Amazing food, amazing service by cocineros. If you love good value good food this is the place for you. The elotes are amazing. A lot of grocery selections
By far the best meat I have bought. They season it so well, and I always get complements when I host event with their food!
Fantastic tacos!! This place is always a great place when you want authentic tacos! I've heard amazing things about their torta so next time I'll have to try it out!
Meat is well seasoned and great customer service!!! Recommended to all my friends! Great for parties and even cost effective comparing to Uncle Julio's or El Fénix!
Food - 5 Service - 4 Value - 5 We came here the other week hoping for some authentic Mexican food. Upon entering, we immediately knew we came to the right spot as evidenced by the long line (that moved quickly) that had many native-Spanish speakers in it. I ordered a torta with some steak and the worker behind the counter even suggested which type of steak would pair well with that. The portions were massive and it was probably the best torta I've had from a restaurant -- steak was tender and juicy and the bread soaked up the juices too but didn't get soggy.
Located in a plaza not too far from Little Elm beach, step into this market for pure authenticity. It's cramped & the line wraps around the tiny store but it works. Prices are reasonable & portions are large. Grab some hot fresh tortillas in the coolers by the front registers. Menu varies on weekends but we ordered the steak torta & carnitas plate with a big side of nopales. Bold & flavorful taste, this'll definitely be a regular stop after a day at the Little Elm beach.
My to go spot when craving mexican taco, hand down this is the best taco in frisco/ little elm area . This place's is always pack, they're have ton of meat option to pick from, my favorite is a fajita steak's, Barbacoa, & Pastore taco ! Definitely give this place's a try if your in the area !
I love this meat market because they have the best tacos! When you walk in, it is actually a meat market with lots of food items like a small grocery store. You have to go all the way to the back of the store. There is usually a line which is a great indication that the food is delicious. I usually get the barbacoa tacos with cilantro and onions. The meat is so tender and flavorful.
