We love this little place. The service is always fast and friendly and everything we've tried is cooked perfectly and tastes delicious.

Moving in to the area and was super excited to try this little hidden gem and of course I turned to Yelp. Let me start by saying the Salsa is sooooo good. Fresh and delicious. My sister said it tasted just like mine. The chips were perfect and the bean dip served with the chips and salsa was tasty. We agree with the other reviews about the queso. It's good but is missing something. We ordered the enchiladas and they were served quick and we really enjoyed them. The service is amazing. Highly recommend.

We found this place on Yelp, and I wasn't even looking for Tex-Mex. However, almost every review of this hidden gem was 5 stars! Out in the middle of nowhere, an old Grandy's where we used to stop for the restroom on our trips into FW. When we pulled up, the windows to the back of the gas station was cracked. So, this place was completely sketch by all stretches of the imagination in my book. Man, was I wrong! Once we braved to go inside, the nicest lady named Abby greeted us and took excellent care of us! We were seated, given the menus. Warm chips with salsa and the yummiest black bean dip was brought out! When I requested if they had a spicy salsa, Abby smiled widely, and scurried off! It was delicious... not an up front heat, but a grilled onion forward salsa, with the nicest warming notes on the back end... on a cold day (38 degrees) it was a pleasant surprise! Off came the jacket! We added queso the chips, which was nice, but nothing to write home about. The the entree's. The wife had La Gran Adela, which was two deep fried flautas, with chicken, cheese, jalapeno and bacon bits. The filling had been "pulsed" but not "puree'd", so everything came together in sort of a pate'... the filling was out of this world, and you got a taste of everything you were after in every bite. The wife admitted, she was taken back because she was expecting dry stringy chicken, but that's not what she got. I had the La Gloria, three chicken enchiladas with mole, verde (tomatillo), and sour cream sauces. I'm not the world's biggest fan of mole', because throwing chocolate chips into bean dip does not make mole' in my opinion. I would not have ordered it on it's own, but I'm glad I did. There was a smoky barbeque hint to hit, but at least it wasn't melted chocolate chips.... I really enjoyed it a LOT! If I would have read the reviews, I might've tried to the Abby's shrimp (since Abby WAS our waitress!!), and I WILL be back for the ultimate test: the fajitas! So far, so good... 5 STARS Simple food, prepared great, with happy staff... It's a winning combination!

Small restaurant connected to a Shell gas station. Complimentary chips, salsa, and black beans. Food was good and affordable. Service was quick and attentive. Usually not a place I would've stopped at, but it was good and the kids really enjoyed it.

The remnants of my lunch. So good
Theresa C.

Excellent lunch. I stumbled upon it due to yelp and I am so glad I did. It was a Grandys years ago, so I never think to stop anywhere around here but the reviews are completely on point. I got the combination fajitas and there was a lot of meat and flavor at the vegetables were cooked just right. the spicy sauce was very nice as were the Charro beans. Service was good. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. Good value for the money.

Waiter has a sense of humor

Mole in "Nowhere Texas?" Hell yea there is. GREAT Mole in fact. Big plus that this place is BYOB. The service is great and damn the enchilada's are good. Go now.

Stopped by today to get a to go order. I ordered 4 of the carnitas tacos. Great tasting but a little greasy. I will come back and try something else next time. The tacos were accompanied with some spicy green sauce which was pretty good. This place is new but I get the feeling it will be good. They need a little time.

Seafood soup is a little pricey, but it is well worth it. It is unique and one of the best Mexican dishes that I have had.

2.5 stars. This food is okay. It's not great. It's not terrible. It's one of those places people…read moreeat at because it's the only choice in the area. In all my visits, I've only had one notably off experience when our server seemed to forget our table, though to be fair, they were juggling a large party. We decided to give it another shot, and honestly, I still stand by my solid 2.5 star rating, even accounting for that hiccup. The interior is exactly what you'd expect from a Mexican/Tex-Mex place...topped off with a dramatic, pointy chandelier in the center of the dining room. I personally refuse to sit beneath it as it triggers my anxiety, but it certainly makes a statement.

Once again, a disappointing experience at the Haslet location. As usual, my 2 crispy beef tacos,…read morewhich were very tasty, came with maybe 1 teaspoon of shredded cheddar. To make the meal whole, I had to pay $1.99 for a "side" of cheese. One would think the order would have an adequate amount of everything. Secondly, the shrimp in the Camarones Monterrey were extremely overdone to the point that my wife only ate half of it. Our dogs didn't seem to mind though! It was a take-out order, so we were unable to notify anyone at the time. I've emailed the location, so we'll see what happens. It's usually an "average" at best experience there.
