    The wife and I both had taco salads. I had the beef she had the chicken. Let me tell you. One of the best taco salads I've ever had. The salsa here is out of this world. For a little hole in the wall place the food was excellent. Highly recommend!

    We are new in town and open to trying every restaurant in Tupelo. We love Mexican food as I was raised in So Cal on the real deal. We went with open mind.
    There is no decors to speak of, no Mexican ambiance per say, it's very small. There were only 2servers and they were very friendly. But we came for the food.
    The chips are adequate and the Salsa is NOT. I ordered one of my favorite Mexican plates, Tacos Carne Asada. I don't know what cut of beef it was but it was NOT steak, it had so much fat and gristle I could only eat about 50% of it. They were terrible.
    My husband ordered what he often does at Mexican restaurants, Chimichanga. He lived in Spain many years and knows Latin food. He said it was nothing like any other Chimichanga he had ever had, and it was bad.  
    So we tried it, were disappointed, and we will never return.

    Stopped here after driving several hours to return home from vacation. Verdict is good but not great. Positives were the salsa and cheese dip. I had the enchiladas tapiatas wife had chicken nachos. The enchiladas cheese filling resembled more of a mozzarella texture and taste than the usual "Mexican" cheese I have grown accustomed to. Overall good service and decent food.  Not worth a special trip but fills you up if you are hungry.

    The margaritas were good but unfortunately that's about it. The food was bland and unexceptional, the service was barely adequate - I had to ask for water 4 times. We're just passing through so obviously we won't be back.

    Some of the food I ate here was okay and some of it was pretty weird.  One of the weirder parts was the salsa which had an unpleasant metallic taste.

    Also I was eating here and there was only one other customer in the place but then the hostess disappeared for like 15 minutes and other customers were showing up and standing around the front waiting to be seated and then just left.

    It wasn't my favorite restaurant I guess, is what I'm trying to say.

    Like if the apocalypse happened and there were only three restaurants left on the entire planet and this was one of them there's a fairly good chance it would be my third favorite restaurant and it would definitely not be my first favorite restaurant unless the other two restaurants were Shoney's and The Dumpster Behind the Fernley I-80 Dennys.
