    $2 extra for this.
    Klin L.

    This was so bad. It literally tasted rotten. Overpriced "beef fajita" quesadilla is the thin cheap kind even though they charge $2 extra for it. It's also on a pretty small tortilla so it's not even a good size. Comes with rice and beans but no pico or toppings. The chicken fajita taco came with only chicken and a slice of American cheese, not kidding. The chicken is what tasted rotten and the texture was like canned chicken, like it just fell apart in a weird way and it tasted horrible. My son had a soggy grilled cheese sandwich. The fries were ok, so there's that. Seriously some of the worst Mexican food I've had in corpus. Some of the worst food in general.

    Food is always Delicious, and hot! We love this restaurant, close to the Shoreline too. Will be back again. :)

    Great TexMex, especially the Carne Gusada!!! We will return from San Antonio! Charro beans were delicious as well!

    Just came down from Dallas Tx to visit my mom and she brought the family here to eat. The server and drinks were great but the food was very disappointing. We all left a good portion on our plates and just finished our drinks and left.

    The nachos with ground beef. Watery because the lettuce used was not dried off well.

    I ordered Chipotle chicken First I ordered the homemade flour tortillas with the plate, they were thick and underwhelming. Then I switched to the homemade corn, they were also thick and not any good The rice tasted old and reheated several times The chicken had a hint of chipotle taste but not spicy. The green peppers and onions were the freshest best part

    Spicy Shrimp Dish - *WARNING* SUPER SPICY

    Great food at Cancun. It's the old Goosefeathers building if you haven't been on that side of town in awhile. We had a huge party, they catered it well, one server and she knocked it out. The food came out super fast and was above average for mexican food in Corpus Christi. Clean restaurant, great margaritas and decent prices. Would come back here again! The tortilla soup is excellent and comes with all the fixins!

    Food was okay. Menudo was a little bland. That's all I remember, as sadly I was not impressed.

    I've been here a handful of times…read more Visit 1: carne guisada plate ordered through the drive-thru, delicious and love convenience. Visit 2: dined in and ordered carne asada plate, delicious. Visit 3: got breakfast thru the drive thru, chilaquiles with egg mixed in, no salsa ranchera They made the corn tortilla chips very soggy and there were ONIONS which I do not like and which was not disclosed, only ate a quarter or the top layer of the plate. Visit 4: was sick with vomiting so got tortilla soup. Chicken was cooked but not tenderized. I liked the one from Cancun's better. Visit 5: brought hubby here. He commented that carne guisada was overcooked, I tasted and agreed. I put this place to the true test by ordering menudo... and they failed. Menudo tasted like they didn't wash tripas after parboiling them. Each bite was initially good follow up by an uncomfortable, dirty aftertaste. My verdict: not bad, just mid. Maybe some issues with quality control. I'll be back to try the seafood though.

    This place came HIGHLY recommended to us from my family. They said this is where you get authentic…read moreMexican cuisine. As a vegan, that made me excited because actual Mexican food usually has less cheese and can be made vegan. The business is quaint. There was a friendly hostess to welcome us in and our server was very hospitable. We ordered the chile relleno without cheese, zucchini in pasilla pepper sauce, and mole verde off the vegetarian options on the menu. We also enjoyed guacamole and chips. Our server was happy to accommodate our vegan modifications and it was really easy to communicate with him. The flavors are just WOW! Hands down the best guacamole of my life. The sauces are vibrant and rich. Everything tasted so fresh. And the prices for this quality of food cannot be beat. My husband and I literally licked sauce off the plates to make sure we did not miss one ounce of that authentic Mexican flavor. This place is top of our list of businesses to visit next time we are in town visiting family. We had an incredible experience and cannot wait to continue to explore the vegetarian menu options.

I'm not a professional food critic, but I do know seasoning, regional Mexican flavors, and what well‑prepared food should taste like -- and this just wasn't it for us. The restaurant didn't feel well-kept, and it appeared that only one server and one cook were working, plus we and another couple were the only ones there. We were served chips and salsa to start. The salsa, a taquera‑style orange sauce, was actually the best part of the meal. The chips, however, were extremely hard, not fresh, and definitely not warm. They looked house‑made, but whatever they were fried in made them almost inedible. I ordered the ribeye street tacos, and the steak was overcooked, had an odd taste, and wasn't enjoyable. I asked for extra cilantro and onions, which didn't happen, and the chimichurri they brought out was basically oil with a few seasonings floating in it. I almost complimented the Dr Pepper because it had a unique sweetness -- until I realized why. The red glass had visible staining on the inside. When I wiped the rim with my napkin, it came off dirty. They also don't offer straws, so whatever residue was in that glass is what you end up drinking. Between the food quality, the cleanliness concerns, and the overall condition of the restaurant, this was a no for us. How this place has earned such high mentions is honestly beyond me.

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere and a beautifully designed space that made for the perfect date spot!

For our main course, we shared the Tacos de Asada and the Birria Lunch Special. Not only was the lunch special a great value, but it also came with some of the best beans I've had in a while-officially my new favorite!

The flavors were rich, bold, and layered in a way that kept surprising me with every bite. The rice was perfectly fluffy and packed with flavor--honestly, it was almost as good as my mom's, and that's saying something! The charro beans had just the right amount of spice and were absolutely delicious. Even the presentation was impressive; every plate looked as good as it tasted. Huge compliments to the chef and the entire team for creating such an amazing dining experience. Great food, great value, and wonderful service.
