This place is locally legendary!! Local business for 40 years. Food is homemade & amazing!! My favorite (if I have to pick one) Cindy Nachos

Great, fast service. The Burrito was good, and the Cindy nachos were great and unlike anything I’ve had before. They have good salsas also

Food here is always great haven't had a bad experience. Hours of operation is a hit or miss for me such odd hours they are open. Sometimes I get sad when Grace's is closed and I think about them burritos and nachos.

AMAZING service. Excellent food. Generous portions. They go the extra mile to serve their customers. Our server threw in some Cindy Nachos to our to-go order just so we could try them. So kind. And some of the best nachos I’ve ever tasted. I will definitely be coming again next time I’m in the area! Can’t recommend them enough.

I had only HEARD about the legendary Grace’s, and finally had a chance to eat here. Wow...just, wow. If you haven’t already, do yourself a favor, and eat here. And make sure to get a hard shell anything, along with their 5-pepper salsa! -chef’s kiss- *cash/check only*

Words can't describe how good shedded beef burito covered in gravy was. Unreal definitely a must go!!! SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!!!

It’s a small unique place with their own Tex-Mex style menu. Always fresh, always awesome, and always friendly. Never had a bad meal here. (Is also the perfect cure for a hangover.) Highly recommend!

Amazing food, great fast service, and a good homey feel!! Highly recommend
