Not sure what the hype is about this place. The food is mediocre, the staff is nice though. The atmosphere needs to be updated, the chips and salsa - well you are charged extra for more than one bowl - and it was ok, I can make better salsa. The enchiladas which from reading other reviews is the rave, I got these- they were ok, again nothing to write home about. Cheap tex mex with good customer service in a small outdated place... its ok but not worth going back

This place is a local favorite. If you try to go during lunch, be prepared to wait. I've had delicious Migas here before, but the last time I went with a co-worker, both of us has intense stomach aches. It could be a fluke, but I'm not ready to try again.
FYI We thought it was the cheese.

Authentic Tex-Mex food with the the standard Tex Mex options one expects--strong frozen margaritas, chips and salsa, fajitas, carne guisada, tacos, and enchiladas of course. The food was fast and very good, especially with regards to the piping hot cheesy enchiladas. You can't go wrong with the Comida Regular or any of the combination plates. My only disappointment was with the service, which I would classify as "present" but kind of oblivious.

We ordered two Comida Regulars and a plate of carne guisada tacos, which was way more than the two of us could even think about finishing. Our fault, we were famished and had big eyes. We didn't even touch the tacos because the cheesy goodness of the enchiladas distracted our attention. We were too full but happy to take everything home. I hardly ate half of my Comida Regular and then scraped what was left from her plate onto my plate. Our server asked if we needed a couple of boxes, and we said yes. She then took my plate of enchiladas away, which I took to mean she'd box up for us. Nope. She returned with one styrofoam box and nothing else. We boxed out tacos up and waited, then realized that our server had probably just thrown away our plate of enchiladas. If it was a quarter of a plate, well maybe i would understand. However, I had a 3/4 full plate of food which any reasonably attentive server would assume to ask about before throwing away. I brought it up at the register and they offered to replace it of course, but I'd rather the server have a little more common sense and awareness than for us to have to wait around for them to replace the food we already paid for.

It was too noisey. I asked the waiter for 2 beef enchildas with beans and rice. And got two tacos instead. Later I asked the same waiter what did I order he said "A number 2". Looking at the menu #2 is two tacos. Too noisey all he heard was "2".

You could get a 5 star rating if you could just have ANY atmosphere at all! Last time I visited, the AC was dripping on me. The waitress move me, and it still dripped on me! Great fajitas, drinks, and breakfast!

Cozy, little family-owned restaurant. Every seat is full whenever I visit.

Salsa is HOT! But I love the flavor. Food is tasty, margaritas are so yum. Not to be missed. Been in business for quite awhile...over 20 years???

Food is good, but the service is terrible. They gave us the wrong order, and instead of taking it back to fix it... they tried to make us pay for it. She came back to the table, and acted like she didn t give a damn.

Slushy Rita's are a must :) the food is ok they give out big portions but nothing too fancy. they also don't try and advertise as anything fancy. Good prices, good drinks, friendly and prompt staff I never had any problems but I also don't set my expectations too high.

We have been going into the restaurant for many years. We always had gotten good service and good food until recently. The food has been hit or miss and the service as well. Twice I have had them tell me what I ordered is not on the menu and it is. They literally argued with me about it. Today we were in there and the service and food at best was ok. We were overcharged for our food. Our drink order was incorrect. The food was lukewarm. This is very disappointing.

If you've never been here before, please, please, stay away. You're just one more table getting between me and enchiladas. Just because this place sets THE standard when it comes to salsa, fajitas, and margaritas doesn't mean us regulars want any extra folks adding to the lines. It doesn't matter that the wait is worth it, regardless of length. Just avoid this place to begin with, it will save you a new restaurant addiction and save me 10 minutes getting my dinner.

It's a four star Mexican joint because it doesn't play around. The people who have rated this place highly understand and appreciate what it has to offer. The people who rated it poorly walked in with a grossly misunderstood idea of what their meal and experience will consist of. Overall solid food, atmosphere isn't 10/10, but that's not why people come here.

Had breakfast here today, Huevos Ranchero and Migas w/ chorizo and cheese added. The bacon (added ala carte) was crispy, the eggs were cooked just right, and overall my girlfriend and I were not disappointed. We arrived at opening to a full crowd of old timers and family folk who also understood what was immediately apparent to the both of us. This is an old school small town Mexican place in a town that continues to get bigger an bigger.

We will come back to try some fajitas and margaritas on another day!

An amazing lil place. It was packed! I never would have expected a small place to attract such a crowd. The down side for me was there was no Menudo or horchata so it's not authentic but its still a nice lil place

We just moved from south Austin to north Austin and found this place not far from us. It is clearly a local favorite as the place was packed even late on a Wednesday. I thoroughly enjoyed my food and the service was great. The frozen margaritas were basically liquid but they were tasty and strong. My partner was not a fan of the fajita chicken and after tasting it I probably would not recommend it either.
