The carne asada tacos and pecan pie at this restaurant are fantastic! We sat in a lovely shaded area and savored our meal. Next door, there is a shop where you can find all kinds of jerky and local pistachios. The service at both places is incredibly friendly. If you're in need of snacks, they have plenty to choose from.

We stopped for lunch on our way back from San Diego and both ordered burgers. My wife had the hamburger with onion rings, while I had the cheeseburger with no tomato and tots. Both patties were cooked to medium as we requested. The burgers, rings, and tots were all pretty good. We also visited their jerky shop on the way back to the interstate and purchased the cowboy and tearjerker jerky, mixed nut brittle, and a bag of pecan halves. The cowboy jerky was regular, while the tearjerker jerky used Carolina Reaper peppers, which was surprisingly not too hot. We enjoyed the brittle as well. We would recommend this place and would definitely visit both locations again.

This place is very unique. I had the flat iron steak on tortilla. It was awesome. I highly recommend this place to anybody traveling through the small town where this is located. They have a really nice shop inside where you can purchase beef jerky and pistachios and cold beverages for the road. If I ever come back through that way, I will be sure to stop by and eat there again.
