    Pork chop breakfast

    I have to say this is the place to stop and enjoy some wholesome delicious Mexican food!! Great cooks and genuinely friendly staff. For sure will only stop here on my way to Fort Worth on my weekly runs! Thank you El Tapatio for the yummy food!!

    If you are looking for a quite place for lunch this is not the place but if you are looking for amazing fresh piping hot and great tasting Mexican food look no further. I had passed through this intersection hundreds of times and never noticed this restaurant until today when I stopped for fuel and seen the building now I'm the kind of guy that loves little out of the way mom and pop places to eat, not real big on the chain corporate restaurants. As I headed into the parking lot I can see that there are 2 places to eat but I was set on the Mexican food and it was amazing but it is a one man show out front and he was busy as there are 6 tables that translates into 24 chairs so to say it's small is safe so sit back and enjoy

    We were headed back to Houston today and happen to come across this Spot! Don't be fooled by how it looks! Chips salsa was amazing! I had lemonade, tortilla soup, barbacoa taco w rice and beans! I mean some of the best I have ever had! We also had mixed fajita plate( absolutely flavoring). Great portions and flavor! We can't wait to head back to Fort Worth so we can eat at this spot again!

    Awesome authentic mexican, if you blink you'll miss this place. Had a couple of shredded chicken tacos, and the salsa is perfect. Go!

    A cute little mural too.

    Pretty much the best breakfast around! I always think it's worth driving the 11 miles from Marlin when I'm in town to come on out. Also has affordable Mexican drinks (hot chats, etc) and a nice, cool place to sit. They're open every day (no dinner Sundays) so no excuse to not check it out.

    Don't let the curb appeal of this tiny place scare you.  Great food at a great price in the middle of no where.

    First time here passing by. Fantastic. Chicken fajitas were moist and juicy, with plenty of peppers…read moreand onions. The guacamole and pico were spit on. I love jalapeños and I failed to ask for an extra grilled jalapeño, so that's on me. The service was friendly and attentive. And nice ambience. Wasn't crowded. Of course Monday night at 7:30pm. I would do it again.

    I was hesitant to stop here at first, given the not-so-great reviews. But since we were on the road…read moreand this was the only option besides fast food, we decided to give it a try. The place is large, inviting, and very clean--almost too clean, like they'd just scrubbed everything down with Pine-Sol and Febreze. Drinks came out right away, and the tea was excellent. It did sit empty a few times, but that wasn't a huge issue. Service was on the slower side, and our server came across a bit stuck-up, which took away from the experience. Food arrived hot and in a timely manner. We ordered the #37 Carib tacos, which were very tasty. The charro beans were a pleasant surprise--flavorful and delicious. Queso was just okay, chips were disappointing, and while the red sauce was good, the green sauce was all heat with little flavor. The biggest downside was waiting about 25 minutes for the check. Eventually, we had to go up to the front before someone brought the bill. Overall, I'd say the food was good, and with a few improvements in service and sides, this place could be really great.

    Amazing service, GORGEOUS place, delicious food and fair prices. What more could you ask for?…read more I walked in here after being rudely kicked out of Bangkok Royal for having 7 people. I came here and asked if they had room for 7 and had any vegetarian items. The two people at the front were very helpful when I was kind of frazzled, and seemed enthusiastic that they could accommodate us. I came back with my entire party and we had a great time! Our server was wonderful and the food was great. I would absolutely come here again and recommend it to anyone in Waco. I really appreciated how nice they were after the people in the Thai place next door made me feel like I was found something wrong just for being there. They really turned our night around. Come to this place!!

    This restaurant was recommended to us so we wanted to try it. We were seated immediately. The chips…read morewere very good and the sauce was warm. Since it's the Christmas's season I chose the wonderland martini which was sweet like I like my cocktails. The lunch menu was great with good prices. My chimichanga was delicious. It came with rice, beans, guacamole, and a salad. The guacamole was very flavorful. Our server seemed stressed and perhaps had too many tables. We didn't have silverware, asked for it and finally got our own from another set table. Such a cute place, lovely atmosphere with great decorations.
