Restaurants in South Houston

“Ive been coming here for many years. Its little piece of neighborhood flavor. American fare with exorbitant portions and family friendly pricing. The steam table lunch/dinner options are just good old American choices like grandma used to make. From meatloaf to liver and onions with two sides(many daily choices of entree and sides) that will having you take home leftovers as your next big meal. I highly recommend for the ambiance, the staff and the family friendly pricing. This place has been here as long as I can remember(since 1952). Early closing times so check their website/Facebook page or call for operating hours. Will post pics next time I come here.”

“Tried it out with my mom not only because one of their workers goes to my spot, but because I remember their TikTok’s blowing up back in the day(2021). I unfortunately did not take pictures, but I did gobble up that food lmfaoWant to apologize if I was undercharged and got someone in trouble, I believe we ordered 5 tacos de bistec(fajita imo) 5 de pastor(trompo) and 2 gringas, I was asked if I got a drink and I said no and then my mom PROCEEDS TO GRAB a strawberry joya. I believe the total should have been $26 not $23.Gonna be as honest as possible.Went there around 9:40. Taco shop wasn’t too busy, but I was impressed about the amount of people still hanging out there even if it was 2-3 families and 12?.I loved the vibe there, brought me back to my roots. We had the tios hanging out, smoking by the trash can which I didn’t mind because they weren’t cat calling or heckling, just vibing. A group of police trying out the local food joint, but seem to be regulars. And a little dine in area inside, with a. Snack portion that we got to try out before close (10pm)Pastor:The pastor was alright, on a taco by itself I feel like it lacked a little flavor, but nothing the salsa bar can’t fix.($1ea.)Salsa bar had like 6 different salsas with some pickled onion and jalapeños you could appease yourself to. The salsa was good, just a little too runny for my taste.Gringas:Aren’t gringas supposed to be a quesadilla de pastor (trompo) with aguacate inside? Regardless this compared to a taco does NOT COMPETE! Please order con todo, as they do provide cebolla asada on the side with limones and bit that was one of the best quesadillas I had in a while, even if it was kind of small ($4 ea.)Tacos de bistec:Gotta say this bistec is better than mine, I’m gonna need that recipe! These were the best overall tacos in my opinion. But then again I only tried 3 items.Joya de Fresa:I was complaining ti my mother that this fruit punch joya tasted different, to which she clarified that it wasn’t ponche, but strawberry, and it was really good, though I’m not sure if we could take the bottle or not as the had an area to leave the glass bottles, so I finished the rest before leaving. ($3ea.)Esquite:Who doesn’t love an elote after eating?Order your elote con todo as the salsa isn’t spicy but the cup overall hits the spot($4 ea.)Next time I would like to try the pirata quesadilla, tripa, and campechana. Got my hopes up for the next round.Thank you to the three ment busting their a** through the night time!”

“Been coming here since I was 6 years old back in the FOODSTAMP days IYKYK love this place if your looking for a fancy place this place isn’t for you but if your looking for a hole in the wall that serves hot and ready tacos with homemade tortillas and good options then this is the spot to go especially on a Saturday and Sunday morning”

“Had breakfast burrito. Tacos con chorizo and tacos con pollo on corn tortillas. Cooked in front of you. Good food . The pastries were fresh and tasty. Although, I don't know what they were, still delicious.”

“Great atmosphere and Great Friends. Just enjoy yourself and get home safe. South Houston Police Security after hours , for safety and will not bother No One after closing.
Uber Drivers every where close by.🙂”

“One of a kind ice cream flavors AND MORE! We are from out of town and out waitress recommended this place. They have lots of flavored “aguas” (drinks), ice cream galore in a variety of different flavors I’ve never seen anywhere else. They also have sherbet flavors in all kinds of fruit flavors. They give samples so don’t be scared to ask for samples!”

“My parents would bring my sis & I since we were little.. 10+ yrs later, bringing my kids now. Thank you for so many great memories!”

“The burrito I had was fire. 1 of the best Carne asada burritos I ever had. And the customer service was amazing as well. Drove 40 miles to come here, and will do it again and again while I'm out here in Texas working.”

“Nice place to hangout with friends and have some drinks and jam out. Friendly staff with great service.”

“these tacos are more than good they are great !@ you should find this truck if you can because you will not be disappointed!!”

“excellent service and very friendly”

“Makes you feel like you’re home. Handmade tortillas and really good customer service. Like the señora calls me mijo and just brings back memories from mi pueblito. There is flavor not just in the food but also in the atmosphere. The chairs and decor is basic however what really matters is the food and atmosphere. Toilets were clean and the dining area was clean as well . Tables didn’t have any sticky residue. The menudo is very good just ask them to take a bit of the grease off and ask for extra limes and onion to complement it. Wash it down with a horchata and you’ll be a happy camper for the rest of the day.”

“I love the food at this restaurant. I used to come a lot because I love the menudo and their breakfasts, but I moved and couldn't come anymore. Today I was able to stop by and have my usual menudo, and it's amazing how delicious it still is. They have the best menudo here, and although I've noticed the prices have gone up, it's really worth it. I love the atmosphere and the friendly, welcoming service. My server, Patty, was very attentive and kind. I hope to come back soon. Highly recommended.”

“Juliettte is the best. When I'm hit with indecision she has the best recommendations or at least knows food. I swear she makes one sandwich soothe the soul of a warrior of a long day.

Good store, Mostly clean. Pretty up-to-date might be an old location but just a testament to the professionalism. Everything always seems tidy when I go in there for Lunch”

“great food. Great service”

“I like buying the breakfast sandwich. the sign out front is out. drove past 2 separate times. told the girls it was out they didn't seem to care but it certainly doesn't help business when your sign is not on and it's dark outside.”

“Outstanding service, wide range of food, just don't eat the crawfish. Husband and I both had some and are paying the price. The food is so good we are going again in spite of the upset stomach. What's a lil tummy trouble between friends anyways?”
