Perfectly cooked fresh cut fries. Delicious!  A huge portion for less than the local fast food place charges for frozen.

One word. Ok, two. FRENCH FRIES!! The real thing. Cut fresh and fried perfectly. That gets them the 5 stars from me! You can get them here. And they're a great deal. Just $1.75 per huge serving. We went on "taco tuesday" night at around 7:00. Beef and chicken tacos are $1.00 and steak and fajita tacos are $2.00 when you get a drink. We got out of there for $16 and change for 3 people, not including taxes or tip. Got the chicken, beef, and steak tacos, chips and salsa, and fries. The meat in all of the tacos had a great flavor. Nice portions given that they were on sale (some places would skimp). The chips and salsa... YUM! Chips were crispy and still warm from the fryer. Fresh-made salsa had good flavor layering. I could have had a glass of that by itself and been happy. Great service. Clean place. Well worth the stop if you're in the area. I have a new great place to get take out.

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!

Chorizo dip. Awesome!

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.

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.

This place is great. In my opinion it's possibly the best Mexican food in western Tennessee hands…read moredown. 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.

I was very disappointed with this restaurant. The building feels run down and poorly maintained,…read moreand the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. 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

So, my wife and I were looking for something close and are tired of the usual El Nopal or Olympic…read moreSteak & Pizza on a Sunday. This is my type of beer place, for sure. 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.

Let's talk about the service first and foremost. This is some of the most personable service I've…read moreexperienced in a while. The guy who waited on us was like chatting with an old friend! 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!
