    Gordita de Carnitas
    Michelle C.

    Barria Tacos were delish and the Gorditas yummm! perfect breakfast spot to satisfy a taste authentic Mexican food.

    I love this place. I used to come to here when I first moved to Texas from California. Their food is really good. Service is great and fast. They have a variety of good food and they also serve breakfast too.

    Birria tacos
    Michael A.

    The food here is a bit pricey but delicious. I had the birria tacos and they had so much flavor!

    If this taco spot was close to me, I'd eat here multiple times a week. This is a great little taqueria, carne asada and chorizo were both really good. I haven't had many Gorditas in my life, but I really enjoyed the freshness and crunch from the crisp outer layer and soft inside. The tortillas were incredibly fresh and tasty, and just made the meal that much better. The people who work here are so nice and welcoming. Different staff check in often in case you need anything. The inside was clean and nice as well. If you are in the area, definitely give this taqueria a try!

    Caldo de res.
    Andy A.

    I came to visit this restaurant for the first time we were excited because ambiance felt good and reviews were promising. We ordered a bistec taco, a pastor taco and a caldo de res. The tacos actually were good but the soup was awful, literally tasteless. As a matter of fact, you can tell the soup was water down. I told the waitress with her name tag ARA. Getting defensive she said soup is not water down but that she'll let the cook know. She never returned. I had to eat the meat and rice as the soup base was just not possible to eat. Soup didn't even have color. Ara completely stopped taking care of us, no drink refills and zero attention. As I was paying I again told her the soup was gross and she said cook told her they don't water down the soup, it comes portioned which I then told if it's boxed/can soup then since she says no water is added, she couldn't answer me. She said why didn't you reject it, I told her I did but you just hide and never came back. I was excited to try this place, reviews looked good but service and some food items make this place not worth it. All she needed to do was to replace the soup/change it for another item or discount it, but all ah was good at was getting defensive. You've been warned about this place now and about this waitress.

    I gave this location and second try... The service was much better this round. Our waitress was smiling and friendly. Although our food took nearly 45 minutes to hit the table. It was hot and delicious. If you want freshness I guess you have to wait for it. Only two complaints this time the tea taste more like coffee than tea. (Please use a separate clean brewer baskekfor the tea.) Second issue was all the litte kids running around the restaurant spilling their drinks. Come on other diners, keep your kids confined to you table. Teach them mannors.

    Spicy Salsa Roja, Avocado Sauce, spicy Salsa verde. SO GOOS

    SOOOOO DELICIOUS. Delicious tacos good service and a fun vibe Chips and salsa are mild spice- just nice and warm. But they do have 3 salsas they bring out with main dishes that bring a good kick to your meal.

    Three tacos.

    Server did not bring our drinks until a second customer arrived and she was serving both tables together, she took their order first. Third customer arrived, she avoided us as much as she could after I told her to take care of my order first as a courtesy. She offered me coffee last. Her tip reflected how I felt after how she behaved. I spoke to manager at the register, I requested to be treated with equal courtesy, bad attitudes have no place in the hospitality business.

    I really enjoyed my take out! It took about 15 mins after I ordered and everything was HOT! Okay fresh fresh. I appreciated the amount of meat in each item, and their price point is fair. The service was friendly, and they had people dining in as well!

    Fried Gordita with steak and Fried pork taco
    Mike G.

    Good authentic Mexican food, reasonable prices which are hard to find these days and good service. My teenage daughter who is not food adventurous shocked me and tried the beef tongue tacos and she really liked them. Every thing we ate had good flavor. I had the fried beef Gordita and a fried pork taco. Would definitely go back when in the area.

    Bad quesabirria . The soup was since a week before , something like that . Only this time. But.

The restaurant reveals itself to be larger once you're inside. It's a cozy dining experience and I liked the cluttered decor of Mexican tchotchkes and liquor bottles. The owners were very kind to reserve tables for our large group and arrange for us all to pay separately. I tried the cheese enchiladas and they were very filling - they came with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side. I was tempted by the taco salad... some fellow diners ordered it and they were serving size was enormous! Most dishes here seemed well suited to having enough leftovers for the next day.

Got pretty crowded by the time we left around 2:00 rising to a little bit noisy noise level. We got a guacamole side, taco plate, chicken chimichanga, and blue Cancun drink. Everything was pretty good sized. However, the guac and drink respectively were padded with lettuce and ice. Despite the padding, you still got a good amount--just not as much as it appears. The quality of everting was good, nothing was exceptional, but it was above average. The manager, server, and hostess were all very nice and provided good service. The lot was crowded both when we got there and when we left, but we were able to get a spot. Nice place for a casual sit down or business lunch. Give them a try.

They do still have the great warm salsa and chips. The beef fajitas are still real good and a good price. The flour tortillas are not as good as the old days. I like the margaritas as will. We still go just not as much as before. The service is very good for us sometimes like anywhere they have bad days. We go Friday night and the place used to be busy not anymore. I think it is because they change the menu.

We decided to head over to the ever popular El Arroyo. We were hoping to be able to find a parking spot in their packed parking lot. I say this kindly since El Arroyo is very popular and to plan accordingly. I'm an amputee and there are only two handicapped spaces. Arriving we were optimistic, and we were in luck. We didn't get a handicapped spot but one just as good on the end of a row allowing my lots of room to transfer to my mobility chair. We love El Arroyo's patio, and it was going full blast. The hostess tagged the perfect accessible table for us and had it cleaned and set! We settled in and were greeted with salsa and a basket of piping hot chips. There was an awesome vocalist singing America standards in the background. She was wonderful, I wish I had gotten her name. Ashley, our incredible server, greeted us and took our drink order. It was definitely margarita time. We love their margaritas! They're a must if you're dining at the restaurant. After looking at the menu, my wife and I decided to split an order of chicken fajitas for one. We've found out fajitas for one are perfect for the two of us. The order usually provides at least two fajitas for each of us. So that's what we ordered. This would be the first time we'd ordered fajitas at the restaurant. In a jiff, Ashley delivered our margaritas to the table. She apologized that the food may take a bit longer since it was Friday evening and the restaurant was slammed. We told her we were in no hurry and just wanted to relax. We sat back, munched on chips and salsa and enjoyed the live entertainment. After a reasonable wait, dinner was served! Our chicken fajita entree was delivered smoking and sizzling along with all the necessary sides. Oh my, the fajitas smelled so good. We knew by the smoky smell they were going to be incredible, and YES, they were. They were some of the best chicken fajitas we've ever had. The chicken had just the right amount of marinade on it, and it was grilled to perfection. The side, rice, refried beans, guac and pico, were perfectly prepared and seasoned. To the flour tortillas, they were some of the softest and most tender tortillas we've had. To top the evening's visit off, Ashley, even though she was super busy, took excellent care of us. Thank you, El Arroyo for a relaxing dining experience, superior customer service with a smile, and a pronominal order of chicken fajitas. We'll see you again soon.
