  The last thing I expected when we walked into this unassuming little diner in a strip mall parking lot was really good Mexican food! That is exactly what we got! We walked over after getting a solid recommendation from the staff of a store we were shopping at in the strip mall.  They said they had great burgers, but never mentioned Mexican.
  
  My first impression was not great. The entrance was uneven and a little precarious for a wheelchair user. They were also having new flooring put in, so that eliminated about half the seats in the restaurant. The menu is huge. The first thing I noticed were the specialty Burgers. There must've been 20 of them, all with unique toppings. I turned the page one more time and saw a bunch of Mexican Entrees. Everything from standard Tacos and Burritos to more interesting Taquitos, Flautas and Tamales.
  
  I ordered the Pork Tamales. They were fantastic! The meat was tender and spicy with the perfect amount of heat. Even the Masa, which can be bland, was perfectly seasoned. Diane's Flautas were crispy and filled with more flavorful meat. This time it was Beef. They were covered with a mound of Lettuce, Tomatoes an Sour Cream.
  
  Both entrees came with Soup, Rice and Beans. Diane had the Split Pea. She loved it and could have eaten an entire bowl. I had The Santa Fe, which was similar to Chili. It was quite good, with loads of meat and beans. The Rice and Beans were fantastic!
  
  The menu listed a bunch of pies that we were too full to try, but on the next stop we will be sure to leave room.
