Ordered and pick up tamales for party. They were very good. Only drawback is it is far away and there are no more tamales trucks closer.
After a long drive to get to TX, this was our first meal. The swirl margarita was excellent and just what I needed after the long commute. Very good chips and salsa. Service was also good. Food was just average. We're used to pretty good authentic Mexican ... this didn't even come close. But, for a local hang-out, its worth...

Stopped here a few weeks ago with some family.
