I can't believe I'd waited so long. First of all the service is suuuuper friendly. I love the old school decor and the walls lined with the history of this place. Now the food. I tried a double cheeseburger, tator tots, a ham and cheese sandwich, patty melt, AND a chili burger within a span of two days. I guess I'm just intrigued by what gives this joint its longevity. Perhaps if I eat here everyday, I too will absorb some of this longevity. I dunno if fast food works that way. All of the food I've mentioned is super good. The tots are crispy, the burger is tasty and well proportioned, and the ham and cheese sandwich was carefully prepared by a true expert. The patty melt though. I can't even recall the last time I ate a patty melt. But it came out piping hot which I really appreciate about this diner. I can hear the meat sizzling as I wait. A few minutes later, I receive a sandwich with bread beautifully buttered to perfection. I take a bite and THEN decide to peek at its contents. My heart melts like the cheese in this sandwich. Why do I feel this way? Double cheese. She made my patty melt with slices of cheese on BOTH sides of the patty. And it had the delicious grilled onions just kicking yumminess into each bite! But DOUBLE cheese was not expected and to experience this made me happy. I am proud of accomplishing the act of eating this delicious sandwich. I think I should try bigger tasks. This will be the moment I start. After this food nap... maybe.

One area that could use improvement is accessibility. While I'm not a wheelchair user, I do use a cane, and I found it frustrating to maneuver around the dining room because the tables are placed so close together. I also noticed that the self-service drink station would be difficult, if not impossible, for many wheelchair users to access comfortably. A few changes to the layout would make the restaurant much more welcoming and accessible for people with a variety of mobility needs. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the excellent food and hope to see accessibility improvements in the future.

The oldies jams are still in play and keeping the vibe upbeat. I've never been in here tearing up because that forbidden broken heart love song came on at the wrong time. I've been doing burgers and shakes and new flavors of ice cream and I'm discovering that chocolate ice cream and its many descendants are quite delicious. For example I beta tested the Kentucky Fudge Pecan Pie in a baby sized cup and found that I love it! I also reaffirmed that I have zero allergic reaction to pecans. Furthermore, I discovered that pie crust bits in ice cream are flipping fantastic and something I will include in my extensive list of things I am thankful for come this November's Turkey holiday. Props to the Ice Cream expert whom I had been told crafts these flavors in house. Is it some kind of Ice Cream elf? Maybe. That doesn't even matter. Who or whatever is making this delicacy is doing a great job at creaming this ice with fantastic flavor and ruining my ability to drop this final 4 lbs I'm trying to shed. Try it out and enjoy this wondrous thing! But be warned... the pecans may contain nuts. UPDATE: I just discovered that they offer TATOR TOTS! It should be known just by looking at me that tater tots are my favorite means of delivering potatoes to my belly. This delivery process is further expedited by spooning steaming hot chili and shredding cheese over it. They've titled an entire movie after how I eat chili cheese tots. "Gone in 60 Seconds". I devoured it voraciously and it disappeared. I don't know how it tasted because it was immediately absorbed once it appeared on the counter. I'm sure i enjoyed it though. Try it yourself and let me know if it is good. I am not reliable in this instance.

You're greeted very warmly as soon as you enter, and the hospitality continued through the entire visit.

They also serve alcoholic beverages, with a decent offering. The price to portion ratio is spot on! If you're ever in Owensboro, Kentucky, and you're in the mood for Mexican food, this is your spot!

Ordered a Greek salad expecting a blend of lettuce. Instead I got a spinach salad, as seen in the…read morephoto. I had already left the store, so when I called back and told them I was disappointed as the menu had advertised "a blend" the manager told me "it depends on what we have in stock that day. Some days it's more one lettuce than the other." So I guess that means if they have a ton of leftover spinach that's all you're getting. Plus the price was around $10 and that doesn't include a drink, side or anything. This happened in April and I contacted the business right after I left. The manager was not very pleasant to speak with- she offered no resolution and tried to say "that's just how it is." Essentially even though the menu promises "a mix of blended greens, romaine, etc., sometimes we have more left over than the other so some days it's more spinach than the other greens." But as you can see from the photo the salad was literally just a spinach salad with no other greens mixed in. After several minutes of back and forth they begrudgingly offered to come back and remake it but I was only in town visiting for a couple days so I didn't have time for that. The main problem though was the attitude that I received from speaking to the business. It wasn't helpful or even kind, it was irritated.
