“Been coming here since about 2010 and the food is always amazing. Living in Lake Charles I do not get to come as often but me and my husband took my grandma here tonight at the new location. Same great taste and excellent customer service. My husband said this is probably the best Mexican food around and that is high praise coming from a Texas boy. Will most definitely be back!The chunky guac is amazing. We had the spicy burrito, fajita burrito and taco salad. All was amazing!Also our server, Fernando, was great and my grandma really loved the way he joked around with her.“

“My first time eating at a TexMex restaurant. It was quite amazing considering it wasn't Mexican food. The food had its own twist to it. My waitress Hailey G. was so pleasant & very helpful in helping me order. She also made a suggestion which turned out perfect, having a choice of which sauce I preferred, had it on the side instead of over my food. Wise advice for my taste! I plan on going back, the food was great!! I also will suggest having Hailey as my waitress because of her professionalism..“

“When I drive by this place it doesn’t seem like an “authentic” spot for Mexican food. Luckily I was wrong and finally gave it a try. Ordered a torta which came on a light and fluffy bolillo with lots of flavorful ingredients. Also had a Gordita which had a nice crisp texture. The salsa that came with the chips was not spicy, unfortunately but did have a good flavor. The taco salsas have the spice. Service was friendly, just a little slow. Will definitely keep this one in the rotation.“

Used to split the meat choice with 2 al pastor and 2 lengue tacos, until the server occasionally wanted to add an additional charge of $3+ for the beef tongue. A bottle of Jarritos Mandarin is $3.“

Tajadas with Chicken

“This place is a little hidden gem. They make Pupusas and baleadass. The first is similar to an arepa just different style dough, and the later like a burrito. The menu has many choices of meals as well. The food is made fresh, and has always been delish. Prices are great as well. Many people haven't eaten Honduran food, but it's a hand ups food joint. They have some prepared drinks like at Mexican restaurants, horchata and other flavors. Many choices of soda like Mexican Cokes, and lots of flavored sodas including Jarritos. Great experience every time I pick up food. Usually Futbol on the tv. They also sell music cds of vallenatos, and other styles.“

Love the toppings bar, the pico de gallo is good and fresh. Great staff and good in and out dinning.“
