    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

    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.

    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.

    Servers are kind and attentive and the food was great! Cute little family owned restaurant near home. Definitely recommend. No liquor so BYOB.

    Happy customer

    100% favorite place. I order something new every time and it never disappoints. Seriously. Margaritas are also delicious. They give you chips with black bean dip and salsa when you sit down and my daughter LOVES the bean dip. It is delicious but I can only get one bite before she smashes them down lol. Honestly pricing is very affordable for the amount of good food, great service, adorable environment, and everything in a timely manner. I have seen it get PACKED during rush but I typically come when it's slow so that my daughter doesn't get overwhelmed and we can enjoy a peaceful lunch. My baby loves the staff that always greet her very warmly, she loves the attention they give her and I love seeing her smile every time they interact. I always tip as much as I can with any cash I have on me as it's the least I can do in return considering the pure joy I get to see on my daughter every time we visit is priceless. Also the margaritas are delicious

    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.

    A tiny little place sort of jammed between the convenience store and the vape shop…read more Great for to go orders! A couple of tables in here but would not be good for a group of more than four. My food was excellent at a good price! I will definitely return soon!

    I admit that I've been lazy this year, so far, so this is my first review of the year. Overall, I…read morehave mixed feelings about this place. It is an easily accessible building in Azle, off 730, but despite that it's not easy to see unless looking for it, specifically, since the sign isn't easy to read until you stop and it just looks like a basic strip mall with a Vape store next door, etc. The reason for the mixed reviews is that I paid $10 for 3 tacos and charro beans. The tacos were very small for that price, with not much meat. On the other hand, the meat was very well seasoned and was really good. The charro beans was amazing as well, with large pieces of bacon and the beans. My only issue with the charro beans was that it was very mild with no kick at all, even though it had jalapenos cooked into it. One thing that was interesting and not common at taquerias.. While the cilantro and raw onions were in plastic portion cups, it also had grilled onions, a grilled jalapeno, and it was grilled pineapple which was really good and tasted very good putting the pineapple on each taco. Now to my favorite part.. The Hot sauce. I love spicy food and it's very much a craving and the green sauce was very mild, but the red had good flavor and had a nice little kick to it. So good flavor, despite very small portions. A little expensive just for 4 tacos and a small cup of charro beans, so use your own judgement and try this place if you like street tacos and decide for yourself how it is in comparison to other places

    I can't say enough good things about this group. They are honest, hardworking, and genuinely care…read moreabout helping others. It's rare to find people who combine professionalism with such a personal touch. On top of that, the food is outstanding, the jalapeño poppers, brisket enchiladas, and chili rancheros are especially delicious. I would confidently recommend them to anyone.

    We saw this place and a relatively full parking lot so gave it a try. Definitely below average food…read moreand the service was lacking. It is a neat place inside but that doesn't overcome the shortcomings. I had Mexican food many times in the last couple days so I opted for the jalapeño peach pork chop. It was honestly tougher than leather- I really needed a sawsall to cut it. The flavor was fine. I knew I was in trouble when it arrived with a couple Libby's peaches fresh from the can sitting on the pork chop. My sides were tasteless mashed potatoes and steamed, mushy veggies. Chips and salsa, average. Queso with flavorless ground beef, average. My son had the birria tacos which were good. Not great by any stretch- it wasn't a traditional recipe and didn't have the traditional Oaxaca cheese. They used cheddar or another orange cheese. He said "good", I will call them "average": He ate all of the rice so it must have been decent. I didn't try a margarita but the ones I saw looked pretty typical for such a place big glass and probably average. I wouldn't eat here again. $50 for 2, no alcohol and I had water. We did get an order of Queso. There has to be better Mexican places than this nearby.
