    The best ChoriPollo around and believe you me, I've tried them all! I suggest the dish to anyone who hasn't tried it. Split chicken breast topped with chorizo sausage and queso. Delicioso!

    The staff is wonderful and service is speedy. Always very welcoming!

    One waitress and two hostesses at mealtime. Lengthy wait to get drinks. Flies everywhere. Loud drinking crowd at 5 pm on a weekday in the bar taking videos and singing at the top of their lungs kept us from being able to converse so we left. I like a good time but table was sticky and enough was enough. Bye El Barzon.

    Conveniently located right on the main road with its own private parking lot. Open late, we're here on a Sunday at 8:30pm, a plus for us.
        The place has the whole Mexican ambiance and colorful decor with a tv playing the game or whatever you want. Staff is friendly and fast.
        Extensive menu, even though we love ordering fajitas no matter how many options they give us. Love the place, love the food. 5 stars.

    First visit.  Will not be our last.  Food is delicious with large portions.  I have no idea what I ordered, but the hominy soup was excellent.  The pico de Gallo was excellent.  The rice and beans were so fresh and well seasoned that this side could have been the main entree.  The wait staff was prompt and courteous.  The restaurant was spotless and comfortable.  The only thing I could find worthy of a complaint was the annoying tiny fly.  
    Like I said in my first two sentences - this will be our family's go-to restaurant when we want authentic Mexican food.
