😠 If I could give a negative five stars. I would. I ordered my food online and was very disappointed. I understand everyone’s taste buds are different but it couldn’t possibly differ when it comes to this place. Red flags was there when I pulled in the parking lot. No cars. So I entered cautiously, ho... People often mention tacos, good, beef, time,

    If I could give a negative five stars. I would. I ordered my food online and was very disappointed. I understand everyone’s taste buds are different but it couldn’t possibly differ when it comes to this place. Red flags was there when I pulled in the parking lot. No cars. So I entered cautiously, hoping my judgment was wrong. I looked to my left and saw only 1 family dining. Now, I want to ask for a refund of my $41 but again, didn’t want to judge the place based on what I was seeing. I ordered 2 beef enchilada plates and tried the Birria tacos for the first time. The enchiladas was gross. They were bland and had a weird smell to them. I thought the beef was grounded but instead large chunks. Enchiladas are based on cheese and there was little to none. The rice was wasn’t seasoned and had a smell also. The beans were ok but I definitely had better. The Birria tacos was ok. I didn’t quite know how to rate them, since it was my first time trying them. I must say, I did enjoy the Coke. Save your time and money by avoiding this place. Please!!!!!!

    Great food. Micheladas are not that good but the food worth the visit. Good prices too.

    Incredible. Very impressed. Great value, service, and food. The food was over the top like you would see in a Michelin star restaurant. The plating is neat and the food is interesting. The salad was plain and simple but wonderful. My tacos dorados almost tasted like a dessert. Will definitely come back.

    No 'ta bueno, 'ta BUENÍSIMO. I decided to try birría tacos for the first time. I also ordered guacamole. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best guacamole I've ever tried. Then the 3 massive birría tacos arrived and I was surprised that in addition to the consume, there was pico, radish slices, pickled red cabbage, lime slices, red and green salsa. The doubled up corn tortillas were somehow still crispy and held together even though the consume had been drenched. The very tender beef was in small enough pieces that they didn't cause lumps, but large enough that they didn't spew out of the taco when biting into it or dipping. There was a perfect amount of stringy melted white cheese to keep it glued together but definitely not enough to overpower the flavor. Most wonderfully surprising was the hint of sweetness that I got. At first I thought it was because the picked cabbage or the lime that I added, but on the last one (after taking a breather and a corona break) I didn't doctor it up and still got the sweet note. I think it's the corn tortillas, which had a unique orange tint. The waitress told me that birría style comes from Mexico City and originally uses goat meat, but they prepare it with beef. I'm so happy I tried them and though the restaurant is small in size, it's big on flavor and portion size. While dining on a late Friday evening, they were busy with take out orders and pick up orders and the dining room and patio had multiple guests. Bonus, they had the Astros game on 3 large TVs visible from anywhere inside. I noticed some pick up guests asking about their agua fresca selection and the manager gave them small cups to taste the flavors to see what they liked. I ordered churros to take home and they put the ice cream on the side so I could enjoy it later since I am currently much too full. The tacos were about $14, but we're huge (trust me, no rice or beans necessary). The guacamole was over $10 as well but it was easily enough to serve as an appetizer for 3-4 people. I had to try the churros because they're filled with cajeta (like a Carmel dulce de leche), served with strawberry ice cream, fresh strawberry slices, chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

    The food here was amazing. My new favorite go to restaurant for my breakfast tacos and birria tacos. Highly recommended. I haven’t tried the other dishes but I will on my next visit. The food was well cooked. Not underdone or over cooked. The food hit just right. I didn’t eat in but the open space helps see the cooks make the magic happen. Always great to see how my food is being made.

    I can’t believe that this place is in walking distance and I didn’t know how good they are 😂. Nom nom! I know where I will go when I don’t feel like cooking dinner from now on. Go get yourself some.

    The tiny thimble of salsa is all you get on a delivery order of three entrées. It's not even enough for one person. And there's no option to get more, it's not on the menu. I'm curious to know if they are as stingy when dining in.

    Best authentic Mexican food around hands down. We’ve been everywhere around the area, nothing beats the fresh hand made tortillas (both corn and flour) and the amazing fresh ingredients. We’ve been going for about a year now and never have we ordered something that wasn’t up to par. They’re entire menu is excellent!

    Food was awful the Barbacoa was dry and greasy and the birra tacos had no taste or flavor including the dip lwarm tasteless broth. Only good thing was guacamole 🥑 but no pita chips just the thin chips they give you for your salsa …Would never recommend or return. Very disappointed plus so overpriced per quality and quantity of food .

    Really great find, the food was great and so was the service.

  • 1/5 Daniel F. 10 months ago on Google
    Charged me $25 for an order of beef fajitas that even doordash charges $19. Added sour cream and cheese for additional 2.95 and doordash it’s 1.99. Come here all the time, never again. Watch your check.

    I recently went here when the storm knocked out the power for miles one night and most restaurants in the area were without power or were too packed to even get in to make an order. We got chicken and beef fajitas and enchiladas verde for the family and everything was fantastic! Met the couple that own the restaurant and they are wonderful. Food was great, place was hopping, sauces were excellent and it only took about 8 minutes. Highly recommended!❤️

    Really good nice lil spot , me and my bf came and he got tacos de birra I tried it too and it was super good not too small or big or dry, I got a pambazo it was good. Had good music playing and the customer service was excellent. Will come again to try the rest of the menu.

    This place was amazing! I was impressed with the value, service, and food. The dishes were presented beautifully, like those in a Michelin star restaurant. The salad was simple but fantastic, and the tacos dorados were surprisingly sweet. I would definitely return.

    Initially I was a little taken back at the price as I had take out. I was having some buyers remorse while I drove home;however, after the first bite into my fajita all that remorse was silenced. It was absolutely delicious and worth every penny.

  • 5/5 Christopher G. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place, attentive, hard-working staff. Great food and reasonably priced. I walked out with about a dozen tacos. Average price was abiut $2.50 per taco on top of that, for all those tacos it only took about 5 minutes to receive them all. I got the barbacoa and it's good. The bean and cheese is actually really good as is the Carne guisada. Very happy to continue going to this place! I'll let you know on the other flavors I try!

    First things first, you're going to wait a little longer for your meal here. That's because each meal is individually prepared fresh and brought out piping hot. And talk about unique and authentic. Love this little "hole in the wall"!

    Good food, nice atmosphere. A little cozy, only so much dining room. Had the pollo a la Mexicana’ dish. It was alright. I would rate the flavor 8/10. But I do appreciate the fresh ingredients that’s a huge plus. Would try something different next time though. Drinks really do look appetizing!!
