These have to be some of the best tacos in Houston. They're also probably the only great breakfast taco taqueria open on Sundays at 6am! They have great service and plenty of seating. There's definitely enough parking there too. People are in and out pretty quickly. I think the dial is set on the hallmark channel. You just walk in and choose your selection on the steam table. They have a great selection too. So reasonably priced! We come here pretty often and enjoy it. I highly recommend it! read more

Flew into Bush to visit family and stopped here after getting off the plane for breakfast. This place is small, unassuming, mom-and-pop style and really delicious. There was a small line out the door when we got there and we were most definitely the only non-native Spanish speakers in the building! Practice your Spanish yall! This seems like a locals' spot. You walk up and order and they make your food as you order. We ordered 4 tacos between the two of us and everything was delicious. I wish I lived near here so I could go all the time! Great price and and delicious food. read more

These used to be the best tacos , unfortunately over time it became the worst place , the meat has no flavor they don't sell u extra tortillas they expect you to eat a whole plate with 3 could at least be 4 they are overpriced!!! read more

Pronounced 'Crystal Ball.' I guess you don't need to be a Fortune Teller (FT) to see this theme coming. FT: "Parentheses are in your future." I will let the crystallomancy (reading of a crystal ball) by the Fortune Teller (drabarní) predict (in quotes by FT) my review, and I will add my actual experience (prefixed by "---"). ----Ah-ah-ah! I know what you are thinking: "shaman you!".---- ((())) (( ' : ' )) _*| |*_ / , **** , \ __ /_'_.( O )_'_\ __ FT: "A great fortune, or property, will soon come your way, but you must be keen to watch for this opportunity and be bold and energetic." ----Maybe. But it won't be this place. If you look at the pictures of the place, you know enough of what to expect. It is a local restaurant in a lower middle class neighborhood. Since it is slightly off the main road, too, you should expect predominantly locals eat here. So, wave your hands slowly over the crystal ball. Close your eyes. Tell me the future of this place. You are correct. It will last awhile longer. The food is good enough. People know each other, the owner and staff.---- FT: "You will meet a tall, dark stranger." ----Yes, and that bus boy is slow to clean tables for waiting customers on this busy day. The furniture is cheap plastic and aluminum. Décor is bare bones, bright lime green paint with hand-lettered signs, mainly.--- FT: "A lady of great wealth and beauty will enter your life, but you must act with boldness. You will soon meet such a person when you least expect it." ----Probably not here. The female staff are nice, though, and service is good. English language is not a problem for waitress.---- FT: "You will gain weight" ----Calorie counting is not a high priority among patrons here. The menu offers typical Mexican food, and sitting in stainless steel cafeteria bins with grease evident.---- FT: "You will order some combination of corn, meat, lettuce, tomato, beans and perhaps avocado." ----Amazing prediction for a Mexican restaurant! For the variation, I ordered tacos.---- FT: "The food will be plain and as good as from a taco truck" ----Yes. Nothing stands out.---- FT: "You will wonder if you shouldn't have ordered something else" ----Yes. Enchiladas on the adjacent table look like a better option.---- FT: "You will not return" ----For non-locals like me, there are better places nearby.---- FT: "You will stop reading this review..."

I get up early so that I can get here at opening time sometimes during the week (and the food is already fresh and prepared). I really enjoy the tacos here. In zero of my visits here have I experienced that the food was sitting for too long or tasted cold. The Tortilla is made so well and deliciously supplements the serving you choose. It seems to be a family owned Business/Restaurant, so you can rest assured that they're excellent at making your Traditional Mexican food. The service is firm, kind, and straight to the point because you already know that all you want is the food. Demand here is rather high and the Restaurant manages to keep a great price for the Tacos. Coffee and Beverages are to the right as you walk in. The Hot Sauce is truly made to spice up your dish. Come try it out and taste the many blooming flavors. The tacos are at a rather large size (including the serving) and for a filling experience for one person, you won't have to spend more than $5-$6. Credit and Debit Cards are accepted here. read more

Tacos are big. Flour tortillas made on site. Excellent selection of meats cooked right. Breakfast tacos available as well. Nothing fancy but a place I like to go sit and have my breakfast or lunch and just chill for a bit. Prices are decent. Get there early. Only reason for no 5 star is they have no set closing time. If there's no customers, they close. Overall, a good experience and good food. read more
