Everything is great but I make a meal out of the app Mitziâs special. So good! I prefer the veggie version but Iâm sure the meat options are great too. Ranchero sauce is delish.

Their enchiladas with sour cream sauce are great. The service is always good. Seating is hit or miss - too many tables and chairs packed in and you feel cramped

Great menu! Something for everyone here. My favorites are the fried mushrooms and the wings, but haven't ever had anything I didn't love. Service is fast and great!

Looking for tacos close by one of our stops In Amarillo. Joe Taco came up as the closest place. Very pleasant surprise. My grilled chicken truck tacos were very tasty. Hubby had ancho chicken wings. He said they were fried just right...but the ancho sauce was so good I abandoned the salsa and ate it on their very tender chips. I can see a return visit.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday because it came highly recommended. We figured it couldn't be too busy during the week for lunch...... Boy were we wrong! This place was packed but we got a table fairly quickly. The food was amazing and they had great prices. Not a fancy restaurant, diner style but excellent food, quick service, large portions, and very friendly service. A+

This is a must see stop in Amarillo. It's a great, fun experience. Between our waitress, Callie, and myself, we got my husband to eat some "mountain oysters." Something he swore he would never do. He was surprised that they weren't all that bad. The produce is super fresh. Biggest disappointment were our steaks. They were cut very thin and way over salted. Also not the tenderest steaks I've eaten. You will definitely need a steak knife. My service dog, Norton, thoroughly enjoyed the pieces he was given. Other than the steaks, it was a great experience!

Go for Happy Hour, the Margs are giant... and very tasty! Their salsa trio with chips is the bomb. Especially enjoyed the Roasted Veggie Salsa. Steak Fajita Salad, Steak Chimichanga, Carnitas Street Tacos & Brisket Street Tacos was our order and it was all really good. The place was packed, so they're doing it right in the kitchen.

Great stop on our way home from Colorado. A little off the highway but worth a 10 min detour. Fajitas for 1 are enough for two. Stuffed poblano and tortilla soup also spot on. Fast friendly service. We would go back.

Found this restaurant through Trip Advisor and it lives up to its high rating. The food was excellent and plentiful and the servers were great. Huge place and packed during dinner. Parking was full but big enough to find a spot in the back. I'll be back for sure.
