This is always a must, when we are passing through we always eat here. The carne guisada is the best and the menudo was good. The service is always good. It's a nice small family owned Mexican food restaurant. If your in MATHIS TX you've gotta try it. read more

Waited 30 minutes outside in parking lot for 2 breakfast Tacos. They were not friendly when I started to complain. They told me never come back that her mom was the right to make me wait. Food wasn't good either. It was cold. read more

The fish was delicious and the beans were nice and had a slight crunch. The small oatmeal was a generous serving, very tasty. I would definitely recommend the tea, lemonade or coffee. All were very well made. read more

Taqueria El Puerto Mazatlan - Fish plate - Mexican Near Me - Mathis, Texas

My favorite Mexican food place! Love the Carne Guisada tacos! Everything is good!! Service is good too.

This place is my go to in Mathis for Mexican good. They are she really quick to get food delivered to the table and prices haven't found led due to the Covid BS. However, I think they drop the ball in the drive through. I can't tell y'all how many times I've left with the wrong food or incorrect order. I will continue to eat here regardless. read more

I ordered eggs over medium, but they came out over easy. Really really over easy. The refried beans were gross. Charro Beans were ok, but cold.Potatoes were ok, but they were cold. The tortillas are supposed to be homemade but they didn't take very good. They were also cold. I was very disappointed because we are new to the area and are looking for good restaurants between San Antonio and Corpus, but we will never come back. They really need to also do some major inside renovations. My husband and I were starved so we are thankful for the food but we won't come back. Waitress also did not smile. Kinda sad.. read more

I must be used to another kind of mexican food because I don't like theirs. And I must have come on a bad day because the hamburger I got to go there was so bad I couldn't eat it. read more

We stopped here on a recent road trip. This place had good food, great prices and it was quick! We'd stop again.

Drove through for dinner tonight. Food was amazing and very generous on the portions. You have a new regular customer.

Every time we make our way to corpus we stop by here for burritos. We love their home made tortillas! And they are warm and fresh ... I recommend their egg with any of the meat .. everything I've tried here was delicious. read more

The people were super nice. We stopped for breakfast and they have fresh homemade corn tortillas read more

Stopped here for some food. In town for wedding. Food was very good and would recommend. It's a small dinner. No alcohol though I was craving a marg but ah well. Still not disappointed. My quesadillas were huge and could only finish 3. :) My wife like her flautas as well read more

Amazing fresh food, enjoyed it and the ladies were very polite, the shrimp and the beef and chicken were cooked perfectly and the lemonade is delicious read more

The staff is very friendly. Very attentive. Very roomy. If pulling a trailer there is room to park as well. The food is really good and won't cost you and arm and a leg to feed the family. This is a definite must hit and I'll be back for sure. Stop by and eat you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was okay. It's hard to mess up Tex-Mex. Interior was very dingy and the ceiling tiles were very moldy.

Best place ever. That's all I have to say recommend all the way. If you want some AMAZING Mexican food, this is the place to go.

Passing through Mathis and in desperate need of a taco. Found this gem and fell in love! HOMEMADE flour tortillas! Be still me heart! The beans were delicious and service was excellent! Will definitely be back when we pass through town again! read more

This place has been consistently awesome for about 20 years at this point. The breakfast tacos are surrounded by the loving embrace of thick, delicious tortillas. The rest of the meals are delicious as well, with solid fajitas, enchiladas, quesadillas, beans, rice... The only thing that they aren't the best in town at is the buffet, as the other taq takes the belt for Sunday Lunch. Some will disagree, and surely our little town has a disproportionate amount of good food being served, but this is the best TexMex in Mathis. read more

Great little restaurant off the highway! Our group ordered the barbacoa, the country omelette, and the migas. Most of the items on the menu were under $6 and the portions were more than enough. The food was excellent (especially the barbacoa!), the service was exceptional, and we felt right at home. This is a great family restaurant and we will definitely be back! read more

Always get good stuff when we eat here. Try the fiesta plate and the queso dip and chips.Sweet tea is good also.

Pretty average small South Texas town Mexican food joint. Typo-laden menu, drive-thru where you drive up and they hand you a copy of the menu and make you do another lap around it while you decide what you want, etc. My wife is from Mathis so we come by every now and then to see her folks. This time we pulled up early enough in the morning for breakfast so we got a couple of meals and tacos to go. I went for my standard - two tacos al pastor. The chunks of meat were a little too big for my liking and kind of dry, but nothing some extra onions and cilantro couldn't fix. There was plenty of that to go around, thankfully. The tortillas were homemade and delicious. read more

I've ordered take out twice. Not impressed with either order. At 5:30 pm, your taco salad shells should not be stale. I will say that their breakfast must be good cause the parking lot is packed when I pass by in the mornings. I'll try it and if it changes my opinion, I'll repost. read more

We are from SA and this place is a must stop if your headed towards the corpus area for the best refried beans...prices are very affordable. Where else can you get steak and eggs for $5.99? read more

Taqueria El Puerto Mazatlan - Beef skirt and eggs - Mexican Near Me - Mathis, Texas

The best carne guisada ive has in a long time. Only complaint is it's 80 miles from my house

Ive been a regular here for the last 10 years. When we first started coming to our family ranch here in Mathis we drove around one morning to all of the local restaurants and found this one was super packed. So we stopped in and it was a great experience. Food was delicious and came out of the kitchen not long after we ordered except on Saturdays. We go around 10:30 and are out by 11:15. There may be a better place but we will never know because were happy here. Great staff! They know us pretty well and have our orders for the most part memorized. We do change every now and then but the #10 is my go to. You will not be disappointed. read more

Food was cold, service was horrible as always. To top it off roaches coming out of the walls this time, told the owner who blew it off like it was normal. I will be calling the health department. I don't know how this place is even open. Sure hope I don't get sick. Don't waste your time here, the bigger place in Mathis is your better stop read more

Honest food, honest prices, drive-through available. With breakfast all day and Tex-Mex favorites from both sides of the border, this should be your pit stop on your way to or from the coast. This no-frills, family-run restaurant serves up delicious food and can accommodate families even during COVID. Thanks for a great meal! read more

We loved everything about this place. The staff was so welcoming and service was quick. Prices are great and worth what you get. The breakfast tacos we got were delish and reminded me of my Mom's tacos that she use to make when we were younger. I would go out of my way just to eat here again. Loved It!!! read more

Their food is so awesome, the waitress they at like we are bothering their time.

What a great find. The staff was friendly and the food was great. We had tamales, beef enchiladas and french toast.

Not good. Chicken Caldo broth is chicken bouillon taste. Rice is very salty. Ordered the chalupa dinner instead. Tostadas are soaked in grease. So much lard in the beans. Velveta cheese. I grew up in San Antonio, Texas I know good Mexican food. This is not good at all!! The owner was very rude to me because I sent back the caldo. She kept arguing with me that it was fresh. I just said I guess it was just me... read more

This is the worst restaurant. We went through the drive thru and waited almost 30 min for tacos. The two kids inside working were sitting at the table when I went inside. Absolutely terrible service. Never will we EVER eat here again. Ordered some crispy tacos and the meat was still pink. The bean and cheese and there was NO cheese and just a giant scoop of beans. This is the very worst place to get tacos. read more

Our fave tex mex restaurant cheese dip is Awesome no better anywhere! Chicken fried steak is pretty great too.

Such a great, affordable find when you're in-between SA & Corpus! Our family like everything we ordered: carne guisada had not a hint of fat, the enchiladas were so tasty, the rice was perfectly seasoned & not wet at all, and homemade tortillas made for really authentic quesadillas. Buy some salsa to-go! read more

This was a great choice for our meal headed back home. Great prices and servings are very generous. Staff super sweet. Will be back

Great Food! Friendly Staff! Authintic mom and pop resturant. Friends and I found this place accidentally and enjoyed the food.

What a gem. Discovered this local spot on our trip to Corpus Christy. Amazing food and cheap prices.
