If you were to drive by this place, you wouldn't think twice about going inside. It's in some average looking plaza next to a Blockbuster. If however, you decided to take the chance and go inside you would be in for one hell of a treat! We like Mexican food, but this thing exceeds all our expectations. This is one of the best tasting Mexican food places that we have ever been to.

The atmosphere is like a hole in the wall sort of place. It's basically a fast food joint. You have your basic table and chairs and a small tv in the corner. The nice thing though is that the staff is really friendly and that's probably why they have so many regulars.

Now let's get down to the real deal - the food! They make fresh salsa, which is really tasty and if you dine in they provide you with an unlimited amount of warm tortilla chips. You can get entrees (entrees come with rice and beans) or you can get the items a la carte. I like to order the enchilada plate, whereas the hubby likes to order the wet burrito. All their food comes in huge portions, so you will definitely go home full or with leftovers. The enchilada plate comes with rice, beans, salad, and 2 huge enchiladas. These are some yummy enchilada's! I'm not a big eater, but I never let these enchilada's go to waste. The enchilada's come with ample amount of sauce and they are fully covered with this great tasting enchilada sauce. They are really scrumptious and juicy. The burrito on the other hand is this massive thing that comes packed with rice, beans, salsa, veggies, cheese, and tons of meat. Most items come wet or dry (i.e. you can get a dry burrito or a wet one - wet one meaning that the its extra suacey). Their rice and beans (not refried, but I'd double check if that's an issue for you) is great as well. Their Mexican rice is made with a great mixture of spices and goes great with the guacamole, sour cream and beans. Ohhhh, the taco's are great too! I think what makes this place so good is the their blend of spices. Their meat is always juicy and never dry, so no matter what you get it'll be great. If you like the vegetarian stuff, their Chile relleno is great as well. What makes it great is the fact that they add green chiles to the cheese, so it gives a good mix of spices as well. So, no matter what you will definitely be satisfied.
