A clean facility and food is always delicious! Staff is super friendly and smiley! We love their chips, salsa, and pico de gallo to start!
First time visit tonight. The restaurant was almost completely full when we arrived. We were immediately greeted and told that we would be seated shortly. During our short way we were greeted by at least three different people as they busily delivered food to different tables throughout the restaurant. We saw how delicious different dishes looked as they passed, and it smelled so good in there. The wait to be seated was short. The manager (owner?) seated us. He was very nice and told us someone would be right with us. A young man showed up immediate after that with chips, salsa, and pico. I didn't get his name, but he was super friendly and personable. Server came next, three for three on the friendly, happy staff! We ordered drinks. I had a margarita rocks (delicious) and my friend had a "plum rita" that they said was the best cocktail they had had in a very long time. The menu was extensive! I had seafood enchiladas with a salad to replace the rice and beans. Our server, Gabriella, was very accommodating. My friend ordered the pork enchiladas. Both of our dishes were outstandingly good. My friend's pork enchiladas came smothered in a creamy green sauce like we had not seen before. So GOOD!! My enchiladas were so filling that I could barely touch my incredibly large salad (I thought it would be a little side salad). Start to finish everything was top notch. Cute decor. Very clean. Awesome, friendly service from EVERYONE we encountered. (Thank you again, Gabriella and All!). Excellent food and drinks. Plenty of parking. There were many more items on the large menu that we want to try. We will DEFINITELY be back again...soon! What a gem of a restaurant.
Always big serving sizes. This restaurant can get busy but there is plenty of parking. Staff is always attentive and friendly. The salsas are delicious and they refill chips.
Las Espuelas has the very best food, service and drinks in all of the lands. The arroz con pollo is tender, flavorful and full of spices and fresh vegetables and more. Wow. Wow. The combinacuones with taco, tamale and enchilada will take your breath away. The crisp corn shell on the taco. The tender marinated chicken and the beans and rice. Amazing. Service feels like you are at casa de la familia. Your family home. Warm welcoming and wonderful.
Hola It's a light, cheerful & clean place. Happy people serving great food. Our party of 4 enjoyed the perfect lunch. Ordered from extensive lunch specials list for $16. Look forward to returning.
I tried one of the burritos they offered (fajita burrito?) and their peach margarita. Super delicious! Tasted just as described, and great serving size. Interior design is colorful and spacious! The employees were super welcoming and friendly, always making sure everything was doing well during our meal. They provided great service!
