They have the best carne guisada tacos in Floresville and with cheese just made it even better. Even the salsa for the tacos is good, spicy but good.

The food here is delicious. We usually get tacos. Menudo, carne guisada, barbacoa is all good. The tortillas are made fresh as they go and are pillowy soft. They even make sopapillas for dessert! I have a photo, but we had eaten them all but one. I prefer them with honey, but they give you pancake syrup. Someone mentioned service is a little slow, but you usually have one young lady doing everything up front, waiting on tables, phone orders, and the register. In spite of all that, she keeps the restaurant very clean and cleans the tables right away. There are only about 8 tables, but we've never had to wait. We love the homey feel of the place. There's music playing and a lot of friendly conversation. Great place!

Small quaint place. The food is delicious. Temperature of the food was perfect. Best in the area, for Floresville(no offense) Mexican enchiladas were on point. Beans and rice had an authentic flavor. Chips and salsa were fresh. Service was great. Only one waitress/cashier, however she got the job done. Food did not take too long to come out.

Very good and homemade breakfast tacos! And for the price, can't beat it. I'm looking forward to trying some more of their food next time I'm in the area.

Super clean, service was great and the food was delicious. We got gorditas, puffy tacos and a carne guisada taco and everything was great. Repeat place for sure.

Why is this place not packed? I'm from San Antonio visiting and I have to say this is one of the best tacos and tortillas I've had. Growing up with homemade flour and corn tortillas these are on point. And under 5 bucks for two tacos! Definitely will be returning good work guys
