    Pico, sour cream and avocado
    Dana J.

    Very good food and nice environment I would definitely eat here again. They also have the best salsa and tacos. You can even get cheek meat tacos very authentic. Prices are also reasonable. I had the Tejano plate pictured below.

    Molcajete.   Huge portion but not much seasoning.

    Chips are very good, but I found the salsa to be very bland. I asked if they had any hot salsa and was thrilled when they brought me a dish filled with three different salsas. I think the largest compartment was the standard salsa, but the two smaller sections were much hotter and very good. I got guacamole too, and it was really good. The price on the molcajete was priced very nicely, and the portion was huge. I couldn't eat it all, which is not usual for me. I'm afraid that I found the molcajete to be really bland too and some of the steak very tough. Service was good. Great value but far underseasoned, in my opinion. They must like it this way in these parts.

    Mocajete, generous serving and very good

    Second time here because it's that good. Arrived at opening 12 noon, and there was a line out the door before we were done. We were quickly served our complimentary chips and salsa by Jack, who was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Mocajete, which was large, and plenty for both of us, and did a take out box too. It wasn't served in the hot Mocajete as I am accustomed to, but it was good nonetheless, served with plenty of nicely seasoned and cooked meat and veggies, including grilled cactus paddles. It was like a fajita in a huge bowl with cheesy Quesadillas, but you didn't have to play with it to eat it. Definitely making it back here again.

    Green sauce enchiladas, beans, rice. Notice salsa is gone and margarita is half full! YUMMO!

    Amazing margarita! Hit the spot! Green sauce enchiladas, chips and salsa were perfect! Quick friendly service. My new go to place!

    A hole-in-the-wall-esque restaurant this place serves up some authentic and tasty Mexican food. Judging by the crowd it seems to quite popular with the locals, but we didn't have any trouble getting seated on our arrival. Despite this I wouldn't be surprised if they get packed during peak hours. As for the food, they don't skimp on the portion sizes or on toppings. Don't be deceived by the dishes' simple appearances! Everything tastes so good we all had no problems absolutely devouring our meal. The quesadillas come with copious amounts of avocado, something I've never seen elsewhere. While the burritos are deliciously drowned in queso sauce. And the prices for everything are a steal! Plus all the staff are quite nice and the place gives off a pleasant homey vibe. All in all this mom and pop shop definitely deserves some support!

    Vegetarian enchiladas

    This place came highly recommended and I was excited to finally try it. I was part of a large party so it took a while to get seated. The restaurant is non-stop bustling with patrons so that was already a promising sign that the food is good. The staff seems so happy and they were very friendly and enthusiastic. Once we were seated, we were able to order and have our food delivered to our table quite promptly. The flavors were fresh and authentic. I can see (and taste) why the locals say this is the best Mexican restaurant in town. I'll definitely be back again when in the area!

    Special plate with steak. The grilled jalapeño is so tasty!

    See all

    Good food but crazy hours. Can close at any time and stays closed. But a good little family run business.
