“Their menu is the most diverse of Stillwater's Mexican restaurants. Friendly staff and Large portions. Their Refried beans are more flavorful than most I've tried.

Parking: Easy to find a handful of vegetarian options. Has corn and wheat tortillas interchangeable. Excellent tamales with mole.“

“Very good tacos. Super good customer service! 3.50 for any kind of taco. They have birria tacos, steak tacos, barbacoa tacos, chicken tacos. Can't wait for the summer menu to see what they have. The El pastor tacos were my favorite. Chicken tacos are made healthy , are low fat -and are tasty .i have not tried the birria tacos. They also have horchata drink and sometimes iced Tea Hisbiscus which is absolutely bomb for the summer. This is my new place to go for tacos. Add some beans and sour cream to the your order and it's a wrap! Also the do have FRESH Elote, which is corn on a stick ( like the state fair) with crema, spices, and cheese coated on it throughout. This place beats the Mexican places I went to on the West Side which were using frozen damaged corn.

Dietary restrictions: The way they do the chickentacos is very healthy and low fat from what I seen and tasted.“

“Still a great spot but why did you guys get rid of the self checkout? It’s so much slower to order now during peak times. The menu changes too often as well, which is frustrating. I really liked the platter back in January 2025 and the sweet potato fries!“

Stopped by this evening and the drive through window was staffed by a pleasant young man whose level of customer service was totally textbook style.

Ryan Winager, you probably don't realize it. Your pleasant demeanor made our day as you offered us water while we waited for our order. The service with a genuine smile on your face totally exceeded our expectations. Thank you!“
