A good friend recommended this restaurant to me while I was in town, so I decided to try it out…read more Upon entering, the decor was typical of a Mexican restaurant and was clean. I was immediately greeted and seated. I noticed it wasn't busy at all, and that could be due to the time (3 pm). My server, Karl, came to the table and greeted me. He was very polite and professional. I'm not used to being called "Sir" at these types of restaurants unless it's an upscale one, so that was different. He took my drink and food order after giving me time to lookover the menu. I ordered the Arroz Tejano, which consisted of chicken, shrimp, steak, grilled onions, and bell peppers on a bed of rice and cheese sauce. I substituted the steak with extra chicken. Meanwhile, he brought chips, salsa, and some other type of white sauce for them. The salsa, though good, was too spicy for my taste. Whatever the other sauce was, I did like it, though it had a bit of sweetness. Ultimately, I requested the cheese sauce, which came out a little runny and did not cling well to the chips, but it still tasted good. My food came out at a decent time, and not only did it smell good, but it also tasted better than I expected. The food was seasoned to perfection in my opinion and was reasonably priced. I recommend you give it a try, and I definitely will be back next time I'm in the area.

We were seated immediately in the one room dining room. Nothing fancy but it has a big menu. Basically all your favorite Mexican dishes. I ordered the enchiladas nortenas, which was delicious. It was cheese enchiladas smothered in pork, tomatoes, onions and peppers in a broth and accompanied by rice and guacamole (with lettuce). I'm here for it. It was messy and yummy. My dining companion got the beef quesadilla which he described as a bit messy too since the grease from the interior was bleeding through the tortilla. While service was friendly with chips and salsa, I found the kitchen to be unusually slow particularly for a Mexican restaurant. Each table got its food in a very measured way. So a quick meal it is not. But overall, that shouldn't dissuade you from going. We liked it after a long day of travel and a nice sit down meal overall. Nothing fancy but reasonable prices and good food is a hard combo to beat.

We randomly chose this place versus another Mexican restaurant in Roanoke Rapids 40 more minutes away. We were pleasantly surprised with the selection, service, and how fast our food was prepared and served hot. For starters they give you chips and salsa like most other Mexican restaurants. I'd rate the salsa 3/5 stars...more onion and cilantro please. However, they go the extra mile and give you queso with the chips and salsa. It's not your typical queso either, it's queso with creamed cheese in it giving it some extra flavor versus plain quesos. I got the lunch quesadilla fajitas with beef and it was tasty. Not really a pickup and eat type of meal especially after I piled on the guac, sour cream, and lettuce. It was crispy, hot and delicious. Perfect serving size for lunch. My girlfriend got the lunch fajitas. They came out sizzling hot in a small cast iron pan. Probably half the size of the dinner portion if I had to guess. Again, the perfect amount for lunch. She ate it with just the rice and beans to make it gluten-free as it was served with flour tortillas. The corn chips did not give her any problems either. All in all it was a fast stop in a small town. It was very inexpensive as well. When we were leaving a sweet old man in his Sunday best came over to look at our bikes and chat us up about the "Jap" bikes he used to ride back in the day. So not only was the staff friendly but the townspeople as well! Would definitely stop here again.

As a child living in New Mexico, so many of the good Mexican restaurants were small "dives," much like the Henderson Mexican Restaurant, that I was instantly reminded of 65 years ago... Let me tell you, this little restaurant did not disappoint us! Both their green and red salsas was unbelievably delicious, with the perfect amount of heat and flavor. My (vegetarian) cheese enchiladas, with rice and beans were some of the best I've had in years! Ellen ordered the tacos and honestly, I don't think I can remember a meal where we both ate everything off our plates, it was that good. Added to the delicious fare, that the family was friendly and courteous, the service was faultless and the restaurant and bathroom were very clean, and well, what's not to love?!?!
