Best nachos in town! Love the restaurant and the owner and it’s a nice atmosphere to be in

What a gem to find on a cross country road trip! Had the supreme quesadilla, which came with queso sauce on top - haven't had it that way before but now my favorite way!

Taco Tuesday! Thanks for mentioning the taco special. They were very good. I also enjoyed watching the family work. Next time we will eat there.

Stopped here for a late lunch (1pm) and enjoyed my meal! The pollo taco salad was exactly what I was craving. I also enjoyed the fries and queso as an appetizer. Finally I had a Horchata for desert and it was super refreshing. I live in California and travel to Mexico frequently. When it comes to Mexican food I have some high expectations. This location exceeded those expectations! Thanks.

We went here for our 10th wedding anniversary and the waitress and her daughter waited on us. They were so nice, very attentive, and the food was really great.

We all made happy plates. This is a great little family run Mexican restaurant that we happened upon. We ended up so full and happy. My husband loved his fajitas with chicken and chorizo. My chicken fajitas were very well seasoned and cooked. The complimentary salsa was thick and tasty. My daughter really enjoyed her crunchy kid's taco. We will definitely make it a point to come back next time we're in the area.

This place is a hidden gem! I live in San Diego, and love Mexican food. However it always seems that the further you get from the border, the less "authentic" Mexican food is. Well, that is not the case here! This is a family owned business that had three generations working the night I stopped there, and let me sure you the work they put into it shows. I had the chicken mole enchiladas, and it was amazing! Good mole is hard to do well, and it's harder to find!! But I found it in Pratt, Kansas. My only regret is that it's so far away from San Diego, I don't know when I'll be able to get back... Service was excellent, food was excellent, and the prices not crazy.

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and we finally went today for lunch!!! Amazing amazing food like wow!!! I had the chimichanga loca my toddler she had thr Pollo bandido. She's never had Mexican food and she liked it alot especially the salsa!!!! Will definitely be back and highly recommend
