The sweet lady was working hard taking orders, cooking and delivering great food! This was the largest chicken quesadilla I've ever had and it was fantastic. Well worth the walk over from the truck stop. This lady does a great job!

It was great food and service, But seemed to be very expensive for what i got. I paid $18+ for 5 street tacos. Everything was freshly made. Excellent food!

You wouldn't know by the looks of it from the outside but this lady makes some amazing food. I didn't think much of it when I walked up and ordered two pork gorditas with rice and beans but that was some of the best food ever. The cost was a little more than I thought it might be but it was kind of worth it. Ask how much if you want to know because prices are not posted.
