Mercedes Mexican Foods

I stopped here on the way to the airport for breakfast tacos to eat on the way. I went with the egg and chorizo and a bacon and egg. Both were really tasty but the chorizo one was the winner of the two.
Quick friendly service they operate out of the rear of the Texaco c-​store. Make sure you get a side of the hot sauce. It’s a nice spicy flavorful kick

I was very skeptical because the only reviews were all five star and no pictures. When I came inside I was greeted by a very friendly convenience store clerk and then I proceeded towards the back where the little restaurant is located. Mercedes greeted me and helped me pick out what I wanted, she then wrote my order down on a piece of paper and I took that piece of paper up to the register to pay. She was doing the cooking as well as attending the counter and serving at the tables, she runs the entire show and it makes you feel like you are a guest in her home. I like the fact that you can pay with credit cards unlike my other favorite EaDo taqueria. I don’t expect this level of friendly employees at a gas station but I was pleasantly surprised that she brought my food out to me and even the convenient store attendant walked back to check on me while he was attending to his other tasks. Some of the restaurants that I have eaten aren’t as friendly as this wonderful little place.
I have been extensively searching for the best breakfast tacos in EaDo and this place is my new top pick out a dozen other taquerias in the area. You can tell the tortillas are very fresh and the tacos are only $ 1.50 each which is a pretty good price for the amazing flavor. They had two choices a breakfast taco, potato and egg, and chorizo and egg so I got two of each. The tacos have great flavor but two will not fill you up, I do recommend getting four. The salsa definitely tasted homemade had a good kick to it. I ate two of the tacos at the restaurant and took to home, and I think my favorite was the chorizo but I definitely love the potato and egg also. I definitely will be coming back here as my new favorite spot for breakfast tacos and also to try the lunch options.

Best food in town!!! Home cooking done right!!!

I’ve been looking for real deal Mexican food, and low and behold I found it in this corner store. Homemade tortillas and great service. I’m definitely coming back.

This is a gem. Flagged earlier this year by Allison Cook in Houston Chron.
Sits in the back of a Texaco station. Mercedes is super friendly and recently cooked at Irma’s. She and two helpers are churning out EXCELLENT Mexican fare at cheap prices.
Lunch for 2 with tip was $ 25. A combo lunch is $ 7.99 — tacos (tortillas made there), chili relleno, and WONDERFUL beans and rice. We started with her freshly made chips and guacamole. Superb.
About 10 minutes east of downtown. Most people were doing carry out but there is seating for about 14 people at 5 tables.
This is WORTH a visit (or two)!!
