Let me begin with the down to Earth Staff. They are very inviting and hospitable.
They know what they are doing, I have had about a third of the menu and have more than just a ”no complaints” and a thumbs up. I am more than happy to give these men and women a solid review. I give them 5 and a half Stars.
I work nearby and do lunch there, if it's not too busy. They see us, we the Hero's of the American Highway. They know we earn a hard dollar so they get us in and out.
I do have one major grievance about this great Tex\Mex spot: They're not open enough!
Let's help out these hard working people by stopping by and stepping in to indulge in some delicious and generous offerings.

The staff greets you with a smile and some chips and house made salsa that is above par and definitely NOT made in New York City. I went there with 3 other friends and we were all surprised at the quantity of great food that we were served for lunch. The beef and chicken fajitas were both tender and seasoned well. The mounds of meat were accompanied by rice, beans and a small salad. They were also garnished with a grilled jalapeno. The street taco plate was also a generous portion with the beans and salad. I had the chicken quesadilla with sides of rice,...
Read moreJust happened to run across this place about a mile from a little motel I stayed at in Irving, TX and I am so glad I did. I had been at the Dallas Farmer's Market a couple days trying all kinds of food but was really wanting some hole in the wall Mexican cuisine, and listen buddies- this was it, I got the onion enchiladas and the tortillas were so delicious I could've eaten 20 of them... Ok but get this THEY HAVE BREAKFAST! From 7a-11a! My first thought when visiting Texas was that I wanted some eggs and hot sauce, AND THIS PLACE DELIVERED! Brush up on your service industry Spanish or be ready to use Google Translate. They also had a dining area. It was a very cozy vibe. 20 out of 10 would go back if I was...
