“The steak fajita quesadilla with rice and beans was excellent. Seasoned and grilled perfectly. Rice and beans were really good too. The salsa verde was fresh, good and a little heat kick. Steak empanadas and chorizo taco really good as well.“

“5/5 stars in EVERY category. We are regulars. And will never not come here. We tell everyone about this delicious hidden gem.

I lived in DEEP South Texas for some time before returning home so I know authentic Mexican food and this is IT.

We drive from McMinnville every Friday or Saturday sometimes BOTH days.

Service is always excellent, our sweet waitresses basically know our order by heart.

The gentleman at the checkout counter is always so kind.

The market has fresh food & many snacks/ treats to get. They also have FRESH tortillas..yum!
