“No Cap this food is fire times 10.... Some of the best Mexican food I have had at a restaurant ever!!!! Taste truly authentic and home cook. And has large portions so you get your money's worth.”
“Recommended! It's the Tex-Mex of my youth. It's the Tex-Mex I revered when I lived here in Austin in the mid-70s. I could have been happy with a $6 chalupa, but I wanted to have things to take home for tonight and tomorrow!”
“A humble little spot next to I35 with a lot to offer. Parking can be a bit tricky, but I managed to find a spot without too much trouble. The food was excellent—everything was fresh and flavorful.”
