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+!

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!

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.

We were nervous to try due to the reviews but decided to give them a try. Glad we did. I got the Plabano enchiladas, hubby got beef enchiladas and our toddler cheese enchiladas. We all cleaned our plate! It was very good! Idk why this place had low reviews. It was good. Our waiter was super nice and informative. I love the mom and pop feel here. We will be back

Such a great place and I feel that not enough people know about it. The salsa is perfect. And they bring you queso with your chips as well. Today my wife ordered enchiladas suizas and she was very impressed. I ordered frijoles and the kid had the usually quesadillas. Service was very attentive.

We had a group of 10, first time to this area and to this restaurant. The food is SO GOOD! Everyone really loved their meals and drinks, and the service was amazing. Prices are more than reasonable for how much food you get. It’s sad we don’t live here, we would be here all the time!
