Came to Corpus Cristi for a friend’s funeral . With very short notice by me , I asked to have 40 tacos made to take to share at the reception. Without hesitation the order was accepted. I got great comments on the food and asked where did it come from? I Thank You all for your help and great food . You made a lot of us happy on such a sad occasion. God Bless You all .

I love this place. It is ran mostly by two sisters who both are very enjoyable and friendly. The atmosphere is friendly and family-oriented. The food is well proportioned and decently priced and a good variety. Service time is quick. They have a drive-thru and you can call in to go orders. They have daily specials and I love their sweet tea. I also love their tortillas big and fluffy hot and fresh every time.Hours are Monday through Friday 5:30 a.m. to 1:00 Saturday 6:00 a.m....
