Delicious food, excellent decor, friendly staff. I revisited with friends in February 2025. The owner escorted me to my car in the rain with a huge umbrella.

Enchiladas Verdes were amazing (some of the best green sauce I’ve ever had)!!
We also had the chicken fajitas, highly recommend.

When we come back to this area, we’ll eat here again for sure!

Had to wait over 5 minutes to see any employee and be seated. Very slow service and food is nothing special when you finally get it on your table. There were only about 5 tables of customers when I went. Will not go back!

This was my favorite place to eat but we went tonight and took several minutes before being seated then ate nearly a bowl of chips and not once was asked by a waitress if we would like something to drink take our order or nothing. So we left money on the table without being waited on. WORST SERVICE EVER. WILL NOT BE BACK SO SAD TOO WE LOVED THAT PLACE. SHAME ITS WENT TO THAT LEVEL OF NO SERVICE 🥲 WE HAD BEEN IN THERE OVER 15 MINUTES WAITRESS WALKED BY SEVERAL TIMES AND NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED WE WERE THERE.

Food has no flavor I ask for a dozen tamales to go girl told me 34.50 a dozen lmao I went when they opened thought maybe it is better now no food is terrible gp to lufkin!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see this place being our regular hang out. Love their food!! Service! Price! All worth the stop

I've been buying chips & salsa to go from here for 3 years cause it's the only Mexican Restaurant in this area. I always order a large salsa & queso. Recently, they have went down on their sizes. I'm not happy about it cause it's not even half of what I'm used to getting. I wonder what their small orders of dip look like. Today, I was even more disappointed when I got home. They didn't even give me half a bag of chips & some of them are burnt. On top of that, there waitstaff is not welcoming. The woman didn't even acknowledge me when I came in & looked right me & didn't smile & kept walking. The lady that works the front is nice but that waitress is not. When I asked about the salsa being smaller she just gave me a dirty look. I will not be back. I will drive to Jasper from now on. Very disappointing & not my money's worth.
