Great place for hot plate style tacos. You can get them however you want . I get the the secret menu....chille relleno taco with beans and queso! There flour tortillas need a lil work but still great overall

Freshly hand-made tortillas with a variation of meats, poultry, eggs, you can have in your tacos. Great way to start your morning.

This place is really great !! The food was delicious and fresh. I saw a lady actually hand rolling the tortillas by hand no machine. The price for 2 tacos and a bottle water was 5.25.. Wow really impressive..I give this place 10 Stars..

This is definitely me and my kids to go taco please we come all the way from Cleveland, Texas, just to come eat here. Every time I come I leave out totally full with at least two or three tacos they’re fat they’re fresh and they’re just over all good.

These have to be some of the best tacos in Houston. They're also probably the only great breakfast taco taqueria open on Sundays at 6am! They have great service and plenty of seating. There's definitely enough parking there too. People are in and out pretty quickly. I think the dial is set on the hallmark channel. You just walk in and choose your selection on the steam table. They have a great selection too. So reasonably priced! We come here pretty often and enjoy it. I highly recommend it!
