    Was not impressed... The chicken was dry and the beans had my stomach hurting....Service was fast and friendly but food I was highly disappointed...

    The chicken was very flavorful and ambiance is very laid back. The servers and waitresses were very attentive and friendly. Worth the drive for us!

    5 microwave tortillas, 3 thin strips of beef&chiken, a pice of a sausage cut in 4thin slices, 2 slices of chewy fatty costillas, bland rice & beans, 2 mini salsa cups and a Mexican Coke for $30. Utensils, Napkins or lime NOT included. Did I just get robbed ? I'll let yall decide!

    Wow what a good experience, food was hot and fresh. The waiter was very nice and easy on the eyes lol . The place was clean and smelled very good. Good cumbia music in the background. 8/10 good place to eat.

    Medio Plato Discada

    The discada was delicious! Generous portions for the price. Fresh food with great service!

    What is it with all of the sudden me eating at Mexican restaurants? I don't like Mexican food I tell ya. My friends know it, my mother knows even I know it but you know what? I think I've been getting introduced to the right places finally. Hole in wall, well kind of, this place is in the parking lot of a dying or dilapidated strip center with rough parking lot but do not let that deter you. As you walk towards the entrance you will notice on your left a sigh that says something to the tune of "16 pieces of chicken, 8 sides ". I forgot what the exact price is but it comes to about $20, HARD TO BEAT! I was kidnapped here from my day job near by kicking and screaming "nooooooooo, noooo Mexcan food!" but three fellow co wokers dropped me at the table, menu at hand and that was it. After removing the cloth bag from around my head I looked around, kind of dark place but nothing to deter, the smell of the food inside reassured me that there is care in their cooking. I looked at the menu after being distracted by about 10 tv's on the wall, ok maybe there were like 8 but who's counting? Everything on the menu is very reasonable, I stopped counting after seeing 5 items that were around the $5 range and figured that this is a blue collar working man's lunch budget deal. My friend told me to not worry about anything on there as I snap pictures of the menu for future reference and said that we are having chicken....ok I didn't really want chicken, I was going to pay for myself but I had to remember who kidnapped me. There were 4 of us mind you, two bakets of chips came out along with the usual salsas, they seemed home made and were good to hold over until..................THE CHICKEN. Eight pieces of marinaded, oven cooked 2 hoe chickens cut into a total of 16 pieces....ok they weren't hoe's, anyways then came 4 dishes of rice, 4 dishes of charro beans...or were they barracho beans? Seem the same to me but they were pretty good! I don't care for beans either, neither do people that ride elevators with me, have I got a surprise for my co workers on the way back. Anyways and not to be finished two little baskets of grilled onions came to the side as well and two tortilla baskets of corn tortillas. I think I took a picture and uploaded to the restaurants pic portfolio. Verdict: I am a fan, I like it, the chicken might not have been on the "fall off the bone" but the flavor, the sides, the price $20, that's a lot of food that was in front of us for just $20! I will definitely be back with my troops in tow (growing teenager and daughter) to feast and beats the "tired of routine" ci ci's pizza. $20 make me holla, lots of boom boom in this establishment me so hawngry.

    Foods really good. Service could be a bit better but it wasn't bad. It's also cheap compared to most places.

    I've lost count of how many times I've been here, so this review is long overdue…read more Yes, it's inside a gas station (Pitstop Express), but don't let that fool you. Some of the best food spots hide behind gas pumps, and this is one of those spots. The chicken stays consistent every single time. Finding good fried chicken in Houston is strangely harder than it should be, so I usually end up frying my own. But here? The chicken is seasoned, fried fresh to order, and just... good. Like, no gimmicks, just good chicken. Ordering is simple: place it at the counter, pay at the register, hand your ticket back, and then wait about 15 minutes for your food. And they've got fried okra, which always hits. The cooks keep the vibes up. It's all takeout; no seating so while you wait, browse the snack shelves. You'll probably spot something you haven't seen since childhood (depending on how far back your childhood goes). They also serve breakfast but Ive only had the chicken. This is definitely a go too when simple wing craving kicks in and I don't wanna cook.

    First let me say the chicken was amazing!!! However, they were out of all sides except tater tots…read morein which they didn't let me know until AFTER I paid for fries. The wait was incredibly long even though they weren't busy, but the workers were kind and gave us beverages while we waited. Overall the establishment was clean and the food was good. Not my favorite chicken spot but I'm not against trying them again.
