I'm parked across the street doing my reset, and this is one of my favorite truck stops when I'm…read moregoing to Laredo, so I decided to walk across and have supper last night.. They also have truck parking next to the restaurant that not a lot of people realize. I walked in and was greeted immediately by very nice and professional staff. But of course if you know me, you know I chose to sit at the bar. They were playing some soccer game on the TV. I don't watch sports so doesn't matter to me what's on the TV. My bartender greeted me IMMEDIATELY and took my drink order, and gave me a menu. This guy was on his game! Very attentive, engaged in banter. Couldn't be happier with my bar experience all together. I'm on a no-carb kick, so It can be challenging sometimes to find carb-free options at Mexican restaurants, since all the good stuff and fun stuff to eat like tortillas, rice, beans, and other fried dishes are plentiful. But I noticed they had a Molcajete! (For those don't know what that is, it's essentially a bowl carved out of volcano rock, and then heated up with various meats and other ingredients, served SUPER HOT). My molcajete came with pretty good size shrimp, beef, chicken, couple slices of mozzarella type cheese, pico and other stuff in the bottom. The bartender asked me if I wanted to substitute my rice and beans for avocado and pico, which I did. I ate my avocado and put the pico into my molcajete. I am a faithful consumer of tajin, and tapatio. BUT They didn't have tap! They only have Cholula. The bartender told me he keeps requesting it, but never gets it, so cholulah it was. My molcajete was super hot, boiling like it should be, really flavorful. All together really good. I did notice The Rock wasn't as deep as other Mexican restaurants I've been to that served it, and didn't have a couple other little things in it that other Mexican restaurants too, but it was still good nonetheless and a perfect portion size for me. I didn't realize they close at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday because I planned on having supper there again tonight, so I will be stopping in the next time I come down to this part of Texas! Thank you Taqueria Jalisco! Maybe next time I'll have a cheat day and eat something carby!

Stopped in to order food to go. While waiting the woman manager or owner decides to meet with all…read morethe wait and kitchen staff about ten feet away from me. I am on my phone watching Facebook reels. She started to talk loudly to them about things she was not happy about and got louder and louder and got more and more descriptive of things she was not happy about. She spoke Spanish to them and I think she assumed I did not understand Spanish. It got to the point that I felt embarrassed for the employees and I raised the volume on my phone so that I did not have to hear what was being said. It did not work! That made me very upset and I began to get a tight knot in my stomach. She was very loud and talked to them in a very condescending and mean manner. I lost my appetite!!! I could only take so much. I got up from my chair, walked over, interrupted the meeting to motion my waiter to me and told him to please cancel my order because I did not like what was happening in front of customers. I said it was not right. And, I made sure to look at her when I said that. I also said I will never return and walked out. I feel sorry for the employees. I really hope she did not take it out on them. But, I had to say something. This happened exactly as I have written it. The woman did not respond to me in any way. I think she was shocked.

Whenever I come to visit my mother, Alex Taqueria is always the place I stop to get my lonches. My…read morefamily has been loyal customers for years, and I have even recommended them on my TikTok, which brought several friends and family members to their business. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was very disappointing. I ordered lonches, but I was given tacos instead. When I pointed out the mistake, the employee was rude and unwilling to correct the order, so I had to ask for a refund instead of having my food remade. The employee claimed that all phone orders are recorded. If that is the case, customers should be informed that calls are being recorded. The recording would also confirm that I ordered lonches and that my order was repeated back incorrectly. What upset me the most was the way both my son and I were treated. We were respectful throughout the entire interaction, but the employee spoke to us in a rude and unprofessional manner. This was my last visit to Alex Taqueria. I will be removing the TikTok recommendation I made and will no longer recommend or support the business. I hope Alex sees this review and addresses the customer service issues, because one negative employee can damage the reputation of an otherwise good business.

When looking at the restaurant from the outside, you'd think it was closed down decades ago. We sat down and ordered our food. It took a little bit of time getting our food but only because one person was handling everything. She took our order, cooked/served the food and ran the register. The restaurant was even recognized for providing great service to the military back in 1962. I doubt I'll be back in the area anytime soon, but if I am, I know a good place to grab a bite to eat.
