Big and open. A. It expensive for a road side restaurant. English menu. Great service
Great Food, Absolute good flavor & very very good service & tortillas as well. I defenetly recommend stopping here & enjoy the rest of your trip.
This place has great organic meals, Mexican homemade! Clean and tasteful food. We ordered Arrachera steak and consomé de Cabrito (Soup with goat meat). Recommended‼
Another check mark on my bucket list - eating the original “Cabrito” a young or baby goat if translated correctly. The owner took for the English translation “kid” what might lead to confusions. Goat isn’t my favorite dish, but my Mexican companions referred to the grilled shoulder and I have to say it is delicious. The restaurant is big enough to host large groups. After a return trip from Monterrey the exact right place to fill your belly. Pricing is good.
Good place to stop, they have a lot of goat options. Get the tortas for the cheapest option.
Delicious food, excellent staff, nice dining space, and very calm area. I recomend this place to anyone who wants an affordable and great meal!
Great food, great service, and some of the best prices in all of Mexico. We just happened by on our way to Laredo. Food and drink for 3 for under 200 pesos!
