For 2 years now (Aug 2013), weekly, great food and margaritas and the tres leches...kill me now and bury me in it! It isn't pretentious staff, especial Ester knows her bar, are warm and genuine.
Houston PressAugust 12, 2014This is a typical neighborhood taquería, open for terrific breakfasts and for late-night Mexican food fixes. Read more
Joann LimJune 29, 2014The bacon wrapped jalapeño should be on everyone's must try list if you haven't had it 😋😋😋
Walter MitchellOctober 1, 2016Margaritas are good. Salsa is good. Red is spicy. Love the stuffed jalapenos. Chili relleno was ordered and Betos plate.
Best Huevos Divorciados in town! Two eggs, topped with red & green salsa (separated). Get it with beef, for a full meal.
Norma HaMay 19, 2012Really yummy and very reasonably priced! Got the cheese enchiladas and the queso, so delicious! The margaritas were a little strong.
CultureMap Houston ManagerMarch 6, 2012Once a tiny restaurant, it expanded into a nearby florist shop and now takes up much of the strip center it's in. But the next door laundromat remains.
Glenn BarnettOctober 28Want TexMex this spot has some decent options, though it will not blow your socks off. The flavors are fair, but you could find better Tex-Mex experiences for a similar or even lower price elsewhere.
Service is great, food is AWESOME. The salsa verde is not spicy like other Tapatias so this is my go-to whenever I need my Mexican food fix!
Great mango/strawberry margaritas with 100 años tequila. The they are the bomb!
Wil JeudyFebruary 21, 2015Beef caldo is salty, but meaty & down-home good. Worth it, especially late night.
You can never go wrong with the margaritas here! Especially the mango!
M H DraperFebruary 2, 2013Eat traditional here: order a burrito, gordita or taco a la carte. You won't be disappointed.- Super cheap late night haunt for after the bar or club munchies.
- There appetizer sampler place is pretty good! Tasty nachos and their Parillada Mixta is good and filling!

Keith KiktaMarch 28, 2018Margaritas are good and service is fast. Food is pretty good but pretty standard TexMex.
Great TVs to watch soccer games/sport matches. Really nice bar area.- Really good breakfast: the Huevos Divorciados is wonderful.
- Christy LandesSeptember 27, 2014Good enough... But better places close. Their enchiladas are my favorite. Also good salsa but not great chips.
Leonard TrinidadDecember 16, 2013Not really a fan of cold salsa, but this one has a great kick and flavor!- Delicious Chicken Mole Enchiladas....waiting for mine now...to go!
I'm here every weekend for breakfast tacos. Best ones in the city.
There's sone bad tips about service from 8 months ago, but they must've cleaned house because lately, the service has been great!
Angela ScottMay 6, 2011Don't know about horrible service!!! Julie is the best waitress! She knows exactly what we want, and we have our food within 10 minutes of ordering. Super cheap too !
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Richard Knight, chef of Feast, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Chiles toreados. Read more- best house margaritas in town... great place for a cheap date
Don't listen to the bad reviews, this place is great! Come see Carlos!
l lMarch 19, 2011This place is good and cheap! The service is good- unless you're a overbearing drunk 2am looking for grub.
Well nice looking bar and restaurant but they are sucking in service here took 10min to get a waiter here for service and the manger is just looking around chatting with others.
