    Absolutely Love this place! Here's a little secret. Love to sit on the back side. It's the side closest to the Main St which is the original building. The reason; it is quiet and usually only a few folks on this side. The bar side is hopping. No joke. My wife and I always have a great relaxing quiet time on this side. Oh and the food and service is outstanding. Enjoyed a huge ribeye steak seasoned perfectly with sour cream and butter on bake potato with huge salad and melt in your mouth Texas Toast for 23.95. We split it and had more than enough. Love this place. Give it a try!

    It seems to be a local favorite but we found the food rather bland. The shredded beef was very dry and so was the chicken. The salsas that was served with the chips was supposed to very spicy, so we asked for mild which was delicious but they charge extra for it. $2.50 per dish also $1.50 per sample cup of sour cream. That really pads the check really fast.

    I agree with the other reviews, the food was totally bland, meat dry, and no sauce on anything and no sign of cheese. Sorry to say it, but the service was, "the worst” we have ever seen in any restaurant in our lives. They say they lost our order, and when we did get it served, there were no, utensils. We had to ask twice for utensils versus eating with our fingers. They then overcharged for both dishes from stated menu price. On the bright side the margaritas were decent. We won’t give them any more chances.

    What happened? Did someone buyout my favorite Mexican food restaurant? The quality just wasn't there and now you charge for your great tasting salsa which was always a great bonus to go with the thin crispy chips (which weren't thin or crispy anymore) while you wait for your food. I'm so disappointed! Hopefully you guys can get back to your roots and bring that element of tradition back into your food. There's a reason why you aren't as busy as you used to be. This is a fine example of the saying "if it ain't broke don't try to fix it "

    Awesome place great food I was in and out the staff was friendly atmosphere was warm definitely rustic. Seen a couple complaints on reviews obviously you cant please everyone. Probably the kind of person that would order black coffee and sue when they burn themselves. I love this place and i will be back. Thank you for an awesome experience
