    This has always been my favorite Mexican in town ever since it opened it just gets better and better! The food is done quick enough that you can come in and order in person your to go order and still be able to take it out fresh and hot with you and the family that runs it is so sweet

    This is a perfect place for a quick stop off the US-441. The restaurant is under the roof and partially air open and actually you order from the window and the food will be served. This setup is perfect for covid-19 times. The food is quite good. Be prepared to have cash.

    Small mom and pop authentic Mexican food. I have been going to this spot since they were just a tiny truck and they have a restaurant now with the little truck. Everyone should definitely support these folks!

    There's tacos and these TACOS. This place has TACOS that are delicious especially when it comes to authentic Mexican. My bestie and I will always get an order from this place. It's the best little hole in the wall in town!

    Been here a couple times now and the food is delicious every time! The hibiscus/Jamaica drink is my favorite and I highly recommend it. Friendly service and peaceful atmosphere

    It’s always a great to find such authentic, delicious Mexican food in small towns. The prices here are great, you can get 2 tacos and a big burrito for just $13. The asada, lengua, and pastor are all perfectly seasoned and the workers here are super friendly. Glad to support a business like this.

    Brought my sister from South Texas and she was impressed too. We ordered steak tacos, chicken tacos, the wet burrito, rice and beans and wow, tasted like home. We will be back!

    I rate this 5 stars mainly because there's no reason not to and I don't have any immediate suggestions on what they could do better. But, mainly because they have breakfast tacos. No thrills or frills. ham and egg or chorizo and egg. Not to mention pico de gallo, onions, cilantro, lime and salsa verde you can put on your breakfast tacos. Which in my book makes it the healthiest breakfast in the county by default. I can't think of anywhere else that gives you some type of veggies like that with breakfast. Don't be degenerate and go by expecting anymore than what they're gracious enough to present to you. Edit 3 years later: I never want to get a burrito from anywhere else. This man and his family make the absolute perfect burrito and he deserves all the money we can give him.
