Such a beautiful clean restaurant! We both order the luncheon taco salad with quick service. It's…read morea drive for us but whenever in Deridder this is my go to place.

Extremely disappointed with our experience. We ordered the beef fajitas, and what was served looked…read morenothing like fajita meat. Instead of sliced steak, the plate was filled with fat, cartilage, and very little actual meat. The texture and flavor were unlike any beef fajitas I've ever had, and we genuinely questioned whether we had been served the wrong cut of meat. We politely brought it to the staff's attention because we couldn't eat it. Instead of replacing the meal or removing it from the bill, we were still charged $41 for the meat. Being expected to pay full price for a dish that was mostly inedible was incredibly frustrating. We weren't asking for a free meal, we simply expected the restaurant to stand behind what they served and make it right. Unfortunately, they didn't. If this is what your restaurant considers beef fajitas, customers deserve to know before spending their money.

The food was delicious. We had queso, steak tacos, beef nachos and chicken fajitas. Their salsa is…read moregood too. Our server was so sweet and quick with everything. The atmosphere was like a little "hole in the wall" restaurant, but everyone was friendly.

Food is exceptional, I have been chasing a feeling and have never been satisfied until now. You…read moreknow that feeling when you experience "The Best" and it ends up imprinting on you more than you think? When I was a young lad on the coast of San Diego, there was a little shop called "Bull Taco" Where the surfers after exhausting themselves frequent. The softest corn tortillas, the tastiest asada. With a balanced spicy salsa. When I had that taco I didn't know I would be chasing that taco feel 15 years later. But I tell you, today on June 15th 2026, all is well. When I eat this food I am reminded of a simpler time, when my most important problem was the heat of the salsa. When I experience the food here I am taken back (You know like that scene in Ratatouile) to being a young Mayan child - I have no Latin roots - I have just came back from playing that ball game they play with their hips. And my mother has prepared me a meal that will not only restore my body but eases my spirit. You might be saying to yourself this dude is smoking crack. YES I am but still the food here is delicious. I can taste the history in the beans and salsa. I can feel the mastery of flavors. Whoever is in the back is not a cook but an artist. An artist who has studied their craft. This food raises questions like "Who are you?". "What are your desires?" and it clarifies with a statement I AM FOOD WITH A RICH HISTORY. The hardest part of life is recognizing the beauty around us. Imagine if you had a neighbor who was super chill and never imposed on you and was always helpful but you never initiated a conversation or got to know each other better. Imagine you never stopped to smell the roses, or eat Centenarios tacos. I am not saying this taco will change your life. I don't think food has the ability to do that. But I will say I miss my mom, I am a long way from home. This food eases that pain.

When I walked in today I've never seen the self serve sign, while reading it an older lady came up. I asked her about the sign just to double check I wouldn't just seat myself and be rude. She just stared at me and my husband. I asked again no reply just I blank stare, so he asked and got a reply..... After she had to have noticed since she was very short and never checked on us or to refill water, mind you there is two other tables, not a packed house two other tables that had been already served. Idk how to feel because we came to celebrate my husband, and we couldn't even get proper service.

No music but lively, friendly chatter all around. Fresh chips and salsa were brought to the table, and I thought it a nice touch that everyone got their own salsa to dip in. I ordered a mix of tacos and was very happy the restaurant accommodated this. The pastor was okay but the birria was way better than I expected. The hot sauce paired nicely but could've been spicier in my opinion. The rice and beans were so delicious that I swear I blinked and they were gone. Price point was excellent as well--Loved this place!
