I really like living so close to Pasadena. There are some cool spots out here that just remind me of another time in Houston. I am glad they preserve that vibe. Beautiful murals inside and out, good and lots parking, festive as all hell. Not sure how long the joint has been here, but it was my first time. I walked into this place on a Saturday morning off a recommendation from a family member and I really liked it. Walking in, Tejano, Norteño, Cumbia music over the speaker system at a good volume you can actually jam to the tunes and still have your conversation ( I imagine... i was solo lol). Families talking, laughing and carrying on. Really nice vibe, I feel. I sat at the bar as I like to sometimes at restaurants and especially diners. Service was good and attentive. I did not feel any rush whatsoever and was actually just enjoying sitting around in the environment. Menudo was delicious, all the fixins chopped up and fresh, limes, fresh and not the sad limes you get at some bars. Good tortillas flour and corn, barbacoa and asada were great. Full bar! Mexican Revolutionary photos, folk metal art, and good advice "We DO NOT have wifi! Talk to eachother and pretend its 1995." I just love that. I'm marking it down as a "favorita" for sure. But yeah, I'll be back for sure. I need to go get a beer and tequila there some time!

Took My kids to enjoy some Mexican food, mini tacos were ok not what I expected. Carne guisada plate in my son’s point of view not that good not much flavor I tried a piece of meat yeah it was taste less. Burrito had a lot of flavor many ingredients but needed more beans to give it that extra kick. Tampiqueña plate was good but rice had no flavor. Honestly we tried it once so that’s good, but sadly won’t be stopping by again. It’s hard for me to get my kids to enjoy some good Mexican food around south houston. But I try and take them out once in a while. Lol Great customer service good thing we went during the week and less people were there.

Very authentic food served here! Unsure of why it has an average rating. The artwork and murals definitely add to the authenticity of this place. The food was excellent and service was good. With competition high for best Mexican restaurants in Pasadena, it's not hard to say that the food here is in the top 5.
