First time visiting. Great atmosphere, fun decorations! Great service, super friendly and stayed on top of table service! Food had great flavor! We got the enchiladas and tamales and a kids meal. Chips and salsa were good and we loved how we got FREE queso! We paid about $40 for 2 adult meals and a kids meal and that was with a tip. Definitely will be back.
I can’t tell you how delish the fajitas are. I'm also a huge fan of their spinach enchiladas. There isn’t anything on the menu that hasn’t been a great decision to order. One thing I love about Mom Alone is they do give queso with the chops & red salsa. I love bringing friends to experience their first time. They have all been impressed and love their food. The owners are the kindest people. I’ve been a loyal fan and customer for many years, and will be for many more!
The food was wonderful, I had the cheese enchladas and hubby had beef fajitas nachos. I love this place! The building could definitely be renovated, but otherwise A+!
