Customer Reviews

"Feels like you stepped into another world leaving whatever you knew as normal behind. I had the Supreme burrito and they did not disappoint! Service was welcoming and polite and the music in the background was literally background music, not too loud but you can make it out if you focused on it. Conveniently located near the Walmart and laundry facility across the street. You can get your detergent, wash your clothes and have a nice meal all in walking distance ;). Literally what I'm doing at this exact moment. Food was flavorful and they have what appears to be a regular clientele. Filling dine-in experience for under $15."

"Pricey, average food, fast food atmosphere. The small nachos are really small for $7.00. They have a 3.5% credit card fee so it's best to pay in cash."

- Bryan W.

"Make the effort to stop here for lunch or dinner. This restaurant came up in a GF app and it was worth every penny. Just a few minutes off the main highway and it's air conditioned. Staff was polite, welcoming and made a special effort to accommodate our requests. We ordered 2 platters, (one with extra sides) and a fountain drink and it cost $43. Staff was meticulous about keeping the place clean and cleared our plates. Thank you Raul and Christina (owners) for an enjoyable meal. We are not from the area but would recommend this place to anyone interested in catering options."

"The signage, and location, gives it the generic chain restaurant feeling, but the food is great. Definitely stands apart from the many Mexican restaurants in regards to the carnitas street tacos. Carnitas meat was delicious and the hot sauce worth a try. Clean restaurant tables and bathroom. Very pleasant servers and service. Prices are inline with many highway restaurants, but not excessive."

"Perfect birria tacos! I've had them all over the country and never had better. Stopped in because of a recommendation on a gluten free app and glad I listened. Son has dairy allergy, they made sure to keep him clear too. They had everything you expect from a classic Mexican restaurant, were quick, and so delicious. Be sure to stop in! They're super friendly! Also have a cute patio. Parking lot across the street for big semis!"
