Coming from Texas born & raised this is by far the best hispanic food you will find around Effingham. I’ve personally tried all Hispanic food locations & more than once. It’s true, authentic, and full of flavor bursting with culture compared to other local restaurants. (My opinion) I am far from the dull & bland ingredients. If you like flavor with spice this is THE place to go. Even if you’re not interested in the pop of spice they can adjust accordingly, & every meal is made to order, on the spot! Nice and fresh, sauces on the side. With every meal comes salsa and a bag of chips. The Horchata is a hit!! Refreshing and delicious! 🤤 Not to mention the PRICES, they are perfect especially for the amount of food they give you. I have personally also tried the pollo plate, the shrimp plate, ch

What a gem! Had four tacos. Shrimp, al pastor, suadero, and cabeza. I can't decide which one was the best because they were all outstanding and perfectly seasoned. Green salsa was amazing. It was kind of chilly so I asked for a small consomme, and it really hit the spot. Not oily or salty. Just right and exactly what I wanted on a cold night. Happy I stumbled on this truck. Nice guy taking orders. Food was ready pretty quickly.

2 separate times I have stopped at the banker location and stood outside waiting for an employee to take my order. Ended up leaving both times to go to the other location. Tonight that happened. Went to the Fayette location and tonight the nachos are pathetic. The chips bend like pasta.its a greasy mess. Been going there for years but NOT ANYMORE! plenty of Mexican food options in this town anyways.

One of our favorite places in town, and their prices absolutely make them one of the best values in the region! Love their chicken burrito, chicken nachos, and their chorizo is really good! Tried the new Camarón Loco (seen here) for lunch today, and it's awesome! And don't forget to ask for their green sauce, it's amazing!

Tamales=love. The flavor of the masa was great. So much flavor packed inside. The hot sauce definitely has a kick if you can't do spicy but its on the side so just use caution. Cant believe I've been driving by this place and never stopped. Currently no seating so we ate in our car, but it was amazing.
