We finally tried this place and it wasn't bad. Most of the people working there are really nice and helpful. The chip lady brings chips quick. The queso is pretty good. We ordered the shrimp tacos and they were yummy! One thing that was gross was the guy at the door/register kept chewing his nails and spitting them on the floor or just throwing them on the floor. Thank goodness he isn't around the food doing that. read more

Pinto Bean - Tex-Mex Near Me - Victoria, Texas

You have lost 15year long loyal customers because you wouldn't refund us for YOUR MENU PRICES BEING WRONG!!!! I'll be for ever spreading my dislike for both of your restaurants. I hope you keep up the bad attitudes and loose even more customers. Also the last few times this month we visited, your lettuce has been brown and gross. Do better. Or don't, because it won't affect me because you won't be getting another penny from my family. read more

The food is lousy and overpriced! I ordered-to-go (without a menu) 4 tacos that cost over $25! and they had no flavor at all! The sauce tasted like tomato sauce out of a can. Never again. read more

The pinto bean is one of my top favorites. I absolutely love the tamales here and the tamale plate has large portions so you will never go away hungry afterwards. The staff at the pinto bean goes over and above, trying to make you comfortable and does everything in their power to make your dining experience the best. There is no downside to this restaurant. Please try it. I love this place and I am a frequent visitor every week can't find any better food than this. read more

A great place for breakfast, both eat in or take out. Service is fast and friendly. Wait staff is helpful and the food is wonderful.

We have been back a few times since first review. First, they raised the prices on the draft beer. We went anyways. But, something more serious has happened - I am not sure if the place was raided, but it's become nearly impossible to get any service if you are Caucasian. We will not return. read more

I haven't gone to Pinto Bean in quite a while but todays visit was good. The food was enjoyed by all. Super Bowl pre game was on the tv but I just ignored it. The chicken fried steak was a little small but tasty. Coffee is served is such a small cup. Needless to say, it was difficult to keep my coffee filled. The server was not as attentive as I would have liked but other servers were friendly to accommodate. Will visit again read more

Great food, very consistent with both quality and service. This is a Victoria, staple, anyone visiting town or passing through who might want a sample of Victoria's best Mexican food , The Pinto Bean is one of the small handful of choices I would recommend. read more

Passing through Victoria and this place caught our eye. We both ordered a combination plate. We thought the portion would be small because the price was very affordable. We were surprised how big the food portion's were. Normally we can finish our meals, but this time had to take it to go. Very generous portions! The restaurant itself is easy to get to and wonderful service. Highly recommend! read more

We went to the Pinto Bean for the first time this afternoon. My son got the beef fajitas with charro beans, rice, guacamole, and salad. I ordered 2 small tripa (beef tripe) tacos with a side of Charro beans. Most places give you a different cut of meat when serving fajitas. This place actually served fajita meat and it was Delish. The tripa tacos were good but I would of liked them a little crisper. Overall, everything was excellent including the service. The waitresses regularly asked if we needed anything and the portions were spot on. If craving Tex Mex while in Victoria, this is the place to go. read more

I enjoy the Food, the Staff and Parking at the "Pinto Bean." The Bean does its best to give the combination of the menu for each customer's palate. Once inside the seating is ample for small to large groups. If you have not ate at the Pinto Bean, give 'em a try, I believe you will be glad you did. read more

Not a big crowd, took 20 minutes for tacos and they brought it to me cold. I sent it back and they said they'd get me new food. It came back and the beans were black and greasy. The were refried beans, which I'd ordered pinto beans. Anyway, the food is not good, the salsa was just runny. It was very disappointing! Will not go back!!!! read more

Great breakfast great service. Coffee never goes dry or any drink. Fast meal on table

We were driving through Victoria looking for a different kind of place to eat and the name of the restaurant was different. We pulled in and upon entering were a bit confused as to seat ourselves or be seated...we had to ask. We found a table and had three waitstaff approach. One carrying menus, the other with chips and salsa the other one ???. We made our decision and had to determine which waitperson was waiting our table. I asked the chip lady who apparently did not speak English who did find someone to find our waitperson - yes that's a bit much I know. Our food was mediocre at best but with a name of Pinto Bean you would think they would specialize in pinto beans. Not so. Just another Mexican restaurant chain type location. read more

Salsa got smaller because people aren't finishing the salsa that's what the waitress said, the bacon shrimp look burn and oily, the beans tasted ok but it was little hard and burn, the positions size, its like pinto beans down sizing the side and waitress is slow and doesn't pay attention to customer. read more

Went there looking for authentic Mexican food. Was underwhelmed with the flavors. Queso for chips was like straight out a convenience store jar(bland). My meal was decent but not go back worthy. The locals recommended this place. I say skip it. read more

Not sure what the heck happened but there was no tea no water only bottled sodas ( some of us don't drink sodas). They served in To go styrofoam plates, and the guacamole portion...I kid you not was laughable ( I mean we all laughed at the table) it was lost under a little lettuce. Food was ok but come on no plans to ever go back read more

This is our go to Mexican place. Usually fast friendly service and the food is great 95% of the time. The to-go service is often not as good. I usually get the deluxe burrito but the have recently updated the menu so it's now called the burrito a la mexicana. It's filled with carne guisada and the topped with chili and queso onions and tomatoes. My wife got the street tacos and really enjoyed them. Good sized portions fair prices and above average food and service. We visit generally once a month sometimes more. read more

The Pinto Bean was recommended by my sister-in-law as a solid place for Tex-Mex and she was spot on!! My party order 3 enchiladas (one chicken, cheese and beef) covered in chili con carne and 3 tamales. My daughter ordered an Angie's plate (2 beef enchiladas, 3 quesadillas with rice and beans). We also ordered a side of guacamole to eat with the complimentary chips/salsa. Our food was served quickly and we were eager to start eating until we realized the small scoop of guacamole on the plate was actually the side order of guacamole. What a disappointment!! It wasn't worth the cost and had zero flavor. Everything else was superb! We will return again but skip the guacamole next time. read more

Food was great until the cockroach ran across the table and attempted to jump into my wife's plate. We had just started eating when the bug made its appearance. My wife knocked it off of the table with her napkin. Then she noticed another cockroach on the floor next to the one she had swept off the table. Both bugs were crawling up the table leg when we boxed up our food and abruptly left. I really hate to think we won't be returning because I love the green meat enchiladas. Maybe we'll order takeout next time. read more

Ordered triple enchiladas. Ate half of one when I realized it wasn't three. I told the waitress who told the cook. She came back and said sorry, the cook said he put three on the plate. We were floored cause we were basically called liars when you could see only two enchiladas on the plate. They surprised us and brought a third enchilada out. I didn't finish my plate or eat anything else. Morning tortilla are homemade. Evening tortilla are store bought. read more

Just about some of the best food you can find. Everything from the burgers to the breakfast tacos are fabulous. This spot is always packed and for good reason! read more

OMG-what a great breakfast spot. We haven't tried lunch or dinner yet but we will! Nancy was our super sweet waitress who did a FINE job. The small breakfast taco was HUGE! Two of us had the #5 and it was just perfect. Rusty had the #1 and that pancake was really good. Coffee was spot on! read more

My wife and I spilt the deluxe beef fajitas. The quail, shrimp and beef were all very good. I liked the quail. It was moist and well seasoned. My wife loved the shrimp and we both liked the beef. The salsa and chips were also good. The staff took excellent care of us. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for dinner. read more

Le sigh, where do I begin? My boyfriend's family took us here because they said it was a decent place. I ordered the beef Enchiladas Rancheras & a margarita. The margarita was decent for the price. The chips were brown & the hot sauce was ok, no spice. I did like the complimentary queso but let's move on because the meal, bad. The quantity was large & it looked good, key word: LOOKED. The enchiladas were greasy & there was a bone in the meat. The beans were just plain odd. The rice was good I guess. The guacamole was NASTY. My whole meal was incredibly bland. There are much better places in Victoria! Save your money. read more

I have posted pictures to show what I have received from Pinto Bean Victoria TX 11/2/2016. When I pointed out the salad didn't look right,(for me it seems wilted and rotten) . Couple waitresses came by and said that was nothing wrong. By the end, I didn't eat the salad, they didn't make an apology (not even feel sorry) & I paid in full for this low quality food. read more

This is a 2nd location. I ate here right after they opened and found myself liking the old "hole in the wall" place better. The new store is much cleaner, bigger and better appointed. I like eating here but sometimes the old he in the wall places just feel good. The food is wonderful here and up to par with the old store, now being open for a while. Everything on the menu is great so no need to suggest anything, order what you like you will not go wrong here. Be sue to order Salsa Picosa to go with your food. I'm my opinion the Pinto Bean stores are the best Tex-Mex in town. read more

We went for the 1st time years ago after a hurricane had hit & was extremely impressed. Then we started going on a regular basis & was amazing. Then Covid hit & ever since they service has went down. Food is good but service is terrible. There was one amazing waitress but haven't seen her (I believe her name was Victoria) but the rest of staff...yeah not good read more

Love this place, been eating at pinto bean for 18 years and it is only getting better. The sit down restaurant is small but service was pretty good. The star is the food though. Delicious tex mex breakfast that filled your tummy without emptying out your pocket book. Super reasonable prices and great food. If you have never eaten there please get the large taco. Any large taco. I promise you only need one. For under 5 bucks...Super bargain. Did i say i love this place? Caveat...Parking lot gets pretty full so sometimes be prepared to park a little bit away. But you are going to need the walk to burn off that large taco...rofl read more
