I have never had a bad experience here. The food is always fast and delicious. And their margaritas are the best in town.

Food was great and servers nice. Size of dining room is small, but that didn't take away from the experience. Will go back.

This place is so good that my family just calls it “THE Mexican Restaurant”. I have raised my 16 yr old son on this food. The staff has taken countless pictures of him in a sombrero with whipped cream on his face. Take this as a warning if you are going for your birthday;) The food is always consistent, delicious, quick and affordable. The employees are so kind and caring. I won’t trade it for a meal in Texas any day!

Pretty solid choice for Mexican on that side of town. Very very quick service with food coming out only 5 minutes after you order, even with a full restaurant. All the food seems pretty authentic. Great option if you're on that side of town, but not sure if I'd go out of my way.

Horrible! The food was microwaved on the same plate they served it to me and almost got third degree burns from touching the plate. Everything was once frozen and then zapped to order. The guacamole was obviously store bought and the margaritas were awful! The overall morale of the staff was pretty terrible. Everyone looked sad and depressed and didn't want to be there. Final conclusion: taco bell has better tacos. Save your $$ and run for the border! Lol

Always amazing. I've been eating here for years, and it is just so consistently excellent. The staff is friendly and service is prompt. I like the privacy the table set up allows. Most authentic Mexican food in the area by a long shot.

The food was good. This place came recommended from a friend of mine for the good food that was inexpensive. The waitress was very courteous. The food was pretty good. In my opinion, the Mexican food is better in Texas than Louisiana
