The Scene
Family-owned and operated, this Mexican strip mall eatery in downtown West Chester draws local families and college students alike. Sombreros and Mexican art adorn the bright yellow walls, while festive piñatas dangle from the ceiling. Service is brisk
The Food
Everything is simple and fresh. Start with the Cabo nachos--handmade tortilla chips loaded with black beans, Monterey jack and cheddar cheeses, and a choice of shredded steak, roast pork, chicken or spicy chorizo sausage. Quesadilla con camarones is filled with baby shrimp and cheeses, topped with cilantro and scallions and then grilled. The "dueling tacos" feature a white corn tortilla stuffed with shredded sirloin steak and a blue corn tortilla filled with savory shredded chicken breast -- both crowned with tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and mild green chiles. If room permits for a homemade dessert, go for the fruit chimis--a fried tortilla stuffed with your choice of apple, peach, strawberry or blueberry pie filling, then rolled in sugar.

I have been going to Senora's at least twice a year for about 12 years. Each time I go I am angered by the fact that their prices go up and their portions get smaller. While this is to be expected over the course of 12 years, Senora's prices have become exorbitant and neither the delivery of the food, nor the atmosphere justify their pricing. At this point, I will overlook them for other West Chester venues. Some food is served to you in plastic or styrofoam and nothing is complimentary. Extra salsa (which you need because the portions are meager) costs. If you do want to go, the chicken wings are amazing (though you will only get 6 or 7 for 7.50 which is outrageous I think). I also enjoy the tacos de carne supreme. Don't miss out on the cucumber salsa either - it is a good balance for already spicy dishes and is delicious. If the prices, portions, or even atmosphere were better, this restaurant would get 4 stars from me, but as it stands - 3.

I took my friend here based on the good reviews on this site but I should have listened to the person who gave it a bad rating: the service was good, the food was OK, the prices were alarming. Chips & salsa were not free but it was pretty expensive for the fake cheese and the small amount of salsa they gave (start at $5). My friend asked for more salsa and they didn't inform her that its extra. Since we are college students with a limited budget, we split a shrimp quesadilla (dinner style for $13) and we were disappointed with the size; it was pretty thin and didn't contain much. The prices were pretty expensive for how much you got. The food was good but nothing amazing; didn't make up for the high price. The staff was nice enough and the salsa was fresh, but I don't think I'll be back here for another meal because of the price. Oh and apparently they don't give coin change since our bill was $20.71 and we paid with $25 and got $4 back.

I don't live close to West Chester - in fact, I live pretty far away. I live about 30 minutes away and I still manage to go to Senora's at least 3 times a week because I love it. I've never had such fresh and excellent mexican food for such a reasonable price. You can't beat the service either. They're low-staffed, but it's a small and quaint resturant so it's more personal. The staff have all worked there for years and they really know what they are talking about, so they're very hepful. The cooks are all from Mexico, so you can always count on an authentic meal. They have everything - quesadillas, salsas, chips, Mexican sodas and nectars, nachos, wings, chicken fingers, burritos, unique mexican desserts, etc. I especially like all their different salsas because they are unique and homemade. Who's ever heard of pineapple or cucumber? If you're not into that though, they have a wonderful Pico de Gallo and some other additional salsas that you can't find anywhere else. Plus, the salsas are so fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend going here for a unique spin on Mexican food. (But they keep it real and authentic at the same time!) Go Senora's!
