Looks are VERY deceiving. This is the only Mexican restaurant I've been in where I can see the food, hear my dinner companions and recommend to friends as GREAT food. Someone has resurrected an old Hardee's and kept the open lighted feeling an inserted great chips and salsa; and it's a little spicy...just right. Haven't had anything here I didn't like. Great family atmosphere.

Drinks & Nightlife
Every Saturday night you will find the musicians and dancers out in full tilt at the Hollonville Opry House. Good, clean fun with some of the most wonderful people around. Here you might see the guy that waved from the tractor or the young buck working his way to his first break, but always great music. Started with a handful of folks back in 1991 in somebody's old seed barn, this "git together" has grown into the concert hall known as the opry house and still offers great country, bluegrass and gospel music every week. I may be biased about this place, some of these folks are kin. Come on down and see what's happening every Saturday night & bring a little lunch change for snacks.

Sightseeing
Big Foot Sighting!!! Back in 1997, not so very long ago, there was a recorded sighting of Big Foot in the area. This famous cast that has been a part of the Sasquatch museum was found on nearby Elkins Creek. This cast spans 17 1/2 " long and is 8" wide near the well defined toe print. Does this make you wonder?
