My Favorite Restaurant on Galveston Island.
Equadorian and Mexican Food Restaurant and Grocery Store.
Can't go wrong with the Shrimp, Fish, Pork or Chicken Dishes.
The Pozoli (Pork Soup) is amazing.
Huge Equadorian Pork Tamale's wrapped in Banana Leaves are delicious and filling.
It looks like a grocery store from the outside but as soon as you walk in you step into the dining room of a restaurant that just so happens to have groceries. Most of them are dry goods but hey, they have cinnamon so big and fragrant, tamarindo pods as big as your hand, and all the dried hibiscus you'll need. This is also known as flor de Jamaica which translates to "flower of Jamaica". Just so you know. I don't get my flower here I come here for the food. This day I had the pork chop special. Dang, that's a lot of food for not so much money. The menu has a lot to offer and everything has been great. There are a lot of places that have a better atmosphere and maybe better this and that but the food was good and the beer was cold, and it was cheap. So if your looking for Mexican food this place is on Broadway and a safe bet. You'll see locals here, including me and that tells you something.
I came here on a review from google. Glad i did.
I ordered the fried fish and it's AMAZING. The fish was crispy and seasoned well. Fries, rice, Pico and tortilla were on point. Will eat here again next time I'm in Galveston.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Nice authentic Mexican restaurant off the beaten path in Galveston. I had a bowl of menudo, an adventurer’s specialty. I like my food tasty and spicy and they got it right. A cold Modelo Negra helped wash down the meal
Service was fine but nothing special. The surrounding neighborhood was a bit rough but don’t let that turn you away. You can tell it’s a local spot. Cheers!
We came here after a quick search for breakfast tacos. Who knew that we would find a gem that was by far better than any other restaurants we went to that weekend. The food was great and the prices were absolutely fair. It seemed like a working person's kinda spot. They also had a grocery store in the restaurant. I think you could even bring your own catch in, and they will cook it, not 100% sure on that. I had the whole fried fish, best I can remember having as far as fried fish goes. Anyway, if you are in town for a weekend I would say this is a can't miss spot but don't tell anyone because you tell someone and then they tell someone and the next thing you know I can't get a table next time i go.
Placed was packed. Wall to Wall people all patiently waiting for their orders. That's how you know this place is good!
Super cute place, lively music. Our server was Loli for a table of 9. She was very attentive and great personality. Food came out promptly, everything was delicious.
What's cool here is that it is also a grocery store, a good variety of items plus household products, charcoal and blankets for cold weather. Stop by, you won't be disappointed.
Came back again Monday , same great service. Thank you Loli.
Lady working the cashier was extremely friendly and helpful with me today. I'm the tattooed woman that has rbf and is socially awkward. She was so kind and helped me with the menu. The to go order was quick. Everything extremely fresh and you get lots of food at a good price. This exceeded my expectations. I had the #35 Chicken Enchilada. The hot sauce served on the side with it is amazing and flavorful as well.
The best food is usually where you'd least expect it and this is one of them! I stopped one morning on my way out from a weekend in Galveston and this hit the spot!! Very decently priced and everything was absolutely delicious!
Fresh off the Carnival Cruise and I wanted something delicious to eat. Saw this place and a pic of their menudo. This place did not let me down, the menudo was just how I imagined it.
