Probably a mixture of not too many options in the area and that they are good. Once seated they bring complimentary chips and salsa. I must say those chips are like crack. Very good. I also ordered some guacamole which was also very good.The first night I had the Mexican steak as recommended by the waiter which was excellent. Huge portion so I had to take half of it to go. The second night I had Tacos Locos, again a recommendation by the waiter. Again very good! Overall everything I had was well above the average Mexican restaurant. The one thing I would not recommend getting here are the salads. They seemed pretty weak. All iceberg lettuce and a bunch a shredded cheese on top. But then again who goes to a Mexican joint for a salad!

The plates , but you can clearly see that we cleaned our plates! Very fresh tasting, friendly atmosphere. (The menus could have been wiped clean a bit better) but other than that, we loved it! When you first walk in everything kinda looks quite old in a nostalgic way, and you might even think that it doesn't look clean, but the more we looked around all of the fun novelties that was sitting around were freshly dusted, and even their air-conditioning units were clean, which told us something about the ownership. Clean restrooms to boot!

We were brought individual flights of salsa to go with the chips. My michelada hit the spot. Was it the best? No. But it scratched the itch. I couldn't decide on what to eat. Until I saw green chili stew and asado. I moved away from Midland in 2015. You don't really find asado away from West Texas. The music wasn't too loud and the lighting wasn't too bright or too dim. Overall, we enjoyed our meals. I'll likely stop back in the next time I'm in town.

We stopped at Mejia's Bakery while passing through town looking for a quick lunch. At first glance,…read morethe place almost looked closed--it's very unassuming from the outside and located in an older strip-style row of storefronts that gives off a bit of an old-west small-town vibe. Don't let that fool you though; once you step inside it's clear this is a very authentic Mexican spot. The interior is long and narrow. On the right side when you walk in there are bakery cases filled with a wide variety of traditional Mexican pastries and baked goods. On the left there's some seating and an ice cream area, and further toward the back there's a larger seating section that looks like it's used for their buffet (which we were told they offer on weekends). We visited on a Wednesday, so we ordered from the counter instead. The people working there were very friendly and welcoming, and the prices were very reasonable. I ended up ordering a cheese quesadilla with fries. The fries were actually excellent--crispy, salty, and exactly what you'd hope for. The quesadilla itself was okay. In fairness, this is clearly a place that specializes in more traditional Mexican dishes, and I probably didn't order the thing they're best known for. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food and pastries, this seems like a great local spot and it's definitely worth checking out. If your taste leans more toward American-style Mexican food, you might find the menu a little different than what you're used to. Overall, a friendly local bakery and restaurant with very fair prices and a lot of traditional options.
