We had a great lunch experience. Nachos were plentiful with well seasoned tender steak bits, guacamole, sour cream, fresh tomatoes and refried beans. Refrieds were a little heavy but very tasty. The other dish was a loco burrito which was very good and plentiful. Top shelf margs on the rocks were in large glasses and very good. We will be stopping again sometime. read more

Ordered two orders of tapatios with a side of rice and beans and limes. They didn't put the sides or limes. This is the second time they did this. Won't be going back. read more

We've been on a cross Texas road trip and this was hands-down the best Tex-Mex food anywhere we stopped. Service was great. Restaurant was clean. The people in Sonora are really friendly. read more

The basic plate took a long time to arrive and I was never given any utensils to eat it with. I asked for them and the server went off to grab them. Then she returned to the dining area, delivered some drinks to the adjacent table and left again. Then after a few more minutes she returned, took the order from the table beside me (which had silverware) and left again! So I tossed a twenty on the table and left. I know I shouldn't have left payment, but I have standards. read more

Short version; if you have $10 and think Taco Bell is Mexican food BUT serves a decent $6.99 margarita in a to go cup .... this is the place for you. Long version: This restaurant has been around for a long time (as advertised and according to waitstaff) and has been severely impacted by the pandemic. Labor (a dishwasher for example) is reducing the ambiance of a brick and mortar restaurant to a food truck experience. This place was cheap. Plastic utensils, plastic cup margaritas, paper plates Styrofoam bowls. read more

So for starts I was in a very good mood when I got there and I left feeling disappointed. I walked in and I rate that the scenery was pretty good,but everything pretty much downhill when I sat down. The service was absolutely dreadful. I was expecting a more pleasant experience since I'm from Dallas tx. However I was wrong, the server took forever to take our order,to give us our drinks, and it was just super frustrating. The food was cold and just not that good. My friend is allergic to guacamole and our server not only put it on the side but also put in the his burger. That is unacceptable!! The mood was all right but I wouldn't choose that as my go to. read more

I was so excited! I asked a local for a recommendation and she said that it really depends on who is cooking that night. I should have listened to what she didn't say. I had enchiladas and tacos. Very dry ground beef. read more

Great customer service. Super friendly staff. Great Mexican food and beer was properly dressed!

Like other previous reviews, food has no flavor and is expensive. $25 for two plantes that went straight to trash. Not recommended at all.

Not good. Stopped in town for the night. Ordered a cocktail. It was 8 bucks for nothing. Not even a shot! The tacos, I'm pretty sure they used a baby spoon to put meat in it because there was none. It was a store bought gross taco shell. Beans were out of a can. Service took forever (25 min for 3 tacos) and when it did come out it came out on a wheel cart with like 4 other tables food. The cook needs to make a ticket at a time. Not make 4 tables and make a table of 1 (like I was) wait! Had to beg for sour cream. I should had walked out. But it was late and I was tired. I won't be returning. Find something else or keep driving. read more

Delicious food, they were able to accommodate and make exactly what I was craving. Friendly atmosphere. Would come back again and again!

Needs new cooks. extremely salty food. overpowering cumin seasoned. Salsa is not up to par, seemed out of a jar. Would not stop again nor would it be recommended to anyone. honestly a total wreck. read more

Queso tasted like velveeta and ro*tel dip. The fajita meat a bit well done. The fries too soggy to eat. But, my grandson said it best, he has had better and he has had worse. read more

This is not a Mexican restaurant, maybe Tex-Mex, but I'm no judge of that. One tip - not a bottle of salsa in sight. I ordered chicken enchiladas, which consisted of chicken in a taco-sized flour tortilla. That was it. No sauce whatsoever. To boot, I got sick soon after, with very bad gastric symptoms the next day, tapering off the following day. read more

Great fajitas and combo plates. Not a fancy place but the food is great. Freshly made tortillas are great.

This place has a good variety of choices. Their burgers and fries are de-lish as is their guiso. Good ambiance and service. Definitely stop here if you want a good meal read more

Ate here 2-23-24 when visiting from out of town. If you want real Mexican food do not waste your money here. We had enchiladas and taco salad. Both were very bland with no flavot. The rice taste like rice a roni. Refried beans had whole beans mixed in. The taco salad had whole beans instead of refried beans. The hot sauce was super thick , pretty sure it was made with catsup or tomatoe sauce. The bathroom was clean. read more

On a road trip! Heading east. The service was friendly and quick. The food was brought out quickly and it was hot. Chicken fried steak was smothered in vegetables. The Chile rellenos hot cheesy and full. Delicious. Highly recommend read more

What a secret little gem in a town full of non-authentic food! My husband and I stopped in for a quick bite on our 14-hour drive from AZ to TX because it was literally the only thing around that was not Subway (we already had way too much of this). The service was fairly quick and my husband got a fajita, the guy gave him some chips (maybe homemade, really good and salsa). We ran over to the gas station next door and when I came back to the car we had to go back to pick up the second fajita that my husband ordered when I was at the gas station! haha The second one was a bit spicier than the first one, but he powered through and we will definitely stop here on our next trip through! read more

Decided to stop here on our way to Austin. I don't really like writing bad reviews but this place needs to know how bad their food tastes. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas #6 with extra green sauce, when they brought them to the table there was no extra sauce and were dried from being heated in the microwave. Sauce was nasty! I've had better sauce from HEB, it was watered down with no flavor at all. Rice was okay and beans tasted like canned beans. I ordered two waters for my kids and they charge for the water which is very surprising since they don't charge adult waters.My wife ordered the beef fajitas and were overcooked. It had no seasoning no taste at all. I would rather get something from the store across the highway. I will never stop here ever again. I have to give them 1star but this places deserves 0. read more

Cute place. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Clean place and they had the jams running! The missing star is from the food. Over cooked rice and almost stale taco shells. I'm sure they would have fixed that but I inhaled my food like a hump back whale to krill! read more

Driving back to San Antonio, we stopped here for a bit to eat...seemingly this was the only place open for inside dining so we stopped to take a break and eat. Had moved reviews because of all the mixed reviews on yelp, however, our experience here was Terrific. Friendly staff who worked together to handle the lunch crowd. Food came out in a timely manner and was stupid fresh & hot! The chicken tenders where plump, tender & juicy! (that's what she said!) The chicken fried steak was flavored and crispy with creamy gravy to complement it. Fries where fresh fries and the green chicken enchiladas was super flavorful. The rice was homemade & delicious. With COVID happening this place was on it! read more

The food was as expected- ground beef tacos flour tortillas and beans and rice. Service was prompt. The restaurant was neat and clean. We ate mid afternoon so it was not busy. read more

Drove from Austin to Phoenix for Christmas in 2 days. Decided to take 3 going back. Made a pit stop in Sonora for the night and this place was next door to hotel. Read the reviews for this place and was skeptical going in. However it was walking distance and I was tired so here I am. WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE! Service is friendly, beer is reasonably priced, margaritas are served small, large and FISHBOWL!! Ordered fajitas for one. They came in a short amount of time and were delish!! Ignore the bad reviews and for sure give it a shot.. read more

Great place, great service. Had the Friday fish fry special and it was almost more than I could eat and very good. Wife had one of the Mexican specialties and raved about it. We went back on Saturday and it was jut as good. read more

We had overnight stay near this place on our I10 road trip. The cheeseburger meal was delicious. Best burger I've had in a very long time. The young man that was our server was very attentive and prompt. read more

The worst Mexican food I've even eaten. The fajita meat had zero seasoning on in and it was like chewing on a piece of leather, the chili relleno, rice, beans, meat and cheese were all COLD and it took 1hr to get our food and it was dead. they only have one salsa and that's the one they give you with the chips. read more

As we drove towards San Antonio, we stopped for an early dinner. Was unsure af first, but no regrets. Will definitely stop again when ever we take another road trip on the 10. We had the Brenda's and a chile Relleno, everything had great flavor. The chile relleno was not like what I had before, but it was quite good. Rosa, our server was extremely polite and charismatic, great experience . read more

The chicken avocado queso is delicious! The waiter was very attentive and kind. We ordered chicken fajitas, kids beef taco and kids chicken tenders. All was very good! The location was convenient (right off I-10 & next to gas stations). Male & female restrooms were very clean and nice. All around a wonderful stop for lunch, drinks, or dinner! read more

Came into town for groceries and decided to have an early dinner. As this was about the only place open besides fast food, we stopped. Chips were okay, loved the salsa. Had a good kick to it. We both ordered George's special. Two enchiladas and two tacos, rice and beans. One order had chicken tacos, the other beef. Pretty good! We've had better, we've definitely had worst. read more

Great food! Clean restaurant. Respecting COVID-19 rules. I had chicken enchiladas and they were very good. Try the Chile Relano and 7 layered dip. I enjoyed the Italian cream cheese cake for dessert. read more

Service and people were great! We broke down driving to Big Bend late at night, they still served us. Food was great, atmosphere great. Highly recommend if you are in Sonora. read more

Never again. Been on the road for 16 hours and decided to stop. What was supposed to be a quick stop with food TOGO turned to be a incorrect order. The woman who charged me looked annoyed when I asked her if it was going to check much longer. She asked if I still wanted to wait, after I paid. After I've been here for 45 minutes. If you like slow service and incorrect orders followed by sarcasm, you've chose the right place. I chose my money back. This is ridiculous and it's not even busy ‍ read more

La Mexicana - Cheap cheese, nasty nasty meat, not edible, and this was $20. Horrible. - Mexican Near Me - Sonora, Texas

Stopped in traveling from California to Texas and was referred by the gas station attendant. Not too many choices around the area however glad we decided to give it a try. The waitress was quite attentive, even with the number of people in the restaurant. I had Carmen's Quizo, my husband had the Chile burger and kids had the burrito. My dish was delicious and I hear no complaints from them. Of note the burrito is huge and could certainly serve two. The sweet tea was delicious as well. Tried the carrot and tres leches cakes and they weren't bad either. Ignore some of the negative reviews and give this place a try. It won't WOW you but it's definitely good tasting and filling food read more

We like going here on "Taco Tuesdays"!! Where else can you get 2-3 tacos, rice and beans for $5 per plate??!! We have had other items on the menu and I can't complain....it was good! So much better than other joints we have been to in the community. read more

Extremely slow. Food was cold. Could not even get the waitress' attention to pay the bill. Hubs had to physically get up and find her! First time we've ever not left a tip. read more

Traveling through the small town. This place was rated highly and I understand why. Food was good and salsa was some of the best I've had! Refried beans my least favorite but still would return. read more
