Food was good sauce could of used a little spice to it. Rice was on point, beans were just ok. Tortillas weren't good they tasted like the they were bought already pressed they just cook them there super thin and perfectly rounded .

First time in Carthage and this restaurant. Food was awesome I plan on being back. I must admit I love jalapeΓ±o tree also but church member brought me here and it did not disappoint. I had fajitas I wish I thought to take pictures but ill do that next time. I will say may need to expand parking but I believe they know that lol

Always a good experience! This trip was to celebrate our special needs cousins 71st birthday, and they made her feel like a princess. There were 11 of us, and 6 were special needs, and they all were treated with respect! Food was great!

Food was good, the queso was a little colder than I would have liked and the fajita beef in my enchiladas could have used some more seasoning, but the meat was tender and we got our food fast. Our waiter was great.
