    I really like this place a lot. My favorite menu items are their mixed fajitas for one and their fajita beef tostadas. The service is great. They also serve margaritas and beer. . Recommended.

    In from Galveston, TX for Rodeo Committee work shift. Decided to try this place and found it very good. Very clean restaurant, friendly and prompt service and the fajita quesadilla was wonderful. Their hot sauces were very good and I got some to go. We will return during the Rodeo. My picture not very good but the food was.

    So we tried this place for the first time here in Houston and it’s actually pretty decent, the Birria quesadillas are delicious with the Caldo that they give you. The “fajita” tacos Honestly, were just average they weren’t that good but they was good overall I do recommend this place! Good service was pretty good. All the ladies were nice and smiley and attentive and pleasant. They brought food very nicely and overall a great experience.

    A taste from home. We are here because of medical reasons and finding this gem lit up our day. Amazing flavor. Sopes are big. Barbacoa is flavorful.

    Very authentic and tasty Mexican food. The birria is some of the best birria I’ve had. The trompo is also fantastic. The staff are very friendly even taking song suggestions for the music they play in the store. Would highly recommend.

    Good food for a good price. Order at the counter and they deliver to you. Mostly Spanish speaking. Clean and relatively quick.
