“We tried: - horchata (a bit sour) - al pastor tortas (love it, good crunch on the outside, creamy and filled with delicious al pastor on the inside) - bistec a la mexicana (like it, flavorful cube steak in tomato sauce with rice, bean, and tortilla) It’s affordable with great portion and flavors”

What Diners Are Saying
Diners loved
Some noted
Didn’t like that my chips were old n not fresh until I asked for another batch.
Came for the fried ice cream and it was not fried.
The first time going here was a very bad experience getting served raw meat chicken and the steak in burritos and sour veggies and old stale beans made me sick I had to stop eating the food.

“I love this place.”
I love this place. My friend and I had dinner at this place. I ordered the chicken tampiqueña and my friend the carne asada tampiqueña. My friend said that it was the first tampiqueña with soft and well cooked meat he ever had. The enmolada tasted very good, and I ordered a pineapple agua fresca it was deliciously fresh. And as dessert, we had nueve frita. The customer service is excellent. The food prices are good. I think this is my new favorite place!

The crew is always top notch, they explain to you the menu and make sure you under what you’re buying. I come here often since it’s in my neighborhood. Their prices are reasonable and the quality of their food is great, from presentation to the mouth😂❤️😋

Worth the wait! The food is fantastic and the staff is great. Heads up, they do not serve alcohol and they do not have a changing table.

“I had some amazing food.”
I had some amazing food! We got the huarache and the chiles rellenos and both were delicious. We stopped by at random and we're very glad we did! The food reminded me of my mom's cooking! And the agua fresca and horchata were fantastic too.

What a great find! The food was very tasty and a great value. The eating area was relaxing and looked great. We weren't sure where we would park, but easily found a spot on the street.

“Great place for authentic Mexican food.”
Great place for authentic Mexican food. Chilaquiles and Chocomilk are the best combination.

“Came back from the Museum of Science and Industry, and came upon this restaurant 5 min away.”
Came back from the Museum of Science and Industry, and came upon this restaurant 5 min away. Very delicious Mexican food at a great price. Service was a bit slow since there was only one person, but that didn't matter because of how delicious the food was. Complimentary home made tortilla chips and spicy salsa de molcajete were very good. I suggest you try their Bistec A La Mexicanna as the chopped grilled steak is seasoned very well. Handmade tortilla was also very good.
