“ Ordered enchiladas and chicken tacos. Enchiladas were great. Chicken was dry for the chicken tacos. The service was good but slow. Very busy place. ”
“ The food here is excellent and they home make their tortillas. Fast friendly service. The outside seating area is comfortable and fun. I highly recommend ”
“ We ended up in hollister today after doing everything we needed to find a place to eat. It was nice. They had a good variety on their menu. The seating was ample probably because we went at an odd time . They do have a nice patio area as well. They look to have a full bar but since we were driving back we didn't get a chance to try it out. The service was very prompt. Our service dog enjoy the rest while we ate. Nice ther we had a quiet little corner for him. ”
“ Excellent lunch outside on the sidewalk. Perfect portion sizes. We had the chili relleno & enchilada suizas ”
“ I'm going with a solid 4 star review. Carne asada was fantastic. Beans and rice could have been a little warmer. But I'm not going to take points off for that. Chips and salsa also very tasty. Flan was a tiny portion, but tasted great. Servicemet expectations. ”
“ The service was great. Very attentive for our large group. I expected the portions to be a bit bigger for the price but not horrible. The chips and salsa were yummy. I ordered the chile relleno and it was very good. The only things I noticed that I would recommend to change is that there were flies when you walk in, and there is a hole in the ceiling towards the front. I wasn't sure what that hole was about but it just makes the restaurant look rundown. ”
“ I was in Hollister for work and this sounded like one of the best choices based on the front desk at the hotel; they weren't wrong. The staff was friendly, the margaritas were tasty but packed a punch, the chips and salsa were so satisfying, and the baja (shrimp) taco with a side of corn on the cob was a fantastic way to end my evening. I sat at the high tops in the bar section, so the bartender waited on me - she was very nice and made great recommendations. She recommended the pomegranate margarita, and it did not disappoint. And then guided me to the taco choice for dinner. My stomach and soul were very happy after leaving here! ”
“ We ordered in tonight so I can't speak to the service but our food was excellent! My son and husband devoured their food before a picture could be taken. They ordered - enchilada suizas -chicken, bean, rice burrito I had the Revalcada and it was delicious! Not greasy at all. I didn't use the tortillas but it was perfect. The flavor of this dish is on point every time. Simple, not covered in sauce, good calories! For such a small town, this is "winner, winner chicken dinner". I love supporting small businesses. ”
