Could not have been more disappointed. The meat tasted old and overcooked in our tacos. The shells were prefab store bought type.. I'm pretty sure heartburn is eminent.Also, some Hispanic guy was watching television on his phone and it was louder than the restaurants music. We complained but the staff did nothing except apologize to us.

I had very high hopes for this place. It was featured on The Daytripper. I hate to say that we did not enjoy it at all. In all we spent over 2.5 hours here. The place was empty when we arrived. It took forever for our order to be taken. It took over an hour to get our food. We were never checked on, drinks were never refilled, we had to hunt someone down to get our check.The food was terrible. The salsa was hot but not in a good spicy way. It was very peppery and unpleasant. The burrito was literally a tortilla with ground beef. Super dry, no flavor, no toppings. The enchilada sauce had a peppery spice to it that none of us enjoyed. We were all starving but none of us took more then a couple bites of our food. Maybe it's just not the style of Mexican food we prefer but we have had a lot of Mexican food and this was unlike anything we've had before. As we were there, the restaurant did start to fill up with what looked like locals. I love to see small, local, mom and pop places succeed. Hopefully for their sake the locals keep them in business. But this was a big negative for us. There wasn't a single positive from the customer service, to the wait times, the food, the price...it was all awful.

Slow and inattentive service. Lousy, overpriced food made with cheap ingredients and the only saving grace is that the portions are so small (ie: taco salad the size of a teacup) that there is less to get sick from an hour later. There's a reason that they bill themselves as the "cutest" restaurant in town (though it's tacky AF) and not the "best", "most delicious" or "cleanest". Skip this disaster.

Great, the cutest little place in town!My husband and I were on our way to San Antonio from El Paso.We preordered our dinner from on the road and our food came out within 5 minutes just before their closing time, lucky for us!The chicken fajitas were so tender and delicious, the salsa was spicy and flavorful the chips were warm and the refried beans very good as was the guacamole. We are so happy to have discovered this wonderful cozy little gem!

Cute restaurant... took the waitress 15 min to get our drinks.. didn't bring chips and salsa til later. Food took literally an hour to get to our table. They brought our food, forgot rice and beans. Another waitress had to come and give it to us. Food is NOT authentic Mexican food. Food is not that great. I asked 2 waitresses for a side of rice and beans and they never brought it out.Way overpriced for what we got. Waitress never came to refill drinks. When asked questions about the menu she didn't know, didn't ask anyone. Never checked on us. I would never come back to this place again. I had to walk around and find someone just to get my bill. Awful customer service

As others have commented, the service is extremely show. In their defense, we only saw one server. The salsa was incredibly pepper "hot." Chips were very good. Hubby had the burrito plate. He describes as mediocre. The tortilla had seasoned hamburger meat. Rolled in the tortillas then cheese melted on top. The burrito was dry from being heated for the cheese. I had the three cheese enchilada plate. The red sauce has a lot of tomato and was incredibly hot as in spicy. I love peppers as in jalapeno and pico but this was very different. Not enjoyable.

Great food or such a small town. Off the Interstate a few miles but worth the home cooked Mexican food.

The cutest restaurant in Balmorrhea also has some amazing food. The food has a New Mexico flare with stacked enchiladas. The blackened catfish was delicious, covered in fresh, sautéed veggie. I loved the food. Green enchiladas have so much spice. Nice outdoor patio filled with pollinators around a lovely fountain.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Wait time is ridiculous, more than 1 1/2 hrs to get food. Waitresses are short staffed, so customer service is minimal. Orderded a burrito which meat tasted like it was old and was tossed back in oil and recooked as it was burned(did not eat it). Immediately after leaving, had a stomach ache which now has been over 6 hrs and it is still hurting. More than likely I have food poisoning. Would not return and do not recommend.
