We Opened as "Club Sinaloa" In 1960 As A dance club and bar. Our parents, Adolfo & Mary Pena, never dreamed It would turn Into A family tradition lasting over 50 years. As it was, patrons stayed late and ate tacos and burritos before leaving which encouraged us to expand our kitchen, dining room and menu.

We’ve always used the freshest produce and the highest quality of meats to prepare our famous meals . come on in and see our New place, meet some friends or get some great take-out.

    We had the carnitas which were delicious. Great flavor across the plate and the margaritas were very good as well. Always enjoy it at Sinaloa.

    We’ve come here numerous times and we love it! It gets loud on the weekends, but we never wait long to be sat. Good spot for dates, friends, family or just to get out for any reason.

    Sat in their large room on the side and it was very difficult to hear eachother and to get service for drinks, order food, even the check! We had to ask 3 times for the check. The food was good but I wouldn't go back unless it was a weekday early afternoon.

    We were a party of five. They sat us in the large open room. There were several large groups celebrating birthdays, etc. Very, very loud, could not hear people talking at our table. Next time, I'm going to request we sit in the front entrance area near the bar. Much more quiet there. Service was good, waiter attentive. Food was very good, it was "fresh."

    Made reservations for my mothers 82nd birthday and was advised when we arrived the only available seating for a party of 6 was outside. Even though they had outdoor heaters; it was cold. Not what we were expecting with reservations.

    Kind of shocked that they were out of sour cream when we asked for it and yet when the enchiladas arrived there was white sauce that looked a lot like sour cream. Very odd indeed. Margaritas though are fantastic !

    The waitress was soo pushy. She rushed us repeatedly. Her primary goal seem to be how to get us in and out as fast as possible, although half the tables were open.

    We've been several times. This time all of us complained about the same thing: the food was so salty it was nearly inedible. We had enchiladas, Chile Colorado, burritos, etc. Maybe it was a bad sauce.

    Every part of my combination except the chicken taco was very very spicy. Had not had that before. It would be helpful on the menu is something indicated level of heat. Love to try new things on the menu even after going to Sinaloa for many years. Love the bigger dining room for more quiet.. nice that the bar area which is very noisy but fun for groups or happy hour is separate. Everything very high quality.

    My daughter and I stopped by for a quick Mexican meal to let traffic subside after a day at the hospital We were seated immediately. Then I ordered a don Julio on the rocks. What arrived? A margarita okay. Sent it back. What arrived next was a tremendously watered down shot. Not what I ordered. Then we ordered nachos with vegetarian beans. The waitress made a point to clarify the type of beans. What arrived? Nachos with chicken! Sent that back. After all was sorted the nachos were fine; a bit salty but fine. I would not visit this restaurant again. Might have been an off night. They were busy but it was only 6:45 on a Friday night. Management should be able to anticipate volume of customers and staff accordingly if that is what the issue was

    We really wanted Sinaloa to be good. Service was awful. Sat over 20 mins with just our waters. Food was OK. The prices went up significantly and didn't match the quality IMO our bill was $60 for the 3 of us. Tacos & burritos. No drinks (only our waters, lol) No alcohol. Live and learn.

    The food was good ol' home cooked Mexican and the portions were generous. However, it was Valentine's Day and the restaurant had done nothing special to make the atmosphere cozier or intimate. Bright lights, several TVs on the bar and table areas on, and I had to practically yell at the bartender to let her know we were there as we weren't acknowledged by anyone, even when only 5 tables were full. The Margarita recommended by the waitress - who was lovely - was not good yet we were charged for it. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to have it replaced with a better one. Better for every dining and not for special occasions.
