Location: New to the area & found this place on yelp! Pictures and menu looked good so I had to go…read more Parking is a little difficult and very limited as it is a small gravel lot. Atmosphere: Extremely authentic hispanic cuisine vibe, you pick your own drink from the fridges, order the food off the menu above the register that stretches down, sit down & wait for the food to come out. Food: I ordered 2 steak, 2 tripe, 2 tongue tacos, along with a beer & pineapple soda. Chip and salsa were complimentary along with a sauces & sides bar to your liking but the sauces weren't labeled so I didn't know what was what & had to gamble on a few. The food was made right there and fresh! Well seasoned but felt a little greasy and heavy. Overall: Enjoyed it a lot! Service was a quick to bring out my food and help but took a while to pay as lot of people were kind of waiting on one register that took a while to ring people up (unclear orders?) May try out some places to compare but this does make me have high expectations.

Enchiladas one red pork 1 cheese with beans and rice excellent! Fresh made guacamole was great also!

We ordered a queso for the table. The chips were generic but still alright, Queso was typical but tasty nonetheless. I ordered chicken quesadillas which were very good! I'd probably drive to Beaumont just for those alone! The service was friendly but I ordered water three times and never received it. It wasn't crowded yet the server did seem somewhat overwhelmed with the few larger tables she did have, so I didn't ask again. The atmosphere is that of a typical Mexican restaurant but does seem very clean from my perspective. I'd go again at least for a to-go order or lunch again as it wasn't overly crowded. We were there around 2 pm ish though so it may be busier during actual lunch hour.
