I loved my gordita. I only have a 30 min lunch break, so I suggest you call and order before you leave for break. And they have delicious tamarindo drinks. I've been craving real Hispanic/ Latino food since I moved from Houston, Texas. This is as good as it gets here in Ruston.

La mejor Comida de la Ciudad (the Best Deal in Town)!Authentic street tacos are only $2.50 each (with an even better deal on 5 tacos!) & they have an awesome self serve Salsa Bar to go with it! Salsa Fresca...Pico de Gallo... Red Chile (?!)...Avocado Salsa,..diced Onions, Cilantro & Limes!Service is a bit slow so be prepared to wait 15 minutes. Servers are all friendly & cheerful!Atmosphere takes me straight back home to the border of Mexico. Signs in Spanish & everything you could need at the Mercado, from ripe Mangos & Queso Fresco to Boots & Sombreros.Sorry, no Mariachi Band (thankfully)!

Food is fantastic! Everything I had was good, but especially the carnitas. Even my youngest, who is pretty picky, gave an unprompted "this is delicious!!" We will be going back and going often.

Love the authenticity of the place with a really hopeful option for Mexican breads... Unfortunately the bin containing the bread had flies in and around it . Their guacamole was amazing!!!

Went during their listed hours . Sat down and waited for 15 minutes before I had to ask if they were even open since no on attended to us . Menu said they were open as well and the store it’s conjoined with was open but no one said anything . No signs saying it was closed either

It's a really cute Hondurian, local, "hole in the wall" spot. There's a grocery/retail store on the other side, but the restaurant part is quiet whenever I go in. If you know Spanish that's a huge plus, but the waitress is always nice and we find a way to communicate and watch the tele while we wait for our food. The energy is like being at home. Mi Casa = my home. I ordered the Sope and my mom ordered the tamale plate. The plantanos con crema is soooo good. It's very fulfilling. And I love plantains.
If you have never been to Mexico, you don't have to drive far! And, you don't need a passport! Just $6 & a taste for adventure.?I had lunch here with my son, who just moved a 1/2 mile away, & I have a feeling he will eat there often.Plenty of vegetatian options, & I chose a potato & veggie taco that was delicious! So much to choose from on the menu, & a fabuloso salsa bar, self serve! The gift & grocery store has everything, & all straight from Mexico! My favorite, the leather boots & varied piñatas! Vámonos y comamos!

A new favorite! The baleadas were excellent (like a quesadilla meets a gordita). The bread was so fresh and were well filled with beans, cheese, eggs, meat, cream, and avocado slices. Queso blanco dip was perfectly spicy as also were their 4 salsas. Will definitely be back. (The breakfast menu looked amazing too.)

This place is a true gem! They serve baleadas that are super soft and tasty along with pupusas, which are hard to find in the area. Definitely will be coming back to this place ? I didn't get the chance to take a pic of the baleadas, because I ate them once I got them ?

This was a very good authentic hole in the wall. All the different salsas were good. It took some time as I believe they were short staffed that day. But our waitress so so nice and very attentive. I'd say check it out.
