This is a nice place to go to for some really good food. W The waitresses do pretty well. They get busy sometimes, as there doesn't seem like they have enough help. But that's with most places of late, they do do pretty good, all in all. Food is way delicious. Only I'm not crazy about their refried beans. But their sour creamed sauce chicken enchiladas are delicious! My husband enjoyed what he had, too. Decent atmosphere, although some folks in there don't realize other people are there too. They talk really loud sometimes. Not necessarily trying to be rude; I just don't realize how loud they are, I think. Kind of interrupts others trying to enjoy their meals.

Fast and friendly. Waitress was nice and attentive despite running the place all by herself. Food was ordered and to the table in 3 minutes. Took longer getting a menu and tea than it did for the food to come. Obviously because it's all pre-made and warmed up in the microwave. For the most part I don't mind that but when you microwave the taco shells they get chewy. Was impressed with the frijoles. Home made. Not from a can or dehydrated bag.
