We were in from Connecticut and just wanted some good food. Wife googles and we arrived here. Super nice staff! Very welcoming. Ordered and quickly received our food. My barbacoa was Awesome! The wife did the small taco plate and pinto beans....all super good. We travel around a lot...California, New Mexico, Arizona...even Denmark and more places over seas lol... this food was fantastic and the owners should be super proud of that and their staff. Thank you!!

The food is amazing. We were a party of six and we all agreed - BBQoa, chilaquiles, refined beans, country guisado. The place is small but the food is big time delicious. Our server was a winner too :-) I left nothing on my plate —-

I’ve been going to this Taqueria since 2018 and it’s my go to spot. I refuse to go to any other the Taqueria. The flavor in their food is amazing. My go to is a bean, cheese and bacon taco, and yes, I want hot sauce always. The lady at the drive-through window is always the sweetest and the service is quick. Another good dish would be there cheese enchiladas packed with flavor. So grateful to live down the street from this amazing spot. I will see you very soon.

Our office manager brought us each a barbacoa taco from there. It was delicious! It was still piping hot when it got back to the office. I had to know the name of the place where she got them. She said by HEB on Kostoryz. So there I go on google maps to find yall! I will be going back!

I go every Wednesday for the pozole. It is the best in town and put the homemade Habana sauce very good. They only make it on Wednesdays so it is always fresh.
