"Came in on taco Tuesday. I'm from Kansas city so a little out of town for me. Chips are crispy and can hold a good amount of salsa on them. Regular salsa is flavorful and mild. The spicy salsa is hot but not as flavorful. If you combine them it's almost perfect. Ordered 4 crispy tacos which only took about 5 mins to come out. Tacos were extremely good. I would recommend this place when you come to town."

"My husband and I went here for lunch today with our daughter. We drove here all the way from Hughesville, Missouri. I've always driven by for years stopping at the sonic, and finally, I got to try their amazing food and so happy I finally came. I'm a forever customer. Their green salsa is amazing. Their chips are a perfect crunch. Better than other Mexican restaurants. For my main meal, I ordered the enchilada Supremeo. I had 1 beef, chicken, cheese, and bean enchiladas. The sauce is delicious. I love that they put the fresh lettuce and shredded cheese on top. My husband had the steak queseilla it was full of steak and cheese and very delicious. We honestly filled up on the salsa and chips, so we had to take most of our food home for dinner later. We will definitely be back."

"Was out with family/grandkids and our son-in-law said this was a great place to eat, he said they eat there often. They were slow when we stopped in and got seated right away, our server Darlene was fantastic, very prompt, personable and friendly. Chips, salsa and queso were great and when our meals arrived I admit they were good. Temperature, appearance and flavor was just right (not too spicy, not too bland). Darlene stopped by to check on us and refills were prompt. Although it's a little out of our regular travels, we would definitely visit again!"
