The roaches are real, and the nachos are cold. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice. But, I went there because I was hungry. I wish I had read the reviews before going here. It was my first time and definitely is now my last time. I really wanted to like this place.

Its a shame to travel so far and go to a place that recommends you arrive two hours before closing and they tell you that they cant serve you because they have a lot of orders, bad service, I really dont know why it has those stars. personally not I would give you not a single one! Sorry, of course this is the right place how could I be wrong if they were so rude

This was our first time here, randomly decided to go, the food was amazing the bartenders were all very nice making our drinks. They played music while we ate and it was a whole vibe. We got our pictures taken and were able to purchase them, the food was delicious 10/10 would definitely come again Dietary restrictions: I have a dairy allergy and they have vegan cheese!!

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! way too overpriced for not only un-authentic mexican food but the plating servings are RIDICULOUS! Not too mention the birria tacos are small and not good AT ALL! save ur money and go elsewhere that is sm more worth it cuz it aint here. if i could put 0 stars i would

Came in with my finance and our daughter, no one was there. So we sat down and an employee came in, I said hi to him and he didn t say a word to any of us. We sat there for a few minutes and still no one said a word and we were the ONLY people there. We tried to talk to them but got ignored then realized that they didn t even have rice or beans and after being ignored for around 5-10 minutes we just got up and walked out.

Was looking for a non tourist trap local place to eat after a cruise, so we stopped in for a quick bite to eat. The owner greeted us with a very friendly hello and explained the menu. We received our two orders of street tacos, chicken, steak, and pork, which were all delicious. They came with a small side of beans, which were incredible as well. Its possibly the best I have had. Its a small, what I would imagine take out since it was counter service and seating was limited to four, four-top tables. I believe our two orders of tacos which was four tacos each and three Mexican Cokes came to around 27.00. If I lived in the area, I would frequent this restaurant quite often.

Where to start: Atmosphere: outside from a night walking around downtown. They had the music playing. The outside looks so bright and festive on the dark streets. There was a lot of people out walking around as it was St. Patrick weekend. Looks like a great stop and they also have some outside seating. Inside is kinda small but its still plenty of space for small groups of 5 or 6. Food: we had the birria and comes with consume which I love. the tacos were tasty and good. We also had an order of regular tacos. They were also pretty good. Would I order from here again in Galveston. Absolutely. The food is amazing. I do recommend. We had 3 orders of birria. I asked prior to ordering if they came with beans and rice and was told no. it came with consume, which was delicious. We also had an order of tacos and 2 drinks. I cant remember the total because I paid cash and could get a receipt but I did get a receipt for the 2 drinks and it was $7 and some change. Service: the guy working the counter is not very friendly. When asking questions about the menu he seemed annoyed. He also got upset when I asked for my receipt. Started turning the register around telling me it was broken and he couldnt do it. Its fine. Sometimes stuff happens but as the customer its not my fault its broken. Just simply apologize and move on. Parking is a little difficult if youre not looking to pay and hang out downtown for a bit. Overall. Would I stop here again. For the food, yes. The atmosphere, yes. I will even say yes to the service.... maybe he was just having a bad night. Im all for second chances.

This place is awesome. Im from out of state and hands down delicious. Hot sauce has great flavor. I dont usually eat restaurants beans but these were authentic and delicious with some heat. I cant wait to come back and try more. The owner was there and was so friendly especially at the end of his night. Even the locals dining were so friendly and gave us Texas history lesson.

You walk up and see outdoor seating & cute lil plants which pull on my heart strings. Entrance is pretty hip. Open door and its surprisingly small but the vibe it gives off is super rad. You walk up to register and you can see chef cooking food as you order. Super clean in lobby and kitchen. Love the hip wall paintings and they have sports on t.v. We ordered the guacamole and it was served in cocktail glass with chips and pork skins. Im picky about my guacamole because at most places you can taste the preservatives. NOT HERE!!!! THEY MAKE IT FRESH & it shows So we ordered 2 sets of street tacos and chicken quesadillas. Cardi Asada & chicken were off the chain, pastor was a tad bit salty but Im sensitive to salt. Everything was awesome. They even had a good selection of of drinks. Lastly the staff was awesome. Super helpful, inviting & helpful. Even bumped into the chef at the local grocery store later that day and treated us like hometown regulars. We will definitely visit again soon. Nothing but good things to say about this place

Fantastic food. Party of 5, Dined in. Had the street tacos, chicken, pork, and beef. Chicken quesadilla, and chips + guac. Everyone really enjoyed. 5 was a tad too many for a table. I dont know that theres a solution, given the amount of space in the seating area. Staff was really friendly, and the fella running the griddle was doing a great job! Food was outstanding. I cant stress that enough. Everything tasted very fresh and was seasoned perfectly. Eat the beans, too. Theyre awesome. Next time were out that way, will visit again.
