I ordered carnita (pulled pork) burrito with red sauce, with side dish of sour cream and guacamole. Glass of ice water.
I have had red sauce from all over the country, East Coast to West Coast. Tried all the red sauce or crap in a jar in grocery stores through out the country.
The red sauce was the best at this restaurant in Pahrump NV. It’s funny you find the best in towns you would have never expected.
The sauce was full of flavor, you can taste the peppers, the earthyness and it was this thick sauce. Red sauce elsewhere, watery, salty and some vinegary. Not this sauce! The waitress says she makes it in-house.
She needs to bottle this up and would love to see it on the shelf.
This sauce would be great for enchiladas, tamales and wet burritos. Even as Taco sauce.
The service was great too with a clean store, 4 stars for atmosphere due to the uncomfortable booths, the seats were worn out, you had no choice but to fall into the pit as the springs were pass their good ol’ days.
Thank you for a wonderful lunch!

This place was a pretty decent find. They are definitely understaffed for wait staff. One person was essentially doing every table in the restaurant. While she was incredibly friendly, the service was very slow.
This all compensates by having very very reasonable and great prices. Compared to other places, this was a big win!
The tacos were good. The steak fries were fine.

After the Death Valley National park hikes day, this was the restaurant to eat well and eat full. I was hungry as a wolf and was worried I will still be… not after the “Bistec ala mexicana” (grilled chopped steak with onions, tomato and pasillo pepper). The portions were beyond generous, kids even had their halves not finished.

My husband went to your restaurant and ordered food to go for both of us 3/5/26. I got 2 cheese enchilada dinner with green sauce (specified) when i opened the foam container it was full to the top and leaking out green sauce, you couldn’t tell what was in it all you could see was green sauce. As I began to pull up a piece of my enchilada to eat I noticed it had red sauce in it. I am very disappointed in the in the quality control that was not there.. I order green sauce because I can’t eat the spices that are in the red sauce so my meal got thrown in the trash. This is not the first time finding red sauce in our meals it also happened at the calvada restaurant. We used to go in on calvada at least once a week, we stopped going there several months ago because of the same problem.. we decided to try again at the one on hwy160. Now we won’t be going back there either. Unless this problem is addressed by mgmt and we get a phone call. It’s a real shame that you have let the quality of your food go down this far. Not expecting to hear from them so we won’t be back..Delia

Usually prefer the original restaurant on Calvada (best fries on the planet!), but the food on 160 this time was great & plentiful, and the service was beyond amazing!
Was catching up with a friend and the server had to come back several times before we even looked at the menu. Her smile and patience never waned. Even our leftovers were tasty!

Not as good as normal. It wasn’t busy. There was four of us. The the food and drinks weren’t as good as normal. The service wasn’t good at all either. Got our drinks after our food. Must have been having a bad night. But something was differently different.

The food was decent. The salsa they brought out with the chips didn’t have much flavor. The service was very slow

My husband & I went for lunch. We shared the chicken fajitas for one. The portions are huge. The fajitas are flavored to perfection. The tortillas are amazing, and the chips & salsa are spot on. The service was wonderful, too.
