always say. Don't take my word for it. Try it for yourself!! HAPPY EATING!!
