Dinner spot for a group outing. No reservation and we were seated quickly. Service was good and the food came out quick. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. Sorry only got a picture of mine - steak fajita burrito. It was huge with tons of flavor. Definitely recommend!

Kids margaritas!

The servers are and service are great but the salsa is really spicy. I wish they offered a more mild version.

Excellent Mexican food. Their homemade salsa is the best in town. If you are into soup, the chicken tortilla soup is a must try.

Don't listen to Kayla's review. This place is amazing. Food came out within 5 minutes during dinner rush. Never going anywhere else

First time here, outdoor setting was very nice! Great place to sit outside and get a margarita. I…read moregot the mole enchilada and it was very good! Only negative I had was service was a bit slow. We had people get seated 20 min after us also get their ticket and leave before us while we sat and waited for someone to come close us out. Otherwise a great experience and servers were very nice.

This place totally looks like it used to be someone's house…read more The street corn used mayonesa--which added a healthy (and welcome) burst of lime flavor. Don't add any additional--otherwise the lime flavor will be overpowering. This was an exceptional dish--very generous amounts of cheese and Tajin seasoning as well. The chips were served very warm and they don't skimp on them. I thought the salsa was a tad thick, but that's probably just my preference for thinner salsa... Service was very good--staff checked in regularly--and they took the step of bringing my extra spoon out on a plate. I thought that was interesting as well. I don't know if it was a Monday special, but my tallboy of Pacifico was only $3. I didn't even know they had Pacifico tallboys--I thought this was an exceptional value. Some minor quibbles with my barria tacos--the verde salsa was heavy on the jalapeno--overpowering in fact. The shells themselves were griddled to perfection and there was a healthy amount of cheese in them. The broth was pretty greasy--not something I had experienced previously. The meat was tender, but not very flavorful. On an individual basis, if only one of these issues was present, this would have been a five. The cumulative (minor) issues knocks the overall review down to about a 4.25. The booths are very large and tall, but there's not much room for fat boys like myself to squeeze in.

It's right next to the truck stop, which is great for weary travelers who are yearning for some quality food in a nice atmosphere. The place is clean and the staff is friendly and accommodating. I really enjoyed the two meals that I had here. I had the Fish Taco plate my first visit and they were awesome. I especially liked the sauce that was provided on the side and the availability of flour or corn tortillas. Today, I had the Juevos Rancheros plate with black beans replacing the usual offering of refrigerator beans. The eggs, themselves, were smothered in a tasty red sauce. Flour tortillas were served on the side. This meal is so good that I had to force myself to not eat the last several bites of the meal as I was already more than full. Of course, there are the usual drink offerings here both with and without alcohol. I had iced tea both visits, so I cannot really comment to much more about it except to say that the tea is refreshing! In closing, I'm sure you'll enjoy your visit to this nice restaurant. Great for families, couples, and singles alike.

Very authentic but some ambiance and VERY clean restaurant. Many dishes look great. The menu is…read moreextensive. So I asked the waiter for a recommendation and the picture attached is a special they run or it is off menu but can be ordered on request. It's street taco perfection The cheese is like a Muenster or Creamy Havarti and the perfect amount in the vase of the taco shell. The beef is marinated and tender- a succulent sweet and spice-savory. Then they fry/crisp the shell and the cheese melts into the beef and the shell takes on a golden crispy outside. The broth served on the side for dipping as well as the additional sauces to pour on the tacos make the meal mind blowing. DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING ELSE! Guacamole also fresh and huge portions. Chips and salsa also on point. I will be back!

My trip this go around was not as pleasant and the food not as flavorful. In building your own my…read moretamale was okay, the rice was not edible because of the smell as it had gasoline or too close to the grill fumes, the red sauce was splattered over both entrees as if the chef was in a hurry with only a few customers in the restaurant-- yet the saving grace was the guacamole it was good even though the chips were hard. The server seemed to be in a haste which made for an uncomfortable environment. Perhaps quality control needs to do a reboot of their products to return back to the good quality food they are noted for serving.

Back again! Plenty of parking outside on an early afternoon…read more We stopped back for another company lunch. This time I checked out the lunch menu. I found what will probably be my go to going forward. We were seated close to the bar. This was also a little closer to the kitchen and were attended to right away. The chips and salsa hit the table right away and we ordered up the guacamole and the queso. Everyone is always really nice and helpful. TVs on over the bar and music plays. I ordered the Huevos con Chorizo this time. Two scrambled eggs with chorizo, Mexican sausage, served with rice and beans. I had them hold the beans. Food came fast again. I was doing the happy food dance my eggs were so good. Once again, an all around great experience. 3 times out of 3 so far.

My daughter told me about this place because she and her friends like to come for margaritas. I…read morelike new places so we decided to give it a shot. Plain and simple, I like this place. It's nothing fancy. Friendly and fast service. It had Mexican music playing on the speakers but it was more of a pop/rock Mexican, not the typical music you usually hear in establishments like this. I enjoyed it. Great Mexican beer on tap for what I thought was reasonable prices. Chips and salsa are good. You have to get the Hildago Molcajete. Huge, temperature hot, layers of different stuff, fantastic. Plenty of leftovers. True molcajete served in the stone bowl. No restaurant is cheap anymore. But this place is pretty reasonably priced, and I thought the food is as good as any other local Mexican restaurant
