    Sope de chicharrón guisado y huitlacoche
    Milly T.

    My dad loves his hole in the wall spots so he told me to go try and omg definitely hidden but so so worth the try! It's a ma and pa restaurant and they are welcoming. Food took a little while to come out but not over 30 minutes. They have a salsa bar, plenty of seating, and ac. The food tasted like authentic Mexican food can't wait to try their other entrees! Ps they only take cash BUT they also accept Zelle

    Fast service good food always busy highly recommended never a disappointed customer here

    Chilaquiles Verdes
    Dustin B.

    The quality of the Chilaquiles dish and the service is in sharp contrast to the atmosphere. The little corner strip mall is a bit run down and has a CircleK that can be downright scary at night. I ate my breakfast in the parking lot on a clean table under an EZ-UP but I left like a million bucks because the service and food were so good. The Chilaquiles here includes a piece of carne asada, two eggs, rice and beans. You choose red or green chilaquiles. I ordered at the counter and went outside to sit down. You need to know some Spanish but everyone was nice about my horrible attempts at speaking. As soon as I sat down, someone brought me a chipotle salsa, an avocado salsa, and a basket of chips that have been lightly covered in beans and cheese and toasted. A free appetizer, nice! Later the huge breakfast plate came out as you can see in the picture. Rice was perfectly fluffy, with a taste of tomato. The beans were creamy and had a hint of pork and epazote flavor. So good! The piece of carne asada was thin flap meat pounded and thoroughly cooked but had distinctive Asada flavor and wasn't too chewy. I appreciated that there was no fat or gristle so I could eat the whole thing easily. The eggs were prepared as I requested (broken yoke) and the whites were crispy. The star, the green chilaquiles, was delicious - piquant, tangy, sour, and rich all at the same time, like a good enchilada sauce. The chips were fresh, thick triangles - some tender from the sauce and others crispy from the lack of sauce. Garnish was some queso seco (dry, crumbly, salty Mexican cheese) and crema (thin sour cream). I cleaned my plate and now it's time for a siesta.

    Quesadilla de chicharrón

    Delicious Mexican food! Order this: Quesadilla de chicharrón (they have 'normal' which is pork rinds in salsa or 'prensado' which is a block of pressed pork). I get chicharrón normal, and it's always, consistently good. Quesadilla is made fresh, it's not a flour tortilla, it's made with Masa. Covid recommendation: We called in ahead of time and picked up. Easy and quick Enjoy!

    this place was recommended by my mexican family friends who know good mexican food, and this did not disappoint! we arrived to order 7 wet burritos - pastor, carnitas, and carne asada. we were told to wait about 20 minutes and in the meantime we filled our salsa containers with a variety of salsas at the taco station outside. there were at least 5 varieties! the employees were so kind and helpful offering bags for us to carry all our salsa. the location was quaint with outdoor seating, 3 tables inside, and a bathroom. not sure what this looks like during non-covid times but really liked how the outdoor area was set up with the string lights. seems like a nice spot to stop and enjoy some tacos on a nice night! all burritos were huge and delicious! and not bad priced either at ~$7 each. they did get the order mixed up between those with red vs green salsa on top, but we were all still happy with our burritos and they all still were tasty. will definitely go back! seems like the quesadillas are a popular item here so eager to try that next time

    Carnitas quesadilla! Sorry...I'm not a foodie photographer! But so tasty!

    Nice people, fast service, great food! We ordered at the counter and sat outside. Soon after, a basket of warm chips with beans and cheese melting on top were brought to the table with a green salsa and a hot red. I've never seen that before but wow, super good! Husband had a chicken burrito which disappeared quickly! It was big and tasty. I had a carnitas quesadilla that was seriously a foot long! It was not made with a traditional burrito size tortilla but a handmade tortilla probably half the size of a burrito tortilla. It was delicious but I couldn't finish it! Flavorful carnitas, cheese, lettuce and sour cream. Blink and you'll miss this little place but don't miss it! Lunch and two bottled waters for less than $20.

    I am absolutely in love with this place for its authenticity and how delicious the food is. The food is also inexpensive and everything was so delicious. ESPECIALLY THE TACOS! Phew. They stacked so much meat into those things I was FULL. The place comes with many different versions of salsa too. It's the best time. I am so satisfied and so happy with everything this place offers.

    Two Carnitas Wet Burritos each $9. Looked good but full of fat & little meat. Overall cleanliness inside is poor. Will not return.

What impressed me this time was how well they handled a busy Friday evening with just three young staff members running the floor. They stayed calm, friendly, and on top of things. Christian especially stood out with his warm and affable personality, and the other two girls were also very helpful throughout. I have been here a few times now and the seafood has always been consistent. I keep coming back for the gumbo at lunch, and their shrimp platter is always a solid choice. Love this place and would recommend it any day.

Our go-to is the Combo 1 ($34.95) -- you pick any 2 pounds of seafood from crawfish, mussels, clams, octopus, or shrimp, and it comes loaded with 2 corns, 2 potatoes, and 4 sausage slices. It's an incredible deal. When we're really hungry, we tack on an extra pound of seafood and still walk away feeling like we didn't overpay. Compared to similar spots, the prices here are genuinely hard to beat. The service is great, the restaurant is clean, and the vibe is super fun -- they've got TVs all around so you can catch a game while you dig in. It's the kind of place where you roll up your sleeves, put on your bib, and just enjoy yourself. Highly recommend!

Very distrubed how i was talked about with your employees... and very disturbed how your chef tells me what do you want me to do? I can give you something else from the menu but im not going to give you the same meal? I paid a lot of money for this. Unacceptable. I should have been offered the pasta (i ordered with the sauce)
