A full-service eatery (with bar) 1983 Mexi-Cafe is a step up from the multitude of taquerias that…read moredot the map here. The staff is friendly and attentive, the restaurant is clean and spacious and the food brings the flavor. I got beef fajitas for one to see if they're chewy or not and was pleasantly surprised at the texture and flavor of the beef. The pico provided wasn't overly hot and added to the fajita burrito once put on the tortillas. And (pet peeve) the fluffy spanish rice was NOT in the shape of an inverted bowl. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. My wife got the Flaco's Combo with carne guisada and beef enchiladas. She says the beef in the enchiladas had a seasoning she's not familiar with and left her wishing she'd ordered breakfast instead. Except for a couple of pieces that were very gristly, the carne guisada was pretty good. Overall, she wasn't as happy as I was. She says next time it's breakfast for her. If you're in the area, definitely check out 1983...pretty good.

Two foodies from Houston,…read more We were in Corpus Christi and of course we were hungry. Restaurant is in an older building. However, everyone was welcoming and friendly. We ordered Chicken Flautas (chicken rolled up in a corn tortilla that is then fried) and Carne Guisada (stewed beef) which came with fresh flour tortillas (with a browning ingredient- no raw looking tortillas) with two Mexican cokes. While it was not to our liking, everyone had different taste buds. Also, the restaurant did have a good share of customers. Sorry, I didn't take pictures. Give it a try for yourself and let us know which dishes you tired and your thoughts. Happy Eating!

The nachos were thinly covered with refried beans and then covered with cheese. You would pick up a nacho and cover with whatever you like. Prior to the Supreme Nachos I had their complimentary nachos and salsa. The salsa is homemade in their restaurant and it is the best salsa I have ever had. Now you gotta love some heat and it is there but the taste with the warm nacho to me is very refreshing. If you are totally against the heat do not try it but if you are the adventurer try it. First dip the nacho in the salsa like you would dip your toe in the water prior to swimming. If it feels good go for it. For me it tasted so good I would have loved to have placed some salsa on the Supreme Nachos. This is my first trip to Taqueria Almeida 3 but not my last trip for not only do I say the food is excellent but I heard other customers say that as well to their lunch friends. The service was very nice and welcoming. The ambiance was well rather quiet as their about twelve people dining with more concentration on tasting the delicious food served than on talking . Well till next time. Take care.

Taqueria Almeida is definitely a small hole in the wall type spot with a more low key atmosphere…read more It was a bit dark inside and could honestly use some better lighting, but the service was good and our food came out pretty quickly. We started with chips and salsa I just wish they gave a little more. The salsa had good flavor, but if you like spice, don't expect much heat because it was pretty mild. We ordered six tacos on corn tortillas. The tacos themselves were a decent size and overall tasted really good, but at $4.50 each, the pricing felt a little steep for tacos. The standout for me was the barbacoa really flavorful and tender. The carne asada and carnitas were both solid choices too. We also tried a guisado taco, which was missing a bit of flavor. Overall, the tacos were enjoyable and the quality of the meat was definitely there. My biggest issue was the price point and the salsa lacking spice and flavor depth for the tacos. Still, if I'm back in the area, I'd come back and give it another shot. I'd rate it 4 stars.

Pro tip: ask for the full selection of house made hot sauces - all different and delicious. The refried beans were very bacon-y too. If you like tongue, the lengua burrito was good.
