Don't judge a book by its cover. Great Mexican food. Definitely a bit of a drive but it's so worth it. The dine-in area is very small, they do have a drive thru for to-go orders. No public restrooms. Not much for parking, others parked across the st. Follow on FB for specials & events. Prices were awesome for the quality of food. Fresh, authentic and delicious. The owner is the Chef & his dishes are all made from scratch. I forgot to take pictures of the food I scarfed it down so fast (beef enchiladas). My man had the cheeseburger....it was tasty & big (1/2lb patty) with homemade crispy fries.

I have been wanting to try this food for a while now since I saw them on FB. My husband, I and my son finally went today and ordered the club sandwich twice and the chicken strips. It was so delicious! I loved having a can soda as well (soda won’t go flat) and it’s cold. Next time for sure I am ordering the cheeseburger meal. The staff were so nice and welcoming. The amount of food you get for the price is amazing. We will definitely be returning customers!

We picked up our food in the drive thru window. We ordered 2 enchilada meals with beans and rice. It was delicious. The cost was $10/meal. They were raising money to help a family in need that lost a love you.

If it's Thursday, it must be the chicken fried steak special at Cuevas Drive In ! Lol. Was there a little after 11am and they were not busy. Fast service and the food came out quickly. CFS and cream gravy with mashed potatoes, green beans, and toast. Also comes with a canned soft drink. Everything was hot and fresh and seemed to be made from scratch. One of the best CFS in town and at only $10 on Thursday you can't beat the value.

Love the food, staff, and service! A friend of mine and l ordered the chicken strip special and MY. GOODNESS. Mouth watering chicken strips, gravy, and fries (both waffle and regular fries) were amazing! Highly recommend. The staff is beyond sweet too! You can't beat a $10 special with a drink!

Words can't describe how good this food was. Pictures can't do it justice. It was hot, fresh and made to order. We got the beef enchiladas, which was a Tuesday special and the asada fries. They come with queso but I got it taken off which was a mistake on my part. they are testing these out to see if they should add them to the menu. My vote would be yes! Come support a small business.

The drive is worth it. Believe me! Follow them on FB - they post the daily specials there. Call ahead orders are welcome & you'll still get the great service whether you dine in or take out! I can't even recommend anything in particular bc all the food is amazing. I've tried the following and ate every bite: - chicken fried chicken - enchiladas - carne guisada - chicken strip dinner

Loved this place. Had a delivery around the corner, looked for a place to grab a bite found this place. The Staff was very friendly and the price for the special was ridiculous.... you are not going to find another deal this good. If you are reading reviews to see if you should try it.... take my word stop by and try it.
