I tried red pozole for the first time and it is delicious and has good flavor. The golden toast is an excellent detail. The service was also very friendly and attentive.

Food was mixed. Shrimp was good, but the fajitas were probably not the best choice. The service was slower than expected. The kid’s menu was a good option.

My husband found this place and oh my goodness, these are the best steak tacos we've ever had. They test authentic and just SO freaking good. We were talking about it the other day and said we cannot get sick of this place. It's our go-to taco shop! Also, the quesabirria is great!! I can drink the entire dipping soup. Small hidden place, but clean and the owner really takes pride in his work. You can tell.

Review with our neighbors! Heads up, it was delicious, and so authentic!

Service was alright I’d say it was like a 15-20 minute wait for 5 items. Also the waiter had to ask me what I ordered again so it’s 3 stars

Food was good, the torta had tomato lettuce sour cream and whatnot. Also the beans were good so, 4 stars. Name of the foods in the photo captions.

The atmosphere was really Mexican and lively, so as a Mexican myself I liked it. They had music in the background and paintings to entertain yourself to find the meaning behind it. 5 stars.

Overall the food was good and delicious, service was alright, and the atmosphere was beautiful, so overall the rating is 4 stars!

(Ratings were averaged over each person. For example 3 stars 4 stars then 5 stars the average would be 4)

Parking: Beware of the giant pothole while exiting, like seriously.

I ordered a chicken burrito and a can coke. No lettuce no tomato’s no sour cream. Add jalapeños. My coworker got 3 beef flour tacos and 2 sodas and a side of fries. I was charged $46. This is absurd. Pure theft. The food wasn’t all that. The chips and salsa sucked. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. I regret stepping foot in here. $46 for 2 meals at 12:30 pm is insane. Worst experience ever!!!!!!! I’m in Chicago for work, had I been in Houston, this meal wouldn’t be close to $25. Don’t come here. Oh and they have no restroom to wash your hands. 0/10

I wanted a quick dinner after the gym and found this spot on Google with great reviews. I had two steak tacos to go and they were DELICIOUS, best asada tacos I’ve had in a long time with good flavor and nicely griddled. I loved the green salsa, red salsa tasted good but rojo is usually too spicy for me. The green had a nice kick but I could handle it. I also asked for lime and they gave it to me with a few cucumbers and radish which I love.

Space inside was so cute, great art on the murals, clean, nice casual seating that looks brand new, adorable cactus salt shakers on the tables and the girl behind the counter was so friendly and nice. She said the quesabirrias are a hit and I noticed they have chocoflan on their specials menu, which is like to try sometime.

So happy to discover this spot even though it’s been around for over a year they said.
