Ok so on to the food itself. The chips & salsa we were brought before the meal was great. The salsa had a nice little kick to it and was flavorful. My gorditas were unimpressive. The shell itself was cooked nicely but the chicken was bland and unseasoned. I had to add salsa to every bite. It wasn't terrible but there was nothing special about it. I guess being from a large city, I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to Mexican food. This place may be good for the locals but I wasn't impressed unfortunately.

Again a generous portion of steak served atop a wonderful array of fresh greens and vegetables. We finished with the Red Velvet cake which tasted homemade. We will be back.

They had a variety of sized, small, med and large. I went with med! A good CFS, has steak all the way to the end of the crust #1. Crispy fried #2, juicy #3 and a bit of spice in every bite! They met all the marks exceptfor the bite of spice!!!! The CFS was served hot off the skillet. The other items were hot as well. It was large, I can't imagine what the large was like. The vegetables were not a hit. The green beans were unseasoned, and tasted like a can variety, although they had ham in them. One thing I have learned about restaurants is that they cater to their crowd, it looked like many locals passing through. Perhaps less spice was the flavor! Overall food was good and plentiful. The west texas ambiance was delightful. Certianly worth a stop if you are passing through Ozona, TX. I recommend putting a few spices in pocket during you dine !

Not sure how long this place has been around but barely saw the sign outside. Hope they are able to to stick around awhile and cater to travelers passing through.

Absolutely no customer service, no greeting, no smile. We all have bad days but you could tell this was just who she is... Maybe make her in charge of cleaning things and not dealing with the customers? (the same person could care less when the couple next to me received their order backwards. The woman couldn't eat spicy foods and her burger was covered with spicy items. She took it up to the woman taking orders and the woman refused to do anything. Wow.) The restrooms, wood sides along booths, pickle table and the condiments/tables need a serious cleaning - there is grossness abounding. I didn't see one person busing or cleaning in the restaurant - and it shows! Gross. The fries could've been great if they were crispy but they were all super soggy. FRY FAIL! Onions: you can leave them thick for the onion rings but if you're putting a slice of onion on my burger you better slice it thin. Nobody needs a huge half inch thick slice of onion in the middle of a burger. PRO: The burger was cooked to perfection. At least they got that right, which is why I gave them three stars - nothing else I experienced in this restaurant deserved any stars. The owner/manager are lazy at best cause they obviously don't care about the customer experience.

Though small and quiet, this little grill puts out really good food. My daughter kept it simple with a dry cheeseburger. It comes with a side of fries that are cooked fresh, but maybe needed some time to breathe or dash a little bit of salt. The burger was cooked really well though. Noah enjoyed his carne asada tacos. Liz ordered the Potosino nachos, which were like a loaded nachos. Loaded means it came with beans, grill d tomato and jalapeno, thin slices of skirt steak, and cheese. It looked good, and I grabbed a few at the begining. I really enjoyed my Potosino plate. It was the same thing slices of skirt steak, grilled onion, jalapeno, and tomato that was on the nachos, but my plate came with Spanish and refried beans. (Same as Noah's kid taco plate). So, why the 3? It's a small place, and the dining area can be overwhelmed by a rush. Though the folks that knew were just getting food to go. There's about 7 tables/booths for 4 each, and it got crowded right after we sat down and ordered. Hey, if I can't get my coffee refilled without asking, well... Overall, I did enjoy the food. The place was clean and comfortable. It was the lack of speedy service was on no way a deal killer, but when you're on the EP to SA road trip time management can matter.
