But this place is seriously so delicious. I had the pleasure of having the entire restaurant to myself it was nice and cool, good in escaping that Texas heat. I ordered a breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, potatoes, onions, cheese and refried beans. The plate came out with a little bed of lettuce, a tomato slice, and a slice of avocado. I am usually super picky about my veggies as restaurants but again, wow, the flavor of my burrito, the salsa, and the fresh avocado and tomato to die for. My boyfriend and I are new to the area and I can't wait to show him this place we will be regulars. Delicious. Authentic. Hidden Gem with a wonderful waitstaff.

This place is fantastic! It feels like a trip back in time to when Tex-Mex was affordable and…read moreportions were generous. The value here is truly refreshing. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant is spotlessly clean, making it extremely family-friendly. While the margarita is just average--not bad, but strong enough --the food more than makes up for it. The quesadillas are amazing at just $14 for eight pieces. Many places only offer four triangles at the same price or more, but not here. They're packed with cheese, and the steak and chicken are tender and juicy. We also tried the Dirty Donkey, a hefty beef burrito smothered in their delicious chili gravy, served with beans and rice, and a Crunchy taco for only $13. Plus, I had the two-taco combo plate, which included an enchilada (I chose cheese) and a tamale, and beans and rice all covered in chili gravy. I opted for a crunchy beef taco and a soft chicken taco. That was a great value, with a ton of food for around $14. I can't wait to return the next time I'm in the area!

This used to be my favorite since I arrived in this area of five years ago. It had a tacky fun…read moreatmosphere just something cute about it that I loved and the food was incredible. You definitely did not leave hungry usually you left with a doggy bag. The last time I was there, it was still pretty good pretty much on par with what I was familiar with. Tonight, spur of the moment we decided to go there for dinner. It's been a while because I have not been well. We walked in. We seated right away. It was pretty empty. I noticed they made a few changes. I'm not sure why because it was lacking the fun personality. It used to have even if it was tacky like I said it was cute. Just something about it. It appears that they have removed a lot of seating. Maybe they're just not doing the business. The staff was personable although I had an issue with something with them. I was really disappointed and insulted although it sounds petty I just don't understand why it was going on. They kept coming over waiting on my dinner partner, constantly filling his glass of water asking if you wanted anything each time they did this, they had their back to me and never turned around to me to offer a refill in my glass I mean I was completely ignored like I wasn't there not once did they ask me if I needed anything? When we first sat down of course they ask if you want something to drink, and we weren't ready except for a glass of water. They brought the usual basket of chips, but this time we had a partial basket of what looked like the bottom of a bag of chips all crumbled nothing to really dip into the dip. They were so puny. The last time and all the other time I had ever been there you had a basket overflowing with large warm chips you swore just came out of the oven. Two partially fill bowls, one of salsa, one of cheese that look like they came out of a grocery store. It was pathetic. No side plates to put silverware, and you only got a fork wrapped in a single paper napkin. Now this wasn't lunch this was for dinner service Dinner came again such puny portions come on refried beans are not that expensive. I got a small puddle of those. My burrito was OK actually, it tasted great. I have no problem with the way. The food tasted. It was just the cheap way. They did everything. The avocado was probably a teaspoon worth with lettuce mixed in with it. I guess to make it look like more than it was and a spoonful of sour cream. It looked so cheap. There were big spaces between each type of food no rice and even when they served the tortillas I don't know if there was one or two rolled up in a small napkin no basket the way they used to steam them. Does steaming them cost a lot of money. I understand. Businesses are having a hard time but if you have to do this, maybe you shouldn't be doing it at all because it's not like your prices are cheap. I don't know what's going on in there but it's not good. I don't think I'm gonna be going back anymore. I would just as soon pick up some frozen Mexican or make it. I almost felt like we got leftovers turned into things like my burrito. It used to be shredded and have salsa and everything in it inside the burrito tonight. It was like they just stuffed partially cut up chicken breast not much flavor. I am so disappointed. It's funny how you can like and not like the same place I just don't like the way they served what they did. I didn't like being treated rudely although we had some kind smiling stuff also but the way I was treated three different times just trying to get water was horrible. Finally, my dinner partner tapped her on the arm and pointed at my glass. They were lucky I wasn't paying or tipping. There's plenty of Mexican restaurants. I would suggest you go elsewhere unless this place either gets new management or does something I was in the hospitality business. I know how it goes. I know it can be hard, but I also know the things you don't do and they were all done tonight all the wrong things. I would be embarrassed to serve plates that looked like these tonight and even setting the table wasn't really set. I have had a fancier picnic table. It was like serving us with an afterthought. Sorry if we were bothering you there we had one server she was a doll. Sadly, someone like her is gonna suffer because of what I saw tonight. Even the plate and bowls look like the cheap 50 Cent ones you buy at Walmart now what did they do with all their good stuff they used to have setting a table is not hard even a simple paper place mat and they had nothing.

Excellent breakfast tacos and warm red salsa. I had two of the Chorizo, Egg and Bean tacos. Everything came out piping hot, you knew it was fresh because it took a little while for my order to arrive. The flour and corn tortillas are made in house and complete the meal. Authentic food and drinks. Excellent atmosphere and very clean. read more

BLUF: the food is pretty good, but the service was lackluster…read more A large group of S1 on a Sunday evening. We'd made a reservation but our table wasn't ready and I had to assemble it while we waited. The chips and sauce so that they give you at the table are tasty. Let's face it is hard to mess that up. I could run through all the things we ordered but I will say that in general it was a combination of fajitas tortillas and enchiladas. Everyone really enjoyed their food. One downside was the service. Everyone was very friendly but it seemed like everyone helping us was brand new and trying to figure things out as they went. I think they were doing the best they could. Also, all our sides and related dishes didn't come out with the main entree. So for example someone who got fajitas would get the sizzling hot fajita platter but then not get the tortilla and fixings until about 5 minutes later. All in all it was generally a standard Mexican restaurant. I would go back if I was in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip to go to it. One plus is that the price is a very reasonable compared to many other places
