The food here is spectacular. The carne asada plate is packed with deep, savory flavor. The chili relleno and bean burrito are comforting perfection. The gratis 3 alarm salsa chips pack a powerful kick. The drink menu steals the show. The Calaca Negra beer is thirst quenching nectar. You must order the Margarita Catrina--it is completely insane! Do not miss this local gem when you are in town.

Hubby ordered the bean and beef burritos which were good but not as flavorful as the enchiladas. Rice was a bit too tomato-y for my taste but I think it is more authentic for this region.

Only concern was the restrooms, toilets had dark rings in the toilet and the floors were pretty gross.

The reviews were solid so we called in an order about 30 mins before we were going to arrive in Del Norte. The location is right off the main road. We got there and the food was ready and hot. We opted to eat right then and the server couldn't have been nicer! I have a couple enchiladas aficionados. One ordered chicken with red sauce and the other cheese with Christmas. The green sauce was tomatillo based, and a perfect compliment to the red. Both plates came with rice and beans that were devoured in 10 mins. My kid and I shared the carne asada plate and loved every bite. The meat was tender and it came with beans, rice, guacamole and tortillas (corn or flour). There's a salsa bar with a few different types of salsas that were great to add to our asada bites. I'm thankful we made the choice to try them. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean. We will be stopping everytime we drive thru!

The ladies split the chilaquiles, and declared them excellent. The guys had the chorizo breakfast burrito, which was tasty, but with a bit too much cheese and a bit too much chorizo for the mix (which may be just my taste). The green chili served over the burrito was quite nice. SERVICE: Tony (I presume) was friendly and helpful. Service was a little slow -- he seemed to be juggling a lot -- but we weren't in a great hurry. AMBIANCE: It's not posh. Based on the sign, it's been there for decades. But it's clean and straightforward. NET-NET: Good food, decent surroundings and service. If opportunity presents, we'll definitely be back.

All four of us did the buffet. There is a good variety of options there, from starters, entres, and…read moredesserts (actually, tons of desserts). However, the labeling is atrocious and it's often hard to tell what each item is (like, the churros were labeled as tacos). I think they are just always shifting things around, so they must have trouble keeping up with things. I wish they had a bit more variety of vegetables for the buffet that aren't part of a final dish (like in an enchilada). It's mostly just meats there. A few of the things seem a bit suspect, too. The smaller make-your-own tacos have sad looking ground beef and "queso." But I guess that's to be expected at the "American style" taco part of the buffet. I see that some reviews have mentioned there being grilled veggies, but that was not around on the day we were there. I'm not sure if that's a part of the menu you can order from, or if there's just that much variety in what they offer day-to-day. What's not to be missed, though, and it very good, are the fresh tortillas and made-to-order street tacos. Very yummy. I could just eat the tortillas all day. Best of all, everyone there is very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. If the labeling were a bit better and some more vegetables (beyond salad), I think it would be 5 stars. As is, I'd give it 4.5.
