This place is always a hit on Sunday for me especially about a night out , the pozole is always fresh and served hot well portioned and comes with all the fixing I get the smaller one because I like to sneak in a taco or two of something else this time I got the quesabirria I didn’t like so much the tortilla broke before I even dipped it in the cosome de chivo everything came out of the taco I had to scoop it with chips. The micheladas are so good 😊 great taste just the right spice n Tajín, the salsa bar has good plenty of different salsas to try. The table sauce that come with the chip they serve is good to. I love their shrimp tostada as well. The servers are always around and don’t minding helping each other out with there tables , I will be going back !!!!

The Menudo doesn't come with hominy it's just the meat, we had to order hominy on the side. The menudo here has a very strong cow order which if you know anything about menudo that means it hasn't been cleaned properly. Attached is a picture of the fat, cartridge and nasty bits. Wost menudo ever. Most likely won't ever return here. It gets one star because the chips and salsa were good. And overpriced.

My Dad recommended me this restaurant and I see why ! Let me start off by saying i’m from The Valley, if you don’t know where it is we are 30 mins from Mexico. It’s been hard to find some authentic tasting Mexican food since moving over here and this really reminds me of home 🤍 AMAZING pozole. Only downside I can say I had was when i ordered salsa for my chips they gave me two little salsa containers which I understand bc I ordered later at night. Other than that very exceptional service!!! 🥰 Will definitely be a regular.

Stopped in here in a lark (literally was walking by and it smelled good), really enjoyed the barbacoa (cabrito) and egg+nopales tacos and quick+friendly service.

This place used to be better and I mean in customer service better. I don't know if they're in a hurry or they just get pressured to get you out of there quickly but the server forgot to take some items to the table, she forgot to take a beer. She only came back once to check on us, and that's because she knew she forgot one of our plates. The food is good, not the best but good enough to stop by if your close by only. I would not drive out to eat here. There are better places to go.

Great salsa and chips to start with. The menu was very simple but food was nothing but amazing. The service was fast and attentive. If you are in the area and need a quick bite to eat I would recommend here for some good Mexican food.

Of all of the places we visited during our weekend in Austin, this was the worst. We stopped here on Sunday for street tacos. We ordered three tacos each. When I went to order, I had to repeat myself no less than six times because the waitress didn't understand what I wanted. While I appreciate there may have been a language barrier, I was pointing to the items on the menu when ordering. The menu was written completely in English. (While I don't speak Spanish, I know enough that if the menu had the items listed in Spanish, I would have been able to read them and order them in Spanish). The tacos were decent, but nothing special. I wasn't a huge fan of the Pork Skin taco, but from what I saw, there was nothing wrong with it. The other two tacos I ordered were just fine, and given that they were $3 each, I can't complain. My sister was only able to eat one of the three tacos she ordered, but she admits that it was a texture thing and isn't going to blame the restaurant for that. After we finished eating, we sat and waited for our check. The waitress came by to check on us and we told her we were done. She walked away. 20 minutes later, she came by to check on us again. We told her we were done, and she walked away a second time. In all, we were there for more than an hour despite it only taking about 20 minutes to order, receive, and eat our food. When we got the check, it was written so sloppily that we could not read the total. We asked and were told it was $19 and change. (Based on Texas sales tax rates, it should have come out to $19.13) We asked for it to be put on two separate cards. We were each charged $10. While it was only a $0.87 overcharge, we were still overcharged for our meals. Rounding up our bill without disclosing it may be considered illegal. (Typically, rounding is used in other countries when paying cash due to coin shortages or not wanting to deal with returning pennies; credit card purchases are still exact). There were no signs stating that there was a $10 minimum for credit card transactions. While we hope to visit the Austin area again, we will not be returning to this place. In response to the restaurant's refusal to refund us the money we were overcharged, we have contacted our banks to dispute the transaction.
