    Menu: Soups, Seafood and Breakfast
    Gerardo H.

    The restaurant-front is quite not visible when driving by the location which is next to a car wash, but their food options have not disappointed me with any food plate selections, I can taste the food freshness and quality. The staff has always been friendly and attentive to the table and keep my cafe de olla cup full. Place is neat with a bit of decorations, but a nice vibe.

    Wonderful little Mexican spot in the Forest Hill/Everman area. We popped in for lunch during off hours. The service was great as was their attention to detail. Chips come with red and green sauces as well as some refried beans for dipping. The menu is extensive and has breakfast items as well as standards (enchiladas, flautas) , soups and specialty items (grilled and mole type dishes). Everything was freshly prepared and flavorful. I got a skirt steak w cheese enchiladas and enjoyed everything in my plate.

    Dope Mexican food spot. Excellent food, (good quality and taste) the service is super great here too. The menu has a lot of choices. ...The menudo, caldos , sopes and gorditas are top notch. There's a lil bar at the back. Plenty searing. (Botha and tables) I def recommend this place.

    Hidden gem! I can't believe this place has been here almost 3 years and I'm just now finding out about it. The restaurant is decorated so cute and there were fresh flowers on every table. Everything looked brand new. They have a small bar in the back. But it's all about the food. They have a huge menu including fajitas and a molcajete which I'll have to try next time cause they're a favorite of mine. But tonight I opted for a ceviche tostada which was loaded with citrusy fish and avocado and huaraches with pork. Both were so flavorful and fresh. And the owners were so friendly. Can't wait to come back!

    Excellently!!! The atmosphere was very cozy. Louis was very polite from the greeting to taking our orders and offering suggestions. The food was excellent !

    Enchiladas Verdes

    Food was excellent and servers very attentive. We arrived at lunch time to a packed restaurant which indicated how good it would be. We will definitely go back.

    Food was so good I have no complaints the place was clean and the service was good this place really deserves to be recognized

    Chips & salsa

    Very cute & clean restaurant! The service was great as was the food. Will definitely come again when in the area!

They were stuffed with tender meat and were not excessively greasy. They come with onion and cilantro and three different salsas. Kind of embarrassed to say I ate it all but I couldn't help it.

Service was friendly although they gave my plate to the person next to me, they went back and brought me my food fairly quickly. The horchata was also very good.

It's easily our favorite place for anything birria. From the birria pizza to the tacos, everything is incredible. The dipping consomé is seriously to die for, and the meat is cooked to absolute perfection. The service is great, and the Chicano art painted throughout the restaurant gives the whole place such a cool, authentic vibe. We always share the combo because you get a little bit of everything, and trust me, it will definitely fill you up. Seriously, get it. This is our number one taco spot in DFW, and after your first visit, it might be yours too.

They have pickleball courts and a large seating area, part indoors and part outdoors. Because of that, there were an overwhelming number of flies that we had to fight off while eating indoors.

The food was good and made to order. I also got a mangonada that was basically a mango-flavored slushie that tasted like it had been sitting in the freezer all day. I don't know that I disliked this place, but I am not in a hurry to go back. It was the flies for me.
