First place I've tried as a result of a Yahoo review. What a find! I've been driving by it for years and not noticed it. I had an amazing bowl of Mexican chicen soup, hot tortillas, chips and salsa for under $7. Portions are generous and under-priced.

Great local spot!! Food and prices are fantastic. The restaurant has been a local favorite for over thirty years. They are known for the soups and all the classics. I would recommend to everyone.

This place used to be great.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/12/06
It has declined in quality over the years. I used to go there always, when friends came in, for Mexican food. Now, I do not. It is not good.
This is the place. Great deals. Full bar. Friendly service. Standing the test of time, I have been going for 25 years. The soups are unreal, try the chicken soup, it will cure your ills. Authentic food, drink and service. A Leucadia landmark. A wide selection and very consistent and delicious. It is a great restaurant, I recommend it often, as I do now. I am Zac. out
