This is your typical hole in the wall, Mexican joint. It was jampacked with people, so I thought it must be good! I was craving a gordita, and this came up on a google search as I had just landed at Hobby Airport. I knew it was a good thing because it was packed with the locals. I was afraid that it would be very greasy, and it was a bit oily for me, but it didn't upset my stomach. It was really yummy. It is a restaurant/grocery store with only seating at the bar.

Gorditas, go hard! This place is really good & Aguas Frescas are the best . Only down side for me is too much grease/oil! They should change their cooking oil for something healthier !

let’s first start with the staff very sweet and welcoming. the restrooms were also very clean. the food was amazing. i will be making the drive again. i order the torta de fajita and a gordita de pastor and a agua fresca de limón. it’s amazing that they already bring you limes without you have to ask for them. now the salsas i wish i could drink them i love that they had a kick to them

Food was delicious! The scent of food was mouth watering and the food arrived quickly and service was spot on. The horchata was really good and not watered down or too sweet. you get your monies worth and portion sizes were just right. I recommend checking this place out, oh and they have a meat market/grocery store right next to it, convenient!

This place is the Mexican Benihana—but way better and way cheaper. You sit down, face the grill, and boom: tacos and gorditas cooked right in front of you while you sip on fresh aguas like royalty. If they don’t have your drink, just stroll to the grocery side, grab one, and come right back. Been around forever, and for good reason. It’s fast, it’s fire, and it’s a Houston legend .!
