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.

The owners are the most wonderful people and make an effort to see my family and I when we go. I love every single dish I order and it's perfect, true and authentic.

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.

We had not been to this restaurant for a number of years, so we thought we would revisit it. I was shocked by the increase of price on the menu. We went for lunch in the small town, and most of the menu items were around $18. We paid $18 for our vegetarian entrées. We also were surprised that we were charged for the little salsa and chips. Although the food was good, the atmosphere was not great, and the prices were outrageous for the small town vegetarian lunch. Due to this, we will not be returning.
