Ate here on the recommendation of a local. Funky little place with a family feel. Service was immediate and friendly. Ordered the beef enchiladas with queso. Came out quickly and hot. Nice flavor and not overly spicy. Reasonably priced and tasty. What more does one need in a restaurant?

Stopped for lunch while on business in Texas. Busy little restaurant at the side of the I-10. Lots of daily specials and tasty home cooked feel mexican food. Quick and attentive service but can get busy for lunch. There were people waiting for tables later on during the lunch period. Well worth a stop.

We were here for the last night of a conference, and went out with a medium size group on a Sunday evening. Great food, drinks, service & all-around experience. Our server (Nicole M), was very attentive, funny, and not phased at all by the complicated payment situation at the end. All the food came quick and right, and everything was hot and tasty. Drinks were very good, and the atmosphere was fun and interesting. Due to fairly high turnover, the floor was wet and needed a really good mopping - this was really the only complaint. There was a creamy spicy chip dip as an alternate to the usual salsa that was addictive! Would definitely visit again.
