Mexican street food served inside a restaurant in the United States. What's not to love? The building is a bit worn, but the food and service are always so good!!! The price is right too. They serve lots of things, but my favorite order is the bistec tacos. $5.50 gets you a plate of 6 little, soft-corn-tortilla tacos topped with all the fixin's - avocado, cilantro and white cheese with a side of grilled onions. The plate comes with a cup of very tasty charro beans and is served with chips, pico, limes and green sauce.
There are plenty of other tacquerias in the area and some of them serve comparable food, but this place also includes the sides (charro beans, chips) and they serve excellent aguas frescas. Aguas frescas are the lovely fruit drinks like they serve on the streets of Mexico, only here you don't have to worry about drinking the water. Horchata (sweetened, cinnamon-spiced, rice-milk) and limonada are my favorites although the others (pineapple and cantaloupe) are quite good as well. The pineapple is not overly sweet.
Kikis is definitely a must-try place if you are in the area!!!! If you can't make it to this location then try one of the others - Brownsville, San Benito or Port Isabel.
