The last time I ate here I think I was probably 10 years old, if that, dragged in over my protesting. I complained bitterly about the lack of Happy Meal toy at the time, but forgive me as I was just a dumb kid.Now, some number of years that seems way too large later I returned and am I glad that I did. I'll start with the chips, they were exactly what tortilla chips should be, warm and fresh and with just the right amount of salt. The red sauce approaches perfection, it tastes fantastic and is thick enough that you can pile it up on the chips without worry about dribbling sauce everywhere as it travels to your chip-hole. Bonus, tasty, basic queso came out with the pre-ordering chips and salsa.We had tostadas and spinach enchiladas, both were delicious as were the rice and beans on the side.Service was great too, just an all around solid Mexican food experience and it didn't break the bank to get out the door. Will be back.

The server was good, but he forgot our caso dip. Everything else, he was spot on.The chicken was very dry and tough with absolutely no seasoning whatsoever. The chips were over cooked, the salsa was very good.It is extremely rare for me to leave a bad review, but this needs to be put out there. Base on the previous reviews, is why we stopped here. We are very disappointed. Our daughter ate one bite of her lunch then left the rest. I ate just enough to keep me from starving until we can go through a drive through.

Great authentic Mexican food that really hits the spot. Everything is homemade and is sure to please. The chips and salsa are truly amazing but be warned it’s spicy. If you think that Taco Bell is Mexican food this will be a welcome eye opener… The original building at this location recently burned down but the owners are rebuilding on the same site and it should reopen soon. They also have another location outside of town that serves the same great food.

I have no idea what just happened here lol and I ordered in Spanish since she spoke to me in Spanish first. So I ordered in her preferred language to make it easier and there was still a huge misunderstanding.So I ordered the lunch enchiladas. I asked for refried beans instead of charro. She gave me 2 options for the enchilada filling: ground beef or cheese. I chose cheese. I was then served ground beef enchiladas topped with nacho cheese. No enchilada sauce. And for the side, refried beans AND charro beans and no rice. So I asked, does it not come with rice? She’s like “oh you wanted rice?” And brings me rice. As I’m eating, a gentlemen comes out the kitchen, grabs my charro beans, and gives it to someone in the table behind me. Luckily I hadn’t touched it but if I did, that would have been gross. THEN, when I got the bill, I was charged extra for the nacho cheese that I didn’t want. I just wanted a simple order of enchiladas ??
Food is delicious. Taste so good. Order water though. Otherwise it's about $4 and you get 1 bottle of coke next to a cup of ice with no free refills. Staff was very nice. Chairs and tables are cheap and need replacement. Place is clean. I had diarrhea the very next day.
I’ve been coming here for years. Hands down my favorite for lunch in Lufkin.. if u love REAL Mexican food.

The service sucked. Had small ants by the window next to the table a few ended up on the table. We finally got a refill on our drinks just as we were finishing up eating. The lunch special is small u either get 2 tacos or 2 enchiladas and you can't make any substitutes. Both were good comes with refried beans and Mexican rice. You get chips and salsa before u get your meal. I thought maybe just our chips were burnt but everyone had burnt chips.
