    Bacon wrapped shrimp and barbacoa on the side!
    Sonia J.

    Great little Mexican food joint! Had the bacon wrapped shrimp with a side of barbacoa. Yes I'm keto this was perfect! Food was amazing, and the waitress was very accommodating . She checked on me to make sure everything was good and kept my ice tea filled!

    I am always hesitant to give a place 5 stars but if I could give 4.5 this would be good. I come to corpus for work a lot and this place has hands down the best pulled chicken mini tacos I've had in south Texas (and I've tried a lot). They're consistent. I've come here for a couple of years and generally get the same waitress. Service is good. I like the salsa but I could see where some would find it too salty and peppery but that's just how I like it. This place reminds me of home cooking nothing fancy no frills

    I found his place by looking up Mexican food on yelp and was not disappointed! We were visiting from San Antonio and I really wanted my Mexican seafood fix before heading back home. I had the seafood soup and it really hit the spot. I believe it had shrimp, crab legs, octopus, squid, mussels, clams, and fish. Our waitress was really friendly and suggested the soup instead of my first choice which was the shrimp soup. Once we got there it started to get really packed and she took care of the whole front dinning room by herself, but was still very friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend this place.

    Affordable brunch with friendly service staff. The breakfast tacos are good. They have a good parking space.

    I've driven by this place before, but I always missed seeing them open. The website says they are…read moreclosed on Mondays but now they're open every day including breakfast apparently. . I had the jaeger schnitzel with the German potato salad and the red cabbage, and it was fantastic. It's just good old-fashioned nicely done German food. Lovely baked goods too. But I only took home a homemade pretzel. I'll be going back!!

    With a 4.4 rating I would think our visit would be great. However there were just too many things…read morethat screamed not good. I admit I had heard they're breakfast and lunch are great. We thought we would visit for dinner at about 6 pm . Place was totally empty when we arrived; a very wait person say us and very nicely waited on us throughout. I had the two bratwurst with red cabbage and German potatoe salad . Now usually to me , bratwurst should be full juicy sausages of a considerable size . What I got was a little better than two hot dogs that were cut in two length wise. The potato salad was somewhat greasy and not too remarkable at all. The red cabbage was only passable. The whole thing seemed like it was warmed up from lunch , in that it came out surprisingly quickly and was tepid rather than hot. Microwaved maybe even. My partner had pork schnitzel, spaetzal and sauerkraut. The snitzel seemed ok though tepid . The serving size though was somewhat smaller than what their online pic showed but my wife said that she didn't need anything bigger . My wife said the spaetzal was good though I tasted it and thought it seemed warmed up. The oddest thing is that the sauerkraut was mixed up with mashed potatoes. The texture was weird and it was missing the tanginess of sauerkraut and , again, tasted warmed up. Is this a way to "stretch" sauerkraut of all things? The problem is they just started dinner service I guess in the last two weeks according to our server . On top of all this it was exorbitantly priced . Whereas I might visit during breakfast, I may not fit dinner for a while to where they can build a better experience. The waitress was very nice and accommodating.
