The waitress was very attentive and checked on us often throughout - all the telltale signs of a good place to eat. So far so good - while looking though the menu we saw pictures of the Chicharones Cantinita - it looked amazing - so we decided to start with that. Needless to say, it was the single most delicious plate Ive have had in a long time! My friend told the cook that came out to serve it and plate it for us that it was the best thing he had ever had - Ever. Not idle praise but sincere commentary from a pair of Big Backs lol and I urge you to give it a try! Pictures are attached. Moving on to our main plate.... Ribeye tacos with bone marrow on the side....yeah.... The food got better.... They were also unbelievably good. Savory- with the light green salsa, and sprinkled with the extras to taste, all nestled in a soft corn tortilla taco with carmelized cheese layered under the ribeye beef.... Crazy Good....

The restaurant is humongous and beautifully decorated with vibrant colors. Service was okay but didn't feel very welcoming. They have complimentary chips and salsa which he bragged about but our visit the salsa was overly salty, unfortunately. My chicken meal was dry so I started eating off the chicken fajitas my son ordered and it was better. I'm guessing the cheese enchiladas my husband gets were great since he devoured his plate. I had high hopes especially when we drove 2 hours out of our way to try them but we may have visited on a bad day. I know my husband will keep coming so I'll definitely have to try them again possibly during the lunch buffet and hopefully I'll love them like he does.

Best Burritos in Midland, very classy, always helpful and the guacamole was really good. I had the Barbacoa burrito and the Guacamole, which can be mixed with salsa. The wait was a little but they do let you know that it will be a while. ALL of their food is made right there in the kitchen, including their tortillas. read more

The cheese had no flavor and the beans were on the watery side, and the meat was carnitas but heavy on the fat and large chunks for a pizza style dish. I'm not sure if they serve complimentary chips and salsa, we were not asked if we wanted them or not, our water glasses were never refilled. I have eaten here before but it was mid afternoon and we ordered tacos and flautas and everything was delicious, wait staff was attentive. So maybe the chef and staff do better when traffic is slow. This visit was a disappointment.

Yeah I should've walked away right away but I was starving and didn't want to keep searching. I figured well at least it's 5 tacos with rice and beans. Well I was sadly mistaken. It's only 3. That's right 3. And they aren't even fat tacos. Skimpy, meat is tuff and no flavor at all. They over cooked the meat and it shows the cook is lazy because he didn't even cut up the meat. Beans and rice didn't make this meal any better. How do you mess up tacos, beans and rice. Smh. I will never again let my hunger get the best of me. Stay away unless you don't mind losing an arm and a leg. Only positive I see from this is the employees are very nice. Guess they trying to butter you up before you realize they are screwing you.
