We decided to stop by for breakfast this morning. And I am so glad that we did! The mother and…read moredaughter running the place are so friendly and kind! It's a quaint little building on the main road that goes through town. This building has housed many different restaurants in my time. This one is by far my favorite! With the food I had today, I am hopeful that they will do well and stay open! We had the chorizo breakfast burrito and a Barbacoa breakfast burrito. Both were delicious! But the Barbacoa was chef's kiss! It is my favorite Mexican meat so perhaps I am biased. But I do consider myself a bit of a Barbacoa connoisseur. I have had plenty that I did not like. This one, however, was delicious enough to rave about! The homemade tortillas and salsas (quite a few to pick from) were super fresh and flavorful! My favorites were the fire-roasted salsa and the green jalapeño salsa. But all were superb! I cannot wait to try the rest of the menu! We'll definitely be back!

Their salsa has a nice garlic- heat finish but their chips can we stale at times (just tell them and they will bring you more). Wish the owners would visit MiCocina's in Dallas area and see how they do their nachos, create their sunset sauce, mamma's tacos and chicken cohongos. Would like to see more variations on the menu. The wait staff are always nice and most of the time very attentive. This is where we get our Tex-Mex fix.

Chicken lacked flavor. Vegetables were definitely from a frozen bag...needed some more love. Peyt had the tres salsas fajita burrito - it was alright. Beef was tender. Sauces were good. Chicken quesadilla was standard. Rice and beans were average. Would go back.

They do ask if it's cash are charge so maybe their trying to force everybody to carry cash and not use their bank debit card. It would be nice to know what your price is when you order something from the menu an what your actually going to pay for it at the register. (would just like to know what my service charge was for)

My husband got the nachos and they were just like the kind you get at the movie theater or a kids' football game. He did say the cheese sauce tasted very fresh. I got chicken tacos on flour tortillas. The meat was fresh and cooked well. The tortilla was grilled a tad - nice touch. But the meat was so salty. I like salt! I want my meat to have some flavor - but super over salted to the point it was barely edible. Onions were cooked really well.

I was unsure of this place due to ratings but love to eat at family run local establishments…read more Everything about this was amazing. The waitstaff was great and gave us ample time. The prices on meals and specials were unbelievable. Our food was at the very top of our best Mexican food ever and closely resembled our all time favorite in taste. We both had top shelf margaritas for $7.99. They were really good too. We plan to eat here more times before we leave the area. The prices here make it comparable to buying things to cook at home. We also liked it that the tables were far enough apart that the noise level was low. This is a hidden gem.
