    Thirsty Thursday=$2 Mexican beer!! Whutttttt?!?? Omg!!!! It was awesome. First, salsa is good-not too chunky and not too spicy. I ordered the #14, 2 chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce, a tostada and a beef taco, for $7.59!! Hubs enjoyed the #2, 2 cheese enchiladas with chili con carne and queso sauces, rice, beans, beef taco and a tostada as well. The food was served piping hot-the way I like it! The ground beef in the taco was leaning towards a bit too salty.

    But all in all it was great food and Miss Priscilla was a very attentive server. We will definitely be back to try Taco Tuesday=$2 tacos and $3 margaritas

    Good little restaurant.  Food is authentic, drinks good, prices good.  Staff isn't very friendly, they are in a rush to get you in and out.  They will point to which table they want you to sit at...lol.    All in all, a decent place.

    Wow! I can't believe it's taken this long for me to review this amazing place. I've eaten here no less than twenty times and i have never had a bad experience. Live music on Saturdays is always pleasant and the owners bring in some cool people to sing. Maria has our drink orders down and once you sit with her a few times she feels like family. Overall it's a great atmosphere, quick service and the food never disappoints! Make sure you try the shrimp quesadilla, and if you want to split fajitas, the fajitas for one is more than enough for two.

    Great Tex-Mex food.  We travel a lot and this is the first place we go to when we return home.

    Favorite Mexican food place in Van Alstyne. Sad that they're not open on Sunday. Food is good and the alcoholic drinks are really good. Maria is the best waitress there, but all are very friendly.
