“ We have friends that eat there every Wednesday night. Just as we do. However a few weeks ago, one of their Managers-Jamie (sp ?) told them that they had to leave! Why? Because they had been in their booth - too long! They were visiting, ordering drinks, ordering food & probably more drinks. They left & have not been back. They, as are we, long time customers. Since their opening in 1999. Is this how she treats customers?? ”
“ We had a great dinner here shortly before they closed. Plenty of tvs to watch the football game. Great server, quick and friendly. Pepsi products were a major plus for me. Soft tacos bogo on Thursdays and $1 off enchiladas. My chicken enchiladas and rice were yummy. My husband preferred the beef tacos to the chicken tacos. Chips and salsa are yummy and complimentary. Fried ice cream was tasty but definitely lacking in presentation, needs some whipped cream and cinnamon sugar chips or something. Overall, Good prices, service and portions. ”
“ We stopped in here about an hour before closing on a Sunday. The restaurant was still busy, and there were quite a few customers present when we finished up just before the scheduled close. Service was good (thanks, Dakota), although we would have preferred the staff to postpone cleaning the floor around us until we finished. As for the food, $33.79 plus tip purchased a chile relleno plate with the usual sides, a chicken fajita plate, and a refillable soft drink (Pepsi products). Both servings were ample, and the food decently prepared. So, this looks like a reliable restaurant, and it's worth driving in from the interstate if you are hungry for Tex-Mex and passing through at mealtime. ”
