    The food is pretty good. Since they have cleaned the place up it's more comfortable eating inside. They do not accept cards...cash or local checks only.

    Management of this restaurant is non existent. They are unable to provide proper service to their dine in customers and over extend themselves with a delivery service. Their menu options are few and they seem to be overly obsessed with chorizo. They served us with complimentary chips which I might afford the one star I was obligated to give in order to write a review, however they admitted that they ran out of salsa. I find it astonishing that a Mexican restaurant would run out of one of the most essential foods items that they should be able to offer their customers. Fortunately for myself I was not given the opportunity to try what I can only imagine would be less than edible food since we sat in the restaurant for over an hour without them ever beginning to prepare our food due to the high volume of delivery's. There were three other parties in the restaurant when we arrived and 3 deliveries that went out during our visit with only two of the parties there actually being served. I would never give this restaurant another chance and I would highly recommend future potential customers not waste their time on this establishment.

    Great Mexican food that's unique to the Arkansas Valley.  The chili has the perfect amount of heat and the vermicelli is unlike anything you'll find at any other Mexican restaurant.

    Vegetarians beware: this restaurant puts chorizo in everything----and I do mean everything. Red chili, green chili, guacamole, there is quite literally nothing on the menu that does not contain meat and there is no mention of most of it on the menu. Possibly there is no meat in the complimentary chips and salsa, but I cannot say because they were out. As an aside, the women's restroom was scary, and I'm not easily frightened.

    Old school Mexican food of the 50s.
    Great salsa.
    Small but filling plates, sides are ordered along with the mains.
    Great service and damn quick kitchen.
