    Cheese enchiladas with beans

    A Timeless Favorite My family and I have been going to Linda's Mexican Restaurant for over 20 years, and it has never disappointed. Every visit feels like eating in my grandma's kitchen--the food is always authentic, flavorful, and consistent. The flour tortillas are top-notch--thick, flavorful, and leave a slight, satisfying residue on your hands. But my personal favorite is the corn tortillas. Unlike the usual small ones you find elsewhere, these are the same size and weight as the flour, making every bite more satisfying. The pricing is incredibly reasonable. For four plates and drinks, we paid just $47--a great deal considering the quality and portions. Even after moving away from Corpus 10 years ago, Linda's remains a must-visit whenever I'm back home, even if it's just a quick stop at the drive-thru. If you're looking for hot, flavorful, and fast Mexican food at a great price, Linda's is the place to go. Highly recommended!

    Traveling to Corpus Christi for work and it was recommended to check this local Mexican place out for dinner. I have already been twice! This place is fantastic and extremely cheap. This is by no means a fancy Mexican restaurant. It's extremely old and most of the menu items you pick from photos. Each time I have gotten the taco plate that comes with rice and beans. The portions and quality of food have to be the best Mexican I've had in quite some time. If you are in the Corpus area, I'd highly recommend stopping in here for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

    Visiting from San Antonio, we enjoy our lunch. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

    Puffy taco

    Another great find thanks to Yelp reviews. Ordered the puffy tacos and they were delicious. Brother ordered Carne Asada and he loved, too. His meal came with hand made tortillas and boracho beans that were just as tasty.

    Breakfast taco

    Stopped here for a breakfast taco and I wasn't disappointed. The tortilla was thick soft and chewy with a generous amount of soft scrambled eggs and beans. The fresh green salsa was 2/10 spicy but flavorful and I need the 2 they gave me to balance the amount of filling.

    Guisada y juevos y papas..homemade tortillas..all delicious, hot & fresh food.

    Our bellies were happy when we left! Their portion sizes are big & it's reasonably priced! Gem of a spot

    Pancakes

    Wonderfully authentic Mexican food! First time trying cactus, surprisingly good. We order chicken fajitas and enchiladas both good portion sizes and absolutely delicious. Also ordered their pancakes, best ones so far!

    Carne al pastor
    Jason S.

    What a great find while we were in Corpus. The staff was extremely nice the moment I walked through the door. I ordered the carne al pastor. Normally I'm not one who leaves food on his plate but the portion size was huge. I enjoyed the flavor of everything from the pastor to the fresh tortillas they bring you. My girlfriend couldn't help but steal from my plate because my meal was so good!

    Menudo and Combination plate were good!

    They just can't get the orders right. Literally ever time they forget something or make it wrong. Even after they assure you it's right.

    Came here for brunch and had the Old Fashion Bene. Definitely a classic, and I loved it. The…read morehollandaise was really well balanced, not overly tangy, which made everything come together nicely. All the ingredients tasted fresh and home made. Service was great. Our server was very kind and let us take our time even though there was a post-church rush. It was very lively yet relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, a solid brunch spot I'd come back to.

    I went to **Chops & Eggs** in Corpus Christi expecting a good meal. I left convinced the place is…read morerunning some sort of delicious, well-lit conspiracy against boring breakfast. First of all, the ambiance: imagine an upscale hash house that got a promotion and immediately started dressing better--but didn't lose its sense of humor. It's polished without being pretentious, cozy without being sleepy, and stylish in that "yes, I woke up like this" kind of way. You feel instantly cooler just sitting down. Now let's talk about the owner, who is as charming and witty as the menu itself. The kind of person who could explain the specials or casually win a dinner-party debate at the same time. You get the sense this place isn't just run--it's hosted. Like you've been invited into a very tasteful, very funny friend's kitchen. The food, though. Oh, wow! Every dish arrives looking like it knows it's about to be photographed, admired, and then absolutely demolished. The flavors are vibrant, confident, and unapologetically delicious--nothing timid, nothing lazy. Each bite feels intentional, like the chef personally dared it to be that good. And speaking of the chef: whoever is behind the pass clearly has a hilarious sense of humor. Not in a "let's be weird for attention" way, but in a clever, playful, "I love my job and I want you to love this meal" way. The menu reads like it's in on the joke, and the food delivers the punchline--repeatedly. In short, **Chops & Eggs** is what happens when excellent taste, sharp wit, and serious culinary skill all sit down at the same table and decide to show off a little. Come hungry. Leave happy. Try not to smirk while you eat--it's harder than you think.
