    Lunch fajitas, steak
    Addison G.

    This is hands down the best mexican restaurant. While being tex-mex to serve the surrounding community better, they still manage to bring an authentic mexican touch to their food which is impossible to find elsewhere. Amazing service, Salvador is the best server. Food is top tier, prices cannot be beat with the quality of food they bring. Portions are great! Great feel of the restaurant.

    Excellent service and even better food! The small town gives it BIG taste with this family owned restaurant. The food is always hot and fresh. The restaurant is great and open, the booths are comfortable and spacious! Love the complimentary Margaritas and Beers on the weekend, can't beat FREE! Favorite Mexican restaurant around!

    I ate my first taco so quickly!

    Small town food Mexican restaurant! I wasn't thinking I'd be impressed when I walked in here. It's kind of a basic room with tables, not really the best atmosphere. I was also a little worried when the waiter told me they didn't have cojita(spelling?) cheese. I ordered steak tacos, street style and I was very impressed by the flavor- like truly stunned. You can order one at a time or a platter with 3. I ordered a platter with 3 but I should have just gotten a bunch of single tacos because they were so good! (Even without the traditional cheese haha)

    WORST SERVICE I'VE EVER HAD! Which is unfortunate, since the food is good. We were there for 1.5 hours and still didn't get all of our food.

    Sometimes small town restaurants get a pass on lackluster food due to locale.

    Our experience was 3 1/2 stars. Food wise it was probably closer to 3 stars for me and 4 stars for…read moremy husband. I decided to round up because I thought they did a pretty good job with the hand they were dealt. We called in an order for pick up Saturday at lunch time. When we arrived 15 minutes later to pick up there was a little trouble with their card machine that nobody knew how to fix. I heard two employees discussing that they didn't even have a phone number to call for the machine in question. Luckily they got another register to work. On that note I believe they also said there was a small discount for paying with cash instead of card. I had only walked in with my phone and card, but wouldn't have had a problem going back to the hotel to get some cash if they couldn't figure it out. Turns out their manager had quit on Wednesday and there wasn't an assistant manager or anyone else trained on fixing system issues. Considering they were probably making adjustments on schedules and tasks as they went, without any guidance from a manager, I think they did a pretty great job! The phone etiquette and in person etiquette was on point. I found the food okay, but again, I think they were doing a great job dealing with an unusual situation for a restaurant. The chips were a tad stale and I found the salsa and queso to be a bit watery for my taste. The flavor of both was fine, nothing too special but fit the bill. Overall my torta was okay, I wasn't a fan of the frequent chunks of stringy and fatty meat throughout the beef fajita they used, but that won't bother everyone. The veggies were fresh and the bread was passable. I would order something different next time. My husbands enchilada special was the clear winner. They accommodated him getting one beef, one chicken and one guacamole enchilada instead of 3 of the same. He got it with queso on the side and felt everything was high quality. I had a few bites of his meal (wife tax) and I would have to agree. The beef was well seasoned and clear of any grit, the rice was well cooked and the beans were pretty good. He didn't save any of the guacamole enchilada for me to try (just selfish) but the avocado on my torta was extremely good so I think I know why that was the first enchilada to disappear. Sometimes you just order the wrong item for your taste and sometimes a restaurant is having an off day. Based off my husbands meal and the friendly staff I would definitely return and try other items on the menu. You may need to exhibit patience since they are clearly in a transition period; nobody really knows how long that will take until they fill the gaps and establish their team dynamic.

    Bottom line is the service. Food is good but waiting like we were in Rome for a 2 hour dinner…read moreservice is just not ok. Watched 2 families just leave. Our waiter made multiple mistakes and just never returned towards the end. Will probably be awhile until I go back.
