Please visit the authentic restaurant attached to the gas station off exit 110 now past Cook Out. we had dinner last night and I'm just adding a photo of something new I tried. Cocina Special - you get a whole chicken breast, a thin steak, shrimp, a blackened jalapeño, a cheese quesadilla, rice, and beans. I liked this fish and since it doesn't have cures smothered on it would make a great choice if you are trying to be healthy.

Lime frozen or on the rocks 1.99 happy hour and flavored frozen or on the rocks 2.99 if i'm not mistaken but super cheap regardless! They also have variety of bottled beer and on draft they offer Michelob ultra, Corona Modelo, and Bud light. They can do pina coladas, liquid marijuanas, sex on the beach, dragon mojito, ect.

Somewhat late at night, driving through an unfamiliar area and getting hungry, we decided to check…read morethis out since it sounded somewhat promising. To be honest, it looked closed - all the windows are tinted, so we couldn't see inside, and the parking lot was empty. Maybe we pulled up later than they typically expect to have diners, b/c when we walked in (very nice inside, btw, great decoration and all), I noticed there had been a party in the next room that hadn't been cleaned up yet. They have a bar, but I was driving, and my friends w/ me don't drink, so we didn't do that - notable, though, b/c most Mexican restaurants I've been to don't serve alcohol. Food is really great value, and great portions. We each got pretty huge platters for very reasonable prices, and the quality was great. Service was on point as well; admittedly the guy seemed a bit surprised to see us, but once he got us set up, everything went smoothly - chips and salsa to start, great w/ refilling water, food came out pretty quickly (perhaps not challenging when we were the only people there!). Other than the one table not being picked up when we walked in, the entire place was clean, including the bathroom, and I would go back if in the area again!

It's great because they have vegetarian options. I special ordered vegetarian fajitas with black beans and they were happy to make that modification for me.

The service was excellent and the prices reasonable. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a meal.
