Excellent food, I had a burrito with a taco and rice, pretty good. Husband had the Enchilada and rice, Freshly made, IPA's good and cold. Very friendly staff who could actually understand English. We'll be back.

This may be the best Mexican food I've had. Even the refried beans were different. They had more flavor than most. Got the beef tip quesadilla. So tender no need to chew. Wish they were near where we live. We were just passing through.

One of our favorite quick bites in Galax! The margaritas are always on point- my personal fave is the frozen rainbow margarita. It's a smaller restaurant than the Rio in Hillsville but it's still a nice spot.
