An authentic dive attached to a grocery store/market, in a shopping center off Siegen Lane. The only thing that wasn't "5 stars" for me was the queso. I guess I'm used to the more Americanized dips--this queso was literally queso (cheese) melted and served in a sizzling fajita skillet. I didn't dislike it, but for me, it was kind of bland. Plus, you'll want to eat it as quickly as possible before it firms up and you can't dip it anymore. But, not too quickly or you will lose some taste buds. Aside from the queso, I went the Honduran route for my meal, ordering three things that I thought would be MUCH smaller since they were quite inexpensive. Having eaten my fill of chips, queso, and salsa (which had quite the kick), I was only able to finish one of the three items I ordered--the tortilla con quesillo. I also ordered a cheese pupusa and a tamal hondureño. I could have made a meal from the tamale alone. It was wrapped in a leaf and filled with pork, green peas, and I believe rice and potatoes. Everything was made fresh to order and served "surface of the sun"-hot. In addition to what I ordered (plus the queso), my daughter had a steak burrito and a barbacoa gordita. With tip, it was under $40, and we brought probably half of it home. The server was friendly. I had only been here once quite some time ago, but I hope to return soon and more often!

One of my favorite places to eat in BR whenever I'm in town. You know a Mexican restaurants gonna be good if it's connected to a grocery store. This place is super affordable and very authentic! We come and get their burrito and flauta Everytime. The service is normal, nothing amazing, but great for a quick lunch bite. This place is never super busy, usually only maybe 4 or 5 other parties during lunch. Highly recommend!

The restaurant was good. Had some menudo. Went to the store side of it and was disappointed that I bought a pack of corn tortillas and they were bad. My mother-in-law had bought two packs the day before and one pack was bad.

Restaurant & bathroom were clean. Food & handmade tortillas were served hot & fresh. Salsas were not too spicy, but still good. Agua de melon was very tasty. Waitress rushed us a bit to order, but other than that, good service. Actual authentic mexican food.
Best in town Been there almost every weekends to pick up menudo but next time, I should really try your other foods

Food is fantastic. Went searching for breakfast tacos one Saturday morning and ended up here. I keep coming back. The breakfast is to die for. Ham and eggs served with warm tortillas and the best rice and beans, the chilaquiles are to die for. Fajitas are fantastic. Really is such a hidden gem in BR.

Wished I had come here sooner because the food here is PRETTY DARN GOOD! -The barbocoa and lengua taco were juicy, tender, and mouth-watering! -The baledas was awesome, too. What is a baledas? It's an American-style soft taco slathered in refried black beans and a bit of white farmers' cheese, then folded over. -And lastly, the pupusas was the best one I've ever had in my life. Pupusas are thick corn tortillas that can be stuffed with various fillings, including various meats, refried beans, cheese, and even squash flowers. Overall, you gotta come here! And I'll definitely be coming back!
Best Menudo and Homeade Tortillas in Louisiana hands down!

I ordered Queso and the cheese was very hard . I wasn’t even able to eat it . A waste of money !
