Friendly staff with quick service. Chips and salsa came out as soon as we sat down. My husband would love to see some vegetarian options with their burgers because they look delicious. If you come in hungry, you will definitely leave feeling full. Worth the stop.

Small cafe with seating for about 28. I got their green chili cheeseburger, comes with old style homemade fries, not frozen. The burger is a two hander, large bun, made to your order. Food came quickly to my table & I was checked on, to make all was fine. Chips & salsa provided while you wait for your order.

I loved this place. Nice quite place with good service. My wife loved their shrimp cocktail and calabacitas. They have speciality burgers (Venison, Elk and Bison). The will make Allen's burger which is a green chili burger with spam, red sauce on a bison burger. It does not get better than this

It's such a little spot, so little that the drive-thru window is in the lobby. But it's sooooo good. Price wise, it beats most other Mexican restaurants, and the staff here are great! The chilaquiles were good, the egg was done how I liked it, and the beans didn't taste from can. For the price, most other spots would charge me $5-$8 more and is less fresh. Can't wait to try the burgers next time! Little note: it is so small that the bathroom is around the back of the building outside.

For quality and quantity of food, a full 5-star review. For service, 10-stars! The gentleman happily greets you and kindly takes your order. He patiently and clearly answers any questions. The tasty chips and salsa come to your table immediately followed by your drinks. No sooner are you done with your chips when your heaping made-to-order food arrives. My wife and I each had a burger and fries. This has a traditional burger joint feel, complete with friendly, fast service. There are Mexican influences in the burgers we chose, which kicked the food up a notch. They've got a formula that satisfies the hungry tummy & soul, and makes you look forward to your next meal there. Friendly people. Thank you for the good experience, at a very budget price.
