    Great healthy original Mexican food. The seafood soup is delicious. Highly recommend this place. Also big parking for semi trucks. Very friendly and the price is cheap.

    The server is not trained in customer service and it's hit or miss on the food. Stale chips and fatty meat.

    The tacos are delicious and serving size is abundant! We look forward to going back again and…read moreagain. I only wish they were available on Door Dash for delivery!!

    The boyfriend and I really miss our ghetto Mexican joint in Memphis, so when a friend and I were in…read moreWautoma, we asked for a recommendation for lunch and ended up here, described as "better food and cheaper too" than the alternative. GPS took us several blocks down the street, and one side of the place appears to be a grocery store (we didn't go in there) and the other side is the restaurant. There were actually people there at 3pm on a Monday, and we were waved in to seat ourselves. Now, this is a classic dumpy, sketchy-looking joint. Reasonably clean, but don't think too hard about any of it, and I wouldn't recommend using the restroom (I did not). Our server spoke some English, though I had to ask her to repeat herself most of the time (I'll take half the blame on that one). Overall, service was ok -- we weren't spectacularly ignored, but I wouldn't call it great either. The menu is HUGE. They have all kinds of food, including burgers and even breakfast (!), with the authentic Mexican stuff in the back. Having eaten at these kinds of places before, I went for the shrimp cocktail de Cameron, which is essentially a cold red soup with onions, cilantro, avocado, and the like, with cooked shrimp. It was a bit sloppily served (wiping off the edges would have been nice), but boy was it tasty! I could have been back in my Memphis restaurant. My friend ordered a chimichanga (pork, I believe), which was also delicious. However, the provided chips and salsa were, uh, not great. I'd pass on those next time. Important safety tip, they only take cash, though I believe they have an ATM. Lunch for the two of us, including a fountain soda (she offered me a choice of fountain or can) ran just $18 and we were stuffed. If I'm ever up in this neck of the woods again, or in the mood for some authentic Mexican and a drive, I will totally be back with the boyfriend.
