    Stopped in for a quick breakfast. Fairly inexpensive and awesome. Loved my tacos. Two of them were more than enough. My husband loved the menudo. Overall it was a great experience. The owner was lovely as we checked out. The overall decorations were unique and gave much entertainment reading all the different signs. It's nothing fancy but honestly that's all you need when it comes to good food.

    A little gem of an establishment with some of the best tasting authentic food. Very friendly staff, and owners are hands on. Ambience is very casual with nice music playing and truthful quotes all over the restaurant. Nice Houston decor all over. Seems everyone knows everyone here and you might meet important people. Many locals visit this restaurant even though it doesn't have much space but people don't mind sharing their tables with others. I ordered the guisado de puerco and it was really tender and delicious. Very rare to find a restaurant serving this dish tasting so authentic. It came with rice, beans, and two tortillas which were homemade. Your choice of corn or flour tortillas but you only get two. Chips were just ok, no salt, sauce was good but could be spicier. I really liked this place and truly recommend coming. Others in our party ordered the guisado de res, chile relleno and barbacoa tacos which also looked very good. Servings are plentiful. I will be back to try other options soon. I just loved it and am glad to have eaten here thanks to Pct. 2.

    I hate using the term "hole in the wall" because this little place is a hidden gem. My friend and I stopped by Thursday for lunch. She's a regular, it was my first time. The place was packed, no place to sit. The owner asked us if we would like to share a table with existing patrons and we said sure. On our way to the table, a booth became available so we just sat there. There are a few tables and booths. The decor is friendly, colorful with quirky signs. The music is playing softly. The conversations and banter between the wait staff and customers reminds me of eating amongst family, My friend raved about the food, so I was excited to try their dishes. We had chips and salsa and I was not impressed. The chips had absolutely no salt and the same thing goes for the salsa. I understand restaurants cater to different demographics, but a little salt goes a long way. It was no biggie, we just added salt to our liking. I ordered the carne guisada plate, served with beans, rice and two tortillas (3 would be better) and she had the asado de puerco, also served with beans and rice. We did not wait much and our dishes were brought to the table. The beans were great, the rice was great but the star of the show was indeed the carne guisada. The meat was so tender, moist with a rich and flavorful rue. I ordered mixed tortillas with my order and was disappointed to know it was only two. The corn tortilla was not the best, and the flour tortilla was ok. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and need to come back to try the barbacoa and menudo which I hear are delicious.
