Clean, charming little place off the beaten path with great food and service. I had Huevos Ranchero and it was delicious...with homemade tortillas. Have been here several times when I’m in the area, will be back again.

Great traditional homemade Mexican food. I’m a native Texan and grew up in South Texas so I know what I’m talking about. Also lots of food for the price. Definitely try it out.

This was my first visit and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. My friend Nancy invited me here because she loves their migas. She said I could try something else, but I wanted to try the migas plate and I am so very glad I did. It was quiet enough inside for us to talk shop as she loves to review she visits when she travels for work. I don't speak any Spanish but my friend Nancy is fluent in Spanish and ordered for us. But there are English speaking servers, so don't hesitate to come enjoy the Migas plate.
Very good food service was a little lacking too many customers not enough waitresses but they still got the job done. We're Hispanic so we felt at home here. We will be back the Menudo was very good
