    Fideo is yum- Went w/ a friend from Mexico City and she said it tastes just like her family recipe! Must try the Lomito Argentino torta with steak, ham, cheese, 2 hard boiled eggs and jalapeño mayo.

    The #3 (ham, cheese, and pineapple) is awesome! Also, the cilantro & bleu cheese soup is great. This place is a gem!!

    The tacos al pastor are delicious! They come with a yummy side of charro beans. Make sure to ask about their 'aguas frescas' since they have a daily variety.

    Lo más cercano a los tacos al pastor de México que he probado en Houston. Vale la pena visitar este lugar pero vengan en ayuno, las porciones son muy generosas!
