Festive music, great service and the best authentic Mexican food around.
This is one of our favorite places in town. All of the people who work here are so kind. We try to go once a week. Everything we've had here is delicious, the tacos, taco salad, fajitas, and the BEST rice and beans. We absolutely love this place.

We moved to Kansas City from Denver 6 years ago and have really struggled to find Mexican food that compares, until now. We happened to stop in Carthage on our way to Arkansas for a retreat, and it was absolutely worth the detour. This place was a standout. The habanero salsa and the beans were chef's kiss, easily some of the best we've had.

I just wanted to say that my husband and I visited this place a little while ago and the food was delicious. I loved the suadero tacos; it was something new for me. The customer service was very good; the young lady was very friendly. I just want to say that I recommend this place 100%.
