Driving home after a nice swim, it's 8:30p and I'm famished. I call a friend who tells me she just…read morehad some awesome lamb tacos w/ avocado at La Hacienda for lunch today, and it cost her a buck fifty each. OMG - a buck fifty for a lamb taco w/ a slice of avocado? Detour executed and I'm there. As soon as I get out of the car I am immediately approached by a lady who wants to sell me her tamales. She speaks no English, I speak no Spanish, so we're lost in translation. "I'm here for lamb tacos" I say, yet taking the Energizer Bunny route she keeps trying to push me to buy her tamales. "I'm GOING THERE TO BUY LAMB TACOS!!" as I pointed in the opposite direction. I finally tell her I'll be back, and she obliges. Whew! I walk in and the process looks familiar - go around to register first and put in your order and pay, then head to the food area and they'll make your order. The layout and flow is convoluted, the food bar is there when you walk in but you have to walk all the way around because it's blocked off. That's the 2nd barrier I've had to deal with so far and I don't need another barrier to get to lamb, the Tamale Parking Lot Lady was enough already. I ask if they have lamb and here's barrier #3, we are again lost in translation. At this point I proceed to slap myself in the face and think "WTF did you take 2 yrs of French in HS and end up in TX where it's 50% Spanish speaking??". Qué idiota! Luckily a nice bilingual Security Guard is present and helps facilitate w/ the communication. I pay $3.25 and my journey continues. $3.25 for 2 lamb tacos w/ cliantro + onion on corn tortillas. She gave me plenty of lamb, then handed me the plate w/o any avocado. No more speaking or lost in translation, I'm resorting to hand signals now, so I point to the avocado. She cuts it open and slices a generous portion for each taco. Wow - - so now I'm thinking if this store was in a different neighborhood w/ people who spoke perfect English, I would have likely been up-charged at least $0.50 for each avocado slice. But in this case, it's all good in the La Hacienda hood, I thank her and take a seat. But alas, as I get ready to take a bite I hear "excuse me, sir?". Oh geez, now what, is this Tamale Parking Lot Lady's husband??. No - it's barrier #4, the handyman. He's on a ladder close by and up in the ceiling. He says I should probably move because he doesn't want ceiling insulation to fall into my food. Um, yeah, insulation sprinkled on my tacos is not a good combination - muchas gracias! I get up and walk all the way around to the other seating area and I find 3 sauces there: dark red is pungent but very tasty; light red is hot, and a lovely green salsa that's so damn good. I finally take a bite and they were awesome, the lamb was on the salty side but still flavorful. My appetite is satisfied for $3.25. WTF is this, 1995? I call my Spanish speaking friend and ask her for some translation assistance, I hang up and tell the cook: "Sus tacos son deliciosos!!". She responds w/ half a smile and gives me this "crazy-stupid-white-man-we-close-in-20-min-I'm-damn-busy-look". Oh well, I think she got the point, I was happy. I walk out to my car ready to do another bilingual battle but to no avail, the Tamale Parking Lot Lady had disappeared. Cool beans! Oh what a night.

It's an okay store. Smell your meat before leaving the store. Many time we've gotten home and our…read moremeat was rotten. Before anyone says or thinks anything bad or negative of what I've stated, no it wasn't sitting out for a long period of time. We live 5-10mins from the store, and usually we buy meat to make that same day. An issue I do have with the meat handlers is although they are friendly(at times) they aren't hygiene oriented. The cashier can be very hit or miss with customer service.

I walked in looking for some sort of preserved, untainted by Texas influence, Mexican culture and I was not let down. Mi Tienda offers plenty of meats - none of which I'm interested in eating myself, but someone who is also searching for Mexico in Texas may want to try it - and beautiful cheeses. Oh the cheeses... Real Mexican cheeses! You can find Mexican candies here, my favorite! Tamarind, plenty of it. There is a small food counter where they offer nothing vegan and only a fish empanada that some non-meat eaters may venture into trying. I had it and was laoded with some of the most flavorful salsas and Mexican cheese I've had in a really long time.

Tamales were huge with a ton of masa which ruined the enjoyment of the meat. The meat was under seasoned as well. Tacos here are very expensive and not worth the price.

Best in the area, and I love supporting small businesses. I got their mega taco and split that with my partner. Kept us both full! Food was made to order but wait wasn't too long. Definitely worth it. Good prices for the amount of food they give you. You order at the back of the gas station, wait for your food, then pay at the front register. The entrance doesn't look like it'll have all this amazing food, but trust it and you won't regret it! It's still your average convenience store, but the space was clean and the man at the register was very kind. There are also seats and tables in front of the order counter to sit and wait or enjoy your food. Definitely recommend for breakfast tacos! They also sell tamales and have lunch specials.

Expecting going into an ice cream shop, you would not smell anything and find anything ice cream, and they surely have many options, and you will most likely find something of your liking here. They apparently have snacks and foods too. Their menu is mainly in Spanish, and their ice cream flavors are definitely Mexican inspired such as chamango, fresca con leche, chocolate abuelita, Nanche, and queso. The ladies were nice and ready to scoop up some ice cream. My kid earned her blue stripe at Rise Martial Arts Center next door and asked for a blue Cookie Monster ice cream at Chicos.

They even have alcohol, dishes, candles, other houseware supplies, and some basic American products. Prices area generally competitive, some much better than others. My main complaint is that it can be overwhelming, especially when you're trying to find one specific thing. The other issue is that so many items have mislabeled prices or none at all. This can be challenging when you're trying to stay in budget while faced with more options that you can imagine. Also, fresh prepared items don't necessarily have their ingredients listed which can be scary for less adventurous eaters. The store is generally easy to navigate even through some cluttered set ups.
