Egg and Cheese with Hashbrowns

We didn't order much, but what we did have was good! They were very accommodating and we really enjoyed the vibe of this cafe.

Just googled breakfast while visiting the east side and this place pops up with 4.6 on google..4.5 on yelp so had to stop. The outside will not bring you inside...but go in!!! The welcome coming in and the service was amazing!!! She explained the menu items and you can tell she loves her job. The food Plates are huge!!! Our favorites were the pancake, omelet and chicken fried chicken. Definitely have to return to this hidden gem!

Breakfast medley

We were in the area looking for a place to have brunch and found this cafe. Upon entering there we when did it we should sit ourselves or wait. Someone came along after to sit us. They were just finishing with a small buffet style breakfast on the far end of the cafe. We had just missed it. Our waitress was helpful and there was a descent amount of people sitting having breakfast. We had coffees, pancakes and eggs. The food didn't take too long and the food came out at a good temperature. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was nice.

Great service and attitudes from all the staff. Very friendly. Great hot coffee with fresh hot foods. Plenty of choices are available for breakfast and or lunch. Large variety of steam table items available at a decent price. Many nearby employees come eat here. Ambience is very casual. You can tell who all the regulars are and it seems everyone knows each other. Nobody is rushed and you can enjoy your meal. I recommend trying it out.

Juevos Ranchero plate 8/10 Carne Guisada 8/10…read moreBeef fajita 8/10 Homemade flour tortillas 10/10 Ive been working in the area for weeks now and every morning that o pass by, it is always packed. They have a separate parking lot across the street and on multiple occasions, cars are driving around and out to find parking. Everything I had was great. Everything I expected and more. The beef fajitas are chopped BUT full of flavor. Carne Guisada was a bit cold, so much so that I didn't even melt my cheese. Still very tender and lots of flavor. Eggs, bacon, beans and papa ranchers were all great. The homemade flour tortillas will keep me coming back! No issues with service. Place had a few open tables when I arrived. There were also several open parking spots. I can only imagine how stressful it would be with customers waiting for a table

Hace 8 años escribí una reseña sobre este lugar, y me entristece ver que la atención al cliente por…read moreparte de los dueños sigue sin mejorar. Situación: Pedí mis tacos con frijoles, pero me los trajeron sin ellos. Le comenté amablemente al mesero que se le habían olvidado, y me ofreció llevarse los tacos o traer los frijoles aparte. Como ya había empezado a comer, le dije que estaba bien y que solo los trajera. Al final me cobraron $3.87 por los frijoles. Cuando le señalé el cobro a la cajera, me respondió con mala actitud, y tanto ella como el mesero empezaron a discutir conmigo como si fuera mi error. Insistieron en que tenían que cobrarme porque me sirvieron los frijoles en un plato. Fue una experiencia muy desagradable. Sé que tienen una clientela fiel y quizá por eso no les importe, pero aun así -- revisen bien su recibo y sean muy claros al ordenar, porque si algo sale mal, tratarán de echarles la culpa. I actually wrote a review about this place 8 years ago, and it's sad to see that customer service from the owners still hasn't improved. Situation: I asked for beans on my tacos, but they came without them. I politely told the server he had forgotten the beans, and he offered to either take the tacos back or bring the beans separately. Since I had already started eating, I told him it was fine and to just bring them. Long story short, they ended up charging me $3.87 for the beans. When I pointed it out to the cashier, she gave me attitude, and both she and the server started arguing with me as if it was my mistake. They kept insisting they had to charge me because they served the beans on a plate. It was such an unpleasant experience. I know they have a strong client base, and maybe that's why they don't care, but still -- check your receipt carefully and make sure to be extra clear with your order, because if something goes wrong, they'll try to blame you.

I do think this is my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Houston. The parking lot was full so we…read moreknew it was great tasting! BUT, to our surprise we did not wait for a table. The service is outstanding. We never wanted for anything. Admittedly, we speak enough Spanish to get by, but they speak English too. Andrea was our server. She was excellent. Accurate with our order and attentive to our requests. I love the old school feel as for roughly 1 hour on Friday night they had mariachis. They sounded terrific! The most outstanding thing of all was the taste of their food. I have lived in Texas for 60 years, SO I KNOW TEX-MEX! We were over off of I-10 and stopped in this place. I have eaten at more TexMex restaurants than I am afraid to admit. Don Rey on I-10 had the best Mexican food I have ever eaten in this city. First of all, their green sauce and red salsa were outstanding. It was all I could do not to fill up on chips and green sauce. The chips are "old school" DELICIOUS! I usually get the combination plate, so I can only comment on crispy tacos, tostadas and cheese enchiladas. They put plenty of cheese on everything, the sauces are so sabroso (tasty) and the meat on the taco and tostada was plentiful and delicious. I had fajita beef. Lots of lettuce and tomato and I ordered extra onion. My brother had a delicious margarita. I did not drink as I wanted to eat my food. As it turned out, there was so much food that I took 1/2 my plate home! BTW, the leftovers were just as good today! Please stop by this place! It really was delicious and reasonably priced. It is what I consider the best if not some of the best Mexican in all of Houston!

Food was just ok. Reviews were off! Why use that fabuloso crap next to me when im eating? IDGAF…read morethat yall are close to closing. I don't need that smell all up and around me trying to eat. A big let down!! Consider this a zero star rating.
