We stopped here while riding motorcycles in the area and were pleasantly surprised by this little "hole in the wall" bar/restaurant. The service was super friendly, and tacos were great! They pack the tacos with meat while other Mexican restaurants will often skimp on the meat. They take cash only (but there is an ATM), and are open 5pm to midnight.

Friendly, great food, cheap drink good place to spend a Friday night
