Food was good. We had the pollo texano and a lunch burrito special. Salsa was good but the chips were pretty thick. Service was great and very friendly. Gave kids balloons.
We had a friend recommend this place we showed up with no clue on what we wanted. We asked the server for a recommendation. He recommended the burrito rip and it was incredible. There's enough cheese sauce from the top of the burrito pulled up around it that you could finish off everything with chips in the end and it was great.
As a seasoned cross-country traveler, this town is very fortunate to have such a gem. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere.
This restaurant is amazing!! Our food was delicious! All of the staff are super helpful and friendly! My husband and I ate here two nights in a row after we found this place!
Definitely felt authentic! Love the food! Never had soup before from a restaurant and I highly recommend it! It's the chicken one, forgot the name of it! Gotta try this place!
We are here on our way from KC to Springfield. It was not busy and the service was great! The lunch fajitas and the taquitos were very good (would recommend) the beef taco was only just fine.
The best value Mexican! Great portion sizes, fresh and tasty. Good service and nice size booths to sit in. Margaritas are huge! The shrimp is fantastic value and you can make your own tacos from the shrimp plate. Chips and salsa refills. Highly recommend!
Great food! I have never had a negative experience with service! Good chips and salsa. Specials are a steal.
Good food at great prices. Best of the best was the “Special dinner” (a little of everything), two plates full of tasty food. Kitchen was awesome, we were a party of seven - the kitchen cooked our food and it was brought out to so exceptionally quickly. All very hot, and looking and tasting great. Our visit didn’t start the best, we arrived and stood in the entry around three minutes before being acknowledged and the place was nearly empty, unsure what took so long. We were seated and 10 minutes later we were asked for our orders, after which chips were brought to the table. Finally, we requested very spicy salsa and were told they had it and would bring it out; it was never brought out.
I tried the tostada de ceviche for the first time and was impressed with how fresh it was. It was served cold which was great on a 95 degree day. The Burrito Rio Grande is a family favorite. It (as it's name indicates) is large and hearty. It's great to share! We like it with just the cheese sauce on top. The fajita quesadillas are also delicious.
