I ate a burrito the size of a opossum. Please remove this from your menu, I'm not strong enough to say "no".

Love this place! The food is always good. I do wish they'd get a better recipe for their hot sauce. It taste so bland and generic.

This restaurant used to be my go to favorite unfortunately the service, portions of food and food…read morequality have gotten significantly worse. In one of my experiences with this restaurant my mom got birrai tacos with a vein still in the beef. I have gotten undercooked chicken almost every other time I come here. And last but most definitely not least the atmosphere. The whole place is filthy and the bathroom has pee stains on the toilet and floor. If you want good authentic Mexican food DONT COME HERE. There are many great Mexican restaurants near.

Wow, what a find in this little town. We were on an overnight stop and had a desire for Mexican…read morefood. The menu is very extensive and the establishment was very busy (always a good sign). Our wives ordered pork tamales ala carte and I ordered a beef taco, and 2 beef enchiladas with queso. At the last moment, I ordered 2 birria tacos with spicy salsa and my BIL ordered a steak burrito with no salsa. The tamales ( although pork) came with a ground beef sauce which they said was excellent. The burrito was ok, but he said it definitely needed the salsa and then it would've been perfect. The ground beef taco and enchiladas were spot on, but the birria tacos were . Some of the best I've ever had. The spicy salsa is not for the faint of heart as it has a kick, but delicious. If you're in the area and hungry for Mexican food, you will not go away hungry.
