We stopped at this restaurant tonight (Jun16) and were seated immediately. Chips and salsa were brought to the table pronto. Shortly thereafter the waiter came for our drink order. We requested two margaritas and were informed that they did not served them (a review from mid-2012, below, mentions them, so perhaps something's changed; we wanted them because it had been... More

Locally owned, nice people, good food, good prices. While it may not look like much from the outside, being in an old Wendy's building, it is a local favorite and a staple for lunch!

We have at at every Mexican place we know of in the tri-cities and this place is the bomb. My family and I have all voted it our favorite. Their fajitas are delish. My wife always orders those and I get a combo platter. My two daughters order al la carte (normally tacos and rice). Ate there tonight and left... More

If you have not eaten here, then you should. I have eaten a lot of Mexican and this place is great. Always friendly and prompt. Good food and prices are good. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting Mexican food in the tri-cities.

Your stereotypical East TN "mexican" food. As a former TX resident this is barely above microwave quality /tv dinner quality. Its not that bad but also not that good. If you need a place to "flop" and eat something cheap I suppose it would do.

I grew up on Mexican food on the Texas/Mexico border. This has to be the WORST Mexican food I have eaten in my 60 years. Rolling taco meat in a tortilla and pouring red sauce (tasted more like spicey marinary) does not make an enchilada. The taco's at Taco Bell or better and cheaper!. Whenever we travel we always try... More

I went for luch and did not go away hungry! What an amazing value for your dollar too. Interesting choices on the menus mean there is something for everyone. The location is very simple and basic, but you can't disagree with the quality and value if you are looking more for good food vs. fancy atmosphere.
