This little neighborhood (Mexican) restaurant was the biggest little surprise of the month. I went in for lunch on a recommendation to try the chicken fried steak and WOW! I never would have thought this "bigger inside than it looks outside" place would even offer a CFS... then you realize it is priced at under $10 and comes with two sides! Great value for the meal.The Chicken Fried Steak was extremely tender and able to be cut with a fork. There was a good breading-to-steak ratio, and it was a good size too. I ordered the CFS with mashed potatoes and green beans. The mashed potatoes were very good and worth mentioning.The service was very friendly and the dining room was almost completely full. This would explain the lack of parking requiring having to park downthe street.I don't find myself in this neighborhood often, but next time I do, I'll definitely think about stopping in again.

It's my 1st time here. The place was packed. Parking can be challenging. Service was not on target. The server seemed to have forgotten to place our order and had us wait almost 40 minutes, while everyone around us was getting prompt service. The food was a bit bland for my taste. It's great for people with high blood pressure, tho. It's low in sodium. Good size portions. The Wednesday special is advertised at $5.99 with free tea, but it's actually $7. My overall experience wasn't pleasant. I don't see myself coming back again. Come check them out for yourself.

Its ok definitely not in the top 20 best in SATX. Fajita plate. Huevo ala mex, pancakes with bacon and eggs and a bean and cheese three sweet teas and a lemonade was right around $45 but again just ok. The sweet tea and lemonade were pretty good though. Also if you walk in the place con el nopal en la frente and your smoking hot Irish wife expect the staff to stare and chisme like no other here! But hey its raza its expected que no?

Discovering this hidden gem has been a game-changer for our work lunches! Not only is the food incredibly delicious, but it's also super affordable. The fact that they offer complimentary tea is the cherry on top. In today's economy, finding a spot like this is a real treasure. It's safe to say this has become our go-to spot for weekday work lunches. Highly recommend!

great service, and food! one of my favorite places in the area since i moved into the area! always consistent! never fails, great prices as well!

Love this place! The Food, Service are Awesome! One of the Deaf Groups I belong too meets here on Fridays. Homemade Corn tortilla's. Food is always Fresh!

Like this place good prices an waitress are nice and very helpful. Also like that's it's walking distance to my house.

Always a good place to get your taco fix! Love this place taken my parents a couple times and they love it too. Good food, good tortillas, good coffee, nice service too.

The daily lunch specials here are amazing. We came here on a Friday where the lunch specials were chicken strips, flautas, or fish for $5.99. I went with the chicken strips and it came with three HUGE strips, French fries, and a large tea. The chicken was hot And fried nicely- it didn't have an overly oily flavor and tasted fresh. The gravy was a little bland so I added some pepper and it kicked it up a notch. You seat yourself for lunch- we were here before 1130 and most of the tables were already filled up. This place is super busy! And with the lunch specials they offer I can see why. We waited a good bit to have our drink order taken, but they were obviously busy and not intentionally being neglectful so it wasn't an issue. The food came out quickly. I definitely recommend coming for lunch during the week!

Food is on point. Hot and Fresh. Service is Friendly and they are on top of refilling your drink.
