While the vegetarian options weren't vegan, they were happy to accommodate. The burrito was great, can't wait to return

I think this restaurant is a hidden gem! Their chicken soup is absolutely delicious, and the nachos con chorizo are a standout. The margaritas are also top-notch. While the decor might be a bit retro, it adds to the warm, family-like atmosphere. I highly recommend giving them a try – you won't be disappointed!

Wow... So happy my family took me here during my visit. Texas Fajitas were so flavorful. Even the table tortilla chips were so light and fresh. My margarita was awesome too. Thank you

The food was very good. Service was a bit slow.

On the night we were there, a radio show was live on site. Not music, just noise. It was very loud and distracting.

Just had a great meal and a great experience here. Andrea took care of me and was very courteous and welcoming. I had the lunch fajitas plus small queso. The salsa is really good, just the right heat for me. I can't believe I've never been here, but I'll be back! It's a beautiful place that has a separate bar and lots of room if you want to bring a crowd. The owner said she has been in business there 28 years..
