The Whole Enchilada: Reviews & Ratings
Amazing High Quality Mexican Food! Love the Chilli Releno Burrito. Shredded Chicken Tacos. Generous Portions and Great Service. Five Stars *****
First time we ate here food was excellent and plenty of it. I had the chili Verde plate my son had the 3 item combo
I have been going here for 35 years. I love the fish tacos, guacamole with chips and iced tea. My wife love their virgin margaritas. Anything you get her eill be very good.
Love it, love it, love it. The salsa is fantastic, the Mama Mia plate is my favorite (two small chimichangas with pico de gallo and guac), rice, beans....delicious. Service has always been great and prices are very reasonable. I love taking home a half dozen of their cheese tamales too! If I had to say anything negative, I wish they'd fix the torn booth benches, kind of uncomfortable in shorts. Other than that, all good!!!
This was one of my favorite places to eat when I lived in Placentia. I have fond memories spent with my family enjoying the delicious food, and yet 30 years later, it's still amazing. The food was delicious, maybe better than I remembered, and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend trying this place.
This is good Mexican food adjusted for American tastes. My kids like it a LOT. Cheese enchiladas or quesadillas are their favorite. We used to go in Diamond Bar before it closed and the food here is exactly the same. Yummy chips and salsa.
Been 30 years since last visit due to not being in the area but the food was as good as I remembered...glad we went...
Really enjoyed the combo plate, lots of food, great salsa, and terrific margarita.
