Let’s begin at the beginning. I needed to use the restroom & wash my hands. Yes it was small but immaculately clean & stocked. Menu has a huge variety of selections. I started with a small Chile con queso. Enough for 2 people easily. DELICIOUS!!!! Chips were whole and not broken into little pieces and fragments & the salsa was so fresh!! Unbelievable. I decided to order a La carte since I hadn’t been to this restaurant in almost 40 years. It was clean and the service was awesome.
I ordered a beef crispy taco and it was FILLED with ground beef. I also ordered a side of refried beans. Meh… good but not great. I had 2 Chiles Toreados. I asked for Serrano peppers instead of jalapenos and received them. HOT!!! HOT!!!!!
Wonderful! I also had a tamale which was very nice and a side order of guacamole which was a little bit of a disappointment. I’m going back next week and I will have pictures for you! A La Carte was definitely more expensive but I wanted to try what I wanted to try. Plus I got 2 whole meals out of it so $26 total was reasonable. All in all, very very good!
Ok… I’m going to change my review. I went again today with a friend. This time I ordered Enchiladas with Mole. The mole sauce was too watered down. Almost no flavor. I ordered one chicken enchilada, one cheese and one spinach…NO to the spinach. Gag me.
All positives above remain.

Even though this place is open 24/7, it is mostly popular as a late night spot. The food is average, the atmosphere is very basic, but the staff are super nice & friendly. 💕

First, let me say the food was phenomenal. I’m biased to a good hole in the wall & this one did not disappoint. Everyone spoke & was friendly as soon as we walked in. Our waitress was so kind & walked us through the menu while keeping our glasses full. None of us were super hungry, so we kept it simple and ordered street tacos with beans & rice. And y’all they cooked our food with love. The chips are homemade and crispy while the salsa is flavorful with a little kick at the end. For a group to come in not really hungry & leave with 3 empty plates. lol We’ll definitely be back!

Mexican nachos are a must try I did add on lettuce and rice to mine but overall awesome nachos. The service was great. Drinks were refilled without asking. The restrooms are a little weird the women are upstairs the men's you have to go downstairs and they are small. So not really handicap accessible.

The best caldo de res! 100% authentic. My husband and I went to go eat caldo in a 100 degree weather! That’s how good it was. And it also comes with corn tortillas which were delicious. I noticed this caldo had chayote which is a squash and is a potent vegetable and rich in antioxidants which helps to kill cancer. The staff was very nice and personable. This restaurant has been open since the 70s! We will definitely come back.

delicious authentic texmex food. Loved that there’s also a jukebox where you can select music and play throughout the restaurant

What a gem of a late-night spot! The bars may close at 2, but swing by here during the next two hours for some of the heartiest (and cheapest) drunk food in town. Additionally, the staff are incredibly accommodating, and there are many of them on shift even at the latest hours. You can truly tell this is a family-owned business with heart. My friend and I mutually agreed *this* is where going every time we're hungry after the bars! If you're getting bored eating at the same taco truck over and over during your Montrose bar hop, swing by here; you will not be disappointed and will probably save a few bucks, too.

Chicken Flautas were great! Everyone is friendly. Homemade, Fresh food. Burritos are huge. Salsa is nice & spicy. Would definitely recommend.

Had the #45 Plato Estilo San Luis and two fajita one-taco in separate orders - one chicken and one beef. The #45 was large, had ample steak, covered with lots of mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, cheese. Good amount of refried beans and Mexican rice. Tasted very good - beef was tender. A measly bit of lettuce and a slice of tomato. Both tacos had substantial amount of meat, but since it was packed in one box, they only gave one thin quarter slice of tomato and very small amount of lettuce - definitely an oversight. Order automatically came with free chips and be a very spicy salsa that's bottle-and-sell worthy.

Really good food!!! Came in here for a late snack and was pleasantly surprised at their extensive margarita/drink menu and their food was so delicious! Torta loca was 🤤 perfection! The fajitas smelled great too this place is good for some authentic Mexican food all times of the day! So glad we found this place!

This is a good place to stop for lunch. I ordered the Lunch Combination Plate and everything was good, but the enchiladas were what really stood out. Whatever sauce they use there is incredible. Prices and service were great.
Alejandra Crespo
Great place to eat late night. Friendly service, inexpensive, large portions and GOOD! Cannot beat that kind of restaurant. I come often and grab the veggie soup with a side of rice. The bacon nachos are bomb and did I mention, drinks are made delicious here! Cannot go wrong if you stop by here and try the dishes of influenced by Central Mexico!

FRESH! FRESH! FRESH!
That word describes everything on the menu! It's a bit of a hole in the wall just north of the medical district. But oh my word was this place good!
The salsa brought with the chips tasted like they blended it seconds before delivery. Every ingredient had a flavor like it was plucked from a garden that morning.
Wife ordered the Deluxe Breakfast plate, which came with two strips of Fajitas. Beef Fajitas so tender, and so flavorful, I'd swear they were veal.
I ordered the Chilaquiles with shredded chicken and sour cream. The chips were the perfect texture for the meal. Not soggy like they were stewed with the chicken for 15min, or crunchy like they were thrown in at the last minute. This dish was prepared by someone who has been making it for decades and knows every thing there is to know to optimize the experience.
When the bill came, it wasn't a blow to the bank at all. We both ordered the most expensive items on the menu, two drinks, and the total bill was under $28.
If in Houston, by the medical district or museum reach, please find this restaurant and treat yourself to an amazing meal.

This restaurant was so good we were just driving by and stopped. So glad we did it was delish and the margaritas on point. It was National Margarita Day, Taco Tuesday and 2/22/22 I was TWOPLEASED 🎉
I'll be back probably for the chips salsa and queso which was my favorite but it really was all good. I'm just a Texas Gal who lives off chips and salsa and they get my vote 😁

Great place for late night Tex-Mex

1st of all to Mario Guttierrez who rated 1Star. Why are all the events you described labeled White woman, Black man, Mexican man, white man? Lol this is Houston! I thought we were ALL just "People" here.
Anyway I've been patronizing this place since the 80s and although food quality has roller coastered over the years my most recent visit was great. Sometimes the salsa is overspiced making it TOO hot to actually enjoy it but it was full of tomatoes peppers and other ingredients which made it thick and tasty. My heat tolerance is very high since I eat a lot of spicy foods but on that night it was so hot it numbed my taste buds for everything else.
Tried the chimichanga and it was super great. So was my waitress that night who checked on me regularly to make sure I had everything I wanted and that I was satisfied with my food.

I love this place, solid service, and great food, is reasonably priced, and is open practically around the clock. It's a Houston treasure that's been here since I can remember - at least 25 years. I highly recommend.
