Best Staff, Best Salsa, Best Location! Staff is knowledgeable, kind, and quick! Location is clean & has a great atmosphere. Queso, chips & SALSA… OH MY WORD. SO YUMMY! We recommend The Mama or the El Caballero if you want to share! Ask for the relish for an extra treat!

J T was my friendly wait staff. After a long drive across AR headed to my home in E TX & needed a break so I pulled into my favorite Mexican restaurant. J T brightened my weary mind & soul with her sweet personality & attentive service. Thank you J T for the great service!

Great Mexican restaurant here in Texarkana! I'd say the prices are decently priced and they also have a children's menu which is great. Our server was very friendly and the place was comfortable and not too rowdy. They also have a bar available and great complimentaries. A great stop for some food!
