A few months ago we stopped for gas and a bathroom break as we traveled from AZ to TX. We saw the food by the cash register and grabbed several burritos and hit the road. As we drove, and ate, we were very surprised at how great the food was! We searched and searched online and couldn’t find the place. Today as we are driving from TX to AZ we found it!! And how happy we were to see it’s an attached restaurant as well! Stop by, grab some food to go, or get a table and sit for a spell! The food here is awesome and the service equally great!

My friend and colleague recommended this place a few months ago but even though I go through there a lot, never really felt like stopping I guess because I didn't had much faith. Turns out food was very good along with service probably will be stopping more often from now on. Delicious

Waitresses were both courteous. Wait time for a home cooked meal was about 10 mins. Food was fresh and hot. Straight out your momma's kitchen good

I'm so glad we found this place! it's a great hole in the wall cafe. it's open 24/7. we ate here after the races at 1am and again at noon, and both times service and food was excellent!! highly recommend! if you're a trucker and cant find parking, the other truck stop across the street has over 100 spots and was only 1/4 full on a Friday night.

Had dinner at this restaurant. The food was great, had green enchiladas and the caldo de 7 mares. Big servings! The best part was the history of the town displayed on the wall! Enjoy

Whenever I’m in town I try to stop at this restaurant to eat. The food is authentic and delicious. The portions are perfect, you will not leave hungry. The Green Chicken Enchiladas have a good kick to them. If you cannot handle spicy food, steer clear of them. They are delicious and flavorful however. My daughter really enjoys the Albóndigas and I really like the Caldo de Res. We tried the gorditas but they seemed to be missing salt or flavor in general, so I probably wouldn’t order them again. This place will satisfy your hunger and leave you feeling happy. It simply is good Mexican Food.
