I went in meaning to try the smothered fries but was taken aback by the choices. I went with fish tacos, chile rellenos and some guacamole. The fish tacos were big, juicy and the sauce was great. Rice and beans are really good too. Chile rellenos were decent. I'd bet they'd be better in tortillas. But boy-howdy the stuff they called guacamole was so bad I threw away the pint after two bites. It was like the baby poop looking stuff at Kroger that tastes like preservatives with no chunks of avocado in it at all. Kind of surprising seeing they have so much on offer. I really hope they fix that so they can thrive. Seating for 8 inside, 24 outside covered. I will be back to try the fries or nachos, birria torta and breakfast tacos. Tuesdays is $1.75 tacos all day.

Read moreReally good food. It's a nice Mexican with Tex-Mex touch. Really good food, great service at least when it was slow, and really good portions and quality of food for the price. As long as you recognize it's a repurposed Sonic drive-in and the best part about this place is the good food, you'll love it. The chips were freshly made but in my opinion the salsas didn't have much flavor. They had spice, but not so much of the fresh veggie, tomato, pepper flavor I like in salsa. Definitely a solid 8/10 food spot right now, and I feel like with tweaks to their flan and salsa recipes and slightly lower soda/drink prices it would be a major contender for the best local Mexican food in...
