I’ve passed this place a bazillion times and just thought it was a small town, average Mexican food place. I was wrong. It’s very good Tex-Mex with great margaritas and a decent beer menu. Service was fast and friendly and no wait.

The food was delicious! I had the chicken tortilla soup and yum. Bigger portion than I thought but didn't hate it. They didn't have cheeseburger on the kids meal but got my niece a regular burger. Barbacoa was good. Service was polite and constantly working, filling up cups of salsa and cleaning.

First time visiting the restaurant. I dined in to order. There was only one family inside. I asked for chicken tacos and this is what I got below. The menu said that toppings were included. I had to ask the staff for toppings, the staff looked confused and I had to show them the menu and the picture of how the tacos look. They eventually brought over the toppings. Everything was plain. The salsa had too much tomatoes and the guacamole was just an avocado with no salt; we had to use my toppings to make it better.

We were a group of 17 people, ordered a variety of foods and we all loved what we got! Tortilla soup stood out for me, both huge and delicious, I plan to come back for it. Staff was very nice and well organized, kept our orders straight both when they brought in the food and when we paid. The place seemed well loved by locals. Do recommend it!

Menudo must have a clear lake of oil on top, red mole masks what lurks below. Some rocks and shoals protrude like an oyster bed at low tide. Nothing I'd want to run my inflatable over.
Every now and then, out of the corner of my eye . . . something moves.
best. menudo. ever.

We ordered through drive through and ate at the office. I ordered steak street tacos and tortilla soup and goodness, the soup was delicious! My kids ate some as well as the rice and beans and thought all of it was really good. My only complaint is the sogginess of the tortilla strips in the soup. I prefer them semi-crunchy so I wasn’t a fan of them being already in the soup and soft. It didn’t stop me from eating it. :) Definitely worth a second visit when I’m in the area again.

This is a great restaurant. We have been eating here for years, and everything on the menu is good, especially anything with cheese dip on it. My go-to plate is the Monterrey Chicken, a grilled chicken breast with onions and peppers and cheese dip on top. OMG so good!
