No bottomless chips and salsa and Tejano music and fun vibes and... *sigh* Well, dammit, we'd waited long enough. We were road tripping and craving Mexican. Nothing on Yelp but google reviews were good, so here we go. Wifey looked at the menu online and then I ordered in person, on site. I was the only customer on site when I ordered, and I ain't gonna lie - it sure was tempted to dine in. But we still played it safe and got it to go. The person who took my order was masked up and super nice. Wifey had the chimichanga and loved it. Beans and rice were good. Chips were great. Salsa was a little smoky / roasty and delicious. I got street tacos: 2 barbacoa and 1 chicken. The barbacoa was PERFECT - just right, just what I wanted. The chicken was okay... pretty dry. The chicken is the only reason this wasn't a 5-star review. If we stop through Buffalo again, I'll get 3 barbacoa street tacos and be in heaven. Murals inside were colorful and fun. Wish we could have dined in! Hopefully some day.

One of my favorite parts was honestly the homemade chips and the salsa- the salsa has a little kick to it but it's the perfect amount. My husband had the carne guisada and enjoyed it- the kids had the cheese enchiladas and devoured it- they devoured the queso too- queso was commented on as the best queso- it was decent, nothing special to me as a huge queso lover. It's simply a melted jalepeno cheese they get and the bowl cost around $11. I got one of the dinner meals, i'm forgetting the name- it was plenty big- the chicken enchilada was the best part so probably would just get that next time. Excellent customer service- the owner is so sweet! bummed they ran out of their coconut pies or we totally would have tried that!

Best Mexican food in Limestone County! I strongly recommend the Anita's platter for two. Tons of steaming hot shrimp, ribs, and fajitas. Everything had great flavor and you can tell they really put some love in their food. Even the rice and beans are top notch! read more
