"The food was excellent. Although the reviews were up and down, our local friend insisted the food was delicious and he was right. We ordered a No 4 lunch special that had a pork tamale, beef enchilada, beef taco, rice and beans. They brought out chips with bean dip and some salsa while waiting for the food, which many restaurants now charge for. The bean dip and refried beans were quite flavorful (maybe the same). While I love bean dip, even my husband said that the bean dip was excellent. The salsa was good, but could have used a little more hot spice for me. The pork tamale was the absolute best I have had in a long time. The beef enchilada was filled with savory shredded beef and quite a bit of it, more than most restaurants give. The beef taco was good, but could have used some salsa. Luckily, we had salsa from the chips we put on it, which made it excellent. The rice was normal Mexican rice. Overall, it was a huge lunch serving that we split and both of us were stuffed full. Our friend ordered a No 11 with chile rellenos and other stuff. His meal was huge and he savored every bite. We used to come here 30 years ago for Happy Hour and the food is just as delicious as it was then. Actually, our waiter/bartender, David, said he started out at this restaurant 30 years ago and recited the Happy Hour free food menu from 30 years ago. David was very friendly, personable, and gave us excellent service. We'll definitely return next time we are in town. Although you can't tell from the outside, it's a nice restaurant with great food and great service, which is why they have been around at least 30 years that I know of and probably quite a bit longer."
