This was my mother and my special place. I've been coming here since 1982, eating The Houston all this time. I remember when "Mama" ran this place and they continue to honor her recipes today.

Been coming here since I was young and I love it. Best salsa and queso I've had!! super quick too so it's my go to lunch option.

This is the closest to Texas Mexican food i have found and I'm in love. I could eat here every day and never get tired. It is so good but if you are used to white cheese and the canned red enchilada sauce served at other restaurants then you might be disappointed. This is the real deal. I wish i could give it 10 stars ***update*** went back today and i got pics. I had the Corpus Christi and my fiancée had the chicken fajita nachos. Still the best Mexican restaurant around. And i travel between three states (Louisiana, Mississippi and. Alabama).

I'm surprised this restaurant has such low reviews. In my opinion, this is the best Mexican food on the West Bank. Yes, many of the dishes are Americanized - but most Mexican restaurants in general are Americanized. The food here is simple yet good. I like the cozy atmosphere. Monday through Friday they have a $7.99 lunch special that you can't beat. I will say that I do not particularly care for their guacamole; it's too creamy. The service is always impeccable - friendly and attentive! I like the margaritas but if you are searching for something very boozy then go elsewhere. I like the fact that they are a little weak because it allows me to enjoy one at lunch without getting sleepy. Some of my favorite dishes are the fajita chicken taco salad, tacos or tostadas.

I find it hard to believe I didnt write a review for this place. I love it dearly. It is a non assuming looking food heaven. I really love mexican food and cozy nook places to eat in and this is both. My wife and Istumbled across it 10 years ago in almost a dare because we both have always seen this place but never had the nerve to walk into it since it was so small and had blacked out windows. Huge mistake ...we missed out on some serious muching over them scared years. Nothing to be frightened about other than busting your pants when you leave. This is great stuff. The staff are really friendly too and are fantastic with kids. If she is working there, Maria is the one to have. She is awesome and like family. Makes the experience so warm and inviting. This is not Taco Bell type mexican food, pretty real if you ask me. Chorizo and eggs...mmm chili rennenos...what?!?! Mmmm And salsa in a squeeze bottle...genius. Watch out though, its thick and can clog in the tip and you will get a BIG squirt hehehe Chimichangas is of the shredded beef type, a must! The tacos, its the hard shell type, greasy as all get out and super tasty!! Tamales...gotta try them. Parking is tough but worst case you park across the street by Home Depot and cross Stumpf holding hands for your dear life. Not as easy when leaving when your tummy is fully loaded.
