We chose this restaurant based on its high reviews, but unfortunately left very disappointed…read more After being told to seat ourselves, we waited so long for menus and drinks that we nearly left. The waitress was sweet, but remained slow throughout the entire meal. Our waitress never offered drink refills, and we waited extended periods for a to-go box and our check before finally going to the cashier ourselves. The biggest issue was a strong sewage-like odor coming from the restroom area. We were seated nearby, and every time the bathroom doors opened, the smell drifted into the dining room. Even the handwashing station in the dining area had the same unpleasant odor. The food looked great when it arrived, and the chips and salsa seemed fresh. However, I was disappointed to learn they no longer serve guacamole with their fajitas. The chicken fajitas arrived sizzling hot, but became very dry as they cooled. They were spicy, but lacked much flavor. The rice and beans were good. Overall, between the slow service, unpleasant smell, and mediocre food, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants in Waco that I'd try before coming back here.

Thought we'd give it a try seeing as it was 10 minutes off I-35. Found the small place and it was exactly what we were looking for! The chips and salsa was super tasty, the half and half tea was on point, and you can't go wrong with a Mexican coke! Ordered the cheese enchiladas plate and the wife got a quesadilla. We were pleasantly satisfied and they hit the spot. Tbh though, the beans and rice won my heart being so flavorful and delicious. The service was superb and I appreciated their thoughtfulness of checking on us to make sure we were doing ok. All in all, we highly recommend you visit them if you're in the area, we got a table quick around 7 pm and it was a quaint epic time! Try it soon and you won't regret!

Their homemade chips are light and crispy, and their salsa is super flavorful while not overly spicy. It hits that happy medium between my husband and me. Breakfast is also great. You go in and pretty much grab a table unless there's a line with people waiting. Service is always friendly and efficient. Prices are fair. Typical mom and pop type interior with a mixture of booth seating and tables with metal chairs. It's always clean. Branch out and try something new. Highly recommend.

They have a private parking lot and drive thru window. Since I was on a time crunch, I went through drive thru. You order at the window and it does take them time to make your food fresh. I appreciate that! The gentleman at the window was very nice. I got bacon, egg, cheese on flour and it was excellent!! Flour tortilla was pillowy and fresh. Eggs were plentiful and topped with thick cut bacon and shredded cheese. Adding this to my places to stop and eat when in Waco and will keep it as a place for drive thru taco when passing through the area! Thank you Lolitas crew!

Ninfa's was aggressively fine, and honestly, sometimes that's enough…read more I got the smothered burrito with the "spicy" ground beef, and someone else in our group got the chicken quesadilla. Nothing was bad by any means. Portions were pretty large, the chips were fresh, and the free salsa was actually surprisingly spicy in a good way, which I appreciated. It had a little more attitude than I expected. That said, everything else was very generic Mexican restaurant energy. Not bad generic, just very "yep, this is Mexican food near me" generic. It hits when you're with a picky eater and need something safe that everyone can survive, but nothing really felt elevated or memorable. The food came out in about 15 minutes, service was fine, and the place was pretty quiet when we got there before getting busier as we were leaving. My only real side-eye was the payment screen starting the tip options at 25%, which is becoming one of my least favorite modern restaurant jump scares. Overall, it was perfectly fine. Three stars in the most non-hostile way possible. I'm not mad I went, but I'm also probably not planning my next Waco trip around a return visit.

The server brought out some chips, salsa, and jalapeño ranch dip while we considered our options. I ended up getting the Baja shrimp tacos and a diet coke. I think you could call this my "regular order" at Chuys, and it was good, as usual. I think the server mixed up my coworkers and my drinks when he took them for a refill.

I have to say, Fuego's food is good. Unfortunately, the customer service at the Waco location seems…read moreto be operating under the assumption that customers are optional. I stood at the counter for about five minutes waiting to place my order while an employee continued making tortillas and completely ignored my existence. Not a "Hi," not an "I'll be right with you," not even eye contact. I genuinely started wondering if I had somehow become invisible. After finally placing my order, I waited another ten minutes for my to-go food. When they eventually handed me an order, it wasn't even mine. The same employee who took my order was the one who gave me the wrong bag, which was honestly impressive in a way I wish it hadn't been. The restaurant only had a couple of customers at the time, so this wasn't a case of being overwhelmed during a lunch rush. There were more employees working than customers ordering, yet somehow my husband and I still felt forgotten. What really sealed the experience was the complete lack of urgency or concern. We were clearly frustrated, and the staff seemed entirely unaware--or entirely unbothered. It's hard to tell which is worse. The food saved this review from being one star because it was actually good. But good tacos can only carry so much weight when the customer service makes you feel like you're interrupting someone's day by ordering food at a restaurant. If the service matched the quality of the food, Fuego would be a five-star experience. Right now, the tortillas are doing all the heavy lifting.

Queso was thinner than preferred and had a 'skin' on top when it arrived to us.
