Fantastic little spot in C-ville! If you're looking for great menudo, chorizo and great service,…read morethen look no further! It's telling when you see A LOT of people eating here, and we were cautiously optimistic. Yet, we were seated immediately and food came out less than 10 minutes after ordering! Being from Tijuana by way of Guadalajara, I think I've got really good menudo figured out - and this is it! Our experience was amazing! Service was just as good (not sure what the bad reviews are about, but everyone was nice, serviceable and very welcoming!) Our new favorite spot in the SATX area for menudo!

We love this Mexican restaurant. It's a quick and convenient place to get food. They recently…read morechanged owners and what looked like did a whole change of staff. It was good because the waitresses before were bad. One in particular had a horrible attitude. So when they changed owners and I didn't see her I thought great! Well imagine my disappointment of seeing her there again after a couple of months. I'm pretty sure it's the one Catalina was talking about on her review. Everyone else is fine. This woman though. Every time she sees me she gives me attitude. I don't know how I offended her but it may be cause I match energies and give it right back. She also calls me mom. That's just weird!! lol. Listen if you didn't come out of me ma'am, miss or my name is just fine thank you.

Horrible tortillas! Bathroom? Do you mean sauna? Now you know what to answer when someone ask if you should go here.

Don't waste money or time...wait for the other two Mexican restaurants to open 30 minutes later or go to McDonalds...you will be better off. Ended up with a fajita taco that looked and tasted like brisket...maybe she really doesn't know what a taco is?

I use to frequent this place when they had a food truck set up on Potranco Road which seemed to…read morealways be busy. It might be less busy now as the construction worker foodies that made up most of their clients have dropped off now. However, coming to their brick and mortar location is more convenient for me as I enjoy having my lunch in an AC environment opposed to outside in the Texas heat. The menu is also expanded which I do like. I went with the Pork Frintanga plate. Pork is very tasty and chewy which is a nice touch to me. Add in the sweet plantain and fried cheese and this dish was definitely a winner. Big change up from the food truck meals of mainly papoose, which are a great food truck item. Service is a bit quiet, due to the language barrier, and their lack of speaking English probably hurts the business for non Spanish customers. For me, it adds some authenticity to the experience.

The food has that homemade, comforting flavor that just wraps you up and says, "you made the right choice today." Every bite tastes like it was made with care--not rushed, not generic. The portions are generous (come hungry), and the vibe is warm and welcoming. It's not about being trendy--it's about being good, and it absolutely is. This is the kind of place you come back to again and again when you want real food that actually satisfies.
