Houston, we still have breakfast tacos

Nice try, Ike. Budjoo kent keep de brown down, meng. Still here, Still strong.










Reports that the entire second story of the home/corner restaurant/store which is home to Houston's best yes, BEST (subjectively and quantitavely) breakfast tacos/burritos were overblown. See, it's still there.





















Turns out the top floor is only severly damaged. Which is terrible, but not the worst news ever. they are still open for business, and still have the best product out there. My full belly and content palate agree, as do those of my co-workers. It'll be rough for them as they re-build, they have taken a big hit, but they're still kicking, and really do still make the best breakfast taco out there. Ike took a bite outta H-town, and a bite outta Porras, but they both are still kickin'!





















See? I took about 4 bites outta this before I remembered it needed to be shared with the world. The tortillas are hand made on site, and are nothing short of fantastic. The salsa is made in house, and the fillings are simple and delicious. This one was bacon and egg.






















They also make Mexican style sweet bread there. And have wood carvings of Betty Boop and the Virgin Mary, as well as Jesus, of course.

Chronicle review - which if you read, you'll see I very much agree with and pretty much plagiarized 'cept for the crepe thin tortilla part. the reviwer musta been comparing them with central american tortillas, which can be more like patties of cornmeal masa. But that's just semantics. This place definitely is 'la mera Houston'. A belly filling, mouthwatering slice of it.


maybe some if this will become a metaphor for the economic situation of our fair country... who knows?

Just make sure yo get to try this place if you ever happen upon Houston.

It was for real, y'all.
