He took our order and brought us our drinks. While we were there there was nobody around. No employees, no customers, nothing. It was silent. I went to utilize the latrine and saw him in the kitchen, alone with one light on. This fella was literally doing EVERYTHING alone. The food was fresh, delicious, hot, and he didn't mess anything up. This old man did EVERYTHING. Turns out he had a broken wrist and no employees showed up to work. Had we known we would have ordered all the same thing and made it family style type situation to make it easier. This dude literally cooked 9 different Mexican dishes by himself, served the food, and was our bartender. If you're in town, eat here and tip this fella!!!!!

Decent food but very, very good service. Kev ordered the 3 enchiladas (shredded beef) combo which…read morehe liked very much. Tawny ordered the Pozole which was not as good as expected. Pork was hard (not tender) and the soup was not that tasty -- hence the 3 star review. We will come back another time and try other items on the menu. Hopefully we will see a star increase.

Had the steak burrito, which was good, but the pozole was fantastic. I'll be back again.read more

When we lived closer it was our favorite Mexican place to eat. We would travel an hour and a half…read moreto have lunch there. It was always spotless. Food was way above average. We moved to Nevada 2 years ago. Today we were traveling through the area and were so excited to be able to eat there again. Walked through the door and right off the bat noticed how dirty the dining area was. We seated ourselves. Waitress brought chips and salsa. This is part of my issue. The chips were small broken pieces. I could have complained but it was at the beginning of the meal and if you complain you never know what will happen to your meal in the kitchen. On a positive note the refried beans were the best I've ever had. My husband had the fajita burrito and said it was delicious.

I've eaten a lot of Mexican food and this tasted like it was made with care and fresh ingredients. Our party of four included a 5 year old; the server was patient and he checked on us a number of times. I don't always have time to write reviews while on vacation, but when I noticed the low-star reviews it made me want to express the great experience and food I had. It must be so hard to own a restaurant in the day of social media where people mostly write when they're grumpy. I hope more people will share their positive experiences here too.

visited la cabaña del tequila looking forward to enjoying a…read moregood Mexican meal with my son after a long day of traveling. Unfortunately, the experience ended before we even had a chance to order. The host, a man who appeared to be in his 30s, greeted us without any welcome or friendliness. He simply pointed us to the two tables near the entrance and told us the restroom was upstairs. Since the restaurant was completely empty, with no customers and very few cars in the parking lot, I politely asked if we could choose a different table. His response was that we could not because he decided where customers sat. The way this was communicated felt dismissive and unwelcoming. As a fellow Mexican, I was especially disappointed by the interaction. I had come hoping to enjoy authentic Mexican hospitality, but instead I left feeling unwelcome. My son even asked me why the gentleman had behaved that way, and I felt it was better for us to leave than begin our meal with that experience. Restaurants in a tourist destination have an opportunity to make visitors feel welcome and appreciated. Good food is important, but genuine hospitality is what people remember. I sincerely hope management takes customer service seriously, because a warm greeting and respectful treatment can make all the difference. Unfortunately, based on this experience, we chose to dine elsewhere.

A really cool and novel breakfast/lunch spot that creatively uses their space on an old school bus…read more Friendly owners, good food. I thought the breakfast burrito was great except it was a little heavy on the potatoes and could have been balanced better with more eggs and less potato. Also their red salsa that was supposed to be the hot one needs a lot more heat, it almost wasn't there at all, but perhaps it's just par for the area. But the real shining star dish from here is the quesabirrias with complimentary consomé, but I think they call it cheesy beef tacos or something like that. Breakfast is only served until 10am, but they do the breakfast burritos until closing at 2pm. Dont skip this great spot!

Such a fun little bus full of food! The owners are very kind and personable and awesome chefs too…read more The food here is tasty and reasonably priced too, which always makes my experience "that much better". I went with a group of family and friends and got to try a bite or two of various items on the menu. The biscuits and gravy had a nice flavor, it was hard to find the them underneath the heaping of gravy that covers the plate, but having too much food shouldn't be a bad thing. The pancakes were delightful and delicious and huge! I got to try the CrossFit Burrito and boy oh boy that was a winner. It was large and in charge, perfect to cut in half and share--and the homemade salsa topped it off perfectly. I also got a bite of Monte Cristo, not my favorite and it was the most expensive item, but it was alright to try. The bus has a fun atmosphere but it's a little squishy--they do have outdoor seating, but that's no fun when it's pouring rain. Overall, fun and fabulous! I recommend making a pit stop here when you can. TIPS & TRICKS: * Bring your appetite or just share! Again, plenty of food and you'll definitely have leftovers. * You can take your meal to go if you don't have time to have an easy, slow breakfast morning.
