  I went there for lunch on Christmas Eve. I was, unsurprisingly, their only customer.
  
  The service was slow to bring out chips or take my drink order. I gave her the drink order and the food order (taco and 2 tamales.) I love tamales and have unsuccessfully searched the area for good tamales.
  After a while the waitress brought out my food, and asked me if everything was OK. I mentioned my drink. She had forgotten.
  Since everything was made to order, I didn't mind the wait, I would have liked to have my drink while waiting.
  The taco was the size of a Taco Bell taco. The shell seemed like it was out of a box. It was OK
  The tamales were large, but didn't look like they had been steamed in corn husks. (Perhaps, that is a regional technique.)
  The filling was chicken (I was not given a choice) It was a bit dry, but there was a sauce I could use. I've had tamales in San Antonio and even in the Dallas airport that were better.
  
  The drink cost $2.50 and the server didn't check if I needed a refill. I really don't understand why the service was not more attentive since there was no one else in the dining room.
  
  It wasn't a horrible meal, but I wouldn't recommend the restaurant for lunch.

  Food was decent. Nothing super impressive, but the prices were cheap so I didn't mind too much. However, the service was the slowest I've ever had. I went on a Tuesday night at 7:30, and only two other tables were there, but the waitress still managed to take forever with our drink order and completely forget our order of guacamole. When we were finished, they didn't tell us to check out at the front, so we were sitting there for ten minutes waiting for the check before we lost patience and went up to the counter to pay.
  
  The atmosphere was very dark and old looking, which isn't something I generally complain about, but it just compounded my discomfort. My paper placemat even had dried sauce on it, showing that they didn't care to clean the table.
  
  Two stars only because we got a good amount of food for the price, but I won't be coming back.
