This local venue is small but clean. We stopped in this Tex Mex / Mexican restaurant for a Sunday lunch. The chips and salsa were tasty, the salsa is thin as opposed to the veggie chunky kind. I had cheese enchiladas rancheras and my wife had cheese enchiladas tejanas. We also had a side of hot, fresh corn tortillas. The food comes in generous portions but is only okay. Not inspired to go back necessarily. Also, my wife was annoyed that they turned on the television to a movie.... and had the sound on..... disrupting the dining experience. Prices are very reasonable. Parking is out front. Parking: Lots of parking out front.
Service could be better. Took too long to get any refills. My migas eggs were wet underneath. Prices seem high for 2 breakfast plate and 1 breakfast taco. Even to pay our ticket took a long time.
Updated review: bummed out that this place has gone downhill. I know the economy sucks, but portions and quality have dropped sharply. Serving me old gristly meat in a burrito you microwaved? And stuffed another burrito wrap inside to make it look full? Nah, I'm done. Old review: Big portions, bang for your buck is there. Quality is inconsistent though, sometimes food isn't quite as well cooked or flavorful as it could be.
