A wonderful experience the food the company and the atmosphere was wonderful I really enjoyed my visit.

Very tasty mexican food especially the taco rico.There like mini burritos very good

Great atmosphere good bartender good owner it's all good in that place especially the ceviche great people

Shrimp quesadillas are the what to get and I hear they have karaoke Thursday and Friday nights I would recommend

The food is great! You can see them cooking it and it take little time for them to make.

Yummy Mexican food with great service and environment, with a cool bar area too! If you’re vegetarian or vegan there are options or accommodations that can be made.

Great place for a birthday party. Food came as quickly as possible and it was easy to go no host on the dinner ticket. Food is always great and so is the service.

The burittos are okay sometimes, the sopes uff so GOOD Everytime! && The nachos I always order with shrimp super delicious with good flavor 😋

Great food, great service. All in a teeny little town!

Updated Review: Even after moving out of the area I enjoy coming here when I come for visits. Food is still great and I like the vibe here. First Review: I always love coming to this place. The atmosphere is nice and the food is good. Not to mention the employees are very respectful and take care of their customers. Place is clean as well. They also have a separate bar area.

Ask for jenny as a bartender she’s super friendly. 🤪 Also, the tacos were good but the drinks were GREAT 🤣😆.

We love this place. Good food, pleasant service. Nice atmosphere.

Excellent meal. I had the shrimp cocktail as did my husband. Service is a bit slow, but the wait staff is very personable and helpful.

Great place to eat for authentic Mexican food. It gets busy between 12:00 to 12:45, so come about 11:30 for faster service. I've never came for dinner, but heard it's great!. Full bar is also there.

Everyone is family here. Fast, Friendly service.

Friendly place good chicken soup.

Waitresses and staff are really friendly and accommodating.☺

Food was good. Wish I wasn't driving. I wanted to try a margarita.

Good food, nice spot in our little town

The service is good and fast. Food was fresh.

Enjoyed the food and drinks will be back to try other choices. Service was great

Quiet place to enjoy a cold beer and 🌮!!

The food was good,and the server was very friendly,enjoyed the jukebox music

Good food and service the only complaint is the lighting sucks it's to dark here

Nice small town family restaurant in the old downtown. Food was solid. Beers cold. Our service was fantastic!

Food was good, especially the rice and beans. However, they didn't have any type of creamer for my coffee.

Four stars for overall 5 stars for the service those ladies hustle 3 stars for the food and 2 stars on the $$$. They are very busy Saturday night very lively atmosphere. I enjoyed my dining experience.

First time there I enjoyed it and am looking forward to go again. The service was friendly and the food was good.

Good, I had them make me a special Quesadilla. It was delicious. There salsa is good too. They definitely stepped it up today.

One of the few places in Newman to get a drink, other than that the food is just kinda OK.

Great customer service, the food was kind of bland though

Food is ok, service too slow sometimes

The food ended up being good but the service was really very very slow we had to ask to be waited on

The food was decent, and the people friendly, but the salsa had the taste of something that had come from a bottle or can.

Enchiladas were ok ,tortillas were hard,service was ok didn't come to check on us once, forgot to bring our salsa cup we asked for, but they are friendly there

I've been eating here for a few years and lately the food is not as good as it was in the past. I'm down to just go to Paterson to Rancho Fesco instead

Nickels and dimes! Fee for credit card, fee for more salsa, no refill I tortilla chips without buying more... You can pay 10.50 for a burrito! Service is good, wait staff attentive and friendly, big burritos.

Located in downtown Newman, Calif. Dined there because it was reviewed as 5 star. Basic old building, clean. Bar side had several big screen TVS with baseball on. Patrons quietly sipping beer, etc. Dining side spacious with 2 big screen TVs with Country music videos on. Thought country music was very out of place. At least it was not blaring. I like country but not in a Mexican place. Fajitas hot and sizzling. Very yummy. My husband's toastada salad plain and basic. We like to motorcycle to small towns and eat where the locals go. Not sure this was it. Choices were few for Newman.

The food is good, but its annoying they dont really answer the phone for pick up orders. Happened last time I was sick and again today. Ive been trying to call for the past hour and nothing. I KNOW they are open.

The waitress we had was very rud

Well this is about my 9th visit and it's gone from 5 stars to 2, and I'm considering making it a one. unfortunately our regular waitress was off tonight and my $42 .00 dinner was RUINED! The order was taken by the bartender; she and the cook, obviously were more interested in other things, They were sloppy,careless and obviously more interested in getting out of there ,as it was about 8:30,. My chilli rellanos were horrible! teensy tiny peppers and all egg. all 4 of them! My large quart size orders of rice and beans that I ordered were NOT the quarts I ordered but were placed in small side dishes not designed for this purpose. consequently the rice and beans already less than what we needed and ordered ,were mostly in the box by the time they got home. My chicken tacos were not the way I ordered the chicked cooked and the corn tortillas were suppose to be crispy. well they were soft and torn and luckily I had some in the fridge and was able to cook my own... The pico de gallo I had ordered 2 sides for our group the bartender told my aunt it would be better to order 1 large side.but what came was HARDLY that! What came was 1 small side! Not enough for our group.... one very tiny small side! after my aunt had a specific conversation with her about the pico! And ordered the large based on HER suggestion. So instead I got 1 of what I wanted 2 of. My dinner was ruined. We definitely wont be going back for a while and wont be referring anyone here. Definitely defeats the purpose of ordering dinner out. I'll definitely be checking the other local restaurants out. What a disappointment!!!! Luckily I hear there are a couple good Mexican food restaurants in town other than this one.

I don't know what's going on with this restaurant. It used to be really good as far as the service. I'm disabled and I would always order for delivery well I had Called them to place order for a delivery and the lady who answers the phone hung up on me and then when I called back I asked her if they were delivering now she proceeded to yell at me .

Ordered the nachos and they were not good at all.

Overcharged, didn't give me all my food, wouldn't fix it.

No meat on fajitas. Where's the beef??

Good atmosphere and employees and love the owners!

NOPE never ever going back here again. Tried the food three different visits, NOPE.Waitress/owner was very, very rude, when we complained about the bad food she said we were LIARS, WHAT??

Food was not that good n there prices are a little high they charge extra for everything. The service was not good I don't recommend it.

This is the worst place to because they use to cook not oil but with lard thats not even good for your health... Gross my family get sick... 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢.... The chicken was very, very dry .....I paid 71.26 for that food that was the worst food i have ever had... .

Not good. Casa Dea served soaked with green sauce Mushy in fact. Staff so in a hurry, to get you - gone. To seat more folks. Not going to return.

Worst place in all of Newman. Double check your tab before you pay. Ordered an Asada Burrito and meat was extremely dry and bland. No flavor at all. Ask the lady for lime and she said it’s $1 per SLICE of lime. Menu states the burrito comes with Guacamole and there was no guacamole in it. Lady said prices on everything have gone up so it’d be extra. Why list on the Ingredients and if it’s not going to come with it? I said no big deal and asked for Salsa for the burrito and lady said it’s an additional $2!! I mean, what place doesn’t give you salsa and lime for you tacos/burritos? They all do. Burrito was FULL OF RICE AND BARELY ANY MEAT. Save your time and money and go to Taqueria Carolina next to them, Dos aguas across the street, or Taqueria Manzanillo around the corner. Way Way better food and no hidden charges.

If anything goes wrong with your order they do not offer to fix it and they still charge you the full price even if they say that it was an issue on their side such as a menu that does not list meat or beef in a certain item. This kind of error has happened more than once where they make absolutely no offer to make the customer happy and still charge you full price even when it is their mistake. I guess only in a small town do businesses get away with this kind of policy

Got a burrito, tortilla wasn’t heat up at all, cold and made my burrito sloppy. Took two bites and couldn’t enjoy it, just to get sick an hour later and have it come back up, both myself and my grandmother. Do not eat here for your health. It’s a fast way to food poisoning.

It's confusing on where to go when you enter, we waited a bit before walking into the dinning section. No signage as to seat yourself or wait to be seated. Ordered a Long Island ice tea and it was basically water and tequila, no gin, no coke, no rum, no vodka no garnish. Had to walk down the street to The Old Corner Bar for a real drink. No bartender working the bar. The food tasted like fast food, and frozen. The nachos were okay, not great. Asked for no jalapeños and they still added them. Then took it off and brought it back but missed some. Our waitress was the only nice thing there , but she didn't know the menu. We were very disappointed. It's sad as it has potential, get a good bartender, decorate the back space with fire pits and stage for music, add succulent plants, lanterns and Mexican art. The back yard could be great. Add some booths to the interior, nicer art, sound baffles to absorb sound. The place is loud.

Ordered enchiladas from here and that will be my last time! Chicken was rubbery and tasted and looked old.. and the avocados were also old and were browning.. you can tell they have been having them out for a long time. Definitely don’t recommend this place at all.. staff will also have you just standing there instead of helping you. Was standing there for probably 10 minutes before someone decided to help me out when I picked up my order. Bad service and bad food.. definitely won’t be coming back.

We waited for over an hr for our food. The chips were burnt. They weren’t even that busy. The waitresses were friendly so it wasn’t the service that was the problem. The waitress apologized about forgetting one of our items because it was in the microwave and the kitchen forgot about it.
