a PG Gem

Posted by loocie | May 13, 2009 | Mark as Inappropriate

This place is a gem. I first went there about 20 years ago and it is still great, authentic Mexican food. Try the shredded beef in your taco or chimichanga. It is flavorful without being too hot. Great customer service too.

Just like mother used to make....

Posted by jncole1 | Dec 28, 2008 | Mark as Inappropriate

The enchiladas here and the rest of the menu remind me of my mother's cooking -- in San Antonio, Tx, when I was in first grade. Actually, they remind me of the nuns' cooking in school and of the food in the restaurants where my folks took me. Great food, great place, since at least 1064, when I started going. Same menu, even.

What is a podcast? How do I listen?

A podcast is an audio file that can be downloaded to your computer. The word "podcast" is derived from Apple Inc's portable music player, the iPod. Podcasts are usually downloaded through a program like iTunes onto an iPod using RSS feeds, but they can also be directly downloaded on to a computer or listened to in streaming format. It's free to download or listen to our podcasts.
