⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Nora Rodriguez
The best enchiladas in Odessa 😋 I love their authentic red sauce, great tasting rice and beans, and their burritos are to die for especially their chile verde burritos 🌯!! They are a good size, not huge or small

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Ellie
Ive been wanting to try the tacos 🌮 for quite some time now. I knew when I went that they were American Tacos with the hard taco shell instead of mexican tacos so bo disappointment. The tacos were filled with ground beef with the orangey taco seasoning. They were served w a side of Spanish Rice and refried beans. It was good. I was told I should have tried the burritos instead.
