This restaurant was such a breath of fresh air. It has a real small-town feel--one of those places…read morewhere everyone seems to know everyone, and it's honestly adorable. It reminded me of the kind of restaurants I grew up with as a kid in a small town. Just a simple, quaint little spot on the side of the freeway. We've been there twice now, and the food is great. We pass it all the time on the way to Coushatta in Kinder, and now we're kicking ourselves for not stopping in sooner. The vibe, the people, the food--everything just feels right. The whole place feels like it's straight out of Mayberry (for the younger folks, ask someone older and they'll tell you). My wife and I love to people-watch, and I swear we saw the pastor chatting with parishioners, the mayor and his wife shaking hands with folks, neighbors catching up on the latest gossip, and the PTA crew laughing in the corner. It was all just too perfect. The food is cooked the way it used to be in the old days, and it really brings back memories. Don't get me wrong--the restaurant itself is a normal, modern stand-alone building--but the feel inside, with the vibe from the waitresses, the customers, and the food, just exudes this wonderful old-time country charm. Allyssa was our waitress the last two times we went, and she's absolutely adorable. She's got the sweetest country twang and a natural charm that makes you feel right at home. She's very attentive, too. We had the fried pickles, the catfish dinner, and the fried shrimp. The iced tea is always fresh. They close at 2 on Sundays, so get there early for the freshest food. I'm no food critic, so I can't break down all the flavors for you--but I can tell you everything was good, and we left with big smiles on our faces. We'll definitely be back.

The food was good, not the best Mexican food I have had, but not bad. Good for the price. The restaurant is small, maybe 15 total tables and was packed.

We had two complimentary baskets of fresh crispy chips and tasty salsa. The server was friendly and efficient. The food was really good.

Also, as someone else posted, the beans were lighter in color but they were still good. Keep in mind, this is actual Mexican food, not Tex-Mex.
