If you are in the mood for some good ol' comforting diner food, you've found the place. Plus it's open at 7:00 AM every day if you are an early bird. Oddly, it's filled with the former owner's collection of signed photo's and item's which belonged to famous people, mostly country music stars and a couple of athletes.

My husband and i stopped by Friday to get my taquitos , some guacamole and some tamales. As we drove away i realized they forgot to add our guacamole. We promptly turned around and i ran inside real quick to grab it. The cashier/waitress insisted they had given it to me and I politely explained that they definitely did not. She immediately had an attitude, stormed off into the kitchen, came back and sat down by the register and didn't say another word to me. The other cashier/waitress witnessed this behavior and politely apologized (she was busy with another customer as the other girl continued to sit in the chair and ignore me). Once the other waitress/cashier was done helping the other customer she went back into the kitchen to retrieve my guacamole while the rude one continued to sit in the chair and ignore me. Again , the food is great , but i think i'll pass next trip through. Service/attitude like that isn't worth the stop.

Everything tasted as if it was freshly prepared in a close friend's home. The food was spiced well, the cheese on the bean was melted, and portions were great. The service was comforting too. The inside feels homey, bright colors, and cool from the strong AC. That is a bonus in the desert heat. The only downside is that chips and salsa were not included. I would have loved to try some other salsas with my chili colorado plate. Their salsa verde on the chimichanga plate was fantastic.

For dessert, we tried a few flavors of churro's, plain caramel and a Bavarian cream. They bring out chips and salsa ahead (think it's $3 for unlimited).
