Omg, I m far away from Chicago and this place really does have authentic food. This is the first place I have found in Amarillo that does serve real authentic Mexican food. My mom had the chilaquiles with asada, my daughter had the quesadillas with rice and beans, I had the 3 taco plate of asada and my hubby had the chiles rellenos. Everything was great. Surely coming back when I drive thru again. Great friendly staff, great atmosphere.

This is my favorite place to go for tacos. I usually go during lunch and get their lunch plate. If Im getting my food to go I often like to sit at the bar so I can have a quick drink while I wait. Id rate the service higher but sometimes when I go nobody helps me at the bar. When I eat there the service is great so over all Id recommend this place. I also really like that the give you guacamole with your meal.

Went there for breakfast and got seated right away. Got our order which was cold and the asada resembled something of boot leather.Just a cut of the cheapest beef tossed on the flat top and cooked to the toughness of a cheap Walmart boot. Ordered the plate with eggs but they didn t come out with the plate. Once those were ordered they came out when we were ready to leave . Everything was cold and the corn tortillas were cold and still mushy masa. Left 3/4 on the plate. Taco Bell breakfast would have been better.

The enchiladas were delicious, as were the rice and beans. Included guacamole was also amazing. Chips were good but prefer more seasoning. The hot sauce had great flavor that made up for it. The fajita meat was the only disappointment. It and the onions and peppers just didnt have a lot of flavor and seemed under seasoned. The tortillas were fresh and delicious, though.

And who doesn t love a well crafted margarita? I know I do! The staff is always so friendly, and you can tell they put into their customers as well as their plates.

The place must of changed hands, or the cook has changed. The salsa was mild, chips were from a bag, two of our dishes came out cold, the chicken fajitas had a weird flavor, the enchilada was cold and had a unfamiliar white cheese on top, our plates were cold which made our food cold. The only good thing was the music, the live players are gone. We won t go back again.
