Friday night was busy but the service was good. Had to send an enchilada back because it was cold but the steak burrito was good.

I love this place! Salsa is so good, service is great! I always share a fajita with my husband and we love it all. We enjoy the atmosphere and the parking lot is always clean.

I asked for Tito's, club soda, and lime. The server brought me a SIXTEEN OUNCE glass full of club soda with ONE SHOT of Tito's in it. Seriously. He brought the drink and it sat on the table...

We really liked this place. We're in town for two weeks and are here twice. Chips and salsa were great, though I'd say salsa was tuned for gringo tastes. I had chili Colorado the first time....

Who knew you would be able to find authentic Mexican food in a town like this? I mean, for real, who knew? This was my first visit to this area, but I took a cue from the others that had visited...

Own this business?
See a problem?
