First time visit. Delicious, fresh food. I had the carne molida quesadilla and burrito with rice and beans. Got some snackies from the grocery store too. Will be back

I bought groceries here everything looks neat and well organized not thight like another mexican stores also has a restaurant I haven't tried it yet but I will update

I am from South Houston Texas and stopped here early today for lunch with a coworker who never had real comida mexicana. This place is great and the folks who took care of us were very nice and welcoming I will always recommend and the servings are generous and flavorful worth every dollar

Stopped in to get Tacos for my roofers! They said it’s their favorite local stop! Customer service was extremely friendly also!

If you want a great place to eat lunch in Decatur tgis is it. First time to visit was last Wednesday June 28th and ordered two quasodilas because the waiter said they were about medium sized, one chicken and one shrimp. Took about 15 minutes to get our food, and wow what a surprise. The two plate size quasidilas arrived hot and delicious. Total cost was 13.81. Have definitely found a great place for lunch. Only knock I have is that the chipset need salt.

First of all let me say this… the mature blonde haired woman was extremely nice and kind to me when I came in yesterday for lunch. I ordered two gorditas (chicken/steak) and they were excellent! The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that the waiter and a heavyset brunette woman kept staring at me while I was eating. They stared at me the entire time I was there which was extremely rude and it made me feel uncomfortable. I’m not sure as to why but I didn’t like it at all and I did leave the waiter a small tip for his service. This place has potential and I hope that it continues to thrive but that’s my only complaint. I probably won’t be going back because of that but only time will tell. Good luck to the owners!
