The food was outstanding. Look at the size of the burrito shell! The portions are huge. The prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is small so you have to watch closely or you will drive right by. They do have parking on the side street. We stopped for take out about 11:15 am and it was already busy. But you won't be disappointed so do stop and enjoy!!

Very impressed with our food! We had the cheese nachos, which were surprisingly delicious. Also had the cheese enchilada plate and the Mexican plate. Food was excellent and service was very fast and friendly. Highly recommend!

The hubby gave the carne guisada 5 starts (brown sauce); the perfect amount of spices. The enchiladas suizas sauce was very tasty. The chicken needed a little more spices, but overall, good. The green salsa was fresh & spicey.

One of the Best Mexican breakfast. Food takes longer to be served because it’s all makes from scratch. Big portions are served. You must try the homemade flour tortillas. It is super big and delicious. The chilaquiles were little bit spicy but so delicious. When you come to South Padre Island, you must force a stop at Port Isabel to eat here. I read comments about the American breakfast served here. We didn’t order any of that so I can not provide feedback on that price. If you are looking for genuine Mexican food for a great price come here. If you want American food, you may want to look somewhere else. There is only 1 restroom for both men/ women and it’s clean also. I would definitely come back.

Holy Guacamole. This is wonderful food. Fajitas on delicious homemade tortillas -- You can taste the difference. Salsa is soooo good. Large servings. Bright and clean place, casual decor. We're so glad we ate here.

First thing that we find very attractive is the friendly service, small talk, laughing. As we proceed the next test is the coffee… 5⭐️☕️. Then we move on to the breakfast choice, Chilaquiles con wuevos, refried beans, hasbrowns. Ohh that salsa is spicy and very fresh. Eggs scrambled to perfection and the beans took me back to mamas 🏡. Delicious. We chose this place after seeing a TikTok video where they served enormous tacos, no kidding they did have that but the serving of Chilaquiles looked more appetizing, soon we will try the Giant Taco. Make this your next mom/pop restaurant pit stop on your way in/out of Port Isabel/Padre Island.

A true hidden gem in an unassuming restaurant. Words cannot describe how fantastic the breakfast burritos are here, easily the best we’ve ever had and our mouths are watering typing this out. From the sheer size of the breakfast burritos to the flavors, everything is fantastic and beyond what we ever could've hoped for stopping by here. The parking situation is not great as there’s not many spots around the side, but figure out how to get in here if you can. The staff is extremely friendly and the interior is clean. We ordered a sausage and cheese burrito; chorizo, egg, and cheese burrito; and a cheese quesadilla. Every single thing was out of this world. We could write again how great the breakfast burritos are, but we recommend you just go and try it. By far one of the best hidden gems we have found in the state of Texas. Make the trip, it’s worth it.
