    Food is made fresh. I love the breaded chicken in the tora's. Place is pretty clean, and staff is friendly. Fresh produce and regular grocery store food. My friend and I both like the food. Been going their about 6 months on and of when I get in the area. We did eat in the back dinning area once (it only opens certain days and hours) but it was very cold. I even was dressed with layers to be outside at the junk yard down the street as that is were I came from. At least their I am moving to stay warm. Me and my friend were both very cold. I asked the waitress to fix it and nothing happened. I spoke with the older guy (think he runs it) their about just buying a plug in the wall space heater ( like $20ish) to get the chill out and no response. It had to be been about 60 degree's. Now on I just eat at the little counter up front. Beware of Google "local guides". Most post vague reviews just to score points with Google from places they never visited. Anyone can write good place.

    The most delicious authentic Mexican food for the money. Very good food at a fair price! I especially love the steak tacos. Often, I ask my 12-year-old what he wants to eat, and more often than not it's tacos. Great Elotas too!

    A small roadside stand with awesome mostly authentic Mexican dishes. They now have a few tables for dining.
