My husband had the steak quesadilla and I had a chicken taco salad. Both tasted great!! The service was excellent and friendly!! This is a nice small restaurant that I would highly recommend!! Their homemade salsa is very good!! My only small complaint would be they do not have beer, yet.

I have been excitedly waiting for this place to open for months now. I work close to the restaurant and see it every day on my drive to and from work. Tonight I asked my oldest child to watch the other kids and took my wife on a much needed adults only dinner date.
The first issue I had was with the drink. I ordered a coke and it had an oily film on the top of the drink.
Chips and salsa were brought to the table. The term salsa is used loosely here. I only know it was salsa because I heard the server tell the table next to us that that’s what it was. I saw another review mention that it’s Honduran salsa but why serve Honduran food at a Mexican restaurant? It was brown and tasted like water. Zero flavor at all.
We ordered queso because who doesn’t love queso? I got excited ( I’m a big ol boy food does that to me) when I saw the size of the bowl they were bringing but the excitement faded when it was set on the table. It was Velveeta and rotel. There ain’t nothing wrong with some Velveeta when I’m going over to Taters house to watch a ball game but even Kraft the company who makes Velveeta will tell you that it has no place in a Mexican restaurant.
Looking at the menu I saw Mexican street corn. I love Mexican street corn but I’m glad I read the description. Mayo, parmesan cheese, and slap ya momma seasoning.
Parmesan cheese is not a substitute for cotija cheese. Same texture but totally different flavor. I decided to pass on that.
I ordered the 3 gorditas with carnitas as the protein. The flavor was decent but the pork was tough. Like real tough.
My wife ordered the fajita mix and it had steak, shrimp, chicken, and for some reason sausage. Not chorizo, this was manda or double D sausage.
Again the flavor was decent but the chicken was 3 tenderloins, the steak was 3 slices about a half inch wide. Thats a bit to large to fit on a tortilla. And while the shrimp looked great, they were pretty under cooked. I’ve never had medium rare shrimp before but judging from my wife’s reaction, it’s going to stay that way for a bit longer.
The side salad that came on the plate with the rest of our food looked like a basic prepackaged lettuce, cabbage, carrot mix that you pick up at a grocery store with a few strawberries, grapes, and craisins thrown on top. The problem here is that it comes with Italian dressing. The dressing got on one of the gorditas on my plate. I thought ” no big deal, maybe the vinegar might work with the fatty pork” but I was wrong. It was inedible.
I was highly disappointed with this dining experience.
To the owners, it may sound like I’m being harsh but we live in a small town full of nice people and most will tell you what you want to hear instead of telling you what you need to hear. I want to see you succeed. Please don’t take this as me bashing your restaurant. That is not my intention at all. I hope that you can gain some insight from my unpleasant experience and use it to improve in the future

Service was absolutely minimal- food was extremely disappointing. How can you mess up fajitas, chips and salsa?! Chips were stale, shrimp was almost impossible to chew, fajita meat was tuff and chewy. Nothing had flavor. No sour cream, no guacamole, no pico de gallo and only 2 tortillas. Sad experience. Will not be back.

Some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had! No veggie options listed but can make a veggie burrito and it is sooo good! Best guacamole as well. Highly recommend!

The fajitas plate was enough for both my husband and me. There was plenty of beef, chicken, and shrimp…plus, since we now live in Louisiana, there was sausage! There were enough peppers and onions to blend with the meat. We recommend either getting the extra bowl of guacamole or the cheese sauce. Going with friends, we each ordered one of them. They went very well with the chips and great tasting salsa they brought beforehand.

The restaurant is small, that allows the waiter and kitchen attention to costumers be a most personalized experience, they take a very good care of their costumers, and the food is very very delicious, and totally authentic, prices are good, nothing exaggerated, the right price for each plate, the kitchen is fast, so is a very good option for lunch if working nearby.

I’ve been rocking with the food since they opened! It’s always so good and fresh! The staff is always friendly and happily ready to give you a recommendation. Queso & green salsa is top tier and the cola is always crisp!
