Evening pitstop on a road trip. Seated immediately, waitress was wonderful and accommodating, service was great, food hit the spot. Kids quesadilla plates are a little small for children older than 5 or so. I found the adult portions to be generous.

Large menu selection, very clean, nice and friendly staff, and REALLY good food! It's worth repeating... REALLY good food! The grilled meat selections are exceptionally tender, especially the chicken. This is a little tucked in off the access road so a slightly hidden treasure but worth watching out for if you are in the area.

Totally empty for a Saturday afternoon. Comparable prices to the local sit down Mexican restaurants in town. The chips and salsa are wonderful. The salsa has a little kick to it if you aren't big on heat. They do have an avocado salsa they brought with dinner that is even hotter, that I think would be great with the chips. I had the Torta with Carne Asada. It was a fair price for it and was about as good as most any other place that serves Tortas. I would suggest they could make some of their items more unique to set themselves apart from the local competition.

First, good food and friendly staff 5 stars. I had the most expensive dinner at 21, and buddy it was great. Served in a bowl that stayed hot, it was awesome. Ate breakfast too, after spending a trucker night in the parking lot and it was good. Potatoes were fried on a griddle, not deep fried, skirt steak was great, nopolitos are good. Not everything is karen-perfect (skip the bacon) but it is a real deal.

This was a great place for our group to have breakfast. Good wholesome food at good prices. We were there on a Saturday morning, and there was plenty of seating. The orders came quickly and correct. There is plenty of big rig parking.

Great place for Mexican food! First time eating there was during the freeze of 2021. Food ordered was delicious then as it is now. I would highly recommend this location. Great for those passing thru Hillsboro for a great meal carne guisada plate and the flauta taco plate....delicious !! Recently came to eat here and my daughter ordered the barbacoa burrito.....and it was not pleasant. She said it tasted spoiled or not good, I got a taste of it and she was correct. I asked her if she wanted to order something else and she said no. So not sure what happened to that meat but it was not good. The other 2 plates, cheese enchiladas were great! Pictures are in a different posting. Returned again on 8/29 and took another person. They ordered the beef quesadilla but the tortilla was soft not toasty. He didn't want to complain about it cause he was hungry but it did need to be toasted.
