“OMG by far the best homemade, authentic Mexican food here in Galveston. Of course it’s not fancy and to people’s standards of clean; but very homely and the best Mexican comfort food!

Ginormous tortillas you just need the one they give you or maybe order one more extra cause it’s so good!

Waitress/server was friendly and attentive.

Did I mention it’s probably the cheapest restaurant around this area and the food is definitely the best that we came back to fill our tummy’s after exiting our cruise.

My mouth is getting watery thinking about the food again! Good thing we took a meal to go to snack on.“
