This authentic Mexican restaurant certainly will not impress you with its class, but the straightforward food has an appeal of its own. Diners who favor quality food over atmosphere will thoroughly enjoy this dining experience. Grilled shrimp tacos and Mexican tortas (sandwiches) are both house specialties and diner favorites. The homemade soup of the day is fantastic. Menu pricing is very modest at USD4 to USD8. Alcohol is not available. Other location: 1749 Richmond Ave., Houston, +1 713 521 3144.
