    My wife and I were driving through this town when we saw a Taco Shop that my wife wanted to try. We…read moresat down and ordered some tacos and a side of rice. Just as my wife was about to eat the last bit of rice, she noticed a white piece that we initially thought was overcooked rice. Upon closer inspection, we realized it was a maggot. This made us both feel sick to our stomachs, and we felt like throwing up. We had already put some of the rice into our tacos. We informed the lady at the counter, but she didn't seem surprised or apologize; she just told us we didn't have to pay for the meal. When we stepped outside, my wife's stomach was upset, and she felt like throwing up, as did I. After getting some air for about five minutes, I decided to go back inside to take pictures. I informed the two ladies inside that I was going to take pictures, but one of the ladies, who hadn't been there initially, told the other lady in Spanish to take the plate away and not let me take a picture. We have never been in a situation where we might have eaten maggots. We will be going to the hospital to get checked

    It was rough start, the Starter Chips were stale, and the Cheese was runny didn't taste like…read morecheese. Sour Cream was also funny/watery. However, The food was great, I ordered the Chicken Tacos with Cheese & Sour Cream, they were delicious!

The waitresses and cashiers are very friendly. I usually get the shrimp Diablo or the shrimp with garlic sauce. I have tried the chicken tacos, chicken burritos, and the nachos. I'm not sure what type of onions they use but every time I've ordered the shrimp with onions or even the nachos it smells like hot trash. It tastes fine but the smell is very off-putting. The portion size are decent and the prices are not bad. However sometimes I can't get over the smell of the food. Some of the dishes don't smell like that I believe it might also be the sour cream. I do like the tacos and the garlic shrimp and the burritos are not bad.

    What a cool place. You can tell they take care of the place, keep it tidy and clean. The service…read morewas off the charts, not too much not too little. They really took care of me and I wasn't the only one there. The chips (because thats where all Mexican places start) were thicker than I am used to. I didn't know i wanted them thicker until now. I REALLY like the chips, salsa was what you would expect, nothing special or bad. The queso was very cheesy, I mean like stick to your mouth and hang out sticky. It wasn't seasoned or complimented with flavor just cheesy. I ordered oddos trios ( I prolly messed that up) but it was what was recommended. It doesn't come with tortillas so i ordered those on the side, i really wanted to taste all the meats during this review for everyone. It came with rice - chicken - steak - shrimp. The rice was ok, its just rice- no peppers no onions so take that how you will. I only got 3 shrimp and to me they were a little chewy and what you would expect flavor wise. The steak now - SLAPS. It was seasoned and really good. The chicken was not shy of the steak, it was hard to tell what i liked more of the two. For me, 5 stars is knock ya socks off. If you want a cheap, good meal, the kids will like, this is the place locally. Def try for someone craving Mexican on a budget! It was 18 bucks for just me but i did add tortillas and queso.
