Overpriced Mexican Food

by Justin2052

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.

• Pros: Taste
• Cons: Price, food presentation

Not a Cheap Eat

by TUEatsFood

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.

• Pros: Good salsa, friendly service
• Cons: Too expensive, small portions

Best Mexican Food Ever

by christygirl49

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!

• Pros: Food, Salsas, Atmosphere
• Cons: Parking isn't too bad but it could be a teeny bit better - yet it's manageable.

Excellent Mexican

by cs894

I started going to Senora's because I moved to West Chester and I wanted a close and good meixcan resturant. I was very pleased with Senora's - I found the service to be extremely good, everyone was nice and informative. There's never a long wait, and the food is made very quickly. Senora's has such a wide variety on their menu so it can please anyone, including younger children not apt to Mexican food. (It's a wonderful family resturant!) I recommend the Quesadillas or any of the burritos. It's no McDonalds - the food is definitely worth the price even though it might be a little pricier, its still affordable. I would definitely go to Senora's if you're looking for great and quick service, wonderful food of a wide variety, and a comfortable family atmosphere. This is definitely great mexican food.

The worst Mexican restaurant

by tessm

My husband and I just moved to the Philly area from the Southern US (where there are numerous Mexican restaurants that are excellent) and have been desperately searching for good Mexican food. This was definitely not it. We also went here based on the reviews and were very disappointed. The food was terrible and everything is extra. I mean a quesadilla that doesn't come with sour cream or guacamole? You can order it but it will cost you. They don't even give complimentary chips and salsa. And when you do order this stuff a la carte you get a tiny little ramekin sized portion. We ordered queso dip and it was barely enough to dip a few chips in. The food was a joke, my shrimp dinner was burnt. My husband's quesadilla was so thin and hardly had any meat in it. The service was mediocre and we couldn't even get margaritas. I wish someone would tell us where to get good sit down (with wait staff - not counter style) authentic Mexican food and margaritas in the suburbs of Philly.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Everything

one of best mexican restaurants in philly area

by jskirkman

some authentic choices such as mole poblano and tamales. this is no average philly mexican place with ground beef and american cheese. some nice appetizers. would recommend the tamales and some unique offerings (for philly) such as fish tacos and some beef dishes like carne asada. great and easy for a family!

• Pros: tasty food!, byob option, selection
• Cons: pay for chips & salsa

Mexican Food Done Right!!

by stougdude

Me and my friend dined in and we had an awesome experience. They make homemade salsa and there chips are crisp and fresh. The server was very polite, as he guided me through the menu. The food was delicious from the tamale appetizer to the mole poblano entree. For dessert, their homemade flan was out of this world. Next time, we are thinking about having my birthday party in their new dining area, which seats up to 60 people. Me and my friend had a fabulous time and we will be back again real soon.

• Pros: Inexpensive, Great Service, Family Atmosphere

Inexpensive Mexican B.Y.O.B. is a welcome alternative to mass-produced fast food.

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.

awesome

by joe10

Senora's is a great place to dine. The food is always fresh and made to order. And the fresh salsa's are the best that I have ever had. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful.

Senora's is a great place to have a party and it's BYOB too.! Thanks Senora's for being in Chester County.

Great Mex

by joejim

The food here is very good, very fresh, and quite authentic. Ingredients are excellent, and prices very fair. The owner is super-friendly and helpful (she judges the chili contest at our church each year). We're lucky to have such a great place in our area.

• Pros: Food, Value, Service
