Food here is like homemade 😋. Their birria tacos with consomè are absolutely delicious. Shrimp tostadas are excellent as well. The taco combos are delicious and tasty. You can order your tripita or molleja to your liking crunchy, termino medio and if you dine in, you get a small fideo soup while your order comes out. Their natural flavored waters are delicious as well. If you love authentic Mexican food, this hole in the wall will never disappoint.

The BEST Birria Quesadillas in town! Very tasty and delicious, every single time-never misses. And the agua de pepino is always fantastic! I cannot find the taste and quality in Houston like they do it here. I recommend this place I all my Houston friends and family when they visit Loredo! This place is a hidden gem!

It’s good overall 7 out of ten. No tacos Asada aren’t Asada let’s get that straight now the way that’s brisket really bugs me when they call it some thing and order it and it’s not that. The tacos Al pastor are not quite there but it’s still pretty good. The birria is a little greasy but good. BUT THE TRIPA IS FIRE!!!!!! I little bit of a taco expert not trying to brag/boast but I love tacos and these three for tacos are on point must try must have. Keep an eye out for the salsas they got a kick but still good.
