    3.75 stars This place has been around for a long long time. I remember my grandma and aunts always talking about "the restaurant with the double car out front" that they use to go eat at. I come from a long leniage of tex-mex food lovers so hence why I have high expectations. I know its SET, so one can only hope for so much but I must say, that this place is tasty. I love the decor, very old school feeling with lots of pics of old movie stars. My dad was also impressed with how large the restaurant was; it is quite spacious. Ok, on to the food. Very good tasty salsa and queso, so off to a good start. I really like how they add 3 or 4 sugary cinnamon chips in with the basket of chips, unique. The enchiladas and tamales were good, queso flameado was super chessy without being too greasy and large tostadas. My only complaint, is how pricey it is for just a regular ole' tex mex restaurant. Other than that, its good. Definelty better than Rancho Grande or La cantina.

    I love the setup of this place as the restaurant looks like it was built from an actual house because the interior sure does imitate the interior of a house. I have seen this place countless times driving by but never thought to dine here until this day and am very glad I did as their food was far just below average for me to even consider eating here again in the future. I went with my boyfriend so we ordered a variety of foods for us to share and eat. We are very hard critics when we eat food at restaurants and other food places so we were talking about how their queso was good except that it was way too thick and stuff that every time we dipped our chips in, it would break... *sad face* I also ordered the "Summer Special" and my bf the "Beef Burrito Dinner." In all honesty, I could've made the special by myself in which I wasted $10 on and my bf's burrito was a waste in which we finished both our meals (for the sake of the costs) but we both later got sick afterward.

    Hot homemade chips and salsa!

    Classic Tex- Mex from a family establishment that has been around since the 1960s at least... Look for the american flag car with two frontends!

    See all

    Got the street tacos and they were good. Steak was tender and well seasoned. Will come back next time to try the other items.
