If you haven’t been, please go! This place is impeccable. Flavors are Devine. The one in Claverack doesn’t compare. Also, their Paloma’s are the BEST!

Great authentic Mexican spot on the side of the road tucked away in farm country. Great Tequila selection and extremely tasty food. Solid margaritas made with fresh lime juice and cointreau the way they should be. Delicious house made chunky salsa. Super fresh super authentic all around.

We stopped by here super randomly on our way home from camping. Beautiful flowers and very well kept garden got our attention. Food is beyond amazing, serving sizes are just perfect and prices just right. What really impressed us was a dessert tho - we didn’t eat better churros in a while. Absolute perfection. Seems to be small family business, the lady working there was beyond kind and helpful. 10/10 recommend, and get churros for sure!

Nice small little place, very friendly staff and the food was excellent. I had the shrimp fajita, my son had the steak fajita, both were excellent.

I had the chorizo appetizer and an order of enchilada mole Both were so good I couldn't believe it! I would come here again in a heartbeat. Chips looked to be homemade. Right now they don't have a liquor license and said they will have it in about 3 weeks

Amazing food and I was surprised. Bring the second time in this area for camping, this is about the best Mexican food I had in a long time. We started with some free chip and salsa and they are very generous for a refill. They are so good either we are starving or carving for food. Jalapeno margarita is the best item on the menu. Don't skip it. Don't go for the frozen one because they are that much weaker and too sweat. We ordered a few entrees. They are all amazing. I started with beef taco and it's about the best tacos I ever had. My friends got the fajita and all. Every dish is an art. We came here twice on a weekend and that's something. We pick this over fancy French so you got to pick on this.
