We had dinner there this past week one night and had a good experience. Parking is all on street parking, but we were able to park about 50 yards from the front door, which is not terrible.We were greeted and seated immediately and our server quickly brought our drinks and menus. The menu has a lot of options and the prices were reasonable. Our order was taken in a timely manner and in an average period of time our food arrived. The portion sizes were large and they were well presented. The food was hot and tasty.While not a complaint, their chips and salsa leave something to be desired. The chips appeared greasy and were very thin and very crispy...almost hard. They were basically tasteless though. The salsa was not real spicy, which is fine with us, but it also was not very tasty. There was nothing wrong with any of that, but we would have preferred different chips and salsa.The restaurant was clean but they tend to post hand written and or typed paper notices on the walls. Sorry, but that is not very appealing. Also, there were boxes of items on the floor around the checkout counter. The decor is very good and quite authentic looking for a Mexican restaurant.Overall, we enjoyed our meal and will be back.

Very small restaurant with great burgers, fries and onion rings. There was a lot to choose from on the menu but we were just looking for a good burger.These guys definitely delivered. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and their prices were decent.We will certainly return.

Having read a review on Tripadvisor, we stopped here for lunch on a return trip from Austin area. The place has limited parking on the front; the service and staff outstanding; and the food exceptional. My wife had cheese enchiladas, which she said were among the best she's had. I had huevos ala Mexicano with their homemade corn tortillas -- excellent. We'll definitely plan a return.

Solid stop on our road trip. Cheese enchilada dinner for three of us and a Chicken Fried Steak for the outcast. Chips and salsa were good, and service was fine. Big glasses of T and the lunch specials at 4.99 put it on the fast food level cheap. Dinner for four for less than $30. I'll take it.

We stopped by late (9:30) on Friday night. The parking lot was packed and we soon found out why. The food was excellent. Typical Tex-Mex with outstanding flavor. There was green and red salsa...both had great flavor. Will eat here again if in town.
