Food was okay, but too many flies and the place was grungy. The "lemonade" was koolaid or some other powdered drink mix and on top of that it was really watered down. Buy some frozen concentrate, especially if you are going to charge nearly $2. Chili Peppers, just down the road had better food, better prices, and was much cleaner... More

We ate here for lunch. What a pleasant surprise. The food was fresh, hot and well prepared. You must order the guacamole! One of the best I've ever had. I ordered the chili relleno with rice and beans. Again, right on the mark. My friends ordered the fajitas and a hamburger. They too, we're very impressed. I highly recommend this... More

The place felt cramped with just a few families present. After visiting, the bathroom, felt like it was not clean. We liked the guacamole and hot sauce, but our meals were just so, so. No alcohol but you can bring your own beer! More

I haven't personally visited this establishment, but, it came highly reccomended to us by at least half a dozen locals, young, old, every walk of life, so I can only assume it is authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine?? Will certainly try it next time in Big Bend area. More

I decided to try this little restaurant because of the reviews on here and I was not disappointed! Tiny little place with great food! I had the green enchiladas, they were awesome! The folks were friendly ..kinda reminded meof being in someone's kitchen...while they whipped you up some lunch. The value for the money was good. Don't let the outside... More
