La Veranda

I've come to this place for many years, the service is a miss or hit, sometimes I get really good attentive servers and sometimes I get really bad ones. This past weekend I went with a group of 15 friends to celebrate my bday, among that group was my brother who is a Special Forces Para Rescue Man in the US Air Force and came home for a week. Our party consumed well more than $400 in food and drinks. The restaurant was rather empty for most of the night. They had karaoke night and the usual Karaoke host German was not there, there was another lady, our group was there for karaoke and to celebrate, we put in a couple of songs to sing, I had only sang two songs and there was not that many people that night and when one of my friends was singing their song I asked the karaoke host lady for the second microphone and she refused to give me the microphone and went on to tell me to leave my friend sing alone and that I had already sang too many songs! I was so upset at her rudeness, I could not believe what she was saying! She then proceeded to visit our table which was all the way in the back to tell us to quiet down that we couldn't be singing loud because the only table that was occupied towards the entrance of the restaurant could hear how loud we were, she basically told my party to shut up! At this point they proceeded to bring one of their so called "security" and place her next to our table to keep an "eye" on us which made many of my guests uncomfortable and like we were some sorts of criminals! We decided to leave this place and the "security" followed us to the outside parking lot and watched to make sure we left! I am very insulted and disappointed at this restaurant, when German is there hosting the Karaoke I don't even have to put my name down to sing, he automatically just brings me the microphone as ask me to sing. I felt very harassed and embarrassed with all of my guest which for most was their first time. I plan on going back and placing a formal complaint with the owner, they really need to do something about their staff and train them with better customer service. Just because this restaurant is a hole in the wall it doesn't mean that only ghetto people go there. I hope German doesn't take more days off or at least he should put someone that has better people skills hosting the Karaoke. Very disappointed!

OMG!!! Best Mexican food in Colton!!!
Been living here 3 years now and love to try different spots... first off they're ain't no bad food Colton, just bad service sometimes lol My roomate suggested we try this place out, and I'm glad we did! We got Enchiladas, flautas and the steak fajitas... best food I've ever tasted and I'm a big boy lol so I know my food! Chips and salsa was fire so we were already excited. The portions are huge, very authentic tasting food like my abuelita makes
We already said this our new favorite spot. Can't wait to try there drinks next time. Highly recommend this place! Huge shoutout to the cook and staff so nice, oh and cozy place too!

Omg never been here and surprised to find such an amazing place.
The strawberry margarita that I got was the best drink I've ever had at a restaurant.
Service was great as well.
Timing was perfect, don't mind waiting as long as food is good and def was not disappointed.
Environment was great. Went in on Sunday at 1pm.

I've been coming here for a couple of years & the food slaps. It's for sure a little pricey, but the quality of the food is what always shuts me up. I absolutely love the red sauce they use for the wet burritos. I think it might be the same one for the enchiladas, but it's just a great sauce ( none of that watered-down sauce). The beans they make are also goooood, and the service is always great. I do think sometimes the food takes a bit to come out, but when it finally hits the table, all my complaints fly out the door. Overall, I think this place has solid mexican food. Sometimes, the bill is a little high, but for the big meal, it's worth every penny

Food is good I go because the waitress's are great you can call me a regular know, well until I move but before I leave ima hit this place up a lot more times

We came here after my daughter's graduation from Concorde career college , and the food was AMAZING!!! Quality food at affordable prices. I had a shrimp empanada which was soooo good !!
I also had the cielo mar y Tierra molcajete which was the best tasting molcajete I ever had !! It's definitely for 2 or 3 people or take it home for the next day :) comes with rice and beans and tortillas echas a mano . I will be back for sure ! The staff is super friendly thank you !

First Time Here And It Was So Delicious! I Had The Hard Shell Tacos Plate And It Did Not Disappoint! The Food Came Out Quick And Tasted Very Fresh. I Would Highly Recommend This Place. 10/10 In My Book!! Can't Wait To Go Back.

My family that came from out of country loves Mexican food and we decided to try out this place that we found. They had lots of parking, location was kind of questionable but as we went inside the restaurant I felt like we were in a whole different country. The music was so festive and their interior was great all of their servers were so nice! They had us seated served the complimentary salsa and chips, which were fire, kinda spicy but still fire. The only thing it took awhile for the food to get ready BUT when the food came out, the serving portions were huge. And when I took the first bite of my fajita fundidas, I could not stop taking more bites. It was so good! One order probably served about 3 people, I feel full for days. Definitely would come back here.
Absolutely love this place!

We really enjoyed our food. This is a seafood place and I'm not a seafood guy so I was pleased that the chicken and steak tacos were also delicious. Decent service, drinks, and prices. Can get kind of loud in the evenings but very chill for and early dinner.

The food was good. I had the chicken and it wasn't dry. The service was great, patient with my crazy 5 year old. The tortillas were fresh and delicious. It's not the fastest service but the food was worth it.

First Time Back here in over a decade. We enjoyed our meal immensely and my Mom back home loved the left over rice and chicken. The shrimp empenadas were to die for. Lastly their salsa is different has an fresh pieces of mint we think. Thank you.
