Great food, atmosphere, and service. The Serrano green sauce was spectacular. Perfect texture and flavor, and the chips were too good. The fajita torta I ordered was bigger than I could finish, and it was delicious! Thank you Olga!

★★★★★ 5.0 Shira Johnson · Feb 2026

A true Galena Park gem that's been around since 1970! The cheese enchiladas and tacos are as authentic as it gets — you can tell every dish is made with care and family recipes that haven't changed in decades. Great portions for the price and the hot sauce is unlike anything else.

Restaurant Review: A Warm Spot for Tex Mex Lovers, but Not My Taste If you’re a fan of Tex Mex, you might enjoy this cozy little spot. The atmosphere is inviting, with warm hospitality from the lady who runs the place, making you feel right at home. The walls are decorated with nice photos that add to the charm. However, as someone who isn’t a fan of overly Americanized Mexican food, I found the food lacking. I ordered a plate of nachos, and my friend had tacos, but neither dish impressed me. It felt more catered to those who enjoy the Tex Mex fusion rather than traditional flavors. If you love Tex Mex, this place may hit the mark for you. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t my taste.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ranch Boss · Nov 2023

This place has been around forever! The first time I ate here was the mid 70s. They've been through a few different owners, but it's about the same as it ever was. I think they need to go up on their prices. I don't know how they're paying their bills with such cheap prices. I don't live in the area anymore so it was a drive to go over there.no regrets. Local people should support one of the few restaurants they have in town.
