    This is one of the best molcajeta’s that I’ve ever had. I know Mexican food having traveled over 40k miles in Mexico and tasted almost every food. This place is a gold mine. Must visit spot.

    The homemade cilantro salad dressing here is amazing. Drinks are strong. The salsa is spicy. Service is great. Definitely the best spot in town

    This restaurant gives old western TexMex. The waitress was alert but not too clingy. Just enough to take care of all our necessities. She's been working there for more than 20 years so it makes sense. The "complaint" is the size of the corn cake that comes with the combos. It's like a tablespoons worth.. I wish it were bigger. That is all.

    Joined the crew for our biweekly Hangout on Friday. Food was delicious, drinks were cold. The mango margarita is amazing, don't let the price scare you... It's big enough to share with a friend (you can split the cost ) I got the shredded beef taco single it combo with just rice. Very delicious but also I'm not too keen on the "salad" bed included on the plate. Too much lettuce for me. There was this small bit of cornbread that was melt in your mouth tasty, I'd get an order of just that! Everyone had a great time eating and talking. Can't wait for the next Hangout!

    Absolutely delicious meals for a very reasonable price. You can tell it's a favorite Mex restaurant for the locals. The carne asada tacos, carnitas burrito (chile Verde), and taquitos, oh and chips and salsa are yum yum yummy! Oh and the rice and beans are yum yum yummy too! Very large servings!
