Gallegos the greedy taco shop. Close to $20 for a tasteless soup? Nah-uh, no way. But I fuckin gave in, my first and last time for sure. Tables were smelly.

Don't bother. Poor customer service. Only cash. Expensive. They need to accept cards!

Love the chimichangas and Mojaras (fried fish) here.

Food is very delicious but the atmosphere is not that good. You can enjoy the food but barely enjoy the time spent there.

Went for the menudo and it was delicious!! Perfect way to start the morning. Small restaurant, incredibly friendly & made sure I was taken care of.

This place is more miss than hit. I gave this place a couple of chances before assuming the worst but every time I order from this place, something is wrong. The first time, I called in an order for pick up so I can be quick. I arrive, pay for my order, and the next customer orders the same thing and when the order is ready, she ends up giving the burrito to that same customer. The second time, I order a breakfast burrito with bacon and she charges me for the wrong item( which happens to be more) and the burrito was small. The last time and final straw that made me want to write this review, had to be the customer service.

Best Mexican food in City Heights. Great camarones dishes except they leave the shells on. It looks fancy but makes for messy eating.Parking: The small parking lot requires creative parking.
