This is an awesome place! The dishes you order are large quantities! The drinks are huge and full of liquor! The prices are excellent for the amount you get! We ordered one medium drink one large (huge) and the four of us were full! The bill only 67! We will be eating here more often!

One of the best Mexican restaurants you can go to, and the best restaurant overall in Harlan. Everything is priced well, and the portions are huge. You won't be leaving hungry. Haven't had anything that didn't taste good.

This is the best place to eat in town. If you are new to eating here, try the Pollo Harlan or Steak with fries. You can't go wrong with either and their chef knows how to cook an amazing steak. Also, you can get steak in your Pollo Harlan, too!

Everything about this place is amazing. The service is a step above any other Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. I'm a world of understaffing they have plenty and they're all working hard to serve you. We get seated, drinks, orders, drink refills very fast. The food has been outstanding. I would recommend the Molcajete or Dinner Special. The margs and beer come in 3 sizes and are good. We're in town for 5 days and we've been here 2 times because we fell in love with our first visit. We'll be back every time we visit Harlan
