I'm never going to be able to eat normal salsa again. The torta was excellent, and the bread was perfectly crispy. I also tried the Gordita and nothing beats a homemade tortilla. The drink was ginormous (I guess everything is bigger in Texas). Service was great, and when I saw the price at the end I couldn't believe how cheap it was!

The food makes me want to go back as soon as we walk out. The tostadas are my favorite. They are fresh and light and crispy to the end. Idk how they do that. I love the music and all of the people. It is an upbeat and happy place to be. The salsa is delicious and I love it, but it took me a minute to figure out the smell reminds me of stuffed bell peppers like my mom used to make!

The salsa that accompanied the chips had a nice mild flavor. I requested something with a bit more spicy "zing" and enjoyed the dish provided. Very tasty. We ordered chicken enchiladas with green sauce and a spicy seafood dish. Both dishes were great. The sauces served with our dishes pushed the flavor over the top. We finished our dining with a peach bread pudding topped with ice cream. Yummy. The service was a bit on the inexperienced side. The waitstaff were pleasant, they answered all of our questions and filled our requests. The restaurant was clean and had ample lighting. We will return to dine here, and recommend this restaurant to our friends.

Once we sat, we saw one other table of 4 people inside. It took 15 minutes for her to come out with salsa and chips and then she took our drink order. Sweet tea was good and topo chico was available. We ordered chicken fajitas, beef fajitas and chicken enchiladas. Their saving grace were the crispy chips and fresh salsa. Every time the door at entrance opened there is a VERY loud, startling beeping sound. It took over 45 min to get our food. Unfortunately, portions were lunch size and food was bland. Our server was confused and served the chicken fajitas stating they were steak. She brought out one plate at a time with 10 min in between each plate so everything was lukewarm warm by the time we finally got tortillas at the very end. All the staff seemed distracted by the rain storm. The tv inside the restaurant had "Bluey" cartoon on. I would not recommend this place unless you want to wait an hour and prefer bland Mexican food and a very casual atmosphere. We had to walk up to get our check. Very disappointed because other people's reviews sound very positive but unfortunately we did not have that experience today.

This is a true small family business run by a husband and wife team with their daughter. When you walk through the doors at TM, you feel like you have left East Texas and transported to a border town. It kind of feels like you've gone to someone's Adobe home for a good meal. The prices are amazing! In a day and age where a burger from a fast food restaurant alone will cost you 7 to 8 dollars, you can get a full meal anywhere between $6.50 and $12. And the food! The food is an explosion of flavor and the portions are huge. You are definitely getting your moneys worth, which feels kind of unreal with the rise in prices all around us.

The service had me wishing that we had the other younger lady because she was very attentive to all her tables and everyone at them, ours pretty much just served my man, she even refilled his drink 3 times and ZERO times for me, that kind of service definitely makes it where I will never spend our hard working money on that place again!! And the funny part is that server's should know that it's mostly the female customers that are deciding the tip! Don't waste your money, I don't even consider Taco Bell Mexican food but right now I would actually prefer them to this place.

First of all, the food was better than good. I had vegetable quesadilla. It was very good and so hot I had to let it cool a little. Wife had club taco. A twist on the soft shell taco and was very good. Chips and salsa OK. Our server was nice and did a good job. As far as a Mexican restaurant goes, this place misses the spot. Again, food was good, but the atmosphere and vibe was off. We wished we had gone to the The Two Sisters. Frozen margarita machine was "still broken"; this was a disappointment (how long has it been broken?). We ordered the tall margarita on the rocks. It was palatable. We will not return when passing through Mount Pleasant.

The chips were extra thick and crunchy, the salsa was bland and just gross. The problem is that I can cook good food at home so it's the service that makes eating out worth it, and I've never had worse service than here today. If things are busy, all the grace in the world, no problem, but this was different. Someone spilled their water so we used all of our napkins to clean the table. Eventually, someone put a wet floor sign nearby so they knew something was spilled at our table. No one ever came over to offer more water or napkins, or anything else for that matter. We ate our spicy meals with zero napkins and no water. Two of the four orders were wrong which is fine, that happens too, but one of the replacement meals was still wrong, and the waitress didn't care. We had to get up and get napkins, get up and ask for more tea, get up and get a to-go box before we paid out, so what service were we tipping for exactly? We told the cashier that one of our to go meals still didn't have the sides listed on the menu even though we asked for them and her response was "sorry about that." Zero care in the world. So I told her when it was my turn to pay out that maybe our waitress was having a bad day or something because I've never had worse service in my life. Again, it was "sorry about that." There was no language barrier with her, she completely understood the problem. I wonder how many times a day she says "sorry about that." It's the first time in my life I didn't tip. Yesterday, I tipped $67 at Cracker Barrel, but this restaurant has everything to be desired in the service department. At least the food they got right was really good.
