“The coffee is delicious, the space is cozy and comfortable, and the cause is a good one. What more could you want? Love this coffee shop!”

“I have been going to this place since it was in the house on 7th and I-35. Best TRUE Tex-Mex (or as we always called it, Mexican) food restaurants around. I think this type of food is becoming a lost art when you move away from the Texas border, where it began. People are so much about Fajitas and fancy style Mexican food nowadays, they don't appreciate the traditional flavors. I grew up on the cheese enchiladas with carne sauce. They bring the taco before the rest of the meal. All very traditional and awesome! Mexican Martini's are great and if you haven't tried the lemonade, I highly recommend it! The service is also very good. Glad to see a family owned place like this still thriving in the ever changing Austin landscape. Hope to go there for many years to come!”

“Excellent and consistent the staff is wonderful the food is on point every single time without fail will continue to stop here every time I'm coming through as for the truck stop next to it will never stay here again”

“Great service and awesome food that is always fresh made. Best minnows around and has a nice selection of fishing supplies!!”

“awesome place , don't miss out on the contest for free meal!”

“If you’re looking for authentic Dhaba-style food, this is the place to be! We were traveling from Oklahoma to Louisiana and were worried about the lack of non-chain restaurant options. To our delight, we found this gem—and the food was amazing. We ordered Tandoori Roti, Regular Roti, Baingan Bharta, and Dal Tadka, and everything was packed with flavor. However, the washrooms were quite disappointing, so this is best suited for a food stop rather than a full rest break.”
