We read some great reviews and are always looking for fresh, well made, authentic Mexican food so we decided to give it a try and I was very impressed with my entire visit. The service was top notch, the quality of the food cannot be talked more highly of, and the queso was delicious! For being a small family owned business they truly pour everything they have into their food and it shows! They have great pricing and margarita specials regularly. The restrooms and restaurant was very clean and well kept. I will definitely be back and I hope others discover this diamond in the rough sooner than later!

Figured we would give it a try. Did not want to drive into Magnolia around rush hour on Friday, so we went the other direction into Plantersville. If you blink you will miss this place... Small building right off the road next to a tire shop. Greeted quickly and seated. Seems the place was clean and the service was welcoming, and warm. The owner asked us a couple times how things were going. Was nice that he was checking in. Was surprised about the margarita, one large one and I was feeling it. I had them throw jalapenos in it to give it spice... Was really good. Food was pretty good. I had the Plantersville special, and the wife a couple tacos. The crunchy tacos looked home made and we're good. The meat really didn't have any flavor in the tacos... But the fajita meat in mine that came with the Plantersville special was cooked and seasoned very well. We will be back to try other things... And another margarita! One thing to note... Prices do seem a bit high for what it is, but that aside we are supporting a local business.

We dine here once or twice a week. Never disappointed! Breakfast is excellent! This week I tried the shrimp cocktail. Very tasty and good sized shrimp. My favorites are the Enchiladas Verde or the Tacos al Carbon beef fajitas. The fajitas are always delicious!

Ordered dinner to go then went to pick it up fifteen minutes later. Everything was delicious. There were a lot of cars parked outside but still plenty of seating. I really liked their corn tortillas. The price point seemed really high though.

My family and I dropped by today as we celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday and we loved it. The food was excellent, the service was great, the people were friendly, and we'll definitively be back. Highly recommended.

A little whole in the wall place off 105. This place is cozy great food with good margaritas. They seem to have daily specials for $10.99. My father took me and my husband here just before my father left for a lengthy out of country visit. This was while Ren Fest was in full swing. This place had a good crowd but wasn't crowded at all. Great times, great conversations with 2 men of my life.

The food and service were great! The chips and salsas are the best around. I have passed by this restaurant for a few years and can kick myself for not stopping earlier! You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this family-friendly restaurant

My meal was fantastic. Usually when you order a shrimp dish you might get 6 or 8 shrimp. My shrimp and rice dish was loaded with shrimp. Nice flavor. Second time I've had it. I will go have it many more times. Served quickly. Wait staff are very pleasant. You should go for a good time and great meal.

We live 20 minutes down the road, and we eat here all the time! One of our favorite places! Staff is always great, and the owners are always trying to better the place. They were also kind enough to let us order some tins of fajita meat with all the fixings for my baby shower last April.

Excellent food. We are building a new house in the area and found this while visiting the area. The big guacamole is great, the salsa is great, everything else I’ve had is great too. Awesome place.

We’re city people and are desperate for spots that have that homey feel, and this is it! Before we even got our food we were already in love because of the yummy frijoles dip. Highly recommend this place and the lovely folks who run it!

Good, friendly, and fast service! I had crispy tacos and was very pleasantly surprised when the shells were made with flour tortillas. They were light and not oily at all. Meat had good flavor without being too salty or greasy. Yum!

It wasn't terrible, the service was great! It smelled really strong of mothballs when we walked in which was a big turnoff. The food was pretty good though a bit spicy for a wuss like me who can't take spicy. I thought it was a bit pricey. My husband, me, and my son went and the total was $50. 3 plates and an order of guac, 3 sodas and a water. I'd rather go to Castaneda's Meat market here in town bc the food is good and cheaper.

Ordered a dozen tacos and 2 sides of rice and paid 56 dollars. The food was horrible. I called and the girl who says she's the manager Annette was rude and said knew what I was paying for and I said no I did not or I would have never purchased that slop. It was so greasy and shells were raw and they shorted me a side of rice. Ridiculous to be a manager and not try to fix the issue but say u knew what u paid and what do u want me to do wow nice.
