"Great authentic Mexican food like we used to have the 20 years we lived in Texas. Their website isn’t great. The online menus is not helpful & you can’t order online, but the staff is wonderful when you place take out orders. These people were our go-to through the pandemic. Really nice place to eat at the restaurant, too. Try the fried ice cream for dessert!! Highly recommend."

"I like this place. It's a bit rough on the outside and the food is served on sterofoam, but the food is made fresh and is very reasonably priced. I like the shrimp burrito with rice and beans."
