The al pastor here is extremely good. Had it with the torta I will without a doubt reccomend it. Their horchata needs to he studied on how good it is. I will go out of my way to visit this place again.

So glad we came to this place and not the other restaurant down the street. The food came out fast and you get a big portion. We had: Fish Mojorra 9/10 - fried perfectly, the sides were meh Barbacoa meal 8/10 - a little bland but it was so soft ! Chicharrones taco - 9/10 - soft and crispy at the same time, wish I had some toppings though Pastor taco - 10/10 so flavorful Sopapillas - not bad 7/10, nothing to note I had the drink in a bowl and that was super refreshing. It was the server’s first time making it and she made it well. If I ever come back in the area, I’d definitely fingers again. The food prices was 10/10 :)

We enjoy breakfast and dinner here while staying at the RV park. Question, what is the warm, soup like salsa served with Huevos Rancheros? Very spicy

This restaurant was recommended by the manager of our RV park. It was wonderful! The service and the food were top notch. We will be staying in Johnson City for aprox 6 months so I'll have time to work my way thru the menu.

Delicious food here. Super friendly staff. Love the crispy tacos (#18). Good menu variety. Amazing queso with chorizo. Tight parking.

First visit. Great food, great service, great coffee. The pork chop was the best I've had in a looking time. Opinions may vary but it reminded me of my grandmothers cooking. Not only was the coffee hot and fresh but the cups were the heavy, thick ceramic kind that I much prefer. Edited: Food is still great, coffe kept full. Try the enchiladas with eggs.

Great place to stop if you’re driving through. The food was so good and the workers were working so hard even though they really could have had more help! Such a reasonable price too!!!

Stopped in on our way back into Austin. Very tasty and great service. We tried the queso, migas, picadillo burrito and Monterrey chicken. We’ll definitely visit again.

Been a minute since I've been in Texas.The first meal I wanted was an authentic Mexican meal. I was not disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed eating here so much until I had lunch and dinner here on the same day. You will not be disappointed!

Surprising little place with BIG TACOS and a lot of flavor! Must try the Steak a la Mexicana - the best! The red salsa has the perfect bite. The horchata is plentiful. If you get the opportunity, stop by and find your favorite menu item here. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

This place is really good. I put it against any Mexican restaurant in Austin. It would beat out a lot of them out. The prices here are very reasonable too. I had their street tacos and lemonade. They were freaking awesome. The lady that took care of us was super friendly and the cook was funny. We could hear him singing while he prepared our food. Happy cook great food.

Quaint little small town Mexican restaurant in an older building. The chips are fresh and hot and sometimes tastes like they're fresh out of the fryer.... They're not the store-bought chips did you get it most Mexican places. The fajitas come sizzling as they should and the Margaritas taste a little bit syrupy. I've had better margaritas. Service is quick and you pay at the counter.

I have major issues with walking, so I try to park as close to the door as possible. I came in to eat and management told me I was blocking the drive thru, I wasn’t. I moved my truck like I was asked….to another restaurant and gave my server a $6.00 tip on a $18.00 lunch. He had the right to run his business as he sees fit, be kinder to those with mobility issues.

The fajita meat almost seemed like it was fake or very old, very peppery and had a nasty aftertaste. Needless to say worst fajita tacos I’ve had in a long time. They make good beer though lol

When I give my dog more food than me and neither eats it all, well, it's just not cooked with any love. The 3 tacos where like a sponge. Barely cooked, wett, and just very unpleasant. Better luck next time?
