Open today for season! Best margaritas in town! Great food. Clean and excellent service. Tortillas feather light. Nice seating in atrium, light and no wind, perfect.

Hubby and I shared the Chile Rellenos And he had an extra taco. Received a free beer and margarita. Good salsa and chips. But a knock off Coach purse near there for $25. Los Algodones Mexico is a fun place to go.

Food was absolutely delicious and the staff was very kind and welcoming. We also loved being able to be in a quiet place tucked away from the street where the street vendors wouldn’t come bother us to try to sell stuff to us while we were eating. We have had that happen in other restaurants in Los Algedones and it makes it not as pleasant. We loved this place and will definitely be back.

Have been going there for 20 years. Our RV group made it our go to place when crossing the border. Marcella is the owner. Delightful, polite lady with a lovely family. Food great. My personal favorite are the shrimp tacos. Just there in January. Marcella, Peggy and Charlie say hi.

This restaurant is tucked away off the street but the people were amazing and so helpful. We asked for salsa to take home and they supplied a quart of it they kept our glasses full and the food was hit and amazing

I eat here on every trip to Los Algodonas. I had breakfast here a couple of weeks ago and the over-easy eggs were hotter than ANY eggs I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Rice and beans and tortillas are so delish! Today I walked in and the chips and salsa were already on their way to my table before I even sat down. Great food for lunch as well. All hot. All people who work here are very kind. You won’t be disappointed, I promise. See you soon, mi amigos!

The beans were very good. I had crispy tacos. 2 beef & 1 chicken. The beef were good. Hubby had beef quesadillas and he liked them. Chips & salsa. Chips not fresh and ok. The salsa was too spicy. Compared to Vegas the price was very good.

Drinks were great. We had breaded shrimp. Looked great, 6 very big shrimp! To much breading and they were rubbery. Dine in.

We ordered chicken fajitas. The meat was very grisly. The fajitas consisted of chicken cooked with carrots and onions, and a side of rice. No tortillas or anything else. Service was good. Atmosphere was fine.

Ordene una papa de horniada sin carne, me dieron pure de papa en aluminio -$10 El tamal estaba acedo, sabia horrible, la carne asada seca y dura. Que lastima que hacen comida tan mala! Y cara! I ordered a basic baked potato with no meat, they brought me mashed potatoes on a potato shaped aluminum foil boat. $10..The tamale tasted expired, sour, the chile relleno tasted old as well, as if they freeze & reheat their food. The carne asada was hard and dry. Total disappointment, especially with the high prices. There’s better options around!
