Best mexican food we have found in town for sure!
The first time i went i loved the food. They have great atmosphere and friendly staff. Homemade and Corn Tortillas Tacos. A variety of meats. And Breakfast Tacos. And different delicious food. I always stop there before i go too work. Give them a visit you won't be disappointed. Just say Mario from H-Town told me about this place. ☺🙏
Bomb food !! FOOD COMES OUT FAST, HOT AND AMAZING 😋😋
1st visit and impressed with this small family owned restaurant. Went with a group and we were accompanied well. Tried the gorditas with tripa and chiccarron both great, but the tripa cooked just right. Other dishes order papa's with chorizo and chilaquiles.
I’d been hearing great things about this spot for a while—how delicious their food is, how it tastes just like home. But working full-time made it tough to catch them during their open hours. Finally, I had a chance to stop by.
When I walked in, I was the only customer at the time. The place was quiet, simple, and warm. I ordered the customer favorite—chilaquiles rojos—and waited with curiosity and high hopes.
The moment that first bite hit my tongue, I was overwhelmed. A knot formed in my throat and my eyes filled with tears. It wasn’t just good—it was familiar. It tasted like love, like memory. It tasted like my Welita’s cooking.
For a moment, time slowed down. I wasn’t just eating—I was remembering her, feeling her warmth and presence in that plate. That’s the power of food made with intention.
This place isn’t just serving meals—they’re serving moments. I’ll definitely be back. If you’re looking for something real, something that reminds you of your roots, do yourself a favor and try the chilaquiles rojos.

The food and service were fantastic!
Recently opened. Me and my dad stopped in for breakfast one morning while driving by. I ordered the chorizo and egg tacos, my dad had a plate. Both were excellent. Only homemade hot sauce here. They have traditional and a green, which was amazing. Neither were too hot though.
