Just moved here from California, and have been looking for non-chain mexican restaurants nearby. Passed by this place several times and decided to stop in.
I got a breakfast burrito, and it was great. Simple and done just right. Salsa was good with the right amount of kick. The potatoes in the burrito were just like the ones my grandma makes me, so thats a plus for me. I love how they serve breakfast all day, thats my kinda place. Service is great and super friendly too.
Will definately be back again! -

I love ordering off of their ala carte menu. The cheese relleno with ranchero sauce is my favorite and I usually get it with a fried taco. With it you get your choice of either traditional taco toppings to go with it or cilantro and onions with hot sauce. Both are good. I've also had the cheese relleno with half green sauce and half queso - another yummy combo.
My husband loves their burritos. I think he takes it as a personal challenge to finish the burrito that has like 4 different meats in it. It's huge.
Comfortable diner-like setting, family owned, and it's a friendly family. -

Now THAT'S what I mean when I say Tex-Mex! Queso (and no, I don't mean cheese-whiz, I mean queso), beans seasoned so right you'd be willing to sell your soul for another serving (but you won't have to, because the prices aren't bad), legitimately hot & tasty salsa that doesn't even PRETEND to look like pico de gallo, and all the tortillas are baked, not steamed or fried. The servers smile, and come by every 3 or 4 minutes just to make sure you're OK. I think my iced tea got topped off 6 or 7 times.
My mom told me that when the neighbors bring her here, she's not allowed to order, she's just told to eat whatever they put in front of her...and after trying this place, I can't say I blame her!
They also have a higher-end pottery business on the side. Nice items with good prices...if you're into that sorta thing. (I'm really not.) -

The food here is OK. I think I was expecting a lot more since the reviews on Yelp raved about the place. We ordered beef tacos and a beef chimichanga and while there was certainly nothing wrong with either, they failed to grab my attention and make me say "WOW!"
The service was quite good. We found our waiters to be pleasant and fun to talk to, just wish the food was as good. -

This is seriously some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. We have been wanting to go for quite awhile but never made it happen. We were missing out! First of all, the service was amazing. Our waiter was very friendly and recommended two of his favorites. We got them both and were not disappointed. Everything was so yummy! The retried beans were so good. I don't know what it was but they were just better than average. The borracho (sp?) beans were also fantastic. We had one breakfast plate and an order of tacos. Large portions and we took almost half our meal home. I could go on and on but basically, if you want great Mexican food, you will not be disappointed!!

I've been in a few times now and the food is excellent! We had the sampler to start and I thought the quesadillas were great as well as my enchiladas.
Along with the great food, the service is also wonderful. We've had the same waiter every time, I think I over heard he is the son of the owner, and he's always extremely friendly with us and all of his other tables.
Really good, small, family-owned place and it was packed a few Sundays ago, I would highly recommend! -

I lived in Corinth, which is neighbored to Lake Dallas, for over a year and never went to this place. I moved to the HEB area and something compelled my boyfriend and I to stop into this place while we were on the road in Denton County. I am baffled that I never went into this place one time while I had every opportunity. The food is authentic and fantastic. My boyfriend and I visit once every couple of weeks! They have great breakfast food that is served all day (my favorite)! Don't let the outside fool you like it did me for over a year...this place is great and inexpensive. I would eat here over any major Tex-Mex chain, anyday. Service is great, timely, and the food is good. What more can you ask for!?

If your grandmother was Mexican... This is the food that she would cook for you. Lunch specials under $7.00. The salsa alone is worry coming, it has just the right amount of zip. There are only 6 booths and a few tables. It's cleaner inside than out. New paint bright (and plentiful) décor. Don't let the exterior fool you, the food is fantastic.

This restaurant is authentic Mexican food. It's really a hit or miss, but it's still much better than the other Mexican restaurants in Lake Dallas. The tacos are good, the tamales are not even edible. The service is always excellent.

This place is so small that it doesn't even appear in the Yellow Pages! And if you drove by it without knowing anything about it, you'd keep going. I never would have tried it if it hadn't been recommended by a neighbor. So we tried it once and we were hooked! Family owned and operated (in fact, their 8 year old granddaughter was our waitress one night last week), this small hole in the wall is a bit of heaven if you live for authentic Mexican food. Always greeted by family members when you walk in the door, it only takes a few visits for them to know your drink of choice and the type of food you like. While we haven't tried everything on the menu, everything we have had has been delicious. My husband is fond of the beef burritos, and I especially like the fresh tasting chili con carne that comes over the cheese enchiladas. And their guacamole is almost as good as mine! By the way, if you're into Mexican pottery and artifacts, they also double as a gift shop.

I've driven by this restaurant for years, and now I know what I've been missing--delicious, authentic Mexican food. Huevos rancheros is fabulous with a spicy, homemade sauce full of fresh veggies. And, as is true with all good Mexican restaurants, the beans and rice are delicious. Give them a try--you won't be sorry.
