We stopped here for dinner on our road trip from New Orleans to Dallas. It’s a nice restaurant near a highway exit. Right away they bought out the a big portion of freshly made salsa and chips. Husband got Natchitoches Special and I got Fiesta Dinner Special; both portion was huge. I took half of my food to go for leftover for lunch the next day. For what we paid for, it was a great deal. The server was Miguel was very friendly, attentive, took our order quickly and food came out right away. My kids ordered from the kids menu and the older got burrito…good portion size and he liked as he ate all of it. The younger one got nacho or chip with cheese…I didn’t take a picture but it wasn’t what he expected and he didn’t eat much of it. Mexican music playing a little loudly in the background. There is plenty of parking. Would recommend and will come back if/when I am in the area.

We were impressed and quite happy with our food and service at this place. We got there half an hour before closing but the food was still fresh and the servers so genuinely friendly. I loved the decor as well and was also very glad to see them whipping each menu card down I assume to disinfect them. Would be so happy to go back if I ever am around there again.

Just gave this a shot on a short road trip from Dallas, and it was great! Fast service and delicious Mexican food. Really close to the highway but a great alternative to just having to eat fast food too. I’ll keep it on my list if i need to make this drive again!

Wife and I were in town for the weekend for Christmas experience. Saturday night after the fireworks we stopped in here as it was close to our hotel. When we walked in they were extremely busy. We considered leaving but to our surprise we were seated within 10 minutes. From that moment on we watch the staff work like little ants. From the hostess, to the waiter, the buss staff, and the kitchen staff were just all working in such uniseion. Its like they just feed off each other. We didn’t have to wait on anything for long. This entire staff on the evening we came in, 12/20/25, was A++. So wonderful we left a 50% tip.

Great experience. The steak was cooked to perfection topped with the onions.
The guacamole on the side, with the rice and beans and tortillas was unbelievable.
Us truckers love a good hot meal.And we know a good place when we see one.This is a great spot.We’ll see you again thank you

Definitely worth it this was some delicious food. Was ours first time in Natchitoches and Econo Lodge suggested we eat here and we was not disappointed at all. We was stuffed. The salsa was perfect just right seasoning. My husband got the burrito plate. I got the number 19 that was so much food. Neither one of us could eat it all. It was well worth it. They did not disappoint us service and staff was so friendly. We was greeted time we walked in the door greeted when we left, perfect place to go eat.

Food is great, price a little high but seems close to other mexican restaurants. Only issue I’ve had is a server not wanting to give me another order of chips because I wanted to take them with my leftovers for the next day. Spent over $40 on just food for one person and thought it was a bad look by saying I cant have a small order of chips with my leftovers, especially since they are free as long as your there..

The restaurant is full of colors, the service was great, Karina is an amazing server (maybe she needs to relax a little bit, this job it’s not easy, so it’s going to be great for her to save a little bit energy) She payed attention all time.
This night I asked for shrimps, they really tasty, fresh, spicy and flavored, they come with salad, avocado, yellow rice and tortillas (No me gustan las tortillas, y menos envueltas en papel aluminum) and a corona.
A guy brought me chips and a really good sauce, it was stuck in the bottle , but for sure it was good!
The atmosphere was great, however the table was wet
When the time to pay came, my card declined days ago I canceled, so I’ve been waiting for my husband to pay, I realized the food was really cheap, Everything was super affordable $24

The Waiter was very courteous.
However, the food was not that great. My cousin, who was with me could not east her dinner because of a pungent odor either on the fish or the sauce. The waiter realized she couldn’t eat it, and he did not charge her for it. My dinner was ok, except the guac had a dark spot in it and was not fresh. About 3 hours later, I had food poisoning. I spent 2 days holed up in a hotel room because I was so sick. Would not recommend this restaurant.
Music on speakers was way too loud. However, when we asked our waiter, they did turn it down.
