“ Awesome !! Hearty home style meals , breakfast, lunch. Nice stop after more than 3 hrs drive from San Antonio. Enjoyed it. ”
“ Food was great! Pancakes are worth it. The have corn & flour tortilla chips. Very good! Coffee is better than a lot of places. Will be back again. Server was hilarious! ”
“ It is very small place, but food is very good. We went at 11am and there were quiet a few people eating. They don't serve alcohol, and are only open from 5am till 2pm. Chips and salsa are served before the meal. The salsa was mild, and tasty, but our server did say they did have some that's hotter if we wanted. I had a orange Fanta soda in the bottle, and my friend had horchata. Very good. The service was excellent, the owner is right there in house cooking. I had the chili Relleno plate made with fajitas meat. It was delicious with lots of cheese. My friend had fajitas he said they were good. The Fajitas were served with 4 different meats, Beaf, chicken, shrimp and sausage. The meals were served with very yummy homemade tortillas. I thought everything was reasonably priced and good potions. The menu had a lot of different things, and it looked like they serve a good breakfast too. We will go back! ”
