Oh wow! We stayed nearby after our connection flight was cancelled. After a quick search of nearby restaurants we decided to Uber here. The salsa is easily the best salsa weâve ever tasted. The carne asada and the tour of El Paso were FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Everything has such amazing flavor! My husband said âI donât like mole sauceâ. When his food came out he said âmmm... this mole sauce is great!â I said âI thought you didnât like mole sauceâ and he replied âwell I like THIS mole sauce!â

1/2 off fajita night was a nice surprise and it was delicious! I had veggie fajita - fresh, nicely grilled, and great rice and guacamole to go with it! Husband and kids had the beef and chicken combo - yum! Great margaritas and our daughter raved about the queso! Amazing service and ask for a hot salsa - they made it fresh for us! Perfection!

Authentic Mexican food in Friendswood. A bit hard to find tucked into a small strip shop in a gas station lot. The food is quality. Service is fast and friendly. Try their aguas frescas.
