I've been here twice. The first time, we placed a to-go order, and they forgot the tortillas we…read moreordered. Since we were already home, we just had to make do without them. The second visit was dine-in. The service was friendly, but the biggest issue was that our waitress took everyone's order, brought out all of the food except one person's, and then came back about four minutes later to tell us they were out of sopapillas. Why did they wait so long to tell us? They didn't have a similar substitute to offer, and since that guest doesn't eat eggs (which are included in nearly every breakfast item), there really wasn't anything else on the menu they could order. The menu is fairly limited overall. On the positive side, the prices are reasonable, it never seems overly crowded, and the food is decent. It just wasn't memorable enough to make me want to go out of my way to return.

You can order ahead and pickup or sit inside and they always have a movie playing. Today's was venom which entertained my son. My husband and i got the breakfast burrito every time and it was stuffed full on a homemade tortilla. I tried charro beans one day and they were solid. Next time i tried the rice - also solid. Last visit got the chips and salsa. Now i like it hot so for me it was perfect but note if you don't like spicy to either skip it or see if they have something milder. My son got eggs and bacon each time and it was also really good. It's cash or cash app only so be prepared in advance. We had the same server each time and she was very nice. Wish we were closer as we would absolutely be regulars.

Service was great, although table cleaning was a bit slow as we came during a busy time (they don't have very many tables for as popular as they are). The food took a bit long, but homemade food is never fast! Plus they were busy with both dine in and takeout orders! So bring your patience and expect to be rewarded with great food. :) PS. Check their hours because they do close early!

My favorite were the ribs. Cooked perfectly. Tender but not falling off the bone. Well trimmed. Great flavor. Basted lightly in a bbq sauce. The brisket was good and appears to be their most popular item (they run out frequently). But I've had other brisket that I like better. I like their bbq sauce and they gave an ample portion on the side. It's a small place and there is no eating inside although they have outdoor seating. It's counter service. And a big plus is you watch them carve and weigh your meat while the person at register keys in exactly what you owe. Process was friendly and expedient. I've been here a couple of times before and will definitely be back.

I had to stop myself multiple times from going back to make sure we could try the other places on our list but this one was by far one of my absolute favorites.

If you ever have the opportunity to stop in here and grab some tamales and brisket I HIGHLY recommend it!

I believe they serve breakfast all day and after 11am they also offer their lunch/dinner menu. We ordered the chorizo omelette, the chilaquiles with the carne adobada, and the churro pancakes!! My favorite was the churro pancake -- it was saauur good!! Its chewy and surprisingly not as sweet as i expected it to be, and we ordered it as a pancake plate so it came with 3 bfast sausages on the side. I also really liked the carne adobada chilaquiles!! We also got the cafe de olla for coffee and it was a bit sweet but good with some cream! c: I would def come back for those pancakes whenever we come back to galveston!
