This place deserves more attention! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely amazing!! My family of four had a delightful meal here, and we all left satisfied for under $85. The fajitas were the best we've enjoyed in ages. I highly recommend it—10 out of 10!

We all enjoyed our food. It was authentic. We even enjoyed the rice and beans, which we typically don’t like in other places. We are definitely coming back. We had the pollo ranchero, pollo Guadalajara, mixed fajitas, tapatío special, veggie quesadillas, pollo de caldo. All were great!

We usually frequent the location on southwest parkway but decided to try the central freeway location on Mother's Day. I love the atmosphere. We almost always get chicken and beef fajitas. They were NOT sizzling when the food was brought to us, so that means they sat for a bit before served. They were both super greasy, as seen in the pictures. Our server finished sweeping the deck after taking our drink order and before filling our drink order. Maybe it will be better on our next visit.

Shrimp Taco plate was delicious. Portion size was good and the flavor was mild and lightly seasoned. Rice and beans were tasty as well. Margarita was mixed smoothly and had no heartburn after. Erica is a nice server and bartender, busy and attentive...visiting but ill probably come back.

We stopped here on our way through to Amarillo. Everything was delicious! We got the lunch special #4 and 5, and the kids each got a #3. Their lunch portions are quite large. Great value for the money. We’d definitely eat here again.
