    I wanted Tex mex and probably got a more authentic Mexican food experience, cuz they had beans on top of their cheese enchiladas. Apparently it's how Chepa grew up eating them. I tried several dishes including the fish tacos, nachos, cheese enchiladas, flautas and the chimichanga. Hands down, my fave was the chimichanga...usually not a fan but it was basically a fried gigantic burrito filled with the juiciest carne asada meat. I was in pure heaven. It was so good, we went back the next day so I could eat the chimichanga to myself. I devoured it like it was my last meal on earth. I'd go back and eat that dish daily. Their chips and salsa are also really good. The chips are light and airy and the salsa was also delicious. Service was 5/5

    Molcajete
    Serene C.

    I've never had molcajete before and now I'm a fan cause of this place! It was enough for two of us and we even had some leftovers! The meats are tasty and I love the flavors in this dish. Service is good and the ambiance is nice too. Overall a great place for Mexican food based off what we got. Chips are really good too!

    I asked our hotel for a recommendation for Mexican food, and the staff suggested this spot, calling it one of the best in the area. They weren't wrong. I'd come back to Texas just to eat here again. The restaurant was small and quaint, creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The service was outstanding--I never once had to ask for a refill. And the food? Absolutely mouthwatering. Every bite was bursting with flavor. A truly unforgettable dining experience.

    Diablo margarita super good!
    Amanda R.

    I actually came over here to eat Asian food and noticed this restaurant at the end of the building. What an incredible find! The food and service is really good. One of those hole in the wall places you have to stumble upon by accident! The food I was served was really good! My first visit and I had the spinach and chicken enchiladas. I chose a great item. Wow! So much fresh spinach and nice chunks of shredded chicken. Could not have been better for a first time visit. My server was Bryan, and he's an impressive server. His suggestions were spot on. Grateful, for his honest input. One of those times that straight honesty rewarded us both! I wasn't going to have a drink. I changed my mind. I had the Diablo. Great pick for me. I did the frozen vs the over ice per my waiter. It had two perfectly placed frozen sliced jalapeño's placed on top. Plus, I ate them and they were super good! Glad I changed my mind and did something different. Their salsa is not good. Actually, it's horrible. It's from a can. All canned tomatoes with some jalapeños?? and dried spices tossed in. This place would be perfect if they changed their salsa recipe. It's pretty bad. Considering, everything else is really good. Not sure why they would use a short cut on the item every one tastes first at the restaurant. Makes no sense. This business would certainly benefit from a redo on the salsa. It's probably the worst sauce I've ever eaten. Otherwise, this place would be perfect!! July 2024

    The food and service were excellent. We had cabin fever and were happy that the restaurant was open. The table side guacamole was very good. Thanks for being open.

    What a surprising find in this shopping center! We saw some great reviews and decided to give it a try. This is very authentic Mexican food. We sampled lots on their appetizer platter. The flautas were my favorite - and usually I'm not much of a flautas fan. Service was very attentive and the menu had lots of options!

    Kids chicken and French fries

    My son insisted we post a picture of the chicken and French fries. In all seriousness, we come here almost every other week. Great service, good and margaritas.

    Great new spot! Delicious food. Great service. Liked the music. Had two enchiladas that tasted authentic.

    What a great find! While you can't really see it from the road as it sits back in a strip mall, it is SO worth the search. We wanted something different than the average menu around here, and while they offer a lot of standards, the Molcajete is absolutely a knock-your-socks-off experience. The lava rock was piled high with beef, chick, shrimp, peppers, onions, sauce, and more. we got plenty or tortillas to go with it as well. The appetizer sampler was huge, and we took well over half our food home as there were only two of us. The dining room is exactly what you'd expect in a strip mall. That said, the service is exceptional, and everyone working there appeared to help out each other. It's a true find on McDermott Road, and we will be back sooner rather than later.

    Tres Leches
    Joe R.

    First off, I know my internal barometer on price verses quality has not adjusted to the inflating prices, so my reviews might be harsher than usual. One thing I want to point out though, which is very strange, is that the appetizers are more expensive than the dinners, I don't know if I've ever seen this in a restaurant. The guacamole is $13.50 which is more than even fine dining Mexican restaurants, the quesadilla is $11, the shrimp cocktail is $17.50, so I'm not sure what's going on there, but they think very highly of their appetizers. It is a comfortable restaurant, nice ambience and good service. I ordered a fajita beef burrito and a sangria. The sangria was very good, not too sweet. They have a sangria swirl which is a frozen sangria, that might be sweeter for those who want that. That said, it was $10.50 which is way more pricey than I expected. The burrito was dry, I ordered the fajita beef which made it $15.50, but it didn't have a lot of beef in it, typical, mostly rice and beans. The tortilla was lukewarm, and once it got colder it became very stiff. The beef was actually really good, so maybe the fajitas are the way to go at this restaurant. The salsa here is not very flavorful, tomatoey, I asked for a hot sauce which was a green sauce, hoping it would bring more flavor with the heat, but it did not. I had the Tres Leches which was good, but dry. A Tres Leches should be soaked with milk, this one is more like a regular cake than a Tres Leches. Good, but not worth the calories. In summary, it had a nice ambience and good service, but the food was lacking. This place has good reviews so maybe the fajitas are amazing, or some other meal, or it's just the margaritas, but their burrito at $16 was far inferior to a burrito I get at a hole in a wall Mexican place. The burrito was dry,

    Chicken fajitas with veggies well done (per request)
    Sam B.

    Chicken Fajitas: chicken was a little overcooked but the well done veggies were as requested. The fajita setup was fresh and no negatives. The sour cream chicken enchiladas were spot on. Taste was good and sour cream sauce also solid. They added chopped jalapeños on top when requested at no charge. Service was attentive and restrooms were very clean. Overall restaurant was also clean and inviting. One last note. The guacamole on the setup and pico de gallo were very fresh and tasty.

    Cilantro lime rice, Al Pastore chicken, grilled veggies, corn veggies, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce!

    I love it when they put the exact right portion of the food... The people were kind and nice. She knew exactly how to top it off! Thank you.

    Shrimp bruschetta(something like that) mouthwatering good!!!!

    The Nutty Creation Is the One to Order…read more Elke's Market Cafe is a cozy, approachable spot that does simple things well. The standout for me is Elke's Nutty Creation, and now that I know what's in it, it makes complete sense why it's so good. The combination of pecan cheddar spread, bacon, candied jalapeños, and peach preserves on toasted molasses wheat bread hits that perfect sweet-savory balance. It's rich without being heavy, a little sweet, a little salty, and just enough heat to keep it interesting. One of those sandwiches that sounds unusual, but works surprisingly well. The café itself has a relaxed, welcoming feel, and service is friendly and easygoing. A great spot for a casual lunch when you want something comforting, but a little different. If you're unsure what to order, the Nutty Creation is absolutely worth trying.

    Updated review: 2/23/26…read more FOOD: The food here is always consistently good & has been over the years. The ownership changed hands after the pandemic, but the quality of the food has remained unchanged. It is a great place to go for just about anything. I especially love the soups and sandwiches. The only deduction in a star is I wish they had the chicken & wild rice consistently more available on the market side and a few more dessert offerings in the restaurant. All they have is lemon bars, cookies, banana pudding. I would like to see a daily pie special. ATMOSPHERE: This is a solid place, clean, good for kids, families, ok for a first date and coffee--definitely not romantic. It is always clean and neat. SERVICE: You order at the register and they bring it out to you, but it is pretty low-key. All team members are great. TIP: Pick up a freezer meal when you leave. Their casseroles and dips are great for emergencies or a night off.

The mango tea was surprisingly good, however, the ice machine wasn't working, making it hard to get a properly chilled drink. One of the biggest disappointments was the cleanliness--most tables needed to be bussed, and at 2 p.m., it was difficult to find seating. With an empty restaurant and dirty tables. The patron might have to clear the table themselves simply to find a spot to sit. Despite that, I will return because the atmosphere is genuinely pleasant. The best part of dining here is how cool and comfortable the restaurant feels--great temperature for a relaxing meal. If I was a bum, I'd pay to drink tea and stay here all day. It's awesome! Thanks for keeping it cool. I do appreciate! I'll return for a salad which is delicious! July 31, 2025

Super friendly staff. They took our order with a smile, happily gave me a sample of their new pickle pasta (yes, I was that person), and actually checked in to make sure we liked our food.

My only issue was the Chicken Pot Pie soup was lukewarm by the time I got it delivered from DoorDash so that may be due to the driver and not necessarily the restaurant. The salad had good portions of all the goodies like ham, turkey, tomatoes, egg, cheese etc. And I am a big Ranch dressing fan and their dressing was top notch and I wish I had more of it. I will definitely order from this restaurant again very soon since they have so many other food options to choose from.
