Cute place to eat. Looked like it is very popular with locals. We had cheese enchiladas and shrimp Diablo. Both were very good. Sopapillas for desert are a must. Will try other menu items the next time we are visiting the town.

Great food. Family owned and operated. The beans were amazing, and the red sauce full of rich flavors. All very affordable with big portions.

Great place on historic route 66! Excellent Mexican food. Welcoming efficient staff. Beautiful art paintings on walls (for sale) as well as Route 66 souvenirs. Nice tamales and quesidillas. See photos. Very reasonable prices...
