what an amazing experience. Our son and daughter-in-law invited us out for lunch. We drove into what looked like a gas station and I asked myself. What are we doing here?? to my surprise we walked into what was a beautiful restaurant with a sports bar atmosphere. There were four or five large screen, TVs up showing local sport, team events and a full dining room.The staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the dining area was very comfortable. But the biggest surprise was their menu and it's diversity and the fantastic food that they served. If you're in the area, I would wholeheartedly suggest that you get off Highway 15 and enjoy lunch or dinner at this restaurant. By the way, they serve breakfast all day long. The Carne Asada and shrimp burrito was fantastic and my wife had chili chilies that she just loved. Please support this locally owned business, which is not part of any chain. Period and by the way, I'm not a family member of the owner.

Not sure who's taking these photos (probably the business owner) but yeah, I knew it was too good to be true.. the steak and shrimp tacos do not come like that.. very little protein. I should've taken a picture, but I was hungry. Pictures are not accurate on here. the tacos are not served like that. Take the pictures down or adjust the meat portion, be honest with people and with yourselves. The Service was great, the flavors are good, and the place is nice, but you're getting very little meat.Got the (2) taco plate that came with rice and beans for a little over $14 . It's ok but You're eating mostly carbs and almost no meat.. shrimp are tiny and the asada meat definitely does not spill over like in the pictures . It's mostly tortilla. Not worth the $14 in my opinion for the plate, and the two tacos alone would've been over $15 which doesn't make sense either. And yes, I asked the person taking my order if the tacos come the same if I get them with or without the rice and beans and he said yes. Will not be returning.

Unfortunately this time the food was not as good. Our fish tacos were greasy and over cooked. Felt like the quality wasn't there tonight. The staff is friendly. The prices have gone up and for the prices I expect quality food. We had fried fish tacos and a carne asada taco.

What?!? It's basically gas station Mexican fast food ... but it's soooo good! There are sit down tables and a bar (beer, wine & wine-based cocktails) ... attached to a Circle K next door. We got there shortly after 3pm ... when their Happy Hour started. All the food was crazy tasty including the HH Al Pastor Nachos ($5.99), HH 5 pc Wings ($4.99), HH Carne Asada/Al Pastor/Grilled-Fried Fish Tacos ($3.99 each), and the Carnitas Street Burrito ($11.99). To top it off ... all draft, 12 oz. bottled beer, cocktails, and 6 oz. wine pours were $2 off during HH. So, we also got a pint of the House Lager & Modelo ... but the best was the Elysian IPA Space Dust that could be made into a michelada for only $2 more. Although, the super nice woman waiting on us warned that no one has ever gotten that ... it was the BOMB and I ended up getting another one!!There were also various aguas frescas ... which we tried the horchata. But the icing on the cake was their self-serve salsa bar with 4 different options (not too spicy) and a fuego on the side (still not too overly spicy) ... along with grilled onions/peppers, sliced radishes, lime wedges, and some pico de gallo. It's not full-service, but if you want some great food that you can order at the counter and have them bring to you ... this place rocks! Food came out super fast and the service was great too. Only (small) negative was that their tacos would have seemed expensive, if not for HH prices. However, they were really good especially with the hand made tortillas. Just know what to expect before getting there and you won't be surprised (like we were) at this place.

This place is soooo good. The tortilla chips & salsa are absolute fire. The quesabirra tacos are the best. Located inside a gas station but that's not a downside at all, just an opportunity to get yourself a polar pop to enjoy with your food

So I come here for the 1st time I ask for a combo plate just no rice PLEASE double beans and they said we don't substitute items so "I said" I purchased the plates and then they said this one time only WTH this is a rip off place so they give me the "extra beans" in a plastic cup. (Picture shown) instead of putting the beans in the same plate... and very small portions of food they want to charge you for everything thing you ask for (even tortillas) Just knowing how times are hard and they wanna treat you this way. like a dollar is going to make a difference in there pocket No good customer service skills whatsoever so ever. Will not be coming back FORSURE. I have to put 1 star in order to post this, but really NO STAR FROM ME!
