Excellent food and service every time
I have been to Enrique’s about 15 times with friends. Every time the food and the service has been excellent. That’s why we go back!
Enrique’s has an extensive menu of Mexican dishes, so there is something for everyone. Prices are reasonable – expecially considering the quality of the food and the service. Combination platters run from about $ 7.00 to $ 14.00.
Enrique’s does not take reservations, but I have never waited more than 10 minutes to be seated. That was on a Saturday evening at 5 pm.
I have tried many different dishes and each one was excellent. The food is Mexican-American as in most Mexican restaurants here in the US, but it has more of an authentic Mexican component than most.
Highly recommended.

Friendly Service - Great Prices
I find myself going back to Wow Bento & Roll frequently because the food is of consistent quality and the prices are excellent. I have never been disappointed and I have been there many times. It is not top of the line sushi, but is a good value for the price.
I love Sushi, but it can be expensive. If you like to eat Sushi frequently and want a convenient, inexpensive place to stop, you have found it. For example, you can get two cut rolls like a California Roll and a Spicy Tuna Roll and a drink for about $ 8.50.
Wow Bento has a wide variety of Sushi, along with combo boxes and side orders. Combo boxes run from about $ 6.00 to $ 10.00 and contain various combinations such as teriyaki chicken, vegetables, and salad; or Shrimp tempura roll, teriyaki chicken, and sweet mashed potatoes. You get the idea.
Wow Bento is not fancy. It is in a storefront in a shopping plaza. There are 8 tables in the which occasionally fill up during the busiest times. They do have takeout. I have never waited more than 10 minutes.
Dishes I tried:
California Roll
Good California Rolls with Avocado.
Spicy Tuna Cut Roll
Good spicy tuna rolls. Nothing fancy, just good. Just the right amount of spice.
Combo Bento
The Combo Bento contains a shrimp Tempura cut roll, Teriyaki Chicken, and sweet mashed potatoes (with small pieces of fruit). Very tasty.

Consistently Good
I have been to this restaurant many times and continue to go back because the food is consistently good, the pricing is reasonable, ordering is easy, and the food is ready in a short time.
La Fogata has a wide selection of Mexican food. You can go there many times and still find something new to try. They also have a few American dishes like hamburgers and fries for those people who don’t enjoy Mexican food.
There is no table service at la Fogata. Similar to a fast-food restaurant you place your order at the cash register and pay in advance. When your food is ready your number is called. However the seating is more restaurant-like with traditional booths and tables. Mariachi music plays in the background. There is a salsa bar.
Pricing for most combination plates is around 7 or 8 dollars.
Dishes I tried:
Machaca burrito
A very tasty burrito with the standard side of rice and beans.
Soft Taco Combo
Excellent soft tacos
Chile Relleno
I really enjoyed the chile relleno’s at la Fogata.
