From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. We had no issues with seating, and our orders were taken promptly without feeling rushed. The food? Absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious.

“Un lugar donde la comida es un placer“

“It’s always an amazing experience when I come this establishment. Every time I go I try a new plate my new favorite is their enchiladas I haven’t been anywhere on the east side with enchiladas that taste like that! My kids enjoyed the outside dining and on rainy days like today even though the inside is small it was spacious. Definitely worth visiting this restaurant they have my family as customers for as long as they are open.“

“🌮 Absolutely amazing food truck!
They serve some of the most delicious tacos I’ve ever had. I’ve tried every single one, and they never disappoint. The shrimp tacos are my personal favorite — packed with flavor — but the tripe, salmon, and steak tacos are also incredibly tasty.

Their nachos are great as well, loaded and satisfying. And you can’t leave without getting one of their horchata drinks… so refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal.

Highly recommend stopping by if you want quality, flavorful food every time.“

“The food was fantastic, and I don't think I've ever had such delicious chips and salsa! I highly suggest the fiesta combo with a margarita. The platter was so big we ended up taking most of it home, and the margarita was top notch! We'll be back!“

What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful 😊. They knew the menu inside and out and were happy to give recommendations, which made choosing dishes so much easier 👍. Their professionalism and positive attitude really elevated the visit.

I honestly can’t recommend this place enough 🙌. From the delicious food to the warm atmosphere and top-tier service, everything came together perfectly. It’s the kind of place that leaves you with lasting positive memories and makes you want to come back again and again 💯❤️.“

“A true local favorite with incredible meats.
This restaurant is a total hidden gem. It’s easy to see why the locals flock here—the food is consistently delicious and the service is incredibly welcoming. The lady at the front is exceptionally friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. I tried the steak tostada, which was excellent, and both the al pastor and steak tacos were top-notch. If you’re in the area, you definitely have to check this place out. The food comes out very fast, more of a take out spot and eat in the parking lot or take to go, very limited space inside.“

“You wouldn't think these tacos would taste good especially since it's right next to a gas station but you're right... these tacos aren't good they are DELICIOUS!! I ordered steak tacos, chicken tacos, burritos,and rice and beans..the food has lots of flavor too!! The staff is also very nice :)“

“I ordered the steak torta on my first visit and it was incredible fresh bread, tender steak, and a really balanced flavor all the way through. I went back the next week for the steak tacos, and they were just as impressive. The corn tortillas were cooked perfectly with that light crisp you want, and the steak was seasoned just right.

The red sauce has a good kick, so if you’re sensitive to heat you’ll feel it, but the flavor makes it totally worth it. Service was quick, prices were fair, and the food has been consistently excellent. I’ll definitely be going back to try more of the menu.“

“Nice place, great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“We ordered corn Tilapia and Mushroom Tacos and they were delicious. I loved the grilled Tilapia a little more. The ambiance was quiet around 4pm and the service took about 10-15 minutes for the food to arrive.
Would love to go and try other food as well!“

“I love supporting family owned businesses. Love that this is an option in the area late nights as there’s not many food options nearby. The chicken quesadilla is my favorite and I love how juicy it is!

Vegetarian options: You can ask them to modify your order to vegetarian-based.“

“Once again, a great meal!! Some of the best Mexican food in the region!!“

“The food is good. Best Pozole and Menudo on the south side. Place is very small and not well ventilated, and it gets very smoky. I don't know if they need a bigger and better exhaust fan for the smoke or what. But the place can sometimes be hard to breathe in. Bathrooms are cramped, with old stucco walls and a very old, worn-out faucet and sink. Can't be easy to keep clean. The place could use a face-lift. For such a small place the service could be better.“

“The goat of goat tacos!! I've heard alot of people from the region say you have drive to the east side for authentic goat tacos. Not true!!! Right on Gostlin Street in Hammond is some of the most delicious birria you'll ever eat!! Free parking lot but limited number of tables inside!“

“Excellent food and much more reasonable prices than surrounding Mexican restaurants. Very pleasant service staff and always smiling.“
