This place seems to have a loyal cult following. Many of the folks sitting in there seem to be friends and family. In fact, one person visiting said he’s brought his kid there since she was two. And they live in Smithville which isn’t close by.
The chorizo was very tasty. The refried beans are chunky in a good way. We will have to come here again and try their tacos

A beautiful homey sit down restaurant. A true family ran establishment. The foods pretty good too. Starting off this place has two different salsas options, that’s a huge quality change. You can get mild or hot, most places only have a singular option. Service was golden, waitress was timely, attentive and efficient.

I have been going to this restaurant for my whole life. The family is amazing and the food is constantly the best American Mexican around. Best hand pinned tacos in town!!!

I don’t understand why this place has such high ratings. Nothing was good. The chips were greasy, broken, and you get charged after the first tiny basket. The salsa was not good…either one. Mild is too sweet and hot just taste like tomato soup. I ordered chicken flautas. I couldn’t even eat it they were so dry. It was tortilla fried like the chips filled with a hard lump of dry chicken. The sauce and sour cream didn’t make it edible. My partner got the pork burritos. Not allowed to get different meat choices for each burrito without a crazy upcharge so he got all pork. They were pretty bland and the pork was dry but had enough sauce to be edible. The kids were not happy with their food either (hotdog and kids enchilada). To top it all off we paid $50 for two adult and two kid meals that basically no one liked at all. I am so disappointed with this experience.

Food poison from the beef last night (8-10).Tacos were very bland. Friendly staff. Fried ice cream was nothing special. The special was a good deal though. $8 for three items.

The waitstaff is amazing!! Angela is fantastic! And I’ll admit the hand pinched taco was tasty! (Beef with parm) The house frozen margarita was incredibly sweet. Which I like, but the alcohol is very light. And from here on out, just NO.
The waitstaff and busser is the only reason they got 2 stars!
Do not walk, run! The salsa was interesting. It was okay and had carrot bits in it. Odd, but I like to try new things. I got the spinach dip. The large. The most disgusting dip I’ve ever had. It tastes like the cheese was the cheapest they could find and I couldn’t tell if the spinach was from a can or a cheap frozen brick. Other than that it was beyond bland. There was an odd taste I’ve had before but I couldn’t even eat 1/8 without the margarita. (And sadly I will gorge on cheese dip.) So, no to the salsa, no to the spinach cheese dip, and the chips are eh. The frozen margarita, was really weak, definitely not worth $6, but sweet if that’s how you like it. I do. The pinched taco… okay, I really enjoyed that! The waitstaff – someone needs to poach them!!! This place doesn’t deserve them.
Edit:
The frozen margarita, I still stand by that it is sweet, but I have more of a buzz than I realized. So the alcohol’s just kind of hidden. I will say I would indulge in another frozen Margarita here.
The “busser” I referred to, come to find out, is the manager. Not expected, but he was a hard worker, great personality, friendly, and very welcoming.
I will admit, he said several people commented on the dip saying it tasted weird and took it off no issues or real questions.
I personally don’t plan on coming back. But if they were slow and I was bored and wanted to chat with the staff, I would eat a taco and have a margarita. If you live close by, and love to support Mom and Pop places as I do, I say give it a try and leave your experience on here. Maybe I just caught them on a really off day. Or maybe I’m a little spoiled. ♀️

Great authentic Mexican restaurant in Claycomo!! I went for Taco Tuesday when their tacos are only $1.25 each. Their tacos are prepared “pinned” and are awesome!! The salsa and chips came out still warm!! They have an extensive menu but I always seem to stick with the pinned tacos. The Mexican chili is also excellent!!
They are also open for breakfast. I highly recommend the bacon and chorizo breakfast burrito with white queso on top!!! Delicious!! The restaurant has been run by the same family for 55 years!!

Arrived for an early dinner and had hot fresh chips right out of the fryer with white queso and when they say large they mean large. Ordered the tacos and they did not disappoint, sometimes considered puffy tacos. These were deep-fried shells with your choice of cheese shredded cheddar or parmesan or both if you like.

Amazing food. Amazing service. This is my new breakfast spot. Chips and hot sauce before breakfast get me going for the day. And Larry is one of the nicest people ever. He’s has such a great spirit. You can’t go wrong eating the food here.

I haven’t eaten here in over 20 years. But I grew up in the northland & decided to get some take out tonight for the nostalgia. I just picked it up 10 minutes ago & look at it! Have you ever seen a more disgusting box of food? Burnt beans, burnt rice & stadium nacho cheese? That’s supposed to be a burrito, an enchilada, a tostada, beans & rice. Online ordering was fine, staff was nice at pickup, but the food is completely inedible. I’m not the type to go back & ask for a refund, but I will never go anywhere near this place ever again. I honestly can’t believe they would serve this to people.
