Great puffy taco plate. I had the chicken puffy taco lunch special, and they were delicious. Rive and beans were good. They go tmw in and out in less than 30 minutes. The ladies make you feel so welcoming.

You know I've always passed by here for years now and have never stopped. Why not, right? Well, I finally decided to and was not disappointed, let me tell you. I did stop in early in the morning, so the lunch crowd hadn't hit yet. Looks to be a comfortable place to enjoy some food food. The woman at the register was super welcoming and very friendly while she took my taco order. The food came out at just the right temperature, served quickly so I can get back on my way. I look forward to stopping in again to definitely try more off of their menu.

This place is right next to the Amazon site, the team and I loved to eat here! The food is tasty, clean, and has a homestyle feel to it. I recommend the puffy tacos, the Carne Guisada (know I'm spelling that wrong, lol), and the fish is danger as well. Ask for the green salsa to go with the chips! The owner is the sweetest lady and takes real pride in her food and craft. Thanks for everything!!! Should have took more pics....

This place is a gem. Everything you want in a neighborhood Mexican restaurant. First of all, the staff is phenomenal. I asked our waitress what she recommended and we were impressed with the variety of options. I had the Huevos Rancheros which were the best I have ever had. The Eggs were cooked to perfection and the Ranchero sauce was to die for. I have to give a shout out to our waitress. She was super friendly and polite. I'm sorry I didn't get her name, but I will next time because I will definitely go back for more of that delicious food.

Awesome enchiladas! Closest thing to the Rio Grande Valley food. A must try here and you will not be disappointed. Salsa is also great!

This is a great place to eat whether it is breakfast or lunch. They serve great food. The burgers are great good tasting and filling. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays they make excellent tamales they are awesome pork, chicken made to order. I recommend this little hole in the wall restaurant to everybody During lent they have great fish platers and if you are hispanic and like capirotada it is great tasting here. I encourage all to try it out located on 1516 and 1346 awesome place with excellent service.
