But what's funny is that it's a cafeteria kind of situation instead and it works well for the style and flavor they've developed. This spot is a one woman operation (as far as I can tell) with 10 types of tortilla fillings. They include a myriad of flavahs, from carne guisada to asada, puerco verde to chicharon. You choose what you want, for under $5, and are served your tacos piping hot with salsa on the table for extra hawtness. I'm not sure that I'll make a big effort to head back here but really the food is richly flavored, inexpensive and authentic. Just make sure you've got a spanish speaker with you!

Anyway, this was our first visit despite seeing and knowing this was here for nine years. They are a breakfast and lunch joint and close at 4 pm. We arrived about 2 pm and there were only a couple tables occupied. We were quickly seated and given menus. While we perused the menu they served us tortilla chips and what appeared to be refried bean dip with some sort of taco sauce/salsa with meat in it on top. The dip was tasty as was the sauce. They also brought two plastic bottles of salsa - a roja (red) and a verde (green). The salsa verde was good, with a little bite and great flavor. The roja was hot and had very little flavor. I was actually surprised how little flavor it had. Our group of four placed our orders. The guys ordered taco plates - mine were Tacos de Trompo (pork) and my friends were Tacos de Fajita. The gals both ordered Enchiladas Suiza, which were chicken with cream sauce over them. Those looked photo ready on the plate and both enjoyed their meal. The enchiladas were served with a small plate of rice and beans. They guys taco plates consisted of five small corn street tacos, freshly griddled on a comal or flat top to soften them, then covered with delectable meats, grilled onions, fresh onion and chopped cilantro. There were two, half Key limes served with them. My Trompo tacos were excellent and my friend enjoyed his fajita which were beef, onions and peppers. I only ate three of the tacos but my friend gobbled down all five on his plate. They were perfect with some of that salsa verde on them. Price was very good. Our taco plates were $9.99 and the gals Enchiladas Suizas were $10.99. This place is NOT TexMex! The plates aren't loaded with cheese and such. It is authentic Mexican cuisine, with dishes from in and around Monterrey and other regional specialties of Mexico. It was VERY GOOD if that's what you're looking for. If however, you're looking for typical Americanized TexMex this likely isn't your spot. We loved it and definitely will be going back. I'm going to have to try their breakfast next. I'm not sure if it's served all day or not but I will try it. I love me some Huevos Mexicanos with salsa verde and fresh corn tortillas!

You can often hear the cook chopping up the meat through the little door leading to the kitchen. They offer Mexican style tacos in double wrapped soft corn tortillas. Non of that taco bell style hard shell that many Americans associate with Mexican tacos. The fillings are fajita, ground beef, or chopped grilled steak. If you ask for them with everything, they also put cilantro and grilled onions on them, unless you ask for them to go, then those toppings are inside your little foil packet of tacos, but on the side. The order of tacos comes with 6 small tacos and a small cup of charro beans. Charro beans is basically like a pinto bean soup in a rich broth with veggies and some bacon and pork rinds. Absolutely delicious. The portion at this location is way too small in my opinion. Beans are cheap and they could afford to give people more. They also serve mexican lonches (sandwiches) with fajita or bistek. You get 4 little sandwiches in an order for $5. A little over priced, but they are somewhat hard to find and this is the only location in Elsa that has them as far as I know. Get 2 orders or add beans and a baked potato if you are really hungry because they are small. These sandwiches don't come with a cup of beans if you take them to go, but they will give some to you if you dine in. They come with a slice of avocado, shredded cabbage and tomato along with some green and red salsa on the side. The lonches are not overly greasy and that is slightly good except that it might be the reason they are not as tasty as the ones from across the border. Don't bother with the taco pirata at all!! It is just a big overly cheesy bland quesadilla with added meat, sourcream, avocado and onions. I didn't enjoy it at all! Very, very bland. The Panchos are very much worth a try. Basically loaded nachos with refried beans, steak and lettuce, tomato and sour cream. Very tasty! They also have imported Mexican sodas in the bottle for those wishing to satisfy a craving.

Sadly. The Trompo tacos were not available at the time I arrived :(…read more Ordered the Tacos De Maiz. ( Corn Tortilla Tacos for you "no hablas" out there. Charro beans arrived first. A little bit undercooked and lacking some spice and the normal protein additions otherwise ok. The papa asada with fajita was next. Was warm and ready to start digging in. The fajita on it did not have the expected seasoning but did have a good flavor -not bland nor did not seam overboard like other places, nor greasy. Now the main course: Tacos de maíz! 1. Well stuffed with fajita and overflowing! This is good. 2. The fajita was a little bit tough to chew but these were not sirloin tacos. 3. I did not taste any spices on the fajita but the smoky flavor was good to the palette. 4. Both the green and red salsas were not too hot, just right. The service was GREAT! Conclusion: Just needs a a bit more SASON and this place will be packed. Great service.

The tacos were great!! I liked it especially with the sweet yellow topping (idk what it was exactly…read morehaha), roasted onion, and the red & white sauce. The cashier & waitress were both really nice. The only thing was that the tacos took almost 30 minutes to make, but I came when they just opened, so maybe they needed a couple minutes to start things off. Everything was pretty clean. I was the only dine-in customers there, but a couple people came in for take outs. They had a clean bathroom too.
