    Lines can get long, but very worth the wait.

    I have become somewhat of a regular at La Casita. Hands down, you won't find a better breakfast (or lunch) in the area. Everything -- and I mean everything - is cooked fresh and made to order. My personal favorites are the tortas. My wife and I eat here 4-6 times a week. The number could reach as high as 7 days a week if they were open Sunday's. Two brothers (Marco and Victor) run this restaurant and they both have a passion for quality and delicious taste. My typical order is a breakfast torta with bacon and extra bacon and a fajita torta. My wife and I share both so we get a half of each. Oh my gosh -- the food is so good -- the place never gets old. While it is good to call your order in ahead of time, it's best to eat the food onsite. The meal is hotter, fresher, and tastes even better. That's not to say it won't be good if you take it home. We have about a ten minute drive home -- the food is still hot when we get home. I highly recommend trying this place. You will not be disappointed! 5 stars - and since we go there most days of the week, I would definitely try this place again.

    What a nice surprise. My husband came across some nice reviews of this place - and at first I was skeptical... tacos from a gas station? Ehh... why the hell not! I am so glad we tried it. The tacos are delicious! We ordered the beef fajita, pastor, and chicken tacos and we're extremely impressed. The tacos are $2 each, cooked fresh, and made to order. They are stuffed full if meat - definitely worth the price. I can't wait to try more!

    After a friends recommendation I finally tried lunch here. I got 4 corn tacos- al pastor, fajita, asada, and Barbacoa. Oh my goodness! Reminded me of my younger days when I lived in south Houston and found these delicious taco trucks. The meat all tasted great, not overly greasy and no grizzle. Really tender and full of flavor. They top them with onions and cilantro and give you two salsas - red and green. Both salsas added an additional layer of flavor. He fills the tacos to the top, definitely no skimping on the meat. The staff is friendly and food comes out pretty quick. The store has 3 booths if you want to stay and eat. I got mine to go. I'm excited to return for a torta and breakfast.

    Thanks for the referral Kelley. The best tacos I have had in a long time. I was a little hesitate because it was in a Shell gas station. I had the taco platter. Corn tortillas. One with grilled chicken, barbacoa and pierna de cerdo(roasted pork). The roasted pork was so tender and the barbacoa was the best barbacoa I have tasted. Not fatty meat. Good favor. I was too full to eat the rice and beans. My husband had the carne asada torta. He said it was ok. He said he will try the Cuban torta next time. The Cuban torta is made with the slow cooked pork. Tacos are $2.00 for corn. I like places that serve with two corn tortillas for each taco. That means it won't fall apart when they over stuff it with meat. You just have to get pass the gas station atmosphere.

    Chorizo, egg, and cheese on flour and corn. Preferred flour, corn was store bought.

TLDR: Thar food, those ritas. This place has become my most recent go-to when that little voice says - "pssst....Dave....Dave....i know you hear me....you want fajitas." Admittedly, I hear that voice a lot. In any case, I usually order the fajitas. They give you a decent quantity that tastes great. The meet is tender and flavorful and those tortillas had me at hello. I love this stuff! My son elects to go for the cheese enchiladas. I don't have to ask him how much he likes them because is a super picky eater and this is the one place where he actually cleans his plate. The margaritas are solid as well and when you glance around the restaurant, you'll see them on most tables. This place is a well oiled machine. There are plenty of staff and they all work unison to bring drinks / chips / salsa / refills / orders / food -- and that food usually comes out before I can feel guilty for eating chips, salsa, and queso. I found this trick that works for me. Since I 100% of the time feel guilty for leaving the place feeling so full, I started parking on the other end of the parking lot. This allows my to burn off 2.7 calories of the food that just ate so I feel 2.7 percent less guilty. On a serious note - this place is the real deal. While some of my previous favorites have either closed down or gone downhill a bit - Julio's has remained strong. ¡Salud!

    I visited here during happy hour one day. I'd previously visited one of their other locations…read moreseveral years ago since I heard they had really great cheese enchiladas. On this visit I just wanted a drink and a small bite though. Upon walking in, the restaurant was nearly full and bustling. I spotted some seats over at the bar area in the back right so I sat there. There are happy hour specials ending at 6pm weekdays but the bartender told me about the daily specials and how the Natalitas margarita was stronger than the happy hour one for about the same price, so I chose that one. I ordered the large for $10.25 which comes in an 18 oz large glass. After looking at the menu, I settled on one of my typical orders at happy hour, the small (8 in) beef fajita quesadilla. This comes out after about 10 mins and it has the typical sour cream and guacamole on the sides. There is plenty there to be placed on all 8 of the quesadillas. This is a pretty standard tasting quesadilla, nothing really stood out about it. Same goes for the margarita. Keep in mind this is a discounted drink and made with pre-mixed sweet and sour from a large plastic bucket at the back of the bar area using a house tequila and a house orange liquor. I couldn't read the labels on either bottle since they turned them backward during my entire visit. Not sure if they do this on purpose or not. Either way, there are better quality margarita options obviously, using fresh juice they store in their refrigerator and a margarita that is actually shaken. The discounted ones are so discounted, they actually just pour the ingredients into an ice filled glass and ask you to stir it yourself when they place it in front of you. Either way, it is a convenient location and the prices of their entrees are reasonable compared to some other Mexican restaurants around town. I don't think I saw any dish above 18.99. Mondays look to be a good day to come for their Patron margarita special for around $10.99.

The service is always excellent. The food everything that I have had from here is so good all the time consistently. I have probably dined here at least 50 times in 16 years. And every single time it is so good. Best margaritas in town for sure. We also always get queso, the fajita is there so much that we used to get the fajitas for two and now we just got them for one because there's so much meat and the onions and peppers and you just can't go wrong at this place! Most importantly, get a margarita, the mango margarita I don't like frozen margaritas so I can get mine on the rocks usually rimmed with Tajin. The other cool thing is all of the servers expediters they help each other. I've been in the restaurant business a long time. Nothing in my eyes for front of the house then to have everybody working as a team. And if you stop someone, that's not your server and ask for something they just get it for you. Definitely try this place if you're in town. You won't regret it.
