Customer Reviews
Great location, directly next to a motel which I'm sure is handy for travelers. The food is absolutely delicious! Even the chips are fried perfectly, light and crispy with a salsa that is clearly not from a jar. Vibrant vegetables and clean bright green cilantro add just enough sweetness to the mix and the queso wonderfully thick. Also there very well seasoned and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Service was well above average all the way from placement of the order to the bussing. The entire team was on point and the prices were low enough to leave room for a decent tip. I enjoyed the rustic Mexican look of the place and the radio was playing an all Spanish station at just the right level.
Great food and reasonably priced. It was our first time and we will definitely be going back!
Friday is two for one tequila shots. Lovely venue (a bit of a smell)
Ordered the burrito deluxe ( 2 burritos, chicken and beef, smothered in cheese sauce) and an unsweet tea. Chips and drink came out fast to start. Chips and salsa - salsa is mild to bland, ask for the tomatillo salsa to mix and spice it up. The burritos took a little while considering the meats seemed to be in a pot to be scooped and thrown together. Beef is taco style meat. Chicken is shredded and seasoned. Was not brought a refill for my tea. Restaurant was moderately busy. Price was great for what was served. This restaurant is not into gouging looking through the menu. Suggestion to the restaurant- bring a tomatillo cup with the chips and salsa.
The best mexican food we have ever had, period. The price is super reasonable and didn't make us feel bad about ordering a lot. The service is splendid and the staff is very kind and the food came out in under 10 minutes. The food itself was AMAZING!! The portion sizes are super big for the price! I reccomend the specialty dips and the biraria tacos!
