Eggs with pieces of tortilla
Migas describes a breakfast dish made with egg and tortilla pieces. Hi-Ho lists it as both a taquito and a plated breakfast, so include the format when ordering.
Migas taquito · $3.36 | Migas breakfast plate · $8.56
Inside the Suicide taquito
A loaded breakfast combination
The Suicide taquito combines several familiar breakfast fillings in one tortilla. Local reporting describes egg, bacon, chorizo, potato, refried beans and cheese together—the reason it stands apart from a simple bacon-and-egg or potato-and-egg order.
Its name is not a reliable measure of heat. If you want something mild, ask about the filling and salsa separately. The listed taquito price is $3.54; drinks are separate.
Taquito or breakfast plate?
A taquito keeps the filling inside the tortilla. A breakfast plate puts the main dish and its listed sides on a plate, with tortillas alongside. Hi-Ho’s two-egg and migas plates list potatoes, beans and two tortillas.
Choose by the meal format you actually want, rather than treating a taquito as a smaller version of every plate. One migas taquito is listed at $3.36, while the migas breakfast plate is $8.56. The plate adds sides; it is not simply a more expensive taco.
Lunch plate versus à la carte
The lunch listings below add rice, beans and one tortilla to the named order. Compare the complete format before deciding which price fits your meal.
| Order | À la carte | Lunch plate | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three cheese enchiladas | $9.15 | $10.62 | $1.47 |
| Three beef enchiladas | $10.33 | $11.21 | $0.88 |
| Three beef tacos | $9.15 | $10.62 | $1.47 |
| Three chicken tacos | $9.15 | $10.62 | $1.47 |
Cheese filling can still have meat sauce
The published cheese-enchilada listing describes cheese inside and beef sauce on top. “Cheese enchiladas” therefore does not establish a meat-free meal. Ask about the sauce and beans if you have a dietary preference.
The mixed plate is its own order
The Mexican Lunch Plate ($11.21) combines one enchilada, one beef taco and one chalupa. That is different from ordering three enchiladas or three tacos. It suits someone who wants to try several Tex-Mex formats on one plate.

Hi-Ho’s connection to Selena
Hi-Ho is known beyond breakfast for its connection to Selena Quintanilla Pérez. A 2025 profile in The Bend describes the restaurant’s place in the city’s Tejano community and identifies Selena among its famous diners. Its appeal to visitors sits alongside a much longer routine of local breakfasts and lunches.
The Morgan Avenue story
The same profile traces Hi-Ho’s Morgan Avenue operation to 1981 and credits original owner Tommy Dalton with its name. It reports that the Garcia family took over in 2010 and maintained the restaurant’s established identity.
For someone planning a meal, that history points back to the menu: flour tortillas, breakfast taquitos, migas and carne guisada are central to the restaurant’s reputation.
Plan it as a breakfast or lunch stop
Hi-Ho’s commonly listed hours begin early and finish in the afternoon. Make it an earlier food stop in a Corpus Christi day rather than assuming it will be available for dinner.
If you are visiting for the Selena connection, keep time for an actual meal. The menu has both individual taquitos and sit-down plates, so you can choose according to your appetite and schedule.
