The best homestyle Mexican food! I used to eat here often back in the day, maybe a little over 10 years ago, ever since my Mexican friend brought me to this place. I came back here for the first time in 10 years and I'm so happy that the taste is still the same! I was craving their food and I finally managed to stop by for lunch. I have yet to find a Mexican restaurant that has better Mexican rice than here. Their food is light and easy on my stomach. Although they don't have crazy seasonings, I really, really love the taste. The sodium level is perfect for my taste buds (I don't like salty food). The waitress is very nice too. I definitely will try to come back here to eat other dishes.

Always great food at great prices. Can be a busy lunch spot but generally can find a table for 4 or less. It's an old building though so it's drafty and runs cold, wear an extra later and maybe get an extra drink to warm up and enjoy

I ordered #44 with steak it was really tasty and the rice is very good. I am very picky and had all these special orders but they made my order perfectly with extra sides! Number 14 is one of my favorites as well. Good luck with your business, we appreciate you

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to get a taste of Mexico without leaving your home town? Ponder your thoughts no more friends. This place not only changed my life, but nourished my soul. The charisma from the staff and the great weather made me forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life and encouraged me to long for simpler times. The sizzling sound of the fajitas was loud enough to wake up a younger you. Spend all your money here.

Truly a slice of home. This restaurant is a family owned and ran restaurant, that serves with respect and diligence!! I found they do not have sweet tea, however their hot tea with some sugar packs was spectacular!! Brilliantly, they served an entire plate of guacamole for the chips and guac appetizer. You will see in the picture attached, I could not restrain myself as I cleaned the plate before I took the picture..... I can say, if you are from New Mexico as I am, and expect a punch of spicy in your Chile, you will be disappointed. That being said, it is no tomato sauce, you hear!? It gave my New Mexican tastebuds, an amusing sizzle. Worth the stop, absolutely!
