I order a tostada and i could not believe how small Portion of meat on my tostada it was covered with alot of beans and Shredded meds and cheese I barely had meat on. I didn't wanna say anything since I was on work related lunch .The waitress was overly rude and slow.

Great prices and variety! We came on Margarita Monday and got discounted margs, cheese dip and dinners. I thought it was yummy and great portion sizes to go with the pricing.

$$ We've looked around for a nice Mexican restaurant, and we really like this place. For those of us who have been in the area for a while, the building is an old Pizza Hut, so you can't miss it! It has a decent size menu, the portions are good, and prices are reasonable. It has a great rustic atmosphere and, albeit small, does have a full bar inside. There's something for everyone on the menu. They even have a kid's meal if you bring the little ones along. Although it's a great place for families, not sure if highchairs are available. There is a small fireplace in the middle of the restaurant and it's amazing how much is put in such a limited space. There are big screen tvs on the walls so good chance a popular sporting event is being shown. The waitstaff is very friendly and pleasant and guaranteed you'll leave there happier than when you arrived. It's easily accessible from Northwest Highway (US 14) but the parking lot a bit quirky where the entrance is driveway immediately west of restaurant and all spots are angled as you enter but to exit, you pull to the back of lot, turn around, and exit out the same way you came in. All in all, this place is worth checking out. You won't be disappointed.Parking: The parking is adequate for the restaurant but during busy times, could be a bit tight. Also same driveway, immediately west of restaurant, is used for both enter and exit even though angled spots are accessed on entering.Wheelchair accessibility: The curb and entrance is level for chair access, but the entrance itself is manual operation and someone in a chair will need someone to hold door open. If dining solo, it is easy to call restaurant and surely someone can come out and open door.

4 of us went to dinner and definitely enjoyed the experience. A great menu and food was delicious, we all enjoyed what we had. Large portions as well. Our Waiteperson was attentive even though she was very busy. The tables and chairs need to be replaced and seating was too close together.

We used to frequent this place often, enjoying their amazing food. However, our recent visit was disappointing; the food quality has significantly declined. On our last visit, the plain tacos I ordered for my 7 and 4-year-olds were served with reheated and burnt meat, making the experience unpleasant. Sadly, we won't be returning to this once-cozy place.

Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere. I'm surprised I asked for some sauce to go and they included the sauce in my bill. Although other restaurants don't do

Lengua tacos were tasty. Tripe tacos, not so much. Churros we’re warm and fresh and came with ample whipped cream, chocolate syrup and cherries.
