There wasn’t a host at the stand so my friend and I had to wait for a while and finally walked to the bar area to get seated. So we weren’t off to a great start, however our server was very attentive and kind. I ordered the Stuffed Jalapeños as an appetizer and WOW, they were so good and had great flavor 9/10! For entree I ordered the Beef Quesadilla’s and overall they were fine, but nothing special 7.5/10. I don’t think I’d go back, but overall it was an okay experience.

Food was delicious. Loved the street tacos and rice. However, service was terrible. I’m sure not every waiter/waitress here is as bad as ours was, but he was not good at all. Forgot to bring more chips/sauces, barely got any drink refills, messed up tickets, and overall just a sassy attitude the entire time. And no, they were not busy at all & we were his only table.
The worst part about my experience was the $3.25 I was charged for cheese! The menu said “add queso fresco +.75¢” after I got my meal I asked him, “could I actually add the queso fresco?” He said okay and brought me out a bowl with some. When I received my ticket and asked why I was charged $3.25 he informed me that they apparently cannot go back and add the queso fresco after I’ve already ordered so he ‘had to give me the whole bowl of it for $3.25.’ This is obviously something I would have wanted to know before ordering because I would NOT have paid that much for a little bit of cheese on my tacos.
We also got charged $2-3 a piece for gratuity for 8 people!!!! My meal ended up being $22 for street tacos and a Dr Pepper.

We absolutely love the chicken enchiladas! The rice is cooked to perfection; fluffy, none of those hard pieces! Nice portion size, good value especially during lunch special. Staff is fast and friendly! Highly recommend!

We wanted to just share mango margaritas, only one was mango, still delicious. Very sweet server. We asked for queso twice but it came and my only complaint was that if you have 3 people at a table you give one half full cold tray of chips?
Guacamole was great! Salsa delicious.

Yall, ima keep it real. I ordered these nachos and this what they gave me. I always give places a second chance, maybe I ordered an unpopular dish. I ordered the flautas and I bite into a toothpick. Now common sense is to put it through the middle, yea, but this toothpick was laying in the actual flauta, like someone dropped it in and didn’t see it. The workers were amicable but the food and whoever is in the back is making it less desirable.

Food was good….dont be surprised to pay extra for things that traditionally come with the dish…upcharged for eggs (2 eggs $4) when we ordered chilaquiles, upcharge for bacon on a huevos rancheros plate.

This was my first time here and I will definitely be back. I only tried their cocktails and some of their appetizers and they were absolutely delicious. The customer service was also on point.
8/21/19 I visited this restaurant for the first time about a month ago and I gave it 5 stars because everything I had was delicious. I can’t believe how much it changed in a month. Service was very very slow and only 4 tables were occupied. The waitresses today are not the same I saw on my first visit and they couldn’t handle 4 tables. Most of the food we ordered was just ok, only the stuffed mushrooms were good, the cocktail drinks today were mediocre, nothing to do with the first visit. We were very disappointed.

Best beef fajita nachos in Houston. These are NOT the little pieces of fajita meat you get every where else . These are big square pieces of delicious tender beef fajita meat on each nacho. You’ll need a knife and fork to cut it in half. Their that big. You will not be disappointed.
