Best food in town. The food is authentic, reasonably priced, and very tasty. The salsa bar is delicious. The guy at the counter is very nice and helpful. I come here a minimum of 3 times a week. I am addicted. The torta is fire. The Carne Asada is bomb. Don't sleep on this place. 5 out of 5 stars every time I eat here!

I've eaten here several times now and can safely say it's great. The burritos are huge, the tacos are super tasty especially the shrimp tacos. The salsa is great something about their Pico makes it better than most others.

Look this place is the perfect small town place to come in with your boots on or flip flops and munch on nice salsa and chips have a beer or great ice tea. Order something custom they are easy like that! Be yourself. Order it to go or sit and have some interesting people watching time. Either way nice small family run business. The food is a little bit Americanized I think that's back by popular demand talk to him I bet you will cook it however you like make it a little more authentic for you communication is the key

My plate of Cameron's Ala Diabla Was delicious perfect amount of spices, accented with their beans and rice that were cooked to perfection. It's been a long time since I found such wonderful flavors in one dish. The customer service was also wonderful!
