That fajitas are the best in town. But very expensive. Menu has changed a lot over the years. Miss the great enchilada choices they used to have. Also miss the bogo coupon in the entertainment book.

This place was off the chain amazing. The tortilla soup cup is larger than most bowls at other restaurants. The brisket tacos were honestly among the best tacos I've had anywhere. Highly recommend.

this has the same decor as the original location on Greenville in old town. cozy, 70's and perfecto! hurry and visit a classic before they remodel. and ask for the "Sundance fajitas" - not on menu.

The 🌯 was pretty good. I had the Texas chili on it but you can have sour cream sauce on it to. My buddy had the fish tacos. He had a ton of cooked veggies with it. He said the fish was bland.

Willie eats here — ‘nuff said. FYI they really and truly invented the frozen margarita. Their original machine is in the Smithsonian.

Tacos AL carbon are incredible. Spicy enough but when you add the Pico and guacamole. Wow

This place serves amazing Tex-Mex,they also invented the frozen margarita machine back in 1971. They still serve em up cold today, just not out of the original machine. That one is in the Smithsonian.

It was pretty good. Had healthy chicken breast & veggies. A bit too pricy for the meal but if I am over there & hungry, I'd go back.

Start w/ the Texas Torpedoes, hands down, best stuffed jalapenos ever. You can choose chicken or cheese, go with the cheese, honestly, best thing ever. Freals!! Read more

No offense to anyone, but if you're a person of Latin descent, this place is not for you. The margaritas are overpriced. Overall, the waiter was awesome. The food wasn't that great. I won't come back.
