Cuisines: Mexican
Restaurant details
Reviewed 30 March 2016 via mobile

This appears to be a chain of market/cafes, started in Houston 1986. I went to the market in Gaveston. I will be visiting other locations when possible. They have a few platters with rice and beans but the main menu focus is on ala cart. Prices are reasonable but not posted. My torta was under $5.00. Three adults with drinks (non alcohol) around $25
This is not taco bell or a waiter served meal. As a retired chef, I search for *really good food* everywhere I go. This is worth the visit.

On the market side they sale tamales to go. Pork or corn, both are fantastic.

This is an Hispanic grocery with a few tables and a lot of choices. I ordered 2 gorditas based on previous other taqueria restaurants...one would have been plenty! Huge! And wonderful ! They have a cold bar to add to your selection with lettuce, jalapeños, key limes, salsas, and other yummies. As we were leaving we noticed someone putting out tamales. Got 4 of those in pirk plus a corn only. Oh my...the corn only! What a treat. The prices are more than reasonable and the service excellant. If you want the real deal, try this place!

Clean, authentic, reasonably priced Mexican market with fresh produce, a deli and full service meat counter. This is our ONLY go to place for seasoned fajita meat. Once we tried theirs, we never made our own again. You MUST try their in house sour cream as well, heavenly!!

Let me tell you about this place, first of all the staff is excellent, the service is grand, and the food is home made and to die for. Prices are really reasonable, and the atmosphere is homemade.
