"I'm thinking I'd go 4.5 stars. It's very comparable to the La Puente/La Fountain menus out there, foods as well as prices. Some things were definitely better here, but I personally didn't care for their horchata versus La Puente. (I'm not sure if they uselike cinnamon sticks and steep them in the rice milk or if they use an extract? It tasted like a cinnamon extract was used, butI am not familiar with horchata-making processes, so maybe this is a version commonly done. Just not my favorite compared to thehorchatas where I see powdered cinnamon used. I tried the ground beef chimichanga to compare what I usually get at LP, and itwas really great. In addition to the beef it had onion, potatoes, cheese, just lots of flavor and extra goodies that pleasantlysurprised me, and it wasn't too greasy. My husband said the smothered burritos were better too, not as nostalgic but like a stepup in flavor (and heat apparently . Beans and rice sides are just as expected and tasty. Their seasoned, crispy chips and salsacame right out and were tasty separately and together. I'd say a medium heat on their salsa, and less blended/more chunky.Ambiance was nice (TV playing music videos was eh; kinda distracting , lots of tables and booths in all directions around therestaurant, and overall clean (didn't use restrooms . They brought the kids' food out as soon as it was ready per our request sothe kids wouldn't have to wait for all the food to be ready, though ours came plenty fast still (about 5 on a Wednesdayevening . Staff was nice and accommodating. We'll go again, I'm sure!"
