Probably the best chicharrón Gordita I've ever had. The refried beans were made fresh, not from a can, and so were the arepas and tortillas We will 100% be back!

Barbacoa tacos are some of the best I've had in Texas. Pastor and quesabirria tacos were great as well.

Amazing service ! Amazing food! The staff was so friendly & informative on what we were ordering. We came in on a Tuesday morning & they weren't that busy. The restaurant is in a shopping center & has so much space inside. The food came out so fast & they were hands down some of the best chillaquiles . The beans were so tasty also! We will definitely be back!! P.s. the red sauce is super spicy but soooo good

Went here on a limb, looking for some Menudo as we happened to be in the area...and I would say if you are looking for some great Mexican flavor here you will find it, this is not the Tex Me version of want to be Mexican food....The menudo has a great rich flavor and is very clean, and you can customize it to your choice, we had some Mexican style tacos that came with grilled onions and potatoes , they were of great flavor and the meat was tender. The two ladies that tend to you are super kind and deliver great service! We had an orchata and Jamaica and both were home made. Some may say This may be a hole in the wall but they probably can sit about 100 people. We even ordered some extra food to go and have for tomorrow. I would say that eating here and the flavor reminded me of eating in Mexico . We shared the restaurant with several real Mexicans and all seemed very pleased.
