⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jacob Willis
Food was 10/10 had Eliza tacos and my wife had the half steak fingers. Not only did we leave stuffed but there was so much my wife was able to talk half her food home for lunch tomarrow. Chips and salsa came with mild and hot salsa witch was cool for us as I like spicy and she prefers mild we finished our meal with two nice golden sopapillas excellent way to finish off!!! Service was great and when we asked for recommendations they did not disappoint!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Zachary Atchison
When we ordered our food the waiter was kind enough to accommodate us on our funny (special) requests. He made our pancakes with the funniest faces. Side note, the cleaning supplies are Myer's all natural.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Everett M
Jimenez Rancho Grande what can I say, amidst its array of offerings, Sebastian's Steak Fingers stand out as a hidden gem. Opting for the half order left me pleasantly surprised; the portion was generous, leaving me hesitant to imagine the abundance in a full order.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Richard Henthorne
Amazing food, great prices and nice people. The mexican food (tried enchiladas, quesadillas etc). is great and the couple american food items, from steak fingers to cheeseburners are amazing. You wont find a better meal, especially for the money ! Best of all, breakfast on the weekends is awesome!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Dustin Garner
Ordered 2 dinners with chips and salsa and 2 drinks. The total was right around $55. The food is pretty good. Very generous portion. One thing that was disappointing is that the steak fingers didn't come with gravy. I don't know if it should have but I figured for the price it wouldn't be a stretch to include it. It does seem a little pricey but again I understand the portions were pretty generous. Biggest complaint was no gravy.
