I had the $11 chicken fajita tostada plate and it was bland and just 'meh'. Fajita meat was more like a boiled and seasoned shredded chicken. I broke up the tostadas and mixed it all up like a salad and tried to eat it that way. No water was served to us, only bottled water available for purchase and as we had cold water bottles our entire trip and also waiting in the car, i refused to purchase another three bottles. We don't drink sodas so it made for an extremely dry meal. I know this is a taqueria, but I would have loved to munch on chips and salsa while waiting for our food to come out. Thankfully, it was served quickly. My husband ordered a couple of tacos. A cactus and bean taco with an obscene amount of garlic in which we've been tasting all the way home, and i only had one tiny bite. The other taco, which was supposed to be beef fajita meat was more like chopped brisket with absolutely nothing on the taco with it. Our daughter chose wisely not to order anything to eat. Or drink. She just sat and grinned at our expressions when we took a bite or looked at each other after taking a bite. Two extremely spicy bottle sauces were served with the meal. I guess the sauces were to cover the blandness of the food, but then all you tasted was hot pepper sauce with a severe heat and kick to numb your tastebuds. We like to eat local when we travel through places, but this was a definite disappointment.

I love me a good Tex-Mex breakfast so in we went. The menu had a lot of options, but we stayed with the usual, bean, cheese, bacon y cilantro taco - dos. Food came out quick and hot. Server sat two bottles of hot sauce down. I asked is it homemade and which is the hottest. She said si and pointed to the lighter red bottle. I put a dap on my finger to try and it straight punched me in the face - so hot immediately. I opted for the less hot and it was mild. A blend of the two would have been perfect. On to the tacos. Homemade flour tortillas, refried beans, A STRIP of bacon and cilantro. Added some sauce and gave it a try. Oh so good. The wife agreed. I'm glad she couldn't finish her 2nd one. Price's reasonable. Good place. And they open at 6:00am weekdays for those tacos to go. Later.

The meal came with rice and beans for $9.95, a great deal. They have different lunch special every day. My wife had the beef fajitas burrito and was very happy with it. I would highly recommend both dishes. They serverved us chips and homemade salsa which is the best I've tasted in an long time! Very tasty, spicy but not over done. The salsa is finely mixed and not over cooked to turn it into soup. It is great!!! The restaurant is mostly takeout but they do have 3 small tables if you eat it there. The seating is very limited but the service is excellent and they take good care of you. Unfortunately I left my phone in the car and failed to get photos of the plates which had generous portions. We will definitely be coming back soon!

We're we sat by a table that was close to a box fan due to it being a little warm inside. We actually appreciated the fan. The waitress was nice and helpful. We were offered chips and salsa. The salsa was not spicy and the chips were thin white corn chips. We also ordered queso. It was pretty good. The food was okay it came out super quick. The refried beans tasted like they were instant. The rice was very soft but they had a nice flavor. I had the lunch fajitas combo chicken and beef. The meat didn't have a lot of flavor/seasoning and the corn tortillas were store bought. I did enjoy the grilled onions. I didn't finish my meal but I brought it home and gave it to my family they stated it was good. My husband ordered the lunch enchiladas and he said they were pretty good. Overall it was okay but I personally probably wouldn't go back.

The posole was plentiful and wonderful--very authentic. The chips served with the posole were a bit stale. The steak in the taco carbon was inedibly salty and, at our request, it was happily replaced with chicken, which was quite good. The cheese enchilada was okay, but the tortillas seemed too thick. As is often the case, the air conditioning was uncomfortably cold. The menu was large, and another visit will be required to sample more offerings.
