    My family and I stopped there on or way back from Toronto Canada to Sherman Tx. for some Mexican food and we order a torta al pastor and it was good. the egg and potatoes burritos were ok. Potatoes were brown but didn’t taste bad.

    The food was amazing but it was really expensive. We usually order a double fajita, 2 sides of rice, large cheese dip, and 3 drinks and at most places its usually $35-40. Ordered the same here and it was $60 the was amazing though! Just a little pricey for us.

    Let us first start by thanking the waitress that waited on us (she was fantastic). We have been at restaurants in Rhode Island to San Francisco, Key West to Chicago and this little restaurant beats them all. The food was amazing from the chip and dip to the mix, meat, ranchero special. We live an hour or so away but will definitely be back! Thanks for making a long day, hard trip turn into a great experience!

    Tonight they forgot our chips and salsa on a take out order. I was super disappointed because it is so good. That is literally the only complaint I have ever had about this place. The food is always hot, fresh simply amazing. The service and staff are as amazing as the food.

    My husband and I had eaten here a few times years ago, but those experiences weren't great. After getting food to-go there today, it definitely seems to have improved! The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the restaurant was clean, and our order was ready within minutes. I ordered two crispy beef tacos, a large salsa, and plenty of extra chips. My husband got their largest burrito, The California. The man who took our order was very patient and accommodating when I had questions about their menu. I made sure to check our food before pulling away, and I will say that my tacos were made incorrectly. However, it was just a miscommunication, and they were extremely quick to fix it. My husband said his burrito was one of the best he's had in a while. My tacos were very tasty, and the salsa is also very good. We are very happy with our experience this time, we're excited to have found another restaurant that we like in Des Arc.
