This place feels like your mom is cooking in the kitchen…read more.. I've tried multiple plates...and each plate was delicious, well portioned, flavorful, delectable...I can go on. First thing you cannot beat the prices. Enchilada plates for $7... fajita plates for $8...The fajita is cooked to order when I went so it comes out with a nice sizzle. The refried beans have that nice sheen on it which means lard was used to cook them...making them so tasty. The rice looked fluffy...the veggies in them do not taste from frozen and the rice was perfectly cooked. They also make their own tortillas. I went with flour...and who doesn't love just mixing in everything all at once...little bit of fajita, some beans, some rice...that taco was a bite of heaven. The enchiladas are amazing...I had suizas with chicken inside. Most places use shredded chicken as a filler...but it's usually boiled or not seasoned. The lady used pollo guisado for the filling...so it went perfect with the salsa and the cheese. Bomba! And the menudo...I'll be honest, what threw me off was the texture of the menudo. It was very soft ...but I cannot complain. It had layers of flavors...the tripe was soft..no fat on it. It was clean and perfectly cooked...with lime on it, perfect dish for a Sunday morning. I will say...the place is small. But I won't knock it for that. Biggest table is only for 4 people and it'll be a tight fit...but hey, get it to go. Not a problem... And customer service is the best. I've stopped multiple times, and want to try all their dishes. I recommend the same for everyone.

They even have a "grandchildren's menu". I had the fajita Tampiqueña which was delicious and very filling. I couldn't eat it all. All the entrees are arranged on your plate to even look special. They serve real fruit, fresh aguas frescas as well as all the usual soft drinks, sparkling water, coffee, tea. The aguas frescas are very refreshing! The service was excellent: both friendly and efficient. This is not some fast food grab it and leave kind of place, but a classy and comfortable place for a real meal, food, fellowship with friends and family. I can't believe I'd not been here before. Highly recommended. This needs to go national!

They have a beautiful outdoor patio, but it was a bit warm for a Midwest girl on my visit. I had the El Plebe and Taco el Campo as well as a classic margarita. They also brought each of a small cup of beans when we sat down. That was comfort food in styrofoam. Service started out strong but as it got busier, our server was a little less attentive. No worries though--we enjoyed the crowd and chatting.

The foot-long quesadilla blended tender carne asada, two cheeses, onions, spices and other flavors into a buttery, crispy tortilla. Absolutely delicious! The frijoles were also fantastic- great blend of lime and broth. The service was impeccable. My waitress was knowledgeable of the menu, kind and attentive. I also loved the atmosphere, they had the World Cup playing and it added to the good vibes.

She is familiar with the McAllen location and likes it so we decided to give this place a shot. Only a little parking up front, but it looked like there was more around the back and side. The place was not packed so we were allowed to choose our seats. The dining area is not that large so I can see it getting packed during busy times. We both loved the big mural on one wall. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. They apparently will join tables for large groups and will also reserve such arrangements. I ordered a very tasty michelada that was supposed to be extra spicy, but to me it was just regular spicy. Still delicious though! Salsa for chips were both good. Red was tasty, but not spicy. The green was delicious and very spicy. I ordered the carne guisada plate with flour tortillas. The portions were huge and delicious. Very tender and delicious meat. Great rice and slightly salty but flavorful beans. My tortillas were so fluffy and took me back to my mom's better cooking days. My girlfriend ordered the beef chalupas and although they came without beef, she enjoyed them very much. The no beef error was not mentioned to the waitress so no idea how a fix would have gone. Prices are very good the food portions. The quality of the food was fresh and delicious. Overall a great little Mexican restaurant to try if in the area or if you don't want to travel to the McAllen location.
