The service wasn't that much better it took awhile to get our food. I don't see myself going back to this place at all.

If they were within 100 miles of us, we would eat here every time we go out to eat. Food: this is true Tex Mex exactly the kind we grew up with for 60 years! I had The Mexican Plate. Those of you who grew up on this menu will know exactly what that means. Actual tacos, by the way, not some preformed nonsense. And, yes, those refried beans are the real deal, none of that soupy, fatless cardboard. Oh, and remember ranchero sauce?!? Yanno, the version with heat instead of an overload of sugar?? Yes, and YES! Don't get me started on the margaritas ... let's just say they are for adults, made like a classic with tequila, limes, and orange liquor. My husband was equally pleased with the Tex Plate, an old favorite combination of cheese enchiladas covered with sauce and topped with eggs. Service: it was almost like being at a friend’s home, so friendly, courteous, and kind. We were treated with respect and like people. Everyone put their hearts and souls into this place and it showed in every aspect. Ambiance: even though it was 98 degrees outside, we sat on the shaded patio with our beloved dog. It's difficult to find a nice place to eat with outdoor seating when we are traveling and it's too hot to leave the dog in the truck. Not only did they welcome us and our sweet dog, but they were as solicitous of and attentive to her as they were to us. So, while I can only speak to the convenience and welcome respite of the patio, I have absolutely no doubt the interior was equally accommodating and lovely. In summary, if I could give this place 20 stars, it wouldn't be enough! Parking: Some shaded parking spots a welcome rarity in the heat of summer!!
