    Chorizo dip. Awesome!
    Brian L.

    The chorizo dip is incredible! The steak and shrimp hit the spot. I've had better shrimp and better steak, but for the price, I got exactly what I paid for. Actually, it was very good for the price. The steak was very juicy and I love the way it was marinated. The salsa was room temperature which I love. That means it's freshly made. I don't know how authentic this place actually is, but I'm guessing it's not really. It's great for what it is though. This used to be a BBQ place. I wonder if they still have the smoker. Also, I notice that they serve a full American breakfast all day every day.

    Food is incredible and great price! I'm glad they are not open on the weekends, they cater to the working class that need a breakfast, lunch and dinner place M-F which I appreciate; I can make my own food on the weekend. The staff is always friendly and when you need to pick up and get home they are quick!

    Free homemade salsa with your order is delicious. The burgers are amazing. A double will very easily feed two people. The fries are fresh hand cut and the bomb. Patty melt is the best I've had. Pancakes are amazing. Everything I have had here has been amazing. Great prices too.

    Great salsa and fajitas in small town Tennessee. Family located this place on our drive home from Memphis and it was a hit with everyone.

I have eaten at every Mexican restaurants in Fayetteville county TN and several in the Memphis area. The quality of food and drinks are next level. The staff is always friendly and efficient. The only thing that would make this place better is refreshing the interior.

The atmosphere simply wasn't inviting or comfortable. The food was equally disappointing. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, this isn't it. The dishes seemed to be an Americanized version of Mexican food, but even by that standard they missed the mark. The flavors lacked authenticity, freshness, and quality. Communication was also challenging because several of the servers had very limited English, making it difficult to ask questions or request anything beyond the basics. Overall, this restaurant needs significant improvements in cleanliness, maintenance, food quality, and service. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it and would not return. They over charge for everything and the staff seem happy and unaware of this the just follow what they told like drones. I won't be back this is my third time hoping things might get better with the limited choices in Tennessee. Maybe that is it no competition so the owners just don't care!! Fake Mexican no pictures because they are worth posting . 1 star is really to Much

Overall, I did enjoy the flavors across the board. The thin and crispy chips along side of the tasty salsa were great. I tried the chile relleno and enchilada combo and ordered a side taco. The relleno and enchilada were tasty. I did ask for a cheese enchilada, which came out with beef in it, and I did ask for a shredded beef taco which came out with ground beef instead. Not perfect, and I didn't say anything. Shortly into our meal our waitress came over and handed me a shredded beef taco. I really appreciated the fact that she caught that mistake and corrected it perfectly. I also ordered a shot of tequila with an ice cube, and it came out in a full glass of ice, lol. Not perfect, but I still took it down. Overall, I enjoyed my trip here and would stop in again. Side note, if they would make their own hard shells like they do here in the southwest, the shredded beef taco would have been top notch! I'm just not used to the pre-made shells.

I am a self proclaimed beer snob so having options other than the usual Miller Lite, Mich Ultra, or Lord forbid the fruity Bud Light is awesome. Their menu is pretty limited. One burger option, a handful of flatbreads or a pretzel, that's it. I'd like to see some wings or some burger options and even a salad or two for the tagalong wives or girlfriends would be nice. We ordered a couple of flatbread pizzas. They were a little thick for our tastes but VERY good nonetheless. We had a veggie and a sausage. A couple came in after us and ordered burgers and they looked great. Maybe next time. Service was okay. Dude seemed a little distracted but it might be because he was the only one left on a Sunday evening. I had a Batlast Red IPA which was also delicious! I'll be back but I'll probably have to talk my wife into it.

I've never met him before, but it felt like we'd been acquaintances for years! We stopped in on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. So the ambiance was subtle and relaxing. Some old blues tunes were playing through the sound system, which made the atmosphere just that much more inviting! The aroma wafting from the kitchen was antagonizing my, already, empty stomach....I couldn't wait for the burgers to hit the table! We watched others getting their food as we waited our turn and it was extremely enticing. From the flatbreads to burgers to the oversized pretzels on the menu! They seem to be covering the gambit of what a hungry appetite would be looking for. I went with the burger...and I did NOT choose poorly! WOW!!! They have live music as well...looks like that's just about every weekend!

The biggest issue was the service. The employee working the cash register came across as rude and unfriendly, as if customers were inconveniencing him. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt like we were being treated poorly, which put a damper on the entire visit. While the food tasted good, the portions were a bit skimpy on ingredients for the price. Considering how expensive everything was, I expected better value and a more positive customer experience. I know this restaurant has plenty of fans, but I found some of the employees to be arrogant and dismissive. The treatment we received felt rude and unprofessional, and it left a lasting negative impression. Overall, I am deeply disappointed. Good food can only make up for so much, and the poor service overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable meal. I would not return based on the way we were treated. It's very clean but very old stuff and to much on display with old plants everywhere.
