    This place was really good and the people were very nice and attentive. The food was outstanding. Quite fresh and served piping hot. The chile relleno was to-die-for. Taco salad was quite generous. Convenient, right off I-29. Tucked in a non-descript strip mall by a gas station. We'll be back.

    We're car haulers and we're parked at the Loves Truck Stop and wanted something besides truck stop food on my husbands BD. We walked down the little path that leads straight to their restaurant. We ordered the fajitas and steak street tacos and a loaded burrito for later. Great family owned restaurant and excellent service, and food. Will definitely stop here again. They brought my husband out fried tortilla and honey for his special day. Everything was only $40 ;-)

    Pretty good little Mexican restaurant just walk down the hill from Loves.. The first good sign was no Minute Rice... Everything tasted good like it was made from scratch..... I would give it a 5 but they're release skimpy on the rice in the beans .. Rice and beans are really cheap they should load u up especially if they want those truckers to come back... The pork in the Verdi has no flavor but the Verde sauce very good.... And the owner comes out to ask how your are and how your food is... All in all I like the place. I'll be back I would have spent the same amount at Arbys... Still a little hungry more rice and beans please..

    Excellent food! Wonderful presentation. Warm atmosphere! One of my newest Hidden Gems!

    Not bad. A little pricey. I think serving Coke out of a bottle upped the price. Pleasant staff and clearly a family run business. Hamburger meet appeared to have no spice in it. Taco shells were fresh but appears to be from a box. I don't like rice but I tasted it, not bad but again, no spice. The food was just OK but I'm not huge lover of authentic Mxican. This is clearly an authentic Mexican joint. If you like authentic, this may be a good fit for you.

    There are only two places that I will eat Mexican food from in this town, and this is one of them…read more The serving staff has always, without fail, been nothing short of friendly and extremely accommodating. And while you will find the usual familiar favorites on the menu, you will find a plethora of things not commonly seen in your standard Tex-Mex restaurants. This is a great place if you've wanted to try more authentic food, but aren't quite ready to abandon old familiar favorites entirely. The decor is lively and bright, reminding me so much of places back where I am from. You can tell a lot about a place by the way the staff interacts with one another as well, and there seems to be a strong sense of camaraderie among them. Always clean, the prices are decent and you will not come away hungry. Seriously, for dinner, why bother going to any other place?

    Don't judge a book by its cover…read more The outside looks rough. But you step inside and it is quite nice. Clean, colorful, and festive. My server was really friendly and attentive. Just had an ap, two street tacos, and a top shelf margarita. Delicious! The queso with chorizo was LOADED with chorizo. Tacos were delicious. And the margarita...... well, the large will get you there. Definitely tasty and more authentic than many other 'Mexican' restaurants I have been to around the country.

I may be a little on the larger side but my wife is very skinny. Chips and salsa were delivered to our table then we sat for about 10-15 minutes before the manager came out and asked or anyone has taken our drink order. No was our reply as he headed to the back and sent a server out. She came out and did take our drink order then came back to tell us they had already shut down the soda machine. Who does that an hour and a half before they close? There were people eating although it wasn't very crowded. My wife ended up with water which she is not a fan of. She asked for lemon and when the girl returned she said they were out and offered her a lime. I ordered a margarita which came out with no taste of tequila in it. However it had a ton of ice. She took our orders which did come out fairly quickly.i had to ask for the spicy salsa three times and when it came out is was a vinegar based green sauce with zero spice. Upon leaving we found that the green vinegar sauce was an extra that they charged us $3.25 for. The food was less than average so I guess I should have checked the previous reviews first. Live a learn I guess. I don't recommend this place.
