    House specialty

    I love this place. Two meats on the menu in a limited offering of tacos, gringas, and something else that I can't remember right now. Some people love it when the restaurant offers a limitless menu of options. My opinion is, offer only what you're good at making. La Curva does that by keeping a simple menu of carne and al pastor which are both friggin amazing. There are giant molcajetes filled with salsas in the entrance I addition to the red and green salsas found on the tables. Two people can easily gut stuffed to the gills here for under $20. Enjoy!

    This is the first time my husband and I have visited this taco shop. Very good service. The tacos were good but they were be better if the tortilla would have been bathed in oil. For my taste, the sauces lacked a little more spiciness they also have enchiladas. I think that next time I will return to try the enchiladas to see if my review changes. the atmosphere is casual the place is clean

    I really love coming here because it feels like home. First, I love coming here exclusively for their papa asada. It is one of the best I have had in the RGV. Everytime I come back I need to come to la curva for their papa. They put mexican cream and butter so it's super creamy!! Reminds me of the ones I had from RB. The tacos are good but I don't really like that the meat has a lot of fat in it. This is definitely a personal preference, but it's just the way I prefer them. The meat was a little chewy too but the flavor of it was really good. Their green salsa is also not my favorite but I do love their beans. The beans are nice and light, just how my mom makes them at home!

    We really enjoyed our tacos here. We liked the RB which have avocado and and cheese. We particularly liked that they used homemade tortillas. The potato was good too. The only thing we didn't really like were the beans.

    Love these tacos, I used to live near the one by the university in mission and just discovered this location in mission. The RB are my go to but their pastor tacos are really good. They have the best papa especiales and do not skimp on meat, cheese, or crema. Not sure if you want Flour or corn tortillas? either choice is great and they are very authentic and taste delicious. The salsas are spicy and tasty and the cup of beans are the best around!

    Had the tacos RB partner had tacos mix and the papa asada on the side. It's great that they have a drive thru but the waiting spot is in the back and they aren't very clear so just incase any ones wondering it was our first time. Everything was great just the beans had a burnt taste.

    Enchiladas

    Really great food, friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend a bigger menu but if it's not broke don't fix it, right?

    Drive thru service is insanely slow, which merits a lower rating. Seriously they are slower than El Pato.

    Pro #1: Meat is sooooooo tender. I wish it had more seasoning ... even if it was salt nonetheless…read moreit was good! Con #1: This restaurant is not environmentally conscious. Other than the meal, everything is served on styrofoam, utensils are plastic and cups are bad fast food plastic qualify. Con # 2: I asked the waitress if they had unsweet tea and pink packet sweetener. I asked about the pink packets 3 times and she said yes. She came back with yellow packets. I asked if they had pink packets and she said no. No to her. Con # 3: There are no free refills. I ordered two unsweet teas and the girl brought me two unsweet teas with yellow packets. So I asked for a sweet teas. They charged me for three Aqua Frescas. Charged $15. Hell no. Meh. Pass on a second visit.

    Another recent discovery here in Mission, TX. This small restaurant is off the main road in a strip…read moremall and seats maybe 40-50 people. The menu is simple but offers some variety. We were served a small plate with warm, crisp tortilla chips that were sprinkled with a seasoned powder (not Tajin) that was pretty salty. I shook off the powder as it made them too salty, even for my tastes. The greenish salsa was also a little salty but VERY TASTY and had a little kick. From where we were seated I observed the cook blackening the tomatillos on a grill in the kitchen. These were the backbone of this salsa. If it weren't quite so salty I'd be raving about them. I ordered a platter with three main items - Lonches, Sincronizada and Street tacos. All three items must be filled with the same protein, so I chose Birria. Other choices include pollo, bistek, trompo and fajita. The birria was nice and juicy and well seasoned. The Lonches were larger pieces of bread than I'm accustomed to finding, especially in Progresso, where they are quite popular. They were also toasted it seemed instead of being soft and pillowy. The street tacos were excellent with toppings of red onion and cilantro. The Sincronizada was something I'd never eaten before and was a smaller version of the one they serve as a main course. It was not the traditional dish which comes with slices of ham, but it was pretty good filled with birria. Charro beans were also served if I remember correctly. I ate one of the lonches, one of the tacos (the other I gave to my son) and the Sincronizada and was stuffed; leftovers for a later meal. The wife ordered the full version of a Sincronizada filled with pollo (chicken) and wasn't able to even finish half of it. It was huge! They brought us two bottles of salsa - a green salsa and a reddish/orange salsa. Both were pretty hot by my standards and the reddish one would absolutely hurt you if you added too much. So... a word to the wise... caution advised. They were quite tasty. All in all we will come back. I particularly want to try out some of their other proteins and their fajitas.

    The RGV has many taquerías, most offering the same items on the menu. Few stand out as exceptional…read more When I saw that Ana Liz Taquería won the James Beard Award, my expectations were high, and with this visit they won my admiration. Ana Liz Taquería is located a few blocks north of Expressway 83 in Mission on the west side of Conway. Parking in the front is quite limited, but there is additional parking in the back. I found the taquería small but bright, clean, and pleasant inside. I was welcomed as I entered by one of the several friendly employees who handed me a menu (English on one side, Spanish on the other). She informed me of the protocol: order and pay at the window, then I'd be given a number to place at my table, and my order would be brought to me. The menu has many entrees that sounded wonderful: various kinds of tacos, tostadas, flautas, quesadillas, botanas, and other antojitos. I ordered the chile relleno taco, the alambre taco, and vampiro, all with fajita meat. I thought the chile relleno taco would be my favorite because I love any kind of chile relleno. While I did absolutely love it, I was captivated by the deliciousness of the fajita vampiro which includes melted cheese, guacamole, juicy fajita chunks, and pico de gallo... oh my! It was heavenly! One of the things that stood out to me was that the beef was not over-cooked as most taquerías do... This was cooked to perfection, still juicy, and well seasoned. To accompany the food, the server brought out an assortment of salsas, some fresh Mexican style cream, and some lime. I tried all the salsas except for one ( salsa macha). They were all excellent and ranged from mild to medium spiciness. Something else worth noting is the import their corn, and make their own tortillas. The vampiro was made with blue Mexican corn. For drinks, I ordered the limonada which they provide freshly bottled with a glass of ice. It was a perfect blend. Some reviewers mentioned the price... yes. The prices are higher here than at most taquerías. However, considering the exceptional quality, flavor, and service, AND that they are a James Beard Award winning establishment... it is well worth it. Ana Liz Taquería is 20 miles away from where I live, but I will definitely be back when I want some extra special Mexican tacos!

    The hands-down best taco restaurant I've ever been to (including taquerias I've been to in Mexico…read moreand in Texas' biggest cities). The vampiros are so insanely delicious, I regret not filling up on them when I order anything else. Their tortillas and fajita are really good too. The restaurant itself is nothing crazy, very mom and pop, and the parking is a tough situation. Very crowded lot. Service is also not phenomenal but the food is absolutely delicious! One feature of their service I'd love for them to fix: when you order, you wait in line at a window before being seated. If you decide later you want a single extra taco, you have to go get back in line AND they take just as long as they took to bring your food originally so if you don't order something initially, it'll take so long to get it after the fact that you'll wish you just left. Customers who are already seated should be able to order with waitstaff and not wait in line again for twenty minutes. That does not make sense.
