The place is deceptively big! So many rooms and tables, it's easy to get a table for two at any time.I've had great service when I come here. The servers are super friendly and will refill your chips and salsa so quickly!Ive had the chicken tortilla soup and the green chili soup and both are super flavorful. The bowl is humongous so if you want to share, get the large.The flauta plate is also a great choice as well. I've never had a bad meal here!

This is one of the most friendly, accepting, comfortable, and family-friendly dinin' spots you'll find in this area.The staff are incredibly cordial and polite.The food is, primarily, tex-mex, and, yeah, some folks will have less than stellar opinions about that, but, don't care - the food is made fresh, is small kitchen style, and, I find, along with the staff, that makes me feel more at home.I'd definitely go so far as to bring a date here, because it's an atmosphere for *"real"* folks, it's well-suited to relaxed, casual conversation, so, it's a warm, comfy spot, for down-to-earth conversation, and getting to know just 'bout anyone.Also, as someone autistic, who might be considered "neurospicy", I've been here on my "off" days, and know I'm in a relatively safe spot, if I'm feelin' particularly vulnerable to the world Thanks so much, for that! I've tried quite a few things, on their menu, and have never left feeling anything other than happy with my meal.Pictured is a grilled chicken salad, with their in-house chipotle ranch dressing, which is a perfect lunch. It's right-sized, and, doesn't make me want to nap, afterward.Also, I've always enjoyed the queso, with guacamole

The portion and flavor of their tortilla soup was just as good as people had told me it would be and priced appropriately at just under $15- I'll def go back to have it again before I try to rank it among the best in town. I'm sure it's even better if you get it dine-in but I still really enjoyed mine as takeout

We came back last Sunday when my fiancés stepmom was in town, and had another positive experience. We tried the queso flameado this time, which was definitely warm and fresh, and was a good change up. My Pescado Oscar was also solid. My fiancé liked her meal and my fiancés stepmom did too. We would come back.

I have eaten here many times with my sons as well as by myself. The food is always really good very fresh. I had fajitas. My son had enchiladas and my other son had the tacos. Everything was very good. Very fresh. I did have a margarita as well, which was very tasty. Great customer service staff is always very friendly. They took good care of us. We will definitely be back plenty of seating very wide open good place for groups. They do have a patio area as well that's covered.

I ordered for the first time a beef tamale plate. Is this plate worth $15.75? For 2 tamales, rise and beans! Even though the plate is very testy, I liked very much I will never order it again.

If you have a craving for Tex Mex, this is the spot. Big parking lot, old Spanish style decor and places to sit in a booth or tables and chairs. We were greeted by a man and seated us as requested at a table in the bar. I've been here before and sat in the restaurant to the right but my friend wanted to sit in the bar. It was happy hour and I got the Mexican martini which was the featured for the day. My friend got a Dos Equis. The service was quick and our waitress was timid but efficient. They have a full bar too and some come in just for a drink at the bar. It was busy for a Wednesday at 4:30.I can say I've had better tortilla soup but it was still good, just seemed to missing something or it could've been more spicy. My friend loved her stuffed avocado dish. It's right off Menchaca and 1626, so easy to get to, just not visible if you're driving by since it's farther in the lot. Most people who've lived in the area have been coming here for years. It's in the same lot as where the old Pedernales office was. Just look for that gas station and you're there.

We haven't seen our favorite waiter, Chris, in several weeks. He was great. For us, he was The Texican! Where does he work now?
