The queso, salsa, & chips were good.
The margaritas were 2 for 1, which is always a huge plus. Husband got house margarita & I got a mango one. Both good. I got the Birria tacos which were very good. Husband got carne asada – it was maybe 1/8” thick, and well done. He said it tasted like liver, and it looked like a thin slab of ham. Definitely would not order it again. We had heard the owners used to be affiliated with the old El Toro, and it had excellent carne asada so he had really been looking forward to that but it was definitely not like that one used to be.
Worth going, but don’t get carne asada.

Located at Exit 85 South in the pre-tornado Pizza Hut building, just right off I-20, and I mean RIGHT THERE if you were heading East. Ate at 1:30pm on a Monday. Only 3 people in the place. Service was fast. I ordered 2 of the Street Tacos Padrino and the Burrito Hidalgo plate dinner. The cook was fast. I am on a low salt diet, so was pleased that I had to add a dash of salt to each taco. They were quite good. But the chili con carne on the burrito was a little salty for me, but OK for most folks. Chips were no salt as well which paired nicely with the salsa. Salsa had a unique flavor, similar to what I have had in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Las Vegas, New Mexico. I think they use poblano peppers in it, plus a dash of cumin. It tasted very good, also very fresh. Refried beans and rice were standard issue, nothing great but nothing bad. Monster sized iced tea was $3.

Food was good and had good flavor. Service was great and plentiful. The price was excellent for food that we got. It’s close to I-20 and has plenty of parking. Recommend!

Service was good. Salsa lacked flavor but was ok. Can’t complain since it was complimentary. I tried the mexican guacamole and it came with tons of onions! Tons! And the avocado was just cut into chunks/cubes. It wasn’t your normal guacamole so I had to mash the avocado myself to make it into guacamole. It was too onion-y though. We also had queso dip which was good.
For the entree, I ordered the shrimp chimichanga, which comes with rice, beans, and fixings. The rice was delicious (ordered double rice, no beans).
My biggest complaint is: the shrimp in the chimichange were not properly cleaned/deveined. Still had the poop lines which was . My mom had shrimp nachos and her shrimp weren’t properly deviened either.
Please de-vein the shrimp prior to serving!!

The food was absolutely delicious and so well priced. Everything was cooked perfectly, rice was a little greasy but still had great taste. Got pork, steak, and quesabirria tacos. It’s an absolute must go if you pass it!!

Best Mexican food I’ve ever had! Everything was super tasty, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff is so friendly and makes you feel right at home. Great vibes, great food — can’t wait to come back!

I ordered the lunch fajitas on Door Dash. Everything was nasty. The tortillas and the shrimp were missing. The chicken and steak was overcooked. I had to add seasoning just to try to consume the food. Luckily I had tortillas at home because how do you send fajitas without any tortillas? Never again.

We decided to go there without looking up the menu and honestly we just weren’t impressed or intrigued by anything on the menu. We ended up just finishing our drinks and leaving. It took a while for or waiter to come around and there was only us and another table occupied. Just don’t be surprised when you have a 4% charge at the register, made our two drink (a Dr Pepper and a Modelo in the bottle) $11! That’s insane.

Not you’re typical Tex Mex, very Authentic Mexican food. You can’t get this type of Fresh Seafood (Aguachiles) which I’ve only found in Texas. Very well seasoned meats, and so juicy! Portions are very generous at a great price, and service was Above, and Beyond always very attentive. Great atmosphere, Beautifully decorated love the colors.
