Trinidad has owned it for years, and he and his staff do a really good job. Their prices are pretty cheap compared to other places in town, yet the food is fantastic.

Excellent service. My cactus and eggs were delicious. I cook this at home but not on this level. The beans and potatoes were also on point. Ask them for their house-made green or red salsas - they are rightfully proud of them. The green is the spicier of the two. The decor is bare bones, and authentic. Come here for the excellent food and wonderful service.

We walked in and there was only one table empty. I noticed it was a little dirty, but there was a wet rag on the table, so I picked it up and wiped the table and benches. We were eating our meal and my husband said "There is a wet towel on that table, but another one fell on the floor". So, we sat there waiting on the ticket and the waitress sure did pick it up off the floor and wiped the table with the same dirty rag. I'm glad i had finished my meal, but I, for 1, will not go back there. The floor was very dirty.

Margaritas and an appetizer. We got our margaritas at 5:15 ($8 ea) and the Guac/Queso combo ($14) at 5:17. Eric was definitely on the ball. The chicharrones were still snapping and popping and sizzling when they arrived. Hot, fresh, crispy and delicious. We also ordered a bowl of soup and a cup of Caballero beans. Eric gave us 7 minutes to enjoy the app before bringing it out. We finished our margaritas and cashed out around 5:40. Eric had gotten another table, so I felt better knowing that we weren't going to be his only tip. Appetizers for 2: $47

I knew I needed to have a homemade tortilla, so I got a single brisket taco. The tortilla was soft and squishy, the brisket properly fatty, well seasoned, and it was topped with cheddar cheese, grilled onions & pickled jalapeños. I had a side of their caballero beans, which reminded me of my mamaw's pinto beans, cooked until soft and slightly thickened. It was tasty enough I forgot to take a picture until almost done! Nice service and a really good atmosphere. I'd be happy to come back.
