I have eaten here a few times and I am amazed that I have tried something different every time and I am blown away ever time. They are great with take-out, but you can’t beat the service and smiles while you dine in. Highly recommend- every breakfast lunch and dinner has been so good and flavorful

Pleasant surprise of wonderful food and extremely nice staff. Each bit of food was delicious from the salsa to the enchiladas. The lemonade was perfect, not too sweet. I will be eating here again very soon!

I happened upon this cozy little family restaurant by accident. I looked over and said "I'm hungry why not?". Best decision ever. The food came fast and the chips and salsa are amazing. Great little restaurant!!!

From the outside it isn’t appealing, & looks like a convienence store. But on the inside, nice decor, friendly staff. The food was very good. Salsa seemed homemade & very tasty, hot chips cold salsa. Beef fajitas were smoking hot & tasty, rice was good as were the charro beans. The mini tacos were excellent as well. I highly recommend eating here.

Stopped in mid-morning, first-time visit. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was very nice and comfortable, and the service was superb. This was a very pleasant surprise and I highly recommend. Apologies about eating half the food before taking photo, but the food compelled immediate attention.
