Customer Reviews

★★★★★ 5.0 Tyler Reed · Feb 2024

Good: 1. Great food 2. Great family atmosphere 3. Great prices Showed up for the grand opening and gave it a shot. Grand openings never seem to go as planned so they are working out kinks like the line to order was a bit long and the wait for food took awhile. We ordered three street tacos, one fajita chicken and two brisket and they tasted great we liked the brisket more than the chicken. We also ordered the large quesadilla fajita chicken and it was great as well. While we waited for the food we were offered free chips and salsa. The prices are pretty cheap and we really enjoyed the food even with how hectic the opening was. It’s a family owned small restaurant and great place for Mexican food. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a shot!

★★★★★ 5.0 Steven Carvajal · Nov 2024

We'd basically given up on finding good Mexican food anywhere north of Austin, so we were shocked to stumble upon this great little place. It's up here a 100 miles west of Fort worth and 50 miles east of Abilene, in Ranger Texas. It is a hole in the wall, so don't expect anything fancy, but the food! We had perfectly seasoned beef and cheese enchiladas, barbacoa quesadilla in toasted homemade flour Tortillas, and loaded nachos with pork Al Pastor. Service was great; Chela, her son, and husband all checked on us. We love this place and we love looking for and supporting small businesses! If you're in the area stop on by for breakfast or lunch.

Some of the best tacos I have ever had. Damn good salsa also

★★★★★ 5.0 Nathan Stilke · Apr 2025

Family owned businesses. Very friendly. I’ve eaten here several times always delicious. The red salsa has a taste like anything we’ve had. Very addictive 🥰

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Brenda Ramírez · Oct 2025

The food was subpar. The service was good. They greeted us right away and helped us, but we were the only ones there. My biggest thing is the lack of cleanliness of the restaurant. The restroom was terrible. You could tell it hadn’t been cleaned in months. I couldn’t even use the bathroom. Cleanliness is the most important part for me when I’m reviewing a place and well, not too great.
