    This is a decent small town diner. I'll always stop in when I'm in the area.

    Today I had a chicken fried steak (2 pieces) which comes with steak fries and salad.

    Everything is served on one plate including the salad. So, basically the salad was the same lettuce and tomatoes they use for tacos. This is not my idea of a salad...but won't mark them down for this.

    The steak fries were of the frozen variety and good just right.

    I was really impressed with the chicken fried steak. It reminded me of something you'd cook at home and I could tell it was fresh and hadn't been frozen. It was covered in a nice peppered white gravy.

    The service was good and I have no complaints.

    So it's a small town eats type place. The hours everywhere are wrong. Attached is the current sign. There was some crazy explanation about owners changing and menus not coming in, blah blah. We saw six couples turn around when they noticed it was closed.
    Food was eh. Chicken fried chicken was alright, it was all equated to a TV dinner by a few in our party. The fajitas were not so great, oily, skillet fried. Then canned boring beans. Tortillas were homemade. The salad is a small pile of shredded lettuce, more of a garnish. The chips and salsa were good. And for three small meals, it was over $50. So not worth it.
    The waitresses were all very polite and helpful, the place was clean.

    I'm done paying for crappy meals and crappy service at this place. I've eaten here for 10 years 6-7 times per year during hunting season and they've really let their quality of food and service slip. Specifically the carne guisada tastes like Dinty Moore stew, their pie is straight out of a Cisco freezer box and the chips and salsa are greasy and tasteless.

    Service was equally bad. Asked for several things that never arrived or arrived too late. Food comes out one or two plates at a time, not all together.

    Just a poor establishment at this point. Go across the street to Jalisco or into town to El Jardin.

    Worst BBQ ever. The sausage tastes like potted meat. The chicken was old and covered in sauce.. Beans had no flavor .. The best thing there was the sweet tea!

    What a burger is down the street. Go there

    Definitely recommend it to all.
    It doesn't look like much on the outside. But it has great plates and the staff is very courteous and attentive.
