If you are a fan a richly flavored, home style cooked, authentic Mexican food... you need to find your way here. A short 25 min drive from Lynchburg.
Generous portions (especially in the drinks), friendly and attentive staff and the best Mexican food I've ever eaten.... and it's my favorite type of food to eat.
The refried beans were wonderful (and we never eat those when we get them at restaurants)
The must try dish here is the Molcajete... see my picture for the view.... try it and tell me I'm wrong -

A true Mexican restaurant. Service, atmosphere, food and price were excellent. This is the go to place in the area. Very short review but when a place is this outstanding no extra words are needed.

Pretty good! A little stingy with their chips and salsa which is always a bummer but i get why and the food was great ! I got the loco burrito and subbed my chicken or beef for carnitas... BOMB. Totally hit the spot. Guac was good, service was prompt and waiter was wonderful. Love to find a new Mexican spot I adore in a town i hit often, will be back again especially on a cooler day when I can take advantage of that super cute and quaint lil outdoor seating area! All n all great overall great experience!

We stopped in on our way from Virginia to NC. If you are making the same trip, and are looking for a nice stop, I recommend this joint.
The chips were good, the salsa was adequate. I honestly can't remember the names of our dishes. I ordered this cheesy chicken and sausage plate that was AWESOME. It had a small kick, and oh so much flavor!
My buddy ordered this steak dish that was served wrapped in a tortilla. I don't recommend the steak, it was dry, and lacked seasoning.
The customer service was great, and they were very accommodating. We sat at the bar so we could watch the NFL draft. They set us up so we could do so.
3.75 is the number of stars I'd like to give, but can't. So I rounded up. -

I love the food and the white sauce you get with the chips and salsa. I just wished the waiters were happier and more presentable.
