One of the best Mexican restaurant in ElPaso Texas, all dishes are delicious and priced reasonably. Their menudo is one of the best in town and any other plate you order. There staff is very nice and it's a local family owned and one of them is always there. Always packed and the wait is worth it.

My wife and I had breakfast at the Buckner location. We waited about ten minutes for a table. We both ordered the Huevos Rancheros. They serve theirs with your choice of a bacon or sausage. She asked for the bacon and really liked it. I ordered mine with sausage and it was very good. Service was excellent and food was out quickly. Their salsa is great. Meal was really tasty. Four stars as one of my over easy eggs was served broken and over hard. My wife's were perfect. Nice atmosphere.

I like this place for many reasons. I remember this restaurant business during its humble beginnings as a small family run home-cooked Mexican food place off of Giles & Carolina streets when I was a child in the early 70's. After moving back to El Paso in 2014, I saw 2 well established locations and a regular daily patronage of customs including my parents who ate there 3-4 times weekly. When I started taking my parents on a more regular basis, it struck me that the environment was a true meeting place of our community- local employees whether white or blue collar for lunch, many retired couples (like my parents), young, old, diverse and everyone in-between. It made me feel home again and reacquainted with my roots and upbringing. The food was unique to the city, and the service team seemed happy and well connected to their customers. I like trying new and innovative menus as El Paso adds to their growing number of eateries, but always having a place to go for true comfort food that represents a heritage and history of El Paso makes me glad to be home after a long career away.... The food is great!!!

The lunch special- what can be better than a nice lunch at a great price? A gal pound took me here for lunch because I was going to have dental surgery the following day and she laughingly said well you don't know when you're gonna eat something really good for a while so let's go for it today. We are laughing about it today because it was so prophetic! We had a great lunch of Chicken Moley that was wonderfully prepared- I can still taste it.

We tried this for the first time after a recommendation. Our lunch was delicious! This was a kid friendly restaurant but great atmosphere. We'll be back for sure!
