Food is great but service is slow. When you order to dine in sometimes servers rush you to order but your orders don't even come back fast enough and they don't bother to check back in with you for your drinks . I also tried doing a drive thru order and I was waiting for 1 burrito for more than 30 minutes . I decided to leave because no one came back to check on me despite me being on the drive thru for that long. read more

Food was great, service was also. Just be careful with the salsa cause it's hot! I liked the Gorditas freshly made different meats plus chile con queso with beans. read more

The service was terrible I ordered omelette without cheese and of course it comes out with cheese I tell the waitress and she has attitude she tells me they all come with cheese I tell I know but I wanted it without. She returns with the omelette they had just scraped the cheese off This place is a permanently off for me read more

Got it to delivered today for a change and everything was great and still hot just like inside. Love this hidden gem

Please do not serve your customers expired food. I was served a plate of dried semi-burned beef tongue today. The service was very good however the food experience wasn't. read more

I have been going there for years. Great food and great service! It is one of my favorite places to eat.

Me and my family decided that we wanted Mexican food and drove around for a little until we came across this place. after looking at the ratings we decided to go in and it had great ambiance nice little place and the service was good but to our surprise The food was cold the cheese wasn't even melted. but somehow the menudo was burnt and the burrito where cold and nasty. tacos had no flavor and bland . The only good thing was their lemonade. read more

I was in the mood for some real, authentic Mexican food and this did not disappoint. The al pastor was delicious, but the real winner was the sopes. Thats the Mexican version of fry bread. Topped with pastor, it was better even than the tacos. My new favorite Mexican restaurant on the east side. Update 08-14: Came here for Sunday breakfast. Pretty good crowd at 10 am. Food was just as good this time around. Awesome huevos rancheros and the bacon is salty, sweet and just perfectly crispy from the flat top grill. Nothing too fancy, just great home style Mexican food. read more

4 stars considering it is Odessa. Wouldn't order any American breakfast they're not very good for example the pancakes are either flavorless or overcooked. Ambience ok service is good. read more

My favorite Mexican food restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious! It is homemade authentic Mexican food. The one thing that stands out to me is the freshness of the food. Everything is cooked fresh... the salad is not wilted or soggy. Did I mention they have fresh squeezed juices! The people make you feel like family. Edgar and Lily (owners) are always present and walking around, talking to guests to make sure everything is up to their high standards. It is not overpriced, so you can take your whole family out for a nice dinner. The staff are friendly and delightful. The restaurant has much of Mexican history displayed on the walls. The climate is nice and cool... so if you're sweating, it is the red chili!!! read more

We know the owners and their wonderful people my wife and I eat here a lot their fajitas are WONDERFUL and the Cal do de Res is the best I ever had (also great ice tea) if your looking for fajitas come here sure beats Rosas little meat serving fajita plate and drink for $22 as it is way overpriced - great fantastic Mexican food read more

Thought we try something different.. Authentic Mexican Food. Ok. Let me say that you must try the chorizoqueso, comes out piping hot. Filled our bellies before the main entree. I had the caldo de res, was very much like home cooking. No potatoes but squash.. Healthier to offset the fried chips. Really enjoyed the Fresca & corn tortillas.. Great melting food! read more

They have hidden charges, when you look at your receipt, they have charged you not the price on the menu but different. In addition if you pay with a card they add ANOTHER additional charge. I don't like people taking from me, ask me for charity and I'll give it to you, but do NOT steal from me by theft via conversion. I manage money, you don't decide for me. read more

Expensive for literally ball park food. The "queso and chips" was a cup of CAN NACHO CHEESE. I was shocked it was $7. Seriously. Torta wasn't great, Fajitas weren't that good, Rice tasted old. The only thing that was actually good was the beans! I am shocked at all the raving reviews. So sad, we wanted to love it, I was excited to have a good restaurant, near by with good eats. I'll add our Order was placed for pick up, at 7:20pm on Saturday night. Still no excuse for the canned cheese being $7 read more

As bad as it gets. Poor guacamole out of ice cream scooper. Cheese had flour or thickening agent in it. Very greasy and really slooooowwwwe service. Server was ver nice though. Not even half as good as Taco Bell. read more

Worst place ever. There were literally 4 waitresses sitting around and it took 20 mins for someone to say they would come get our drinks, but yet we still were waiting. They don't have much of a menu either. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Great service Average 10$ for plate Margarita sneaks up on you Salsa waterery and kinda bland Fajita plate was good and I cant knock anybody that doesn't put onions in the guacamole lol All in all it was good read more

Definitely worth the money really good food good staff positive people I really like what I ordered meal was hot

the menudo was disgusting as soon as I open the lid you could smell it. either it wasn't cooked all the way or it wasn't rinsed well. couldn't even eat it because of the smell and the flavor wasn't all that great with had a smellfor their outrageous price 0 stars don't recommend and I am Mexican and I've had good menudo before read more

I just went there for the first time. I went through drive thru and had a total of $18.43 when she brought me the bill to sign. I signed off on the bill and she asked if I wanted a receipt. I responded no thank you and a minute later i get a charge notification from my bank (as I always do with activity) through text stating $22.12 has been charged to my card. I told the employee after she came back by the window. She and another employee told me that its not true because I saw and signed the $18.43 bill myself. I told them I understood that but you can always go back and adjust the payment when going back to add a tip/gratuity. Coincidentally the bottom of the bill stated the percentages of gratuity and 20% of my $18.43 bill was $22.12. So I showed them that and they still told me I was wrong and they don't know how my bank sent me a text stating $22.12 was charged because they didn't do it. I asked for a refund and used another card to charge the$18.43 after I told them I would call the police department because something wasn't right after I realized this place probably has been stealing from customers for a long time now and adding tips in without the customers authorization. Check your receipts and bank charges. read more

Had the tripitas here. I think this spot is the best spot for tripitas here in Odessa, TX. I also love the agua fresca here. Tastes fresh. I also tried the al pastor. I found the al pastor to lack a little bit in flavor. My favorite portion here is the service. I had a very nice waitress and was on top of her game the whole way out. I respected that highly. Plus she was sweet. I do like this place and the atmosphere too. Cozy and very family oriented. read more

Really good authentic food. The caldo de res always has plenty of beef. The super nachos are huge 4 people can share. They have breakfast all day. The servers are friendly and place is clean. Nice to have this on north side of city :) read more

Salsa was disgusting. Taco salad was bland at best. Did I mention they serve tap water? Serving water that hasn't been filtered in Odessa should be a crime! My husband had an enchilada plate and it was ok. Rice was subpar but beans were good. The only thing I liked was the actual restaurant itself as the seating was comfortable. read more

not impressed a regular tex-mex restaurant nothing more or less than other places, ordered the tampiquena steak it was good but nothing better than other places i had gone before.. read more

I visited this place off of yelp reviews. With that being said, I wish I had just stuck to my instinct when I drove up and just kept driving. I can honestly say I eat a whole lot of Mexican food and really enjoy GOOD if any Great Mexican eAting. I think this place is clean and the decor is a typical Mexican tackiness restaurant that you find. There were about 2 tables in the place at 7:00 on a Wednesday night; as soon as we walked in the hostess/server greeted us and took us to a booth got our drink order and brought it back super quick. So on that note, they are really quick in this department. The customer service was quick, courteous, and attentive. Now to the complaints... My first is the chips and salsa came to the table cold and even a tad bit of a bad grease taste in the chips. The salsa has some random and very unexpected piece of chicken but in it (gross). Next, the food was good, I had the fajita Gorditas and they were good only the rice had hard crispy bits and the beans were OK. My kid had a kids taco on a store bought taco shell (weird), we are at a supposed authentic Mexican restaurant and they're serving taco shells. So really all this place is, ok. Needless to say I won't be going back. read more

If you want authentic BorderMex, the real deal, and not bland generic TexMex, this is absolutely the place to go! I felt like I was back home in El Paso in my best friend's home waiting for her mom's home cooking to be spread out of the table. This is as good as Mexican food ever gets read more

Excellent food! My husband and I had the chili relleno and chicken flauta plates, respectively. Nothing we were served was less than great! The salsa was fresh, spicy, and delicious. We also had the choriqueso as an appetizer. Although it was not as liquid as one would typically expect queso to be, it was very flavorful. Service was quick as well. We were seated right away and our food came out quicker than expected. Restaurant was not as busy as I thought it would be at lunch time, but there was a steady influx of patrons. Overall, we had an excellent experience here and we will definitely be returning! read more
