Terrific food. Always ask about the special of the day -- it changes constantly and is almost always delicious. Warm, friendly service. Simple little spot that's worth a stop whenever you're in the area. Right off I-94. One poster claimed prices were $18 for vegetarian and that they charge for chips. That has never been our experience. Honestly wonder if they are mixing it up with another restaurant.
Quaint little Mexican restaurant literally run by Mom & Pop. Mom cooks every day, Pop serves. They prepare very good meals, Good sauces, & classic dishes. I've had many very tasty meals here for several years. It's out in the middle of nowhere...yet I gladly drive 40 minutes.

What a hidden gem! We were traveling back from the cabin looking for a sit-down restaurant at an off time of day. We stumbled across this restaurant and truly enjoyed our delicious late lunch.
