    Amazing cheese sauce My dad and mom have been here in forever and even the staff knows his story. The staff is so kind. I want raise to the lady at the Counter also I came in at 7:00 .She is so nice and very kind and knew my family forever! Sure I'm 9 years old, but she is a hard working and kind!!

    The food was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Chicken Monterey is one of my favorite dishes and they nailed it. They are friendly and generous with their portions and priced affordable

    I give this a 3.5/5. Pretty standard and exactly what you would expect from a Midwestern Mexican restaurant. We ordered takeout (covid): enchiladas rancheras, chicken burrito, carne asada tacos, burrito loco, and the nachos supreme. Came with rice, beans, chips, two different salsas (one green mild and one red mild). Enchiladas had corn tortillas while burritos and tacos had flour tortillas. Enchiladas hit the spot and were very tasty. Chicken burrito was a little dry and had too much cheese for our taste. The burrito loco was good with a generous amount of meat. Tacos were okay. Nachos were delicious but a little too soggy since we got takeout (we'll see if they can package the chips separately next time). Rice and beans were well seasoned and delicious.

    My friends and I's food was cold, steak was hard, rice was mushy, chips were stale. Our waiter was disrespectful and rude! Drinks were fine.

    Get the enchilada suiza!! So good! I asked for the cheese sauce to be added to the top as well as the usual green sauce. It was delicious.

    Interesting place. Definitely worth our stop passing through here. It's a barbecue smokehouse in…read moresomeone's actual house! They do a bustling business. The food is actually very good. They put together some really well crafted sandwiches that we felt to have been a reflection of the care of putting together each recipe. The fries were really good, nice, crispy, seasoned well and HOT! The Cole Slaw was excellent on the sandwiches, but as a stand alone side, not so great, just average. It's more than just casual. When we were there, and I assume this to be the usual, there were no non-disposable utensils or plates. The place is cramped, and only one table (2 two-seaters pushed together. Everything else were booths, and on the small side to accommodate the limited space no doubt. The kitchen is right at the tables, and the entire place is a bit (actually a lot) crowded. They do a bustling take out business though. That was evident. So I think that would be reflective of how good the food is. The reviewer who gave it one dollar sign to reflect price, failed us. Three of us, three sandwiches, two fries and one cole slaw, with three small fountain drinks, yet it was over $60. I cannot give my usual highly descriptive, wifey assisted review, but she's with me writing this. We've already left and I got no pictures! Just one of those days where you're in a rush.

It also has a few options for vegetarians. A kind of cramped place so it always has a crowd. The prices aren't that bad for the quality and service. A lack of fancier restaurants around here in a town that mostly has chains. It's more of a kind of classier sports bar and grill. The atmosphere is pretty good because it's one of the few happening places around here. A place where one can watch a game and get craft cocktails as well as well cooked burgers. There's also plenty of meal sized salads for healthier options. It's about $12 for a basic cocktail. They have a pretty okay amount of spirits including whiskeys. It's about $10 for an Impossible Burger. We got these and had to choose our toppings. Also these come with a side such as fries. Pretty good amount of food for an okay price. Among the other items on the menu is fish. They have plenty of burgers as well as Po Boy sandwiches. Also there's soups and plenty of shareable appetizers. They also have desserts such as pie. For sure it's one of the nicer restaurants in the area. It's closed Sundays and Mondays. There's lots of meaty options and some things for vegetarians.
