Hands down one of the best restaurant spot I’ve ever been to—everything from the flavor to the freshness was on point. The people there are incredibly kind and make you feel right at home, like you’re part of the family. If you’re even thinking about trying this place, stop thinking and just go—you won’t regret it.

Some of the best Mex in Houston. My margarita was the bomb too. Pricing was lower than what most taquerias have been moving to. Service was great and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for too. Can't wait to eat there again.

Very nice people and place. Went there Saturday evening and they had dj with music. Great food and I mean it. The chicken soup tasted exactly like my grandma's from Romania. Great food has no borders. Highly recommended.

When you’re the only Gringo in the place, it’s probably going to be good! The green salsa was perfect. Pricing is really good and service was excellent. I had the Texas plate which is enchiladas and carne guisada. I prefer the brown carne guisada, where this is more red. But still had a good flavor and meat was tender. I also ordered one taco with pastor. Good option for late night eats.

I just saw a bad video about this place on TikTok! Let me tell y’all this place is incredible. You got quality and authentic Mexican flavor right here. The staff has always been nice to me and my friends. They are kinda loud when there’s music but hey we’re Mexicans we’re loud but you can still talking with your friend and won’t be no problem because of the noise. Excellent place I’d wish to live closer to come more often. 100% recommend.
