    I've seen this place and passed by 100 times over if not 1000. Finally stopped in and tried it out. Military City USA!! What a great restaurant. Memorabilia adorns this place and pays tribute to all the Warriors that paved the way for us. The food portions are great, freshly cooked to order. I order corn tortillas and these corn tortillas came out hot, fresh, and soft. They didn't get hard or cold as I ate my meal. Ms. Alejandra attended to me and she was super amicable and friendly. The owner was working the front register and also is most accommodating. I chose the chilaquiles verdes at her suggestion and they didn't disappoint. The coffee was hot and strong. Parking is a bear if you come at peak hours like I did. This place warrants a return visit, especially for the daily breakfast and lunch Specials that are reasonably priced. Come out and give it a try.

    Loved this little local restaurant! Great food and service. I had the chicken enchilada plate, and my husband had a burrito. Salsa had flavor with the perfect amount of heat. Pro military decor with lots of photos of those who served. Would definately return.

    Working the rodeo and stopped by for lunch. I had the divorced eggs with refried beans and potatoes. It was really good and fresh. Ordered corn tortillas and they are homemade and tasty. They are open Monday thru Saturday, 0600 to 1500. Will stop by for lunch again.

    Just a little piece of history positioned just outside of Fort Sam. Great food here. Portions are quite generous. I can't quite finish the omelette plate. Great atmosphere. Military city proud thru-and-thru. Small but quaint. Very friendly staff. Just posted (24 May) picture of the pork chop lunch special. New photo of the pork chop plate. the pork chops are HUGE!!
