All the food tasted great and came out quick (we went around 2 pm and not many other customers). No complaints about the service either. Within walking distance of shops and museums. Try the Mothman burrito!

Someone tell me why a Mexican restaurant in rural West Virginia is 10x BETTER than what I've found in LA since I moved from Texas???? I need tourists to know that this place actually has good food outside of the mothman stuff. I also came for the novelty burrito and ultimately decided against it because the rest of the menu looked amazing. The Arrozo con Texana (con cebollas y pimientos) was SO GOOD! 😭❤️ I DID have the Mothman chimichanga and it was actually delicious! Normally novelty stuff only looks cute and tastes pretty meh, but this was actually good. A dessert chimichanga? Brilliant. 10/10

The food was amazing, the service was great but their profit margins have to be huge. $15 for 2 shrimp fajita chimichangas and they were as small as a taco from taco bell when you order it without lettuce. At the most, I had 3 pieces of shrimp in each one and a few veggies. I got maybe half a tablespoon of sour cream and my food was mostly tortilla. I even ordered cheese rice and for $5 they barely put any cheese dip on it. I’ll definitely go back, I just know what not to order now. Btw, their cheese dip is really good. Order the stuff they have pictures of and you get it exactly like the picture.
