El Hidalguense

A no frills establishment with Absolutely the best experience for barbacoa and excellent authentic Mexican food. I dined for lunch on a Saturday and they had a band entertaining the guests with live Mexican music and songs. I thoroughly enjoyed the bacbacoa and the freshly made corn tortillas. I have to say the service I received was exceptional. I was welcomed immediately as I walked in and chose my own table. My server was attentive and checked on me just at the right times.

This review will probably make no justice to El Hidalguense. If you like barbacoa/chivito this is the place. Authentic Hidalgo Mexico style barbacoa in Houston. The barbacoa/chivito was amazing so was the consome (broth). Let’s not forget handmade tortillas. The fajitas were amazing.

El Hidalguense is a solid spot if you’re looking for authentic Mexican flavors, especially their Birria, which is absolutely delicious. The seasoning and tenderness of the meat are spot on, making it the highlight of the menu. The karaoke setup adds a fun and lively vibe, but the volume can get a bit overwhelming while you’re eating. It would be great if they could lower it slightly during meals so guests can enjoy their food and still have conversations. The atmosphere could use some upgrades to match the quality of the food. While it’s clean and welcoming, a few modern touches would go a long way in enhancing the dining experience. Also, the restrooms need attention—they could definitely use some improvements to ensure they meet the same standard as the rest of the establishment. Overall, El Hidalguense delivers fantastic food and a fun vibe. With a few tweaks, it could become an even better destination for both locals and visitors.

Food taste is amazing, we drive 50min-1hr to get the but is all worth it Staff are very friendly Oh anf their arroz con leche is a must

The food was authentic and seasoned well. Their cheese is amazingggg. The service was fast and kind. When we went there was live music which was great to experience in the morning. I wish the volume of the music was a little softer but it was nice to have.

I saw Chris Shepherd review this restaurant on his new show, Eat Like a Local, and I knew this was the place for me! I grabbed my Mom, and off we went on a late Saturday afternoon. Mom ordered the whole fried fish with a fresh cantaloupe juice. I ordered a michelada, the barbacoa, for 1 with handmade tortillas. Flautas arrived while we enjoyed the live music. Delicious and crispy with the best accompanying chili sauce. Our food arrived promptly, and I have never seen Mom more pleased. Her fish was crispy on the outside but tender and juicy inside. The barbacoa comes with cactus salad, which is delicious. I was able to eat about 4 tacos before giving up, but I will be back because that lamb was everything I dreamed it would be. As we dined, Mom noticed another table enjoying the cabrito. She wanted to order to go. Lol, I suggested we just come back with more family. And we will! See you soon, El Hidalghense!

Very good quality food and very family friendly atmosphere. The meat is also one of the best I had, really recommend it.

This place is worth it for the prices and lamb barbacoa alone. Parking was tricky even though there is an extra lot across the street. We ordered the grilled chicken, Monterrey, and lamb barbacoa, but with all the side dishes, we definitely had a fiest! All the chicken was very moist and flavorful. The barbacoa was worth the hype! Fell right off the bone and had amazing flavor. The rice and cactus salad were also solid. Live music and karaoke on the weekends!

Saw this place on local eats YouTube and wanted to come and see if it's really authentic Mexican FOOD! Cabrito and barbacoa are not easy to make and the love and time that it takes shows so let's see how it goes!!! First off!! My husband said "Está solo!!" Which means "empty spot" for us lol but I said nahhhh let's give it a try!! It's good that it's not packed lol so we can enjoy. We could see the lady "server" from the window getting ready with menus for us so that was very nice to see she was paying attention!! We ordered drinks: horchata and Mexican coke and OMG the horchata is on point! Just enough cinnamon and the rice flavor is amazing!!! Homemade for sure!!!! We asked for the queso fundido and chorizo as appetizer! Very creamy and cheesy!!! Chorizo is savory and the salsa they bring at the beginning with 2 flautas is super super spicy but delicious so try it out!! Homemade tortillas is a must!!!! Very thick and perfect size and flavor!!!! Waiting on the charola for 2 which comes with cabrito, barbacoa, flautas, consomé and refried beans and yummm nopales!!! We wanted to try both out so the lady advices to get this!!! Can't wait!!! OMG OMG OMG YESSS!! Don't regret it!! Don't be fooled by the bad reviews or the empty restaurant! This place is a gem!!! The savory meat with such overwhelming Burt's of flavor is amazing!!!! Both cabrito and barbacoa are very soft! Melts in your mouth and the flavor is on point!!! Nailed it 100% MEXICO on the table!!! The consome with garbanzo and rice is so heartwarming!! So savory!! We will have so much left to take home!! It was a lot of food!! And I am happy for that because I will be regretting not eating more lol The ambiance is very homie, relaxing and Mexican music in the background it's a plus!!! Service is great! Very attentive and sweet workers!!! You feel that good vibe!

Bajen el volumen de la música por favor!! Llega el momento en que ya no se come a gusto Sábado y domingo La comida está perfecta y los meseros siempre atentos pero el volumen de los músicos ya está a un nivel molesto :/ Por favor!

Popped by the other day when it was nice and cold outside for some type of soup to warm up and the waiter recommended Pozole. I had wanted to try their Menudo, which they serve everyday, and not just on the weekends, which is rare. But based upon his recommendation, I went forward and ordered the Pozole and WOW, it was OUTSTANDING! Check out the picture and see how rich the broth was! I still love the Borrego barbacoa and their cabrito, but I am definitely adding this to my list of regular orders.

Authenticity is a buzz word that gets tossed around, some places play with it and others embrace it. El Hidalguense is one of the latter. If you want to have a taste of a homemade meal from a Mexican house, this is the best I've had in a while from a restaurant. Menu is in Spanish and English, but you might want to touch up on your Spanish prior to visiting. Mine is serviceable, if not always a bit rusty and I managed through a meal comfortably. Regardless of your duolingo score, the staff here is polite and friendly like you'd expect. Homemade tortillas are being made as you walk in, Univision is on the TV, and a table is easy to find. This is the vibe you get from authenticity. You come for the Cabrito here, a small barbecue goat that is simply seasoned and grilled to amazing crispness. It's kinda a luxury meal for my grandparents and the price reflects that a bit, around $30 for order of meat. It's best to order family style I'd say and just enjoy the Cabrito with the salsas and tortillas. Beans come with your order and taste like the beans we'd used to make on Sunday to have for the rest of the week. Nothing is perfect here but this place has had heaps of praise piled on it in the past and it's very worth it.

I've been wanting to go to this place for over a year now because they have Cabrito and that used to be my mother's favorite. my brother, my nephew and I. Kaitlyn excellent waitress Alberto bought us appetizers lil a flauta with a very good red sauce which my nephew loved I ordered a taco and fajita n trips and my brother ordered the nachos and my nephew ordered the enchiladas fajita. We also ordered chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were very good. Kaitlyn was very attentive thank you very good service and so was Alberto . We will to be going back. Everything I ordered was flavorful delicious on point! I will would definitely bring more people. Kaitlyn and Alberto are excellent servers.

It was my first time here and I liked that we got little flautas instead of chips. I ordered the enchiladas that came with frijoles charros but it was so heavy I barely ate the beans. I would only suggest they bring out the beans first so you can eat before the food comes out.

Very authentic experience of the Mexican interior. Not for those who might be easily intimidated by unusual foods or different experiences. The night I went they were having Spanish language karaoke. A nearby table was eating what looked like the head of a goat. Ours was one of the few tables where English was being spoken. I felt like I was in Mexico and i loved it.

We had the cabrito and it was well prepared. It was a great experience with fresh food. The service was great although be prepared to speak Spanish.. The ambiance is authentic. Totally worth the trip.

Fantastic food and great service. A real authentic Mexican meal. None of that Tex-Mex. The location is super old so don't be afraid when you show up and it doesn't look inviting. They will be moving soon to a new and larger location.

I went to this place for the famous barbacoa de Borrego/lamb. Barbacoa in Texas is usually made from beef. It is not easy to find barbacoa de borrego. I thought it would be too gamey but it wasn't bad. It was a little dry but with homemade tortillas and a spicy red salsa made it a lot better.I also ordered the Huasteca plate, which i have never heard of before and wanted to try something different. The Huasteca is a plate that consists of scrambled egg enchiladas in Huasteca sauce.It also includes a cecina steak which like a thin milanesa steak. The cecina steak and beans were very flavorful but the Huasteca enchiladas werent what I expected. Not bad but not great. There are other things on the menu like cabrito/goat that are not easy to find and are authentic Mexican classics. If you are interested in trying the barabacoa de borrego or some cabrito then give El Hidalguense a try.

Around 4 weeks ago. I visited this restaurant again. Given a second chance. But I was disappointed again. I ordered a Pozole and the pictures attached you will see what they gave me. They don't know the original recipe for a Mexican Pozole. First you never will serve the bones . Pozole is only meat . And I dont know what kind of meat you guys served me. ​

Food was great, service was amazing and very important is the place was clean. Will be back and introduce place to friends and family.

The worst ambiance in restaurant history but they said the food is good not only do they serve you on plastic plates the food is disgusting all stew meat with some nasty bean soup and soggy tortillas the prices are way too high for the portion and quality I regret coming here and the food didn't sit well I highly doubt they sanitize anything here oh and MY CAR WAS DAMAGED BUT THIER GUESTS DONT HAVE CAR INSURANCE

Great food but the live music was extremely loud we couldn't even talk and hear each other

El caldo de barbacoas sabía a puta agua bags de sabor. La salsa también está muy diluida con agua y sin sazón como antes era muy buena.

Super authentic Mexican food! From Hidalgo to Houston, you will live the food. Most days there is live music or acts (comedians, karaoke, etc.). A great spot for a date or hangout with friends.

I've been coming here for 15 years and always have the same thing enchiladas de mole verde, while my family enjoys their menudo, cabrito asado and on Sundays their delicious barbacoa. Today I came in and again had my enchiladas never disappoints. It was supper busy today, and that makes me happy to see my favorite restaurant still flourish. Oh i almost forgot they have hand made tortillas by the order

Love this place and normally come here for the excellent cabrito al pastor. Today though I thought I'd drop in maybe have a taco. But a special was mole al ollo. Wow, the best beef soup I've ever had. Loaded with tender beef and lots of vegetables. Never had mole based soup before... won't be my last time! The service was great and the taquito with its delicious sauce as a starter was perfect.

I do recommend this place to everyone, the food was great, some authentic Mexican barbacoa and consomé! When we showed up there was a lot of ppl waiting and the owner came out and give us some tacos dorados to eat wile waiting and I think that was very nice of him, definitely coming back!

Friendly service, the waitresses was nice and answered our questions about the food we wanted to order, the food is fresh and you have the options for fresh tortillas. It's worth the wait.. because you know the food is made fresh.

food was good, chips are extra and the salsa wasn't my favorite, but still good. Ambiance is below average. Fairly popular spot the day we went

This family restaurant has been a place that my family and I go to. The reason I'm giving this a one star is because I have worked in the industry before and it baffles me that the way that the owner of the restaurant, Señora Gudelia speaks to her staff . Not only does she speak to them in a condescending way, but she tries to shade them to fully disrespect them . I'm pretty sure that the workers are taking it because they really do need the job. I suggest that the store manager speaks to the owner on how to properly talk to the employees. Because at the end of the day they are the ones that make your restaurants run . It would be shame if the restaurant Were to allow the owner to continue to treat her people like this. I understand what it feels like to be in the weeds when it's a busy in a restaurant. But that's not the way to talk to the staff, also she needs it looks like she needs to be a little more organized. Four stars for the food but one HEAVY star because of the owner. I hope that whoever is running this account on behalf of the owner definitely lets her know. Because I will be coming back just to ensure that she knows to treat people with respect. If no one hasn't checked her trust me I will be the one to check her and let everyone in the restaurant know what is going on. Some people forget to be grateful to their staff and she should be definitely not talking to them in the middle of a pandemic like that.

Food is delicious. Menudo here is my favorite. I Can you add menudo to the Uber eats menu?

Super delicious authentic Mexican food!! La Birria is definitely one of my favorite. This place is always super full but servers are definitely well trained to deal with it and always super nice. Weekends are the best days with live Mexican music to enjoy while eating with the fam!

I did not find this food to be authentic Mexican. The serving presentation is sloppy. The service is terrible, wait staff seems to have a bad attitude.

Tried their birria de borrego recently and absolutely loved it! Great flavor and the meat was so tender! After singing it's praises in my office, my coworkers wanted to try it, so placed a big order for lunch on a Friday. It was a hit! Had never had so much silence for 30 minutes in the office as they were all enjoying it!!!

GET THE BEEF CALDO! Alot of other places have more bone in the caldo than beef, but our order was soooo delicious and they were not stingy with the beef (which was so tender). Also, they have outdoor seating and have placed plastic shields at each table to help protect their customers during this pandemic. The barbacoa tacos we ordered lacked some seasoning, but we also ordered on a Friday night, so we may have missed the prime time to order these tacos. We will definitely return.

This place is a hole in the wall in a dinky strip. Inside is pretty big, but super packed with tables. The tables are pretty though. At first glance, I was not overly impressed. A young man seated us and had a pretty good sense of timing for when to come take our order. The menu is slightly bizarre to me with prices ranging from 1.50 for a simple quesadilla to 10 for fajitas to like 50 for a meal or 100 for catering. They came out with some complimentary eggroll looking thing that may have been fried flautas? It was super fried and crispy and hard to chew, but tasted so yummy that I kept eating it. I like their horchata. I have no idea how much it cost because the menu had white outs all over. We got the cheese and chorizo appetizer with handmade tortillas. When it came out, I was surprised to see it wasn't like nacho cheese, but a that thick kind I only have ever seen at taco stands. And it was the bomb. I'd eat that EVERY single time. The tortillas we're too thick to me, with that bumpy stale porridge texture...but cheese makes everything okay. The pazole was do decent. I think it could have had a little more flavor in the broth, but the pork in it was tender. A quesadilla at this place is basically a tortilla folded in half, which explains the low price. I am not complaining though because it is very rich and filling for its size. The fajita beef in it was...great. like impressive flavor great. Probably the most flavorful fajita I have ever had. I ordered a torta with fajita beef as well. That was not great. I mean...technically the same meat right? But no. Not at all. Like it was like eating two different meats. Not a fan, would never get it again. At the end they brought out a complimentary plate of that arroz con something dessert. I've never had it before, but it tasted sweet and I enjoyed it. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by this location. I would be very selective about what I ordered here, but I can see myself trying this place again.

This restaurant has rude waiters I found a hair in my flauta nasty took long to bring my plate disgusting I don't think cooks wear hair nets

After being very sick one day, I sent my cousin caldo de pollo from El Hidalguense and she said it was delicious! This time when I was sick, my cousin sent me some caldo and it was top-notch. Just like Mom would make. Came with plenty of chicken, calabazita, chayote, and big chunks of carrot. Sides were tortillas, arroz, and toppings. ¡Delicioso! Thank you for the wonderful caldo, El Hidalguense.

After reading some other friends reviews of this place I went for dinner one night recently. This is a low rent dining room in a run down strip center. However we all know that good food can be found in places like this. Inside there were only 3-4 other diners and a lot of empty tables. I snagged one and looked at the menu. I tried to ask a couple of questions to my waiter but he didn't speaka da english very well so he went and got a lady who works there who spoke a little English. I was tempted to order the cabrito but at $28 I didn't feel like taking the chance since I had never eaten here before so I went with the beef and chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and charro beans. Since this is a Mexican restaurant there were no chips and salsa :( The meal was good. Both meats were good along with the charro beans. I really had no complaints. It was a solid 3 meal. I would come back if I was in the area. When presented with the bill I noticed I was charged for the flour tortillas and have no idea why. It wasn't much (something like .65 cents)...but why? I would have asked but communication wasn't easy with my very limited Spanish. If I returned I might try the cabrito to see if it was worth it. I might if I ever come back.

We ordered cabrito paleta. It was bland. I don't recommend. The charro beans where good but the bowl was full of liquid but barely any beans considering this is a $30 + plate they could of put mor beans in the bowl. I was there 10/9

I love El Hidalguense! My uncle was actually the one who told me about it (spring branch fam). We have loved vieng Thai and have been going for years, but never ventured over to El Hidalguense til this year. So happy we did! Favorite things: At lunch they make their own tortillas... and serve them the rest of the day! They are heavenly. You can also watch them making them during lunch too! Their salsa are homemade and they are delicious!!! I love to dip my tortillas in them. Plus you can actually buy the salsa to go, too, for at home. They also give out little flautas (complimentary) as an appetizer! Last time we were there, they also gave us a dessert of rice pudding with spices... (dinner service) and a little soup at the beginning too. So good! I seriously love this place! Their dishes are all so good, and I love that the caldo de res there comes with chayote squash in it. 100% recommend it!

Awesome food!!!! Great atmosphere too!!! Suggest Familiar! Could feed 4-5 & a bit of all the best

Delicious ! Great food and service :) Todo riquísimo . My husband and I have been here before and yet again we left full and happy

A friend brought me here. The area is a bit sketchy, and the restaurant is a bit worn out. But the food is good. It's probably my first favorite Mexican food. They also have live music there, but it's a bit too loud, and they play it constantly, kinda a bit much. Will I go back? Maybe. Only if my friends want to.

This is my first time here and I can't believe I haven't been here sooner! The micheladas & menudo was so delicious! I'm definitely coming back!

El Hidalguense restaurant is one of my favorite places to get some food when I want authentic Mexican food in Houston. I've been coming to this place for almost 10 years and never have been disappointed. I believe it's a great place to get authentic Mexican food. I recommend anyone to come here to try out some delicious food inspired by Mexican culture. Every time I enter the restaurant, I'm automatically greeted kindly by the waitresses and here music playing in the background. The customer service is fast, the waitresses waste no time getting you seated. The tables and area are clean and comfortable. While ordering I'm immediately presented with a menu and cold drink. This place makes you feel like you're at home. Employees do a good job making you feel welcomed. The people here really care about their customers. They have all kinds of food available on the menu. My favorite thing to order on the menu is tacos de barbacoa and calde de pollo. I love tacos and soup especially calde de pollo. It's a delicious chicken soup that makes you feel better on a sick day. The food here are made with delicious Mexican flavors. The drinks are also delicious and cold. Horchata is one of my favorite traditional Mexican drinks. The food and drinks here are always fresh. It makes the food so much better. I always have fast service and the employees are quick to get your order ready. There is usually no wait time when I dine in or order to go. This place has a lot of delicious Mexican cuisine to offer. I always have many options to choose from on the menu. The tortillas, beans, rice, and salsa are homemade. You can taste the delicious flavors with every bite. Mexican food has natural flavors with an amazing taste.

They're expecting to open a bigger restaurant soon and I can't wait to continue supporting their business. The customer service is great, and the food is delicious. I never had a bad experience here.

Good place dor typical Mexican food. Great for hungover green chilaquiles... watch out though... they are hot!!!

de postre arroz con leche súper súper bueno . La barbacoa está deliciosa! 100% recomendaría que vengan a este lugar!

The food was very good, but I was disappointed by the service--essentially, they double charged us for an item, but told us tough luck when we pointed it out to the server. The chorizo and egg breakfast tacos were delicious--very flavorful, and you could see them making the tortillas in the open kitchen. The tortillas maybe weren't quite as good as Ninfa's or El Tiempo's, but they were obviously fresh and still very good. The lamb barbacoa tacos were great as well; very lean and tender. The only problem I had was that we ordered 1/2 pound of lamb barbacoa, but they (apparently) brought us a whole pound and charged us for a whole pound. When we pointed this out, they shrugged and told us that's what we had to pay for, as that's what we ate (don't worry, though, we're not pigs and didn't eat nearly the whole pound). Maybe it was an honest mistake, but it would have been easy to fix and also seemed like a fairly easy way for them to make more money off of us.

Tacos taste good but didn't add no cilantro/unions. Got 5 tacos for $22 very expensive not worth it.

Really good Mexican food. Hands down, best pozole and menudo I've had in a Mexican restaurant. The tacos de tripa are so good too, actually everything I've tried here has been good. The red sauce was good too.

The wait is not that bad on a busy day, had the barbacoa! Was amazing!!! The prices are decent, and they have live music Sundays! Tots recommended to come, pretty authentic.

*Full disclaimer: I know the family that owns the restaurant. That being said, I'm not sure you're going to find more authentic, amazing Mexican food in Houston. It is the kind of place where they really do look at you like you're crazy if you ask for queso--and they very well may bring you a bowl of shredded cheese. The main dish that everyone needs to try is the cabrito. It is perfectly cooked with a wonderfully crisp layer of skin and deliciously juicy meat falling off the bone right before your eyes. It is fabulously cooked and plenty for a person and a half (two if you're not big eaters). It also happens to be the only thing "pricey" on their menu. And by "pricey," I mean that you should quit your whining and realize that this is *real* cabrito--not just some nasty old goat chopped up. Everything else I've had has been great here. You can't go wrong with the fajitas especially with the yummy tortillas. You literally watch them make it front of you and have it delivered to your table within seconds of coming off the heat. They do have a tendency to put nopales in everything which I'm not personally a fan of, but I sneakily pick them off and hide them on the plate when no one is looking. :) This is definitely a hole in the wall where if you're not brown, you may stick out like a sore thumb. I consider this a good thing--a true sign of good food when the natives actually eat at the restaurant. They also have a live mariachi band and free tequila shots (no liquor license) on Sundays.

Let's start by setting the scene. There's nothing Tex Mex about this place...nothing. There's also nothing fancy about this place. There's bars on the windows/door, and the decor is simple, if not a little uninviting. I went during lunch and was the only Gringo in the place. Telenovelas were playing on the two televisions. Bottom line: Who cares as long as the food is on point, amirite? I knew going in that I wanted to try the barbacoa de borrego (lamb barbacoa); however, being the overzealous Gringo I am, I ordered the version that comes out like fajitas, accompanied by consommé soup rather than beans and rice. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but I would've preferred beans and rice over the soup. Alas, my fault. Moving on. The soup was pretty flavorful, especially after I squirted a lime in it for some extra zest (a trick I learned with Taqueria Arandas seafood soup). I really liked the vermicelli/rice (?), but didn't care for the garbanzo beans in the soup at all. I forgot to mention, prior to the meal coming out, I did receive a dish of salsa (pretty good) and a flauta (meh, cold) rather than the chips/queso combo you'd ordinarily receive at a mexican restaurant. Finally, this is what you've been waiting for... ... in fact, if you're still reading you might be confused by the 4 stars. And maybe this place deserved 3 stars and is getting the benefit of no expectations and me being hungry, BUT I thought the barbacoa de borrego was fantastic. You have to pick around a few bones, but the meat has a robust flavor and is moist (you love that word, don't you?) and tender like a good brisket. On a recommendation, I opted for the corn tortillas, which were as good as I've had. Beware: they do cost extra, which I didn't know until they rung me up after the meal. Deliciousness = Corn tortilla + lamb barbacoa + salsa + pico - nopales (cactus just doesn't do much for me). I probably wouldn't bring me wife here on a date, but I'll probably be back for lunch at some point.

I came here on a Monday since my favorite Mexican place in the vicinity is closed on Mondays (Las Locas Fajitas). El Hidalguense is located in the same strip center as Vieng Thai, for those of you up with the hot spots in Houston. They brought out a dish of burgundy-colored salsa (not too spicy) and some crunchy flautas (??) instead of the token chips and dip at Tex Mex places. That's how I knew we were somewhere legit! They have quite a few lunch specials, but I opted for a beef taco (really wanted some cilantro and onions) and a chicken gordita. I sipped on a gigantic refreshing glass of a sandia aguas frescas-type drink. Wow, enough adjectives there? Anyway, the gordita was simply one piece of thick masa dough with refried beans, dark meat chicken and shredded white cheese. I was hoping for the crumbly white cheese and white meat chicken, so I was a tad disappointed. It was good but not great. The taco was much better, although it lacked the cilantro and onions I was really wanting. (For the record, I thought it said cilantro, onions, lettuce, tomato on the menu for tacos). Oh well. The beef on the taco was pretty scrumptious, though. My companions were in heaven with their flauta and fajita lunch special plates. They each had a deep bowl of borracho beans that were very delicious (if not a tad salty). The music blasted was very festive and while the place is your typical hole-in-the-wall, they do have good service, pretty decent prices and some tasty food.

Came on a Sunday after church for an amazing time. Live music, amazing food, and the sweetest of people. Love this place!! Will definitely be back. :) Ps: highly recommend the chilaquiles and the queso con chorizo with tortillas hechas a mano.

Really good Mole Poblano, nutty, a bit sweet, and with a soft taste of chile. Very delicious. The cabrito enchilado was very moist and comes in a skillet. The Pollo a la parilla was also very moist and well seasoned. The only thing I didn't like as much was the Frijoles Charros which seemed to be canned. It appears to be a very simple, hole in the wall sort of place. It's a hidden treasure in disguise. Delicious food and friendly staff.
