“ The Salsa and Chips have great flavor and spice. The Oatmeal was great as well. My wife really enjoyed the food and service We flew in From Colorado and this is the first stop we made! ”
“ Friendly, very clean, authentic family Mexican food, fluently bilingual and very nice. The pastor taco plate was 7 or 8 and came with chips and a great picante salsa, just the right level of heat for people who like spicy but don't eat raw habaneros, and a cup of a really tasty noodle soup as an appetizer. Everything was seasoned well, not bland or excessive. Homemade tortillas were perfect--right amount of flavor, chew, toasted but still fluffy, didn't fall apart when wet. Mexican rice and beans made it a filling meal. Well worth a stop if you're in the area and looking for a bite, really nice folks that deserve the business and care about their food and customers. ”
“ We took a huge gamble.. While on the Sunset Limited Amtrak (from New Orleans - passing through El Paso in the afternoon) .. Food in coach was not an option.. So ordered from the restaurant . Called them, placed orders for about 10 of us.. The Awesome thing was they got all the orders right, and they waited for our train (which was running late.) when we finally stopped, they were ready with the packages, we picked them up, paid cash and back on the train - all in 5 mins. The Food was Good. It was priced fairly, and portion sizes just right.. the Salsa had a kick to it :p We were all happy souls once we ate the meal.. turns out this was their first time delivering to a bunch of nomads on a train. God Bless Them ”
“ Came here back in February this year with my fiance. My fiance had suggested we get brunch, he has been here before.We came on a Sunday, mid morning to afternoon it wasn't very busy. Right when we entered it smelled of all the delicious food. We were seated right away, the chips and salsa were delicious especially the salsa. The restaurant was very clean, the art on the walls were very beautiful, the atmosphere was very laided back & had a homey feel. My fiance & I both had ordered the Menudo. The menudo is HANDS DOWN the BEST menudo I've ever had. If we are in the area again we will definitely be stopping by. ”
“ Great place for a Sunday breakfast. They had good Mexican music playing, the eating area was spacious, the fans really helped keep the place comfortable and free from smelling bad. I will definitely be coming back. The food was also good, good flavor, a decent amount of options. I did take pictures of the menu so feel free to check it out. And the staff was attentive and helpful. The only down side to this would be the parking, the location of the place is a bit inconvenient, but it's worth the walk if you can't find parking next to the building where the murals are. ”
