★★★★☆ 4.0 Sarah (Mustanger04) · Feb 2024

Waiter was best part by far!! The salsa is warm ( great flavor) food was seasoned very well. Had no idea what a cheese puff was but was super good! Basically a fried shell with cheese dip on it, very crispy! Great cheese dip.

Me and my wife went in today and being a chef myself I must say I'm impressed!! The wait staff was on point, the salsa was hot and hand crafted and our apps and food came quickly and was served hot on heated plates!! The food was spectacular!! It tasted authentic!! The price was reasonable and the waitress deserved the $20.00 tip because she was on point. We will definitely be back!

Its good. Good food at a great price. Everything seems fresh, and Staff is attentive. Its not the best mexican food i've ever had, but its pretty good. Cant go wrong, and unless you want to drive another couple of hours... this is the spot.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Thomas Avinger · Nov 2022

Service was fine and fast but the server only showed up twice. The food was just okay. Chips tasted like old grease, so did the beans. I had 2 fajita enchiladas and a cheese enchilada. Both the chicken and beef were dry and under seasoned. Queso was bland. Salsa was good but filled with chopped 1/4 onion pieces. Prices are very low. If you’re nearby and craving Mexican food check em out.

Food was very good, hot and delicious. Service was great even tho they were super busy. Servers were very polite and kept checking in on us. Will have to go again.
