Q & A (from June interview with owner Ben Porter)
What are your prices?
“Our prices range from $2.99 a la carte tacos to $14.99, which is our most expensive dish,” Porter said. “You’re eating very well for under $12 without a doubt. It’s hard to find anything to spend over $20 per person. We keep our prices affordable.”
What are your specials?
“We have a lunch menu and daily specials every day, which you can check our Facebook to see,” Porter said. “We also have Tamale Sundays! But get there early. We make 300 a day. When they run out, they run out!" Click here to see their Facebook page.
