This is the best restaurant I have ever been to in the state of Nebraska. I have eaten a lot of Mexican food in my time but hardly anything comes as close to being as high quality and delicious as this. The tortillas are amazing and the food is actually spicy!

Amazing food and authentic! Service was just as good from the minute I walked in the door. Food is cooked fresh as you can watch them make your dish an with in 10 minutes it’s being brought to you. So much flavor! Definitely recommend if you’re passing through like myself! Was in town for 3 days an had dinner all 3 nights there.

May be the best Mexican in Crete. Definitely the best Mexican food that’s open late. Absolutely no complaints about this place and specifically love their Nebraska burrito

Ate here on the way through town. It was really really good. I got a Carne Asada Chimichanga Burrito. It came with rice and beans and was SO dang good, and yhe Burrito was HUGE. My kids had Chicken Strips with fries and a Chicken and cheese Quesadilla. If you're ever in town stop here for a quick lunch its worth it!

I heard mixed reviews but was pleasantly surprised. The food was really good. There wasn’t a great selection but it had a little of everything. The steak in the smothered burrito was cooked nicely and had a traditional flavor. I thanked the owner for the food because it was good, made to order and was fresh. Crete doesn’t have a ton to offer but I recommend this place.
