Amazingly delicious home-made Mexican food. Yummy tamales! Super nice family who own and work here.
We are firefighters and came down from Orleans to have something different to eat, and this place is awesome. We have been here three times and definitely recommend this place.
This little Mexican Restaurant is great, been here 2 times and I’m on my second right now. Hunter is one of the waiters there, he’s very good at his job along with the others. Huge appetizers and amazing food. Highly recommend this place.
For being so far from Southern California I doubted this place would be good, I finally went and it's GREAT! Service is friendly, quick, and the food is authentic.
Really good, tasty Mexican food. I had the Chilli Verde lunch and the missus got the meatball soup with a side of refried beans. Everything had flavor, I would highly recommend for a quick bite if your passing thru.
Great place to cool off and get some good food before or after your river trip in Willow Creek. It's near the grocery store and you can get some great food here. The ice cold Negra Modelo on tap served with fresh lime went down so smooth! We loved the salsa and chips as we downed a few beers. The wife ordered the soup served with tortillas and veggies on side delicious and I got the Chimachanga which was one of the best I've had. It was totally stuffed with a huge portion of shredded beef and fried perfectly and covered with guacamole sour cream cheese lettuce tomatoes and man I want another! And another beer too! Great service and a clean restaurant with clean bathrooms that they keep the riff raff out of. Thanks! We will be back!
Wow, authentic Mexican culinary delights...try the grilled cactus and shrimp cocktails...two words... bomb diggity...
Stopped by here for lunch after fishing on the Trinity. Some of the best fish tacos I've ever had! Everyone had great meals. Good portions and good prices. Definitely recommended!
