“ Friends and I stopped here during our AT hike for lunch and while we waited for the bus. We enjoyed the food we ordered and the friendly service from our waitress Kelly. She wrote our group the sweetest note about how she admired our courage and strength to hike so many miles. It was truly unexpected and appreciated. Food was good. I ordered a burrito that had queso over it. I was bummed they didn’t have horchata. Would definitely stop here again when hiking the AT. ”

“ We were hungry and there wasn’t much around the area that was open at the time. We looked up Mexican and their Google reviews were good. We decided to give it a try. We were shocked to find out it was inside a gas station though. There were 12 of us and we all decided let’s give it a try. We were really surprised how good the food was. Everyone was happy with the flavor and quantity of it We would definitely come back again when in the area! ”
