This is one of six locations, all in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, although this is the "way out" location, between Dallas and Corsicana, a nice place for lunch if you're headed towards Houston on I-45. Word is that they're the best of the group. They've got a fairly large menu, while there are far less choices for breakfast. It's either your choice of breakfast tacos, which includes their signature birria, or a few huevos dishes, including huevos rancheros. If spice is a problem, be sure to tell them up front, as the cook is known to induce tears every now and then. Their breakfast is even better when dodging one of those famous Texas thunderstorms that drift through the area.
Take-out orders may be placed over the phone or at the counter, but diners can pick their own seat and get table service, which is very good. There are about a dozen tables, with some bar stools under the TVs -- bring your Spanish -- and some covered seating out on the patio. To get you started, they'll bring you some tostadas with a yuca mix along with some spicy mustard and salsa. They also have a nice selection of appetizers, with shrimp cocktail and wings among the most popular, but be aware that if you go after one of their specialty plates, they'll feed you well. This is Jalisco-style cuisine, with a focus on birria, but there's something for everybody here: Tacos, huaraches, sopes, quesadillas, tostadas, burritos, and some pretty impressive-looking tortas. Of course, this isn't Taco Bell, so you're not limited to beef or chicken as to what you put into your food, and it's all authentic. You can even order by the pound. They have a small menu for the kids, and like so many places in Texas, they're on the "Taco Tuesdays" bandwagon, a buck each as of this posting. These are "street tacos", though, smaller than the norm, so stock up!
Those who are looking for the classic Tex-Mex fajitas won't really find them here, although the Parrillada de Fajita Mixta is probably going to do it for most, with a combination of beef, shrimp, and sausage, with nopales cactus added to the usual fixins. Among their specialty plates are dishes with mole, lamb, shrimp, fish, and carnitas, as well as chile rellenos. They have a small selection of beer, and can do a michelada upon request. In addition to your typical fountain drinks, they have natural fruit juices, bottled drinks from Mexico, horchata, and tepache, and for dessert, they have flan, cheesecake, and churros.
They do have free, secure wi-fi, with the password available on request. For the most current information, this location has their own Facebook page, while the main website is here.
