No recent reviews, but we had heard it was a good lunch spot. Seems like they have fallen on hard times, few patrons, food bland to mediocre. Good service, but not one of the three of us were impressed with our food. We will not be back More

There are lots of Mexican reataurants in the area, but this is the only one we've foiund where you can have a pleasant, quiet, white tablecloth meal. The classical guitar music adds to the relaxing atmosphere, never intrfering with conversation, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Don't pass up their specialty - chicken pipian -- chunks of chicken breast... More

My partner and I have been to this restaurant numerous times over the past year and a half. Each time we visited, we have found the food to be topnotch.

Chips are... More

The below items were the determining factors in our selection of Memo's (not necessarily in order). Friendly Service (by owner and daughter) Price Ambience Clean (very) Portions... More
