Please don't judge a book by its cover. San Luis isn't eye a peeling but you are not going to get better breakfast tacos anywhere. I been eating here for over 15 yrs and I never miss eating when I'm in town. Tacos 10/10. Service 8/10. Rest of the food 7/10. read more

San Luis Restaurant - Giant breakfast tacos - Mexican Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Very great place to have breakfast. Robert G, Andrew and Geoffry got the place covered, I ordered per their recommendation, Barbacoa and Tacos de Huevo were both great! I barely finished them. Coffee is weak though and they charge 25cents for to go boxes. Funny story, I let the waitress read Robert G's recommendation, well, the problem was that he recommended Dos tacos which I didn't realize, so I end up ordering two Tacos de Huevo AND one Barbacoa Taco. Not that I'm complaining, but I just couldn't finish all of them. =) My bill come out around 7.50ish which includes three tacos, 1 coffee and togo box. Not bad IMO. read more

San Luis Restaurant - Best Barbacoa taco and Taco de Burbon con chorizo yun joya manzana para tomar ever and they are huge. - Mexican Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

This was one of my favorite breakfast spots when I lived in CC and after going back last weekend, it's nice to see they are better than ever! The tortillas here are simply the best. Both flour and corn tortillas are made by hand. The flour tortillas huge and thick and fluffy and delicious. The corn tortillas are also pretty big and thick and some of the best I've had. Tacos here are cheap. $1.25 to $2.25 depending on what you get. On top of that, they're huge! The carne guisada is fantastic here. Tender meat and thick gravy. The barbacoa is great too, well seasoned meat. Eggs are hard to screw up and I've never had a problem here. This place is packed on weekends. Be prepared to wait and know that it's worth it! read more

This is the type of place that you crave when you are away from it... Or if you have ever eaten here, it will be a place you will never forget, and hope to visit again someday. The tortillas are the best in the city, and probably the entire state. The tacos are also outstanding. Barbacoa on the weekends is awesome. I normally get a Carne Asada con Aguacate. Salsa, and pico de gallo are also awesome. Whenever I come back from out of town, I always stop here. It is close the airport, and hits the spot. The longer I have been away, the more I crave the tacos. Prices are great. Don't be nervous about the neighborhood. Semi-industrial area. Has great parking, and you can enter on either side of the restaurant. If you want an out of the way Mexican spot, that has the best tacos around. This is your place. read more

Dear lord. These are the best tacos I've ever eaten in my ENTIRE life. and im mexican ive eaten them all back in the mother land I used to wake up to fresh hand made tacos made by mi abuelita who poured her sweat and tears into cooking unfortunately her cooking sucks compared to this place So if you're ever in the area, stop by, really, DO IT. get "dos tacos de huevo con chorizo y un joya de manzana para tomar" and prepare for absolute bliss read more

We stumbled upon San Luis on the way back from the beach and certainly didn't have the experiance shared buy other yelpers. Incredibly slow service, uncleanliness, and mediocre mexican food certainly won't bring us back. Try El Porto instead for a Mexican fix in Corpus. read more

Great food although it did take a while to come out but it came piping hot. No chips served. Tons of coffee refills. Both flour/corn Tortillas are homemade daily read more

New owner, new menu, new name. Alas, after a couple of decades, my favorite taco joint in Corpus Christi is no more. I am jonesing for their awesome salsa. Even thinking about it has started me to drool. Their corn tortillas were awesome. Does anyone know if their recipes are now being used within a 50-mile radius of CC? read more

I went to this place with my family. We got a rude waitress she had attitude from the beginning. She took a long time bring the drinks, the Ice tea tasted like it had been sitting there for a week or so! I finally got my food and it was cold and the meat smelled like it was old, so I got up and left customer service says a lot about a business and its food as well! read more

I met my family at this restaurant for a Sunday morning breakfast. Most of us ordered the chorizo platter. One of us ordered a soup. It was about 10am and the soup was already ready. That was a pleasant surprise. The food and service was good. My only problem is that the building is seriously rundown. If my local family hadn't insisted the food was yummy, I would have never walked in. read more

Homemade tortillas were good, but the salsa had no flavor (except spicy) the beans had burned bits in them, and the encheladas had no flavor. The tea was good. I will admit I was worried about the cleanliness. I dont know the neighborhood, but I wish there were windows so I could keep an eye on my car. read more

San Luis Restaurant - people sitting at tables eating - Mexican Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Worst place to eat, me and my fiance found a live roach in her food, we complained and nothing was done, owner of the restaurant just looked at us and said it's fine, they even told us we had to pay for our ice tea. read more

I love this place their tacos are amazing!!!! Definitely will be coming back on my next visit!! I recommend it to anyone coming to Corpus Christi. read more

The smoky flavor of the beans and the homemade tortillas get me every time. It's hard to order anything else that doesn't involve these two factors. Let's not forget the French fries/papas. Migas and barbacoa are out of this world and priced perfect- $3.99 for migas plate in 2013!! Hot sauce is top notch! The only downfall I've ever seen is the guacamole needed a bit of salt, which is easy to remedy from the table. Side note: Wife loves house coffee served with hot milk to mix in. Dreams about it actually. Must try when in Corpus! read more

Don't let the outside decor fool you, inside us clean and food is excellent! Food was fantastic and service is great! Had the molcajate that could feel 4 people! So good! I will be back read more

Honestly. It's really good. Tastes homemade and is just super yummy. The decor isn't tasteful but don't let that stop you. Everyone is nice and the food came out fast. The salsa is spicy but the flavor is so good! Definitely go! read more

Dirty. Nasty. Good was cold. Some kind of horrible live DJ Elvis thing on Sunday morning. Not worth trip at all. Yuck!!

Large breakfast tacos, big portions, $ friendly. The only negative thing to say is that the bathrooms are pretty dirty. We will be back.

This is my favorite breakfast place in Corpus!! Friendly people, great coffee with frofty cream, best fluffy tortillas all around good!!

The food is decent. Tortillas are very good. My real complaint is the price gouging you receive. I have a different total everytime I eat here which is strange cause I always get the same thing. The place could use a make over too. Overall I say if you havent tried this place, then the food alone is worth trying it once. read more

The food is not that bad good flavor and good price!. If you love to be around the guetto's finest this is the place lol .. just sometimes mostly of the time is old people.. somehow resembles some parts of mexico !.. service is a lil slow but i bet youll have fun specially with family! read more

Food was real good!!! Best breakfast I've had in a while. The nopales were so good. I was just amazed that a great tasting Restaurant like this one was all falling apart. It needs some tender loving care. read more

The breakfast reminded me of a warm summer morning in Mexico, when grandma made the tortillas right there on the wood burning stove, and the beans and eggs were cooked perfectly. The taste was that of a sweet potato crunch with chorizo that was cooked perfectly along with the egg. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The prices are great just like the horchata read more

The best place to eat Mexican breakfast. The tortillas are huge and handmade, fresh. Their chiles are delicious. Even ordering to go is good. Try the horchata! read more

best tortillas. homemade flour and corn. breakfast is off the charts. very similar to el nopalito that used to be in Galveston.

A-Ok just about covers it i went to get some tacos and from the reviews i think it was built up a little to much in my mind. Dont get me wrong the tacos were good and it was a nice place, but from the reviews i read i was expecting to be blown away :D all in all a good little taco nook but my experience was more or less as good as the other local restaurants in the area. read more

Cant give a review on the food due to the fact they were so incredibly slow I eventually walked out, I waited and waited and waited for one taco, and there was only one other customer in there. They got one star because there is nothing lower. Never will be back again!!!!!!!!!! read more
