Ok. Hear me out. This place rocks. I was sketched out by the two security cars and the officers corralling a clearly inebriated fellow. But once we got in the door .... BOOM FLAVOR.

Highly recommend the birria tacos IYKYK. The place wasn't super busy and the food came out quick and hot. You can always judge a restaurant on their birria and it was awesome. I would absolutely go back.

This is a hidden gem. It is in the most awkward location but the food is good. I got the wings and they were a little dry, but the flavor was good. The hamburger was very good. The Loaded fries were AMAZING! We definitely say to give this location a try. We hear the quesadillas are very good, but we didn't try them. Definitely will try on our next visit. 🦋

Marvin stole my taco loving heart from a food truck years ago by graffiti park. He and his staff continue to make some of the most authentic delicious Mexican food in all of Houston.
