Very tasty burritos and affordable. Service was exceptional and the sauce was amazing.

I am only going to review with new owner. It was good before but there's new elements. Laura has really made it a special place. Updated menu and a very nice vibe. She takes care to make sure everything that goes out is correct. She has friendly staff who are sweet but professional. Presently they open on the evening at the end of the week. We have not had a bad meal. I like the meat loaf, hubby likes the catfish. We sometimes try other things but those are our favorites. Old Midlanders will recognize "Back in the Day" in Midland. I gave t stars because service is as important as food! They hit on all marks!
Food is wonderful. Service is great even when they are short staffed. And love the atmosphere and decor. Eat there every chance we get.
