Customer Reviews

"Walking into this place reminds me a little of a restaurant my mom used to go to in Progresso Mexico. They have a nice section of did that is reasonably priced. They have lunch specials also and they don't skimp on food. I ordered the Del Rio special with Shrimp and chicken over rice. There was more then I could eat so I took half gone for another meal... All for around $10! And their margaritas are reasonably priced and tasty. If you're in Independence and looking for a bite... Or if you're looking for a little drive for some good food, add this place to your list."
