It doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is great! I went with my mom and sister who only like very traditional American food. My mom had a chicken wrap and my sister had a grilled ham & cheese on sourdough with fries. They were all very good and the fries were dynamite!!
I prefer food with lots of flavor and half of this restaurant's menu is Mexican, authentic Mexican. I had chilaquiles with eggs and beans - they were awesome! 3 different salsas were offered so you can get whatever level of spice you want. I am definitely going back!

A friend recommended this place to me and it did not disappoint!! It was the perfect place to bring my kids. They enjoyed having pancakes for lunch while I got to eat authentic Mexican food. Win win!!! Everything was delicious.

Great breakfast, and it's served until the early afternoon. Mix of American diner food and a taqueria. Big portions for big appetites. Service was a bit slow but the place was extremely busy at the time so it was understandable. Prices for breakfast are great. Highly recommended, stop in if you're hungry.

We love coming here. The service is great and they welcome my baby and are respectful. They have a baby changing station in the women's restroom. It's lovely.

This was my second visit and just like first visit for lunch, breakfast today was awesome. Pancakes taste homemade. The biscuit and sausage gravy was excellent. The eggs were cooked perfect. Over medium can be a challenge for some but these were awesome. The atmosphere is 50's style dining. But what a lot of people don't know is the Sparky's is part of the Mexican side and the grocery store. All same awesome people. I recommend this place to all ages.

Service was a bit disjointed in execution but once we got locked on to one of the staff all went well from there. Son
reports best tamales ever. Food overall excellent. Restaurant clean and reasonably priced. It made our return to list as did the adjoining Mercado TC.

Wonderful American and Mexican classics here at a fair price! Highly recommend the sizzling fajitas - they are what Chili's used to be in the 80s for a lot less.

This cozy little Mexican diner blew us away. The food was incredibly flavorful and filling—my breakfast burrito was delicious, and my husband’s migas locas were packed with bold, comforting flavor. It was so good, we went back the next day to split the steak fajitas for lunch, and they were juicy and perfectly seasoned.
The salsa selection was top-notch, and the authentic Mexican Cokes were a fun touch. Plus, the coffee was some of the best I’ve had in ages. Amazing service too—our drinks were always full, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Affordable, authentic, and absolutely worth a visit!

We were quite disappointed. Coffee had an odd flavor. Hot dog was extremely salty. Slow service.
