Reviews
This vibrant Mexican restaurant is serving up solid classic dishes. The portions are huge and the price is reasonable. The flavors from the fajita and the flag burrito were solid, but not mind blowing. The proportions of ingredients in the burrito could have been better as it was way too rice heavy and lacking on the beans. The chip and queso dip quality was great however. You cannot go wrong here.
What a gem of a restaurant in Newport! We were the first couple of a group of six. It didn't look promising when we walked in, but this restaurant is much bigger on the inside than expected. We walked all the way to the back and there were a couple big tables for groups. Perfect! Unlike what I'd consider a 'typical' Mexican restaurant, the menu was not massive. They offer a large variety of different Mexican dishes, but it's only two pages long! I ordered the Flag Burrito and thought I was finished. He asked what kind of meat I wanted; it was time to consult the menu again. The options for meat (or veg) were massive, which means you can customize most any item on the menu. Perfect! Everyone enjoyed their meals, but I can only speak to my Flag Burrito made with chicken. It was fantastic! I don't know why, but I was surprised the chicken was shredded. But the beauty of it was that everything inside the burrito, which was indeed massive, was mixed in such a way that the flavors all mixed together perfectly. Yes, I realize I'm over using the word 'perfect'. As I write I realize I have no complaints whatsoever and I've increased my rating from 4 stars to 5. They are well deserved. Our waiter was helpful, but busy. That said, he checked on us often enough for several folks to order seconds on their drinks. I have pictures, but I'm going to do what I really don't like about pictures posted on yelp. I have pictures of meals and I don't now what they are. My apologies. Anyway, if you are in the area... and even if you're not, if you are a fan of Mexican cuisine, definitely stop in. You won't be disappointed.
Delicious, AUTHENTIC (mas o menos) choice for some delicious Mexican comfort food! Fast, friendly service, cozy location right in the heart of downtown Newport. Very reasonable prices, and definitely something for just about everyone!! Hope to be back next time I'm in the area!! Buen provecho!!
Really enjoyed this spot. Lots of fun, great service and delicious food. Couldn't be happier that we decided to stop in for a late Sunday lunch. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was unexpected in a positive way. Can't wait to return
Amazing high quality food and service! The margaritas are great and the waiter was very nice and gave me a slice of tres leches cake for my birthday. We will be coming back here!!!
