“ Normally I get fajitas from here. This time around I got the steak fajita nachos. They were not bad, I give it a 7/10. I also ordered a Long Island iced tea & it was great. The server was very attentive and kind! ”
“ Outstanding food, I had two tostadas they were amazing ”
“ Authentic, authentic, authentic. Been wanting to go for a while. Based on the high ratings and word of mouth. Best around. Very reasonable prices. Their basic salsa and chips is fantastic which is so important since everybody gets it. Enjoyed a margarita and chicken burrito. Great service, quick, tasty. ”
“ A rare family owned and run restaurant, that actually cares about their food! Yes it's in a gas station, and seating is limited, They are at their best when you go off menu and let them flex to your style. The owner mixed up custom salsa for us once. Don't try that at a chain. Highly recommended ”
“ Honestly this is some of the best Mexican food in the area for the price. You really can’t beat it. Though interactions with staff have always been awkward in my case, I’m not sure why. It feels like when I walk in I wasn’t supposed to. There’s no one at the door to greet you, or ask what you’re there for. I often have to go the bar to pick up my food which doesn’t make much sense to me. It’d be much easier if food was kept where the host or hostess WOULD be at. Other than that though their food is amazing. You’re missing out if you haven’t tried it! (I’ve only been during non-busy times so that may be my issue w the previous things I stated.) ”
“ Been coming here a couple years now since we moved in our home which is 5 minutes away. Always great service. The owner and his wife are always personable and nice to me my wife and daughter. Food always fresh and tasty. They have some of my favorite tamales! I also come with my sister from time to time. They know great customer service. I had a mishap with my order last night and they immediately rectified the situation with no hassle. Owner came up to me and spoke about it even. I appreciate that. Handmade cocktails. Reasonably priced. I always get the cucumber margarita mixed with the Jalapeno marg and it's a perfect mix. Highly recommend. ”
“ We really enjoyed our dinner here. The fresh guacamole was great & my skinny margarita (hold the OJ) was perfect. The food came out fast, and our server was attentive and friendly. We will be back. ”
“ Celebrated my wife's birthday with the family. Food and service were top notch. Great selection for everyone from Nana and Pop to the smallest of grandchildren. This is a family owned business and is very welcoming. ”
