Looking for someplace for lunch and adult beverage. First choice closed so ended up here. Waiter brought me the wrong beer. The chips were really dark and tasted kinda burnt. As if they had been heated multiple times. Ordered the enchiladas. They all were smother in the same cheese sauce and lettuce on top.

The Chile Colorado was great. The red sauce was good and spicy. The beef fajita was very good. Meat was tender.

My husband and I went there for the first time on Palm Sunday. We both thought it had a nice atmosphere and think we’ll probably try it again, however, we’ll choose different plates. I really liked their hot sauce, my husband thought it was too mild, however, I like a milder hot sauce now. He ordered the Cheese 🧀 Enchiladas with Chili Con Carne and a tamale 🫔. He liked the tamale okay giving it a three, however, he did not care for the sauce on the cheese enchiladas. He said his was not chili con carne, but a red sauce with meat in it in which he did not enjoy. I ordered the Spinach Enchiladas, but they brought me the wrong plate originally, however, the waiter was very nice and took it back. He then brought me the Spinach Enchiladas, but I think I would have enjoyed the wrong plate they brought me more. It did taste like fresh, plain cooked spinach with no spices or added touches and the sour cream sauce tasted very generic. I did enjoy the beans 🫘 some, but wasn’t crazy about the rice. They did have a large menu to choose from and I am wonder if one of their specialty plates would taste better. Also, we were excited to hear they had homemade flour tortillas, but both thought they tasted very average. Also, they weren’t really that warm.

I do think at some point we’ll give it another try and hope to both find something there we really like.

Update: After my first review, I went there weekly from Paris, and well, after the last time I went, I have not been back. Don't go on a Sunday afternoon when the manager or owner ( whomever is usually at the register isn't there), it becomes a club, and you can't get waited on.

The food was great, very authentic, and so was the service! Will be going back regularly, and we don't even live in Hugo.

Hands down amazing food, service & margarita. Super affordable too. Our waiter Mauritzo was absolutely fabulous. Sundays are really busy due to the church crowd but it's worth the wait. Bonus, the tortillas are homemade. They can pump some serious food out of that kitchen.

I'm going to be honest The salsa really sucks most of the food sucks but if you want a good place to go and get a drink this is it they make some good drinks That's the only good thing I can really say about this place It started out pretty good I feel like they're not even trying anymore
