Prepare for greatness. The chips were served warm and the salsa cold. They serve beer! A great way to wash down your meal. The hubs said his chili verde was among the best he's ever had (worth finishing with a Tums). It definitely tasted like it was made from scratch. I loved the shrimp chipotle. So many shrimp! So much fiery spice! The perfectly seasoned rice, sour cream and guac cooled things down (and the beer helped). Oh, that guacamole? Spring for the appetizer of it--chunky with just the right amount of onions--so good. It wasn't the best part (because the food was so good) but the check was mighty nice. I felt bad paying so little for this meal.

We took the back road on Rt 70 back home to Nashville from Sparta, TN and we stopped in Smithville Tn for late lunch! So, why not a little MEXICAN FOOD...I love mexican food!!! ( is that politically correct?) anyway, I love it. We went into the restaurant and it was packed. They greeted us immediately and put us in a great booth. They took our drink order immediately and brought us some chips and salsa. Great salsa but a little too much cilantro ...but I love cilantro!!! Tony ordered a bottle of Budweiser and I ordered an unsweet tea with lemon and lime. Tony ordered a Chimichanga (steak) with great cheese sauce with side of refried beans and mexican rice...I stole his pico and guacamole sauce...(love it love it love it) and I ordered a lunch portion of chicken and steak fajita ( I didn't eat the flour tortillas) I ate it like a salad with my side of mexican rice and refried beans with guacamole and pico sauce..it was so delicious!!!! I would go there again!! Definitely go there again !!!

We went in the middle of the week but food was hot and fresh to order.
