Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Amazing experience - Top notch margaritas Incredible food Outstanding service Overall, we could not have had a better time. The service we received was essentially sunshine in human form, and that feeling of sunshine could be tasted in the food. Job well done!"
"This is such a lovely spot! I found it on the Find Me GF (Gluten Free) app and I'm so glad I did! The staff is wonderful, attentive, and patient as I navigate all my allergy needs. They know what's up with gluten allergies and communicate clearly what's safe, what isn't, and what can be MADE safe. They even have GF chips that are SO GOOD! I got the carnitas plate, loved it."
"Great little eatery, off the freeway about 1 mile on Main Street, Barstow. Few tables indoor. Food is good but very loud due to no sound absorption materials inside. I certainly will eat here again by be aware it closes at 7pm."
"Wonderful experience here. Great for a quick stop. Walked in, and greeted by the workers. I believe it’s a family owned business, they were all so attentive and kind. Bathroom was pretty clean too (which is important to me when on a roadtrip lol). Menu was great, it truly is a Mexican American mix. Portions and prices were reasonable. It’s a bit cramped in there but it wasn’t a problem to us. Give it a shot!"
"Thank you for a lovely meal on our road trip - it’s not often we review, but had to for such a great independent, female-owned business! We’re both vegetarian and you made it so easy. The potato tacos were GREAT!"
"Very attentive staff, who took time to navigate the menu and steer us in the right direction for our families many food allergies and intolerances. They are very GF considerate and they were able to get all of us something to make our bellies full. I would recommend anytime if you are traveling through Barstow. Its a little off the Interstate, but well worth the trip if you need a friendly GF experience. No photos becuase food was too tasty to resist. I personally ate a Relleno burger which was excellent (I can eat gluten)."
"Authentic Mexican fare, nice owners, food was super delicious Cozy interior. Best in town!"
"Me and two of my friends drove all the way from Las Vegas to have lunch here! It is family owned and operated bin in business for 71 years and their homemade recipes are amazing I love the cheese and onion enchilada and their chicken taco was amazing!"
