    Small Carne guisada taco
    Joe M.

    Service was fast. Taco was on the small side, but plenty of meat. Pan de polvo is good as always, but small. $7.00 total cost a bit steep .

    The food is good and the service is fast if you can get a breakfast taco or Twould highly recommend them

    Coktel de Camaron grande
    Caroline A.

    Great service and great food! The ceviche, coktel de camaron and mojarra frita were my favs and a must try!

    Been around in Corpus for a while, last time I was here was close to 10 years ago. It's open late, cheap, and non pretentious. We ordered most of the menu; Value 5/5, you won't find much more bang for the buck Quality 3-4/5, depending on what you order. Carne asada was good, sirloin was meh. Everything else is in between. Service 4/5, quick and friendly Not the best quality but it's affordable and open for late nights.

    Botana plate - smoked sausage, marinated fajitas, and grilled shrimp, cheese quesadillas, green onions & chiles

    This is one of those places where we go when we can't decide where to go. There is always something different to try but you can always go with a classic option as well. The service is usually pretty good sometimes you can get a slow server but that's anywhere. Typical taqueria vibes and feeling through out. They also have a good bar! I love the pina colada. Breakfast tacos are good but a lil pricy.

    This is a "hole in the wall" type of place. It was good, not great. I had flautas con pollo (chicken taquitos) and my girlfriend had the special of the day- cheese enchiladas with rice & beans (subbed the taco for a tostada with beans). I also had a margarita, which at first was just okay, but as I drank it more, I fully appreciated it (and I left with a little Buzz, which was nice). The service was great- nice staff as you enter, great server, and quick food. We enjoyed our lunch here after visiting the Selena Museo & her statue.

    Mexican plate, enchiladas are good!!!

    Recently moved to corpus and have been looking for a mexican restaurant. This is the first we try here and it didn't disappoint. Enchiladas were good and i'm pretty picky on them myself. chips and salsa were good as well. Their salsa verde is spicy and i like spicy so that says something. beans and rice are like usual mexican restaurants but it was decent. Lemonade was good too!! Will be returning Great service too :)

    Portion sizes are worth the trip. Service has always been attentive. Prices haven't been hit by inflation yet which is refreshing.

    This place came HIGHLY recommended to us from my family. They said this is where you get authentic…read moreMexican cuisine. As a vegan, that made me excited because actual Mexican food usually has less cheese and can be made vegan. The business is quaint. There was a friendly hostess to welcome us in and our server was very hospitable. We ordered the chile relleno without cheese, zucchini in pasilla pepper sauce, and mole verde off the vegetarian options on the menu. We also enjoyed guacamole and chips. Our server was happy to accommodate our vegan modifications and it was really easy to communicate with him. The flavors are just WOW! Hands down the best guacamole of my life. The sauces are vibrant and rich. Everything tasted so fresh. And the prices for this quality of food cannot be beat. My husband and I literally licked sauce off the plates to make sure we did not miss one ounce of that authentic Mexican flavor. This place is top of our list of businesses to visit next time we are in town visiting family. We had an incredible experience and cannot wait to continue to explore the vegetarian menu options.

    After searching online for places with strong ratings (4.5 stars or higher), we decided to try…read moreGuajillos. Unfortunately, our experience didn't match the reviews. I'm not a professional food critic, but I do know seasoning, regional Mexican flavors, and what well‑prepared food should taste like -- and this just wasn't it for us. The restaurant didn't feel well-kept, and it appeared that only one server and one cook were working, plus we and another couple were the only ones there. We were served chips and salsa to start. The salsa, a taquera‑style orange sauce, was actually the best part of the meal. The chips, however, were extremely hard, not fresh, and definitely not warm. They looked house‑made, but whatever they were fried in made them almost inedible. I ordered the ribeye street tacos, and the steak was overcooked, had an odd taste, and wasn't enjoyable. I asked for extra cilantro and onions, which didn't happen, and the chimichurri they brought out was basically oil with a few seasonings floating in it. I almost complimented the Dr Pepper because it had a unique sweetness -- until I realized why. The red glass had visible staining on the inside. When I wiped the rim with my napkin, it came off dirty. They also don't offer straws, so whatever residue was in that glass is what you end up drinking. Between the food quality, the cleanliness concerns, and the overall condition of the restaurant, this was a no for us. How this place has earned such high mentions is honestly beyond me.

The most authentic flavor item in my lunch was the refried beans that look like poop at first sight. Rice was bland with cumin flavor and the mole was the most disappointing. Might as well have called them regular enchiladas, the flavor was basic taco mix with a tiny taste of mole. Just a thick cumin or comino paste. Enchiladas should be dripping with sauce in the inside. These were dry tortillas that were barely garnished with sauce on top. The chicken inside was very flavorul but dry. Then the 16 oz lemonade was 4$ and it was super sour ! I never leave reviews.

I've never had them served this way but was not disappointed. No horseradish served here, fyi. We also got queso fundido which was delicious- portion seemed small but made three full tacos. Draft beer was cold, Bloody Mary was outstanding. Their specialty cocktails looked amazing. I'd love to try but i was really itching for a bloody that day. Our waiter had to be called for everything, we didn't even get silverware or napkins. When we called we got bar napkins while every other guest had proper utensils. Overall, great experience, I'd go back and sit at the bar next time.
