From the outside, it may look like just another Houston gas station, but step inside and you'll find something much more flavorful.

Gordo Ninos is home to Chef Machete's unique cooking style, which he calls "Hou-Mex," a blend of Houston-inspired flavors and his Mexican roots.

One of the biggest standouts is his signature purple "lean sauce." The creamy, bright-purple sauce playfully nods to Houston culture and has become one of the restaurant's most recognizable creations.

In the video above, meet Chef Machete and his unique Houston restaurant, and learn how he went from selling $1 tacos outside his dad's mechanic shop to competing on a popular cooking reality TV show.

Gordo Ninos is located at 1419 NASA Road 1 in Houston.
