This food is ADDICTING. Best Mexican food in town 100%. Quality food (authentic), and fair servings for price! We were recommended this place by friends. Imported sodas! Family friendly environment. It’s definitely a hole in the wall. You just walk in, order at the front and pay when you leave. The woman helping us was nice and friendly with advice for what to eat since it was our first time there. Being a new resident of Tahlequah, this place definitely puts a smile on my face and even reminds me of home.

Authentic everything! Hands down im the top 3 tacos I have had in my life. All meat choices have great flavor, and are tinder and juicy. You walk in and place your order at the counter by the kitchen. The smell is immediately evident and it smells wonderful! They have fountain drinks, plastic bottle drinks and glass bottle drinks. If you order queso, salsa or guac be aware it comes with one serving of chips. Bottomless chips and salsa are not complementary. The building is small but the prices are reasonable and the food is great!
