Best breakfast with many choices. Toasted buttermilk biscuits are great. I can eat their Nopales anyway, everyday, and made how you ask them to prepare.Enchiladas on Thursdays are amazing, 4 varieties including enmoladas. The family environment is most appealing. Don't come here if you're in a hurry. The patience pays off. My parents loved it and so do I.
the staff is efficient and courteous.....the food is wonderful my favorate breakfast place, for dinner try the kiver and onions
Good food and great prices. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Homemade local eatery.
Good food. Would have preferred salsa with the chips instead of Pico de Gallo. Service was slow, as others have said, but I wasn't in a hurry.
The food was pretty good. I had attempted to order the bacon and egg plate but my because my Spanish is horrible and the waiter didn't know much English, I ended up getting a bacon and egg taco which was delicious anyways. Waiter also seemed a little impatient/annoyed but I usually don't care about stuff like that. My partner had gotten the Migas with beans which came with complimentary tortillas. They reported that the eggs were a little bland but I thought they were fine. The refried beans are great and the food is served super fresh. The biggest upside to this place is the incredibly cheap prices. If you come before 11am, you can get a really sick breakfast deal for under $4. It's also a very small, old, cozy restaurant hidden behind a run-down motel with overgrown vegetation surrounding the lazily painted building (I personally think it adds to the experience in a positive way). I'm definitely coming back to try some of the lunch items. Highs: prices, breakfast items Lows (for me): must know spanish (which might be a good thing to maintain authenticity and scare away entitled English speakers and to avoid gentrification) ^^^ just learn the basics and you'll be fine.
Prices are amazing for the portion and taste! I've only had breakfast for take out and I can say their pancakes are the best.
A great mom and pop Mexican and American food place. This place has homemade salsa, mild and hot. The hot definitely has some kick to it. Both are very tasty. Meals are made to order and its obvious from the taste. I has the Chicken Fried Chicken and it was absolutely delectable. Piping hot, perfectly prepared and really delicious. They will serve it with either brown gravy or the other kind. I went back and had the Chile Rellenos. Again they were piping hot and perfectly prepared. Delicious!! They will make them either just with cheese or with beef. A great place to eat with very good service and a relaxed environment.
