Great food, very authentic, salsa is really good and the beer is cold!! We had a chicken quesadilla and a taco plate. Both were really good!! We will definitely visit again when we’re in Amarillo.

Interesting old place that makes you feel it's been around forever. The first thing they brought was chips and a pitcher (yes, a small pitcher!!) of salsa! The drinks were good as was the food. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. We're happy we came!

I absolutely loved this place! A friend that lives in the area recommends this restaurant, and I'm glad they did. I grew up in Texas, so I know good Mexican food. This place reminds me of a restaurant growing up that is no longer in business in the valley. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The people in this town are awesome too. I met several teachers in the area there for dinner. I had a great time and will be back if I pass through again. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Go try for yourself! If anyone knows the teacher to my left in the picture tell her I think she is cute.
