La Espuela has held-up very well. See my fav's on prior reviews…read more Same owners & operation have a slightly more upscale place, "El Corazon", in the center of our City, just across Main Hwy from our historic Church. Espuela has slightly better prices; Corazon has a bit more comfortable seating. About a draw. At Corazon, parking lot is in rear. Also they now have SOME seasonal local seafood like boiled crawfish. Louisiana has law making restaurants post whether their seafoods are from Louisiana, or "imported". This somehow misses the customer's point; we are fine with seafoods from other states', as their products are from our own Gulf of American/Mexico, just not from the far east. The ceviche de camarrones here is not up to either Yucatan/Quintana Roo/Tamaulipas standards, nor our local quality. Other dishes we've tried are good to very good. We like & frequent both of these restaurants.

Los Amigos is que bueno. The free tortilla chips come warm to your table with a generous portion of…read moremedium-spicy salsa. The salsa itself has just the right proportion of fresh chopped cilantro to finely diced onion and tomato. Meals come served on real Fiestaware plates, hot from the oven. When sitting on the Los Amigos heavy hand-carved wood chairs in front of the full colorful plates, it feels a bit like home. Service is friendly, prompt, and happy to help with special needs. Many meals come as advertised with slices of avocado or fresh fruit. The fish and shellfish are fine in quality. I especially recommend the shrimp dishes including the camarones cocktail, which is a fun and filling shrimp cocktail served in a red gaspacho with sliced avocado and crackers. It's a great light lunch.

I tried the Wednesday special: chicken enchiladas, and had it delivered via Waitr. It was a very hearty serving at a very good price. It had a really good spicy kick (more so than the usual enchilada fare in the area, so be forewarned if you're sensitive to spice). I really enjoyed the lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, sour cream and cheese on top for layers of flavor and added texture. There are a lot of other items on the menu not typically found at a standard "Tex Mex" restaurant, such as gorditas and pupusas and tortas, in addition to tacos, burritos and quesadillas. I look forward to trying some new things next time!

The time from walking through the door to getting our food was very quick. The staff was very kind and personable (if not too personable). The restaurant has a bunch of local school murals that give it a hometown feel but also has ethnic designs of true a Hispanic culture. Not to mention for a small-town restaurant it served delicious meals! I was very pleased and quite full of my tacos and chips and salsa! I could find myself stopping in next time I visit!
