Met some friends here to try this place out, and we are glad we did. A little hole in the wall on the side of 231, you know immediately this is either a five star or one star, nothing in between! I arrived first and a small kid took me to a table, but he didn't know what was going on, I think he was the waitresses' child. When my friends arrived, we were immediately seated and one basket of chips and a very small bowl of salsa arrived. Really, 4 people??? After tasting the salsa, more bowls ordered. The salsa was a deep red and pureed finer than I prefer, but the taste made it all ok. I know this area isn't fond of heat, and this salsa proved it, but unlike other places, it had enough flavor that I didn't need to ask for extra heat!!!! A bowl of queso was ordered for the table, and it was ok. Resembled Rico's cheese sauce, white, no peppers or tomatoes visible, a can me thinks! A wide sampling of dishes were ordered so everyone could have a little of everything. I ordered a combo with a cheese enchilada and a soft chicken taco with beans and rice. Also ordered for table were the crawfish nachos and a crawfish burrito. The beans and rice, however standard, were delicious!!! Again, if prepackaged, they were tweaked enough to satisfy. The cheese enchilada seemed to be lacking one important element, cheese! I am not sure if this was due to melting(but no cheese on plate to prove this) or just lack of cheese, but the tortilla in the enchilada sauce was surprisingly good. Now to the taco......I do believe this was the best chicken taco I have ever eaten. It had the required shredded iceberg and cheddar cheese and token tomatoes on top, but the chicken!! It was large pieces of white meat, seasoned perfectly. With a dallop of the salsa, bells rang!! Good bells!!! A bite that rivals those fund out west!!! Bravo!! The crawfish nachos were a platter sized heaping dinner. You could actually see more crawfish than chips. This appeared to also be covered in some sort of liquid cheese, but got a yum review from everyone at the table. This portion could easily feed 2-3 people, as portion size is not an issue here. A veggie quesadilla looked to be bout 2 pounds of food, stuffed with onions and peppers, mushrooms, cheese, broccoli. The inside of this was so hot it could only mean one thing.....microwave. The entire order did not take 10 minutes, and there were about 5 tables ahead of us, and the speed of service again yells nuking! This place needs to distinguish the difference between nuking and cooking, and this could mean 5 stars immediately!!! The margaritas appeared to come from a machine, but got thumbs up! A lot of what goes on here is behind the swinging doors, and I do think there are a lot of cans and boxes involved, but again they have added their special touch and everything was tasty! This little place is a 30 minute drive for us, and one well worth it. Service was quick(a little too quick for actual cooking), very friendly and the food was really very good. This place hasn't been open that long, and they do have some issues to work through, but this is some of the best Mexican in this area, well worth a drive. It just happened that everyone at the table had either lived in Texas or surrounding areas, so we know or Mexican, and this place delivers it! Some locals may be disappointed that this food leans towards actual Mexican and not TexMex, but still worth the venture. Give this folks a try......good food, good service.....a rare find around here! read more
