We were here for the first time 2 days ago and couldn’t wait to go back. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. The staff is very accommodating and have been very nice and sweet both times we have gone in there. It’s clean and overall just a positive experience with food, staff and their facility. They serve a full menu all day.
My brother took me here when visiting Amarillo for one of the first times. I live here now and if I'm going to a place that I know will have good tacos, I'm going here. Small place so don't worry too much about the atmosphere.
I categorized this place as a Mexican fast food restaurant. I ordered the combination plate that includes two meats, spanish rice, refried beans, and a choice of corn or flour tortillas. I chose barbacoa and lengua with the flour tortillas. My wife chose the taco plate, it comes with three choice of meat tacos, beans, and spanish rice. The tortillas are ok if you keep them wrapped up and don't open the foil. Once opened, they will turn hard slowly if not eaten in an ample amount of time. The rice is dry, bland, and tasted grainy/earthy. They do have very good drinks a variety. A very good assortment of salsa and / or chile sauces. Both plates had very good tasting meat. There was a limited amount of seating for the large incoming number of people, but I guess it was just fine for everyone. They have a drive up and plenty of parking space. If you bring kids that like Mexican food, it's a good place. I didn’t see any toddler or a child's menu. You order off an overhead board. They bring you the order to your table. The beans are ok. They just need some doctoring with the salsa bar. Great presentation on the plate. If you're in a hurry and very hungry, it may be worth a try, but not a sit back and relax kinda place. My opinion. The staff is friendly, attentive, and professional. They do take care of what you want and order.
Food was good. Service was good. 2 girls in front both spoke good English and Spanish! Prices were a bit on the high side for lunch abt $9-$10 per person. But overall was worth it. Traffic gets congested at lunchtime so go early! Only about 7-8 tables to sit at. Drive thru open too!
First time there and really enjoyed their food. The service was good, the menu is on the wall behind the counter and really easy to read. Prices are good, the restroom was clean, it was a good first time experience. It's located on Bell right by I-40 so traffic can be a bit busy most of the day but don't let that stop you from pulling in and trying their food.
