“ As a Semi-Truck Driver, it's in a convenient location to be able to have a better option rather than only settling for truck stop fast food. I had the Ceviche Tostada and Street Tacos. I highly recommend the Barbacoa. ”

“ Lupita was our beautiful server. She was very kind and didn't rush us. She answered our questions about the food and we ordered. Seat yourself. Busy as it needs to be. Back side of truck stop and life is inside their food! I ordered lingua quesadilla. The red & green sauce were fresh and refrigerated. Both equally delicious but the star was the lingua!!!! So damn good and I'm from Jefferson, OR so I'll be wishing. Dreaming. Hoping. For these lingua quesadillas forever more. The hubs ordered ground beef taco & GB enchilada with rice and beans. He loved it! Ate most of it of his food Richie's for him is a big deal these days. The have Jarritos pineapple and Coca~Cola in the bottle. So yup dream meal. Only small issue. No flan but I have that back home. I gotta find a way to send some to Lupita. She is a lover of flan also. Will come here every time I pass through! Down home Mexican food in a nice little family feeling hideaway. Ambience Oh! AND the bar in back is big and real nice! Come cool off and chill out! ”
“ We came in on taco Tuesday, took a while to find the place behind the truckstop. Quaint place got a bar in the back restaurant in the front gambling exact all kinds of tequila service was good cause it was so quiet taco plates for taco Tuesday. The service has been good. Friendly ice looks pretty clean. It's always a good thing I love the Homie colors Mexico we did have a couple Modelo beers to 20 ounce. They're huge for lunch. Oh another thing the street tacos are not the baby street tacos they're medium size which is a plus for sure. ”
“ Server was really sweet. I got my food to go and waited at a table outside with my dogs and had a beer while I waited. The nachos were good, but the salsa I got to go was delicious and had a good bite. I wish I would have known because I would have asked for another. The menu was huge so I might try it again. The place is tucked behind a truck stop so lots of truckers dining in. ”
