Three tacos and a chalupa for $20 - including tip. Great value. I recommend the steak/beef tacos over the chicken. Note that flour tortillas are used instead of corn.
General downtown Houston warning applies about vagrancy. I had an unhoused gentleman ask me for cash while waiting on my tacos.
Salsa roja > salsa verde from this place
The food is always great, hot and fresh. I always get the breakfast super tacos, nachos, and/ or the beef crispy tacos!
Food is amazing. Service was kind and friendly.
