This was a new restaurant I discovered in this town.

The vegetarian-friendly menu item I had was a chile relleno, with some cheese inside of it (or was it stuffed with spinach and/or other vegetables?).

I had the chicken chimichanga and hubby & grandson had the combos where they picked 4. They loved the cheese & chicken enchiladas. As always, the chips, salsa, and green sauce always hit!! Previous review: Melissa did an excellent job today! She was very friendly & checked on us a lot. She should probably be a trainer for other waitresses. Brandon brought all our chips & hot sauce. He was very nice.

Went to late lunch on Thursday with three other women. The server definitely had a bad attitude…read more She was on the phone, apparently personal, and ignored for 5 to 10 minutes. When she finally waited on us she made it obvious that she was disinterested and did not want to serve us. I suspected it was because we were women and she thought maybe we were not going to tip well. Then she waited on some men and was very friendly to them. Whatever th r case there was no excuse for the way were treated. We still left a good tip. The food was great!! Will return but hope we do not get the server with a "TUDE".

Worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. I ordered the fajitas and it came out with plain white rice,…read morea bowl of beans and weenies. The skillet wasn't hot so the fajitas were cold quickly.

The fajitas were horrible no seasoning on them at all. My friend got the enchilada's and it had canned cheese on top of them ugh. The guacamole was dark green and tasted old.

I got the chimichanga with chili con queso, and half fajita steak and half chicken and the stuffed it, I couldn't eat it all it was delicious. My wife had the enchiladas with chilli con queso on top and she said they were very good. My kid had the chicken strips and fries the only complaint is that they were a little pricey for a kids menu for 2 strips which was 9 dollars without a drink. Now the rice and beans they were cooked perfectly the rice wasn't over cooked or under it was perfect as well as the beans, the hot sauce was excellent it had that little spice I want when eating salsa, the chips where warm and thin they were a great addition to our meals, down fall is for chips and salsa it's 10 bucks, that's if you take out. Now the service, everyone in the place were polite and very attentive to their customers. I give them 4.6 stars but can't give .6 so 5 it is. When coming through the small town of Eustace give this small town place a try. Sorry no pics my phone died.

The only salsa was very mild, the "hot" version of the sirloin tips did not impress my son who was hoping for a lot of heat. A lot of ground beef vs shredded. The service is top notch, friendly, quick, eager to help. We didn't run low on water, salsa or chips. The food came out quickly and all of the orders were accurate. The prices amazing. About $100 for 8 people including a couple of appetizers not much alcohol. The portions are very generous although the tamales seemed to be smaller than what I'm used to. Go for the larger plate if you're hungry. It was a little crowded however we enjoyed it quite a lot. I don't think you'll find many places in the Malakoff area that will give you as good a bang for your buck as you will get here. You're not likely to want to drive from the more authentic options in Dallas to get to this place. We wouldn't hesitate to return if we end up out on the lake again. We phoned ahead for a reservation. There were 8 of us and I think that would be important for any large group. For 2-4, I think you would not have had a long wait at 6pm on a Sunday. You would have a longer wait around 7 without a reservation.

Lunch w mi madre. Tilio's in Athens…read more Sometimes you just need a lunch buffet. The chicken alfredo tastes like a fall evening after school. The fried fish is excellent. The perfect amount of cornmeal breading. Feels lighter than it should. Delightful. Also, some damn good greens and green beans.

Note to self, find out when they're having meatloaf on the buffet. It's a beautiful day, East Texas.
