This is a Traditional Mexican Lamb Barbeque restaurant, I saw it had a bunch of reviews on Google so I wanted to try it. I came here at 3 pm on a Friday afternoon and it was easy to find parking and seating. I ended up ordering the Lamb Barbecue Plate. For meat I chose a mixture of meat and rib. It included small lamb broth, tortillas, salsa, lime, cilantro and onion. I got a full order as well. Amazing flavor on the meat and the tortillas were nice and fresh. Overall solid place and price point!

Wow! Some of the best halal Mexican I’ve had in a while. The green sauce with chicken and lamb was to die for. Tried both green and red sauce enchiladas; green had more flavour and was more satisfying but both were delicious. So many menu items, you’ll find something you like. The salsas and pickled onions on the sides are very spicy so be careful. The service is friendly and great and prices are fair. Can’t wait to return!

Traditional Mexican Lamb Barbecue. The flavor is strong. I took the less risky path and chose rib meat (head and tripe were the other two options). The green sauce is incredibly spicy, I made the mistake of putting too much on at first. I could barely swallow my first bite, I’m an amateur! Overall, it was an interesting experience and the lamb was good.

We came in 30 min before closing. We were welcomed with a big smile and warmth. The service in this place is impeccable. Fast, warm and friendly. We were told that the lamb barbacoa is the best and they were not wrong. It was phenomenal. I loved that there was so many homemade salsas. SPICY HOT; authentic Mexican for sure!!!! We also ordered the tamarind agua Fresca- homemade with love. You can tell. It is not too sweet. I totally recommend!!
We also ordered the flan and let me tell you. My husband and I were blown away.
All of the items ordered came all together and within 10 min of ordering!!! Impressive!!

Best mexican food I ever had. Like poetry on my taste buds. Put mexican food on the east coast to shame. Inexpensive and delicious. Very nice server too. Blown away. Refried beans at alot of places is forgettable filler slop. This was rich in flavor. The lamb made me feel guilty eating it it tasted so good.

The place was not busy and we were immediately sat. They had the baseball game on which was nice. We had a full order of barbacoa which was really good, it came with a good sized side of consume and enough tortillas. I tried moronga for my first time, it’s definitely something different . My boyfriend tried other tacos but it didn’t seem as good as the barbacoa.

I was recently here for dinner when looking for some halal Mexican food. This came up on a search and was highly recommended and it absolutely did not disappoint. We tried multiple items including the lamb barbacoa, tacos, and quesadillas and were happy with all of them. The meat was very tender and the food in general was very flavourful. Highly recommended!

Best Barbacoa in town! I have been coming to Texcoco for many years, and they never disappoint. Their ingredients are always fresh, and the food is Amazing. My goal is to try everything on the menu, which I am close to already (Including the Chapulines) aka Grasshopper tacos. My favorite choices of meat are the cabeza and costilla.

Visited since my friends in town eat a halal food. They were very satisfied with the meat, they said it was tender and juicy. The salsa had a great spice level too, not for the faint of heart. I ordered the zucchini blossom and mushroom quesataco which were surprising so filling! Thanks Monica for great service.

The food was good, but the service was disappointing. I couldn’t help but notice that Mexican families seemed to be served more promptly, while others, including myself, were left waiting. I asked for a to-go box and was completely overlooked, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. It took about 15 minutes to get the check and another 15 minutes for someone to take my payment, despite my card being clearly visible on the table. Staff walked by multiple times without acknowledging it. Although the food was good I would not recommend coming here.
