We were seated right away, immediately we were given chips and salsa and then got our orders in. We were expecting a wait but our food came out pretty fast. The food was really good. I had the carne asada that comes out on a sizzling skillet with sauted onions. You also get a side plate with everything to put on it and a plate of beans an rice. It's a good amount of food and well priced too.

We must have just beat the lunch crowd because it started filling up fast as we were leaving. My only complaint is that the queso was pretty watery and thin, but everything else was great.

The carne guisada is fantastic, with huge chunks of tender slow-cooked beef cooked to perfection. The tortillas are homemade and among the best you can find, but the star of the show is the barbacoa. It's seasoned and cooked perfectly and not greasy. Prices are very reasonable and the tacos are next level. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Don't miss out on this Nacogdoches All-Star!

I am extremely concerned about an incident that occurred on the night of April 11, 2026. An…read moreemployee suffered a serious fall that appeared to result in a dislocated knee, requiring emergency medical assistance. She was in obvious and severe pain as paramedics responded. During this time, the manager on duty repeatedly attempted to pressure the injured employee into signing a form, even going so far as to present it to her while she was in distress and later while she was on the gurney. Despite paramedics instructing the manager to stop, these attempts continued. This behavior was highly inappropriate, lacked compassion, and raised serious ethical concerns. The manager's actions demonstrated a troubling disregard for the well-being of the employee during a medical emergency. No individual in such a condition should be asked to complete paperwork under pressure. If a member of my own family were treated in this manner, I would seriously consider escalating the matter to the appropriate regulatory agencies and seeking legal counsel. I urge your organization to review this incident thoroughly and take appropriate action to ensure that employees are treated with care, dignity, and respect--especially in emergency situations.
