“Stopped by for lunch on the go while I was in town for work. The gentleman at the counter let me know they had a Gazpacho soup special and it sounded good on a hot day. I was expecting a blended soup but was surprised to see a chunky cold mix like salsa but it was delicious! Really refreshing and good flavor. Served with a small side of chips. Also ordered 2 enchiladas and they were tasty, chicken and beef were flavorful and light on the cheese. Would visit again when in the area!“
