“When I’m in houston i’m always bigging my back. I made the drive to this food truck and it exceeded my expectations. Food was made to order but I called ahead for a headstart. Food came out piping hot and fresh and didn’t take long at all! I had the honey garlic dry rub fried chicken wings, regular chicken wings, and fried catfish & shrimp. I sampled all 3 dishes and it was phenomenal. Seasoned and fried to perfection! Would highly recommend and will be back again!“

“I've been wanting to stop by here for some time and they did not disappoint! You order at the counter, receive a number, and have a seat while they prepare your order. Service was fast and the food was delicious. We had the empanada flight...All of them were great! We had the oxtails with sweet potatoes and greens. The oxtails were very well seasoned and super tender. The greens and sweet potatoes remind you of those an old country grandmother would make for Sunday dinner. We also got the grilled fish and shrimp. It was tasty , too, but the oxtails were definitely my favorite. We've already been back and I'm sure we'll go back again. I highly recommend if you're in the mood for some good southern comfort food.“

“Well, it took 3 attempts (different days) to actually receive this order for 11:45 a.m. & 12:00 p.m. D&L canceled three (3) times because the TOGO order was still cooking. Door Dash could not wait, so they canceled the delivery.I enjoy the Turkey Wings. They are always tender and seasoned. The gravy was delicious, and the cornbread was a winner. I will still order. This is two (2) meals for me. I will bet it weighs 3+ lbs. Delivered piping hot!“

“This is a really neat place! Came in town with my family and they wanted to try a new restaurant they heard about. We loved everything but had some disconnect with the catfish . They were so pleasant and willing to re-make. Even after the re-make we still didn’t like and they offered us to change our order which was very accommodating. The young lady never stopped smiling or being helpful. The cashier kept checking on us and even the owner came out to apologize. We expressed our concerns and he was he very willing to listen. He was super nice and very professional. This place deserves everything and more for exemplify such great service!“

“It so funny how ppl can downplay an owner like you guys are doing. You might not see him on the scene all the time, but he is there watching at all times. I’ve work for this company for 2.5 years now; like I joke with the owner like you gone have to bury me in my TGS fit ?, bc I’m here to stay for a long time. Working for him and beside him; you’ll gain a lot of knowledge RESTURANT wise and personal wise; this man will give you his shirt or jacket off his back! If you lacking in any area of the restaurant or personal life he will step in 100 percent to make sure you got what you need to succeed outta life totally. He gives back to the community; one year he blessed a customer with a CAR for Mother’s Day; have events for the kids as well too. This owner is not just an owner he goes beyond for his staff and for the customer as well. It’s always a MANAGER or LEAD on site at all times. Despite the negative reviews this company is great company to work for. He is one owner that gives back to his community; what company pays you a good wage and don’t check BACKGROUND. Just go off on a word of mouth or how your interview goes; can’t beat a company like that!“

“My wife was craving pupusas but I was craving pollo asado so we ordered both.The pupusas were big and stuffed with cheese. The curtido had the perfect “pickled” taste. The salsa was tasty with a kick!The pollo asado plate fed us both and we had enough left over for a second round each. The pollo asado was very flavorful and the smoked sausages were a nice surprise. The rice was good and the charro beans were delicious. They had a good amount of sausage and bacon in them.“

“This is a very hole in the wall, no frills restaurant. It is very old school and you order and take your food to go. Seems like one of the few actual late night places (closes at 3am). The owner, I assume ms betty, has a very get shit done attitude, which I enjoyed. She RUNS the restaurant and will tell you what's up. I'm sure her attitude can be off putting but she chatted with me and gave my partner and I free sodas. Turns out she's an immigrant from Macau and had been in Houston for 35 years, so hats off to her! Foodwise, they have burgers, wings, and various dinner platters all at very affordable prices. I got chili cheese fries and a hamburger and both were excellent. The fries were crisp with nacho cheese sauce and chili on top and the burger was very large and tasty. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to when I have cravings in the middle of the night!“
