    Best Mexican food in Midland!
    Paul G.

    Best food in West TX! Ordered the Monterey and it was amazing! I come here every time I'm in Midland and it never disappoints

    Special for the day.

    Amazing and affordable. It tastes every bit as good as it looks. Service was exceptional!!!!

    Really good green enchiladas!
    Shelby P.

    Delicious food! Amazing spicy salsa. We wanted breakfast but showed up a little too late. Will definitely go back.

    Actual Beef Fajita skirt meat
    Ivan L.

    Good fajitas they actually use fajita skirt meat it's really good. The chicken fajitas are good as well. The salsa is hot but you can't stop eating it. The queso was average. The portions of beef fajita were good but the chicken not so much. Still I got full. A bit stingy on the guac portion as most places are. There is hardly any parking.

    Chips and salsa
    Caroline S.

    Awesome chips and salsa. Skip the queso. I had the tacos al pastor and they were awesome--definitely go with those over the tacos al carbon.

    Salsa chiloso!

    Food is very tasty and if you like hot sauce you'll love this dish enchiladas con red sauce.

    This is one of the authentic Mexican places in Midland. Good tacos and beans are great! The portions are just the right amount.

    This is the epitome of a hole in the wall restaurant. It's not much to look like on the outside, but the food is great. Best tacos in town.

    Friendly Service Established in 1983 & their experience…read moreshows in the quality of their food. I've been in Midland all week and with the exception of Monday (because they're closed on Mondays), I have had dinner to go from here every night. I absolutely never do this but I ordered the same exact thing every night. The steak fajitas with à la carte cheese enchilada with red sauce. The steak fajitas are so good with that perfect char, I spent hours on Thursday trying to convince myself to eat at a different restaurant thinking something was wrong with me for how much I was craving the exact same thing and ended up just wasting gas because I ended up going back and getting the same thing all over again.

    My husband loves this spot so while we were near he had to take us to try them out…read more Typically he comes during the week for work and they have a lunch buffet which I'm sure is what they're best at because I was not fully impressed at all with our dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant is humongous and beautifully decorated with vibrant colors. Service was okay but didn't feel very welcoming. They have complimentary chips and salsa which he bragged about but our visit the salsa was overly salty, unfortunately. My chicken meal was dry so I started eating off the chicken fajitas my son ordered and it was better. I'm guessing the cheese enchiladas my husband gets were great since he devoured his plate. I had high hopes especially when we drove 2 hours out of our way to try them but we may have visited on a bad day. I know my husband will keep coming so I'll definitely have to try them again possibly during the lunch buffet and hopefully I'll love them like he does.
