Avoid this place unless you're brown enough.If I go with my wife, we get noticed. If I go by myself, I get ignored.There's no official waiting line. There isn't a sign saying you can sit wherever you'd like, or please wait here to order to-go. If there was, it was probably behind the "hostess" who was talking to the mariachi for 20 minutes, at the entrance. (Yes, while blocking the entrance.) (BTW, the mariachi that plays there is great. Great vocals)You have to grab your own menu off a table since there isn't any available, especially for to go orders. They're hidden behind the hostess table. Some kid behind the stand pointed it to me.Unless you've been there before and know what to order, they may skip you like they skipped me. They asked some lady who came after me what she wanted first. Then after her order they went off and left the order station alone. Just left me standing there like an idiot. For another 2 minutes.Another person walks in and they say " Hola Buenos dias" to them. But never to me.I left. I felt disrespected. I liked the people that used to work there (25 years ago) they had a tasty caldo de mariscos. If it's the same people, then oof. Good luck.The few times that I've been here.The food was: 2.5/5 ( as long as I go with my wife)Service: 3(as long as I'm with my wife or other family members).I'm sure it's a good place and they were just "busy". But at that point, I'd rather eat next door at Aboasolo. And that place has its flaws too.

I wouldn’t go back terrible service! Menudo was disgusting . Waitress was very unattentive. Another person in another table gave me his coffee cream because I asked the waitress and she never brought some. Gorditas were burned. In a scale from 1 to 10 I would give this place a 0

I stopped in here for a breakfast. It seems like a pretty wholesome place. Food was good and price to value was pretty good overall.I would be happy to eat here again

Food is definitely not the same anymore. Beans are not the same. Chips were way too stale. Do not recommend. Prices have gone up like crazy, very disappointing. Use to be my favorite spot for yearsTables are way to close together! Kid passed by my table and dragged some of her hair on my plate. Got shoved a couple times while eating by kids passing by.Kid-friendliness: No kids menu
Went back to visit after they reopened. Damn, did prices go up!Huevos ranceros with bacon, refried beans and coffee $17. 81.They lost meEl de la mesa 1

Just flew in from Mexico City. Awaiting a bus to North Texas. I came here for lunch and to wait for departure, with my luggage, awkward.Very friendly, family enviroment. Delicous food, affordable prices. They were more than happy to let me rest and eat lunch. 5 stars

This is a hidden gem near Downtown Houston. This place opened back in 1980 and has been passed from generation to generation.

It's aight. Food was good but the place looks a bit run down. Didn't feel like there was a.c. in there.
