Everything that I've ever ordered at this place was phenomenal. This place is a diamond in the ruff. Nothing big and fancy like other restaurants in Snyder but the food is delicious. The portions are fabulous. The atmosphere & service is friendly, warm and inviting. Everything is cooked fresh, been family owned for over 20yrs...not the easiest to find but it's 1 of Snyders secret gems. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could. This the absolute BEST restaurant food in Snyer, from burgers to burritos
The absolute best Mexican food I’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, it felt like entering a loving home rather than a restaurant. We didn't feel like guests; we felt like family. The owner, Luis, is incredible—he sat and talked with us and truly made it feel like a home away from home. We loved him and the entire experience. Highly recommend!
The servings were huge. The owner/chef was very nice. This is a Texas Burger with no onions. It had jalapeños diced inside of the burger meat. It was so good! My wife had carne asada that is easily at least 2 meals. Get past the exterior and go in it's definitely worth it.
If you’re looking for a ppace to eat near Snyder, I highly recommend this restaurant on the edge of town. The owner is a fantastic chef! Everything is made from scratch, so plan to stay and relax a while. If it’s not too busy, the chef has great stories to tell, as well.
We stopped on our way back from Palo Duro Canyon State park. Burrito feeds two to three people delicious. Burger also enough for two people. You will need a nap.
We stopped here going to Colorado and we are so thankful we did. Don’t judge on the exterior of the building! Louis is the owner and chef and makes to order your food with years of experience and love and pride. Unbelievable portions and absolutely delicious. Louis is friendly, kind and cares that you are happy with your meal. Don’t pass this up.
Don't just from the outside. Old 50s motel and cafe. Best food I've ever had anywhere. Portion sizes are ridiculously huge. He will make you anything you want if he has the ingredients, it doesn't have to be on the menu. True cooking from scratch.
AMAZING!!! definitely recommend. We were passing through and saw the great reviews so we gave this place a try and will definitely be back. Don’t judge the exterior, as this place was amazing. The owner , who is also the chef came out and took our order and made our experience personal and caring. He made FANTASTIC FOOD. The portions are huge and the food just tasted great. MUST TRY
I had an excellent meal here recently. The food was delicious and served in generous portions. I especially enjoyed the fresh, perfectly ripe avocado slices on my plate. Everything arrived at our table hot and fresh. It is the perfect spot for a satisfying lunch or dinner. I will definitely be coming back soon.
We came today May 8th and the food was fantastic. Very flavorful, very happy to see it was of great quality and quantity. The owner (I think) was the one who served us menus and told us we could do what ever we wished. Which was a welcome surprise. I got the Carne Asada, and my parents got a build your own salad, Then Chicken Fajitas, which seems to be the favorite here from reviews. I can’t believe how much carne I got, it was massive and delicious, the spices were spot on, the corn tortillas were amazing, and the rice was well mixed with corn peas and onion which I enjoyed. Beans were super filling as well. If you are tempted to come here don’t hold back, do yourself a favor and eat here. You will not regret it! The atmosphere was so good too! Thank you for having us!
