When in to get something to drink but saw some of their food and then menu. Had to get chicken Cassandra. Sorry on spelling but delicious and a lot of chicken. Came with sour cream and chilies for just $6. I couldn't eat it all. I will be back and have already been telling friends

This place is consistent as all get out. I wouldn't say it's five-star, but everyone is friendly, and the food is cooked and seasoned incredibly well. They do one of the best tamales I've had from a quick-stop type place. Corn husks, and everything. Their chicken fingers are pretty good, and their burgers aren't half bad. Their fries are always crisp.

The most delicious steak quesadilla I've ever had! The empanadas were also delicious, and I stole some of my sister's fries. We were passing through and thought we'd give something new a try. Was not disappointed!
