    This restaurant is awesome! The people are super nice and always so polite. Food is delicious and fast. Drive thru and window service only but there are benches to sit at if you have a crowd! I 100 percent recommend this place!

    I’ve been coming here every time I come back in town all the way back to 2011. Breakfast tacos are as close to heaven as it gets. Portion slightly larger than a standard taco, nothing wlike Moody’s size (RIP). Great service, all the standard variations of egg and cheese have been tried, all are fantastic. I drive from the south side and pass prolly 15 places to come here.

    We have lived here over a year and just discovered this place, it's a shame we didn't find it sooner!! Unbeatable prices for the quality of the food. The service is incredible. There were two looked into the road and one of the crew was literally RUNNING to take orders and get food out. Y'all there is a reason why there were TWO lines!! The horchata is a MUST, we also got 3 breakfast tacos for $4 on Saturday deal. We've tried the carne asada which was delicious, and tried the Taco Loco for $4.99 which was a loaded breakfast burrito... SO GOOD! If you haven't been here yet, do yourself a favor Picture of the Large Horchata for $1.99 next to a small cup from Sonic.

    Dang good food at this place. Always very busy. The line can be exhausting but well worth the wait.

    Let me preface this with, I’m on a Corpus Christi foodie group and everyone raves about this place. I’m from fort worth and have really been looking forward to trying this place. I had very high hopes when we went here. Don’t get me wrong, it was good. I’ll go back. But I was really expecting more after all the reviews. Always seems busy when we drive by but the wait wasn’t long.

    Amazing Mexican food and authentic. Rice and beans were great. Not expensive. Visiting and originally from SoCal. We loved the torta and the fried tacos. Would go there again. Takeout/drive through only but they have tables outdoors.
