If you enjoy eating with flies, this the place for you. Service was horrible. Never got to try the food. After waiting for service, we just left. it was a fantastic restaurant when first opened with the original owner.

Stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon for a quick lunch. This hole in the wall looks like a house and has a very small parking lot that was full when I got here. When I walked in, I noticed how the place was packed and busy with patrons grabbing lunch. There was only one server working outside the kitchen so service was a little slow.
They have a huge menu with very affordable prices (I come from the West coast where the prices are over double what I'd pay here in Texas). I settled on a large menudo and a chicken puffy taco. San Antonio is known for puffy tacos and this one did not disappoint. The texture was surprisingly soft as I thought it would be a crunchy taco but I was very satisfied. For $3, this taco is also big enough that a few will get you full. As for the menudo, it came with two flour tortillas. The soup came in a big bowl and had a lot of tripe. The tripe was soft and chewy (in a good way) and the soup was flavorful and packed with spices.
If you're looking for delicious Mexican food, this is a great small business option with good portions and prices. Perfect for a quick meal in an informal setting.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Natalya W.Brooklyn, NY03Aug 27, 2022
Yummy delicious. Found out about them from a coworker and tried them. Food was very flavorful, but not salty at all. I'm sensitive to salt these days, so finding a restaurant that prepares meals quickly, that's tasty but not salty, is a huge plus for me.

Papitas are good. Fajita tacos are really good with corn tortillas and charro beans. I also enjoyed their horchata, just a little sweeter than I like. Wish they had Jamaica.

Ok food, staff is friendly. Old man that is a "regular" was talking to his wife about my 1 year old being loud. When the waitress asked if he needed anything else he said "to shut the kid up". So we took our food to go, for the sake of not going off on him. Another customer talked to my husband outside, I guess he's there every other day complaining about everything and anything. Should really consider talking to him, he makes it a very hostile environment and can lose business this way.
Now to the food..
I ordered cheese chilaquiles, they were ok really plain. No flavor.
Husband, the chicken taco and enchilada said it lacked flavor.
Kids, pancakes and eggs. Pancakes were burnt.
Drink Horchata, it was ok.
Salsa was good.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Baz B.Kansas City, MO4310512May 21, 2018
I took my mother-in-law here for Mother's Day and we were pleasantly surprised that such a good place was so close to home. A great menu to choose from; I went with the good 'ol "B12," otherwise known as the Chorizo & Egg plate. Wonderful!
Good service, good good, and quick delivery made this a great little place to grab breakfast.
Be advised that they are not open all day, though! Just breakfast and lunch.
Enjoy!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Will M.Evanston, IL1520048Jan 5, 2020
Small mom and pop shop. It's a small hut, you might miss it when you are driving by it.
Food is good. As soon as I walked in, I felt I was back home in my moms kitchen. The food is not served fancy or what not. It's what you get at your mothers kitchen. Just good old, Hispanic comfort food. Prices are cheap too. So you can get a lot of food and not spend much.
Staff is super friendly and caring towards there customers. Definitely a place to come check out.
They also sell pupusas which is incredible haha.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
