    Such a great place! If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is it! I can safely say this is my Latin husband's favorite place to eat in The Woodlands! Quick great service, and a bright cheery dining area. All of the tacos are excellent! And the chips and salsa, (even tho they charge and that's a pet peeve of mine that I don't like) are so delicious. Otherwise, I would give 5 stars! Wonderful place!

    We went a tad crazy for lunch and ordered a ton. Street tacos: Al pastor, carne asada, barbacoa Fried plantains and crema Flan Tortas Al pastor Gorditas carnitas Everything hit the spot. Order took a while to make. I might forgo the sandwich next time since it was on the heavy side.

    Wifey date
    Richy O.

    Today the guacamole had no flavor and the carne asada tacos were not as good as they usually are and the service was quick when taking our order but the waitress never came back to refill our drinks or give us our check. We had to call them over to get our bill. Overall, it wasn't the best today.

    Chips and Queso
    Alonso T.

    10/10! This Central American restaurant is one of our favorite restaurants!! Forget Tex mex- this is the real deal. We drive 40 minutes just come here and it's well worth it. They have aguas frescas, menudo / Pazole of the weekend, Gorditas with authentic asado queso, and for dessert (listed as a side), order the fried plantains with Greek yogurt. Servers are always very friendly and can help you choose if you are unsure what you want. For ambiance - it's high quality food but a casual environment with very affordable pricing. I come for personal reasons and take clients here for lunch.

    Birria Tacos (3)
    John B.

    First time here, and it was delicious. Couldn't decide between quesabirra tacos or street tacos...so I got both Both options were good. The Birria tacos tasted great and the consommé was good as well. I ordered the a la carte tacos. They were BIG. Worth the price. Chips and salsa are extra but the chips were very good and fresh. The service was prompt and friendly. The food came out very fast, which is always nice. The restaurant is small, and has a small bar for 4 people. They are about 75% full tonight, so there was no wait for a table. Great place to pull over for some food to wait out traffic.

    Posole
    Jackie G.

    Was craving posole and thankfully they still had some 11 am. In the past they had run out quick. The waitress was nice and fast. Since we showed up right before their breakfast was ending, the place was packed. We had to wait around 10 minutes for a table. But it was worth the wait because the posole was real yummy. The broth was rich and it had a lot of big chunks of meat too.

    a bowl of chips and a bowl of sauce
    Germanie J.

    She shoots and she SCORES!!!! Lol What a pleasant surprise! This place has fast food speed with 5 star quality and service! The owner really knows what they are doing! Let's take a moment to applaud the owner and wonderful staff members! Amazing! Food was fresh and came out in a blink of an eye! Like did you just pull that from your back pocket? lol Restaurant was nice and clean. It's not very large and the parking lot is very small. However, the strategy of getting the food out fast allows for customers to be served quickly so that they are in and out! Fast service without jeopardizing the quality and customer experience? That my friend is genius! I see what you did ;-) Ohhhh don't forget to grab an Agua Fresca- Ask for half Jamaica and half Limon, oh so good! I WILL be frequenting this spot!!

    Pastor Quesdilla

    I ordered this using Uber eats. I contacted the restaurant to let them know that the quesadillas were so oily that I had to throw them away. The manager told the lady on the phone with me that they could not send me something different. (I suggested maybe the chicken quesadilla and let her know how oily their pork was, which is what the pastor is made of) the manager said that they could give me a code for a coupon to get chips and queso. Really? My kitchen was under construction, so that's why I had to order something to be delivered and all they could offer was a coupon for a future purchase. I am so disappointed as I've been going to this restaurant since they opened. I don't believe that I'll be ordering from them again.

    Vegetarian torta
    Vinh N.

    This was a delicious unexpected find while driving on the highway through the Woodlands. Had the best vegetarian torta which went beyond the usual accompaniments without the meat by featuring portobello mushrooms. The stir-fried portabello were not too oily. Service was quick enough that I can see this as a popular lunch option in the area. The restaurant was full on a Wednesday even before noon. Prices were reasonable. Parking is somewhat limited, and I think is shared with a granite counter store next door.

    Gordita perfection.

I made a reservation online and I should've taken photos and didn't, whomp. Pros: the manager, the vibes are very speakeasy, down to the staff's dress code, which was awesome! The bathrooms are clean and have music - which should be mandatory in my opinion! The presentation of food and quickness it came out was also a pro! The location is also prime & the decor is awesome. The cons: food itself was not as flavorful as it looked, we just weren't impressed. The best thing was the dessert, banana pudding, and the street corn casserole. We also had Tuscan chicken pasta, fish tacos, the cheeseburger, and chicken Tikka masala. It was ok. It was also very warm inside the restaurant, most people were fanning themselves. It's a tight fit and stays busy. We made a reservation and still had to wait in the tiny waiting area for approximately 15 minutes. It was my daughter's birthday (in the reservation) and they didn't do the fun sparkler. I brought this to their attention and they offered, but it was kind of too late at this point. The manager DID take it seriously and we appreciated it. they offered to do it, but we already had our dessert, it was just a bit of a disappointment. My husband also ordered a drink that was supposed to have fire tableside and it didn't, our waiter was average. It's a tight fit inside so don't expect privacy. Overall, we probably wouldn't go back. My rating: 3/5 (because of the manager), husband: 3/5, daughter 1: 2/5, birthday daughter: 3/5
