We got there for an early dinner. The lady at the front just told us to sit wherever we wanted to, the first section near the door just had booths further into the restaurant there were tables which we sat at one of them. While here we didn't just have one waiter or waitress, at least three or four different people helped us at some point. They took our drink orders and brought chips and salsa shortly after we were seated. I really enjoyed this salsa it was chunky and you could see all the different things in it, the onion, peppers, and tomatoes among other things.
Usually when I go to a new Mexican place I like to get a combo with multiple things instead of just one. So if I don't like one thing there's not that much of it to eat, and if I really like one thing I can get it next time. This place however was a little harder to do this since they don't have a build your own combo. They did have about 14 different combos, my mom and I both got the number 13 combo which had a Chile relleno, a cheese enchilada and a beef taco, which I didn't really want, but it was the best sounding combo. I thought everything on the plate was very good but I don't think any of it was the best Mexican food I've had. The Chile relleno was long and skinny with green chili on top. It was crispy, which is what I like, it had cheddar cheese inside the pepper. It was a little bit different from what I expected; I thought it tasted kind of like a jalapeno Popper. The green chili was good on top, I kind of wish I would've had more of the green chili. The enchilada was good not anything too exciting, but good. The taco was also good I really liked the shell, it was different than any taco shells I had before. It was like they actually made it. My mom also like her combo plate, she thought the Chile relleno was hot up by the stem, which mine didn't have.
My dad had the combo with the Chile relleno and a beef and bean burrito. His whole plate was smothered in green chili and he also thought it was good.
Overall this place was very good, not the best I've ever had but still very good. My favorite part I think was the chips and salsa, and the green chili which I wish I had more of.

Ryan, this is a great post. You asked about the peppers I use. I actually swap them out depending what is available in the market on a given day I should have been more clear about it in my post. Thanks for calling the discrepancy to my attention. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
