Having wanting to visit for years, today it finally happened.We were seated immediately and ordered drinks.We didn't know what they served because there is not a menu, but we took the suggestions for tea and lemonade.These arrived quickly, before the rest of our party.Also appearing quickly were tortilla chips and warm salsa. . My lemonade had some adjunct that left it tasting like watermelon juice.Tasty and refreshing, but not quite lemonade. . When our friends arrived, Irma came to our table to recite the brief menu.When she said mole, I stopped listening because I love mole.Irma told me that they offer a red mole and a green mole on the weekends, but only red during the weekday.Whatever, I wanted it. . The charro beans arrived quickly, and they were fantastic.The plates arrived soon after, hot and attractive.The ladies had enchiladas, while the other gentleman raved about the best Chile Rellenos he'd ever had. . My mole featured two giant chunks of chicken breast sauces with darn good mole. The rice was delicious and functioned well to sop up the sauce.When I was done, it looked like I had licked my plate. . We split a Tres Leches, and loved every bite.We appreciated the firmer texture.It was definitely not soupy as other restaurants can be. . Throughout, Irma was attentive, gracious, but not overbearing.It was a fantastic experience. . I do want to address two issues we saw in other reviews.Some claimed the servings were small.I didn't find that true.I was completely sated by the meal, but not groaning.It was an excellent size for lunch. . Yes, there was no menu.There was no mention of prices--ever.There was no itemized bill.I don't know what anything cost, if we were charged for something we hadn't ordered, or anything like that.The bill we received was basically just the total...but it was reasonable for what we received and the level of service.This is not a normal gas station taqueria, don't think that it is.If the thought of lacking information throws you off, don't come.It isn't for everyone.But just know you will miss out, because this was a great lunch.
WOW! This place is an absolute must if you’re visiting or live in the Houston area.Me and my partner came all the way from Atlanta and let me tell you it was EVERYTHING! Irma is a national treasure.She came over several times to make sure everything was good! And let me tell you this was the best tamales I’ve ever had.You have to try Irma’s famous star berry lemonade! I will definitely be back to take some food home before I leave.I almost cried this food is so tasty.Everything is fresh and just melts in your mouth.Look for yourself.I wish you all the best thanks for taking care of us!
Amazing food and atmosphere! Margaritas were strong and very tasty.There is no printed menu so you have no idea what anything costs.Recommend eating before the drinks start to save your budget.Good luck!
