Had a ton of fun here! 2 complimentary margaritas, woot woot! The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is super friendly, and the food is swell as well. Chips and guac were awesome, I also enjoyed the pork enchiladas. The flan was slightly on the sweeter side but, make no mistake, was a great way to end the meal. Overall, a wonderful establishment!

The food was delicious + FREE (good) MARGARITAS! Kids will the horchata. The chicken tacos were perfect for kids, and a good size. Had to try the Quesabirrias, they are juicy, and pack on a little spice. The restaurant itself was not packed for a Sunday at 4:30pm. Pleasant and accommodating service. Would definitely go back.

Food and service are always excellent. But today, I ordered a side of rice, and i got 4 ounces of rice for 2 dollars. My jaw dropped. Lots of money for 3 spoons of rice. See pictures for comparison or reference. This is the one in Ambler pa.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Ambler! Fast, friendly service with delicious food made from healthy locally sourced ingredients. My favorite is the enchiladas with chocolatey mole ("mah lay") sauce!

The restaurant offered a wide variety of authentic and homecooked style Spanish food for a small town in Ambler, PA. The restaurant atmosphere is cute with Spanish decorations. I ordered their chorizo chimichanga. It was a very large portion and comes with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and chipotle sauce. It was very filling and very delicious. It was mouth-watering. So much flavor and it has a nice kick of spice. Service was great too.

The 4 of us had a great time. The food was great, the staff super friendly and attentive. All the food was delicious! We also had flan & 3 leches cake, but no pictures, we ate it all before . The nachos are always our favorite and great value for the quality and portions of the food. The ground beef empanadas were a bit greasy, but a napkin fixed it. The tacos, fajitas, nachos and sope were awesome!
