    Huge potatoe
    Slade L.

    We came to eat after a days of work and it was worth it. I had a huge potato I had no clue potatoes even got that big. A guy came in with a speaker and started singing! Overall a great time and a memory with my church group

    So I just got back home to the valley and I asked people for some good tacos. I was sent here. Not gonna lie, it was hyped up to be more than what it is. It's not that cheap and it's not that good. I had a normal order of bistek tacos and a coke. The grilled onions were really the saving grace because the tortilla was dry as my scalp. The meat is okay, not the best. The cheese that I ADDED wasn't the greatest either. I give it 3/5 stars. I wasn't impressed.

    I always seem to give this place a try every few months, I wanna like it but the food always disappoints. I left thinking to myself why I stopped here when I could've just gone to "Don Felipe" right next door. I had the order of five tacos, went with two of Trompo meat and three of bistek. The Trompo lacked flavor big time, the small amount of salsa and lime I added completely overpowered the taco, no good. The bistek was simply ok. The tortilla was super crunchy, tasted more like a tostada, had round burnt marks throughout. Salsas were average nothing spectacular. I prefer to get my loaded baked potato before the tacos, appetizer I guess and here they always bring it at the same time as the rest of the food even when asked to get potato first. Either you eat your tacos and let the potato get warm or eat potato first and let food get warm. The price to me was slightly higher didn't match the quality of the food at all. I'm sure I'll probably give this place another try again in a few months, hopefully they learn how to heat their tortillas properly by then. Meanwhile, go next door to "Don Felipe!"

    I've been coming to taqueria Mary's for years and have seen the business grow from a small taco hut to a commercialized business. Although prices have definitely gone up, the quality, taste, eating area, and customer service have consistently improved. This is definitely one of the best Taquerias in Mission, Texas and a must try for all who love Mexican tacos. Service is fast no matter what time you go, and food is always delicious. My personal favorite is an order of Chicken tacos in flour tortilla served with white cheese, grilled onions, cilantro, and avocado.

    be carful eating here ! the food is no longer served like it was in the past ! tacos are served with very little meat and taste is not that good. if you dare complain the owner refers to her no return sign instead of trying to make it right for their customers . never again i do not recommend anyone to eat here. there are plenty of taquerias that treat customers with respect and serve better portions with better quality food.

    This is a great taqueria....good service, great food and good prices. The Mexican hamburger had great flavor and was just what I had in mind. You can tell the fries aren't homemade but are decent. The charro beans are awesome and very tasty.

    The tacos and papa asada are the best in town. But if I have to choose between the two, definitely the papa asada.

    Pro #1: Meat is sooooooo tender. I wish it had more seasoning ... even if it was salt nonetheless…read moreit was good! Con #1: This restaurant is not environmentally conscious. Other than the meal, everything is served on styrofoam, utensils are plastic and cups are bad fast food plastic qualify. Con # 2: I asked the waitress if they had unsweet tea and pink packet sweetener. I asked about the pink packets 3 times and she said yes. She came back with yellow packets. I asked if they had pink packets and she said no. No to her. Con # 3: There are no free refills. I ordered two unsweet teas and the girl brought me two unsweet teas with yellow packets. So I asked for a sweet teas. They charged me for three Aqua Frescas. Charged $15. Hell no. Meh. Pass on a second visit.

    Another recent discovery here in Mission, TX. This small restaurant is off the main road in a strip…read moremall and seats maybe 40-50 people. The menu is simple but offers some variety. We were served a small plate with warm, crisp tortilla chips that were sprinkled with a seasoned powder (not Tajin) that was pretty salty. I shook off the powder as it made them too salty, even for my tastes. The greenish salsa was also a little salty but VERY TASTY and had a little kick. From where we were seated I observed the cook blackening the tomatillos on a grill in the kitchen. These were the backbone of this salsa. If it weren't quite so salty I'd be raving about them. I ordered a platter with three main items - Lonches, Sincronizada and Street tacos. All three items must be filled with the same protein, so I chose Birria. Other choices include pollo, bistek, trompo and fajita. The birria was nice and juicy and well seasoned. The Lonches were larger pieces of bread than I'm accustomed to finding, especially in Progresso, where they are quite popular. They were also toasted it seemed instead of being soft and pillowy. The street tacos were excellent with toppings of red onion and cilantro. The Sincronizada was something I'd never eaten before and was a smaller version of the one they serve as a main course. It was not the traditional dish which comes with slices of ham, but it was pretty good filled with birria. Charro beans were also served if I remember correctly. I ate one of the lonches, one of the tacos (the other I gave to my son) and the Sincronizada and was stuffed; leftovers for a later meal. The wife ordered the full version of a Sincronizada filled with pollo (chicken) and wasn't able to even finish half of it. It was huge! They brought us two bottles of salsa - a green salsa and a reddish/orange salsa. Both were pretty hot by my standards and the reddish one would absolutely hurt you if you added too much. So... a word to the wise... caution advised. They were quite tasty. All in all we will come back. I particularly want to try out some of their other proteins and their fajitas.

    The RGV has many taquerías, most offering the same items on the menu. Few stand out as exceptional…read more When I saw that Ana Liz Taquería won the James Beard Award, my expectations were high, and with this visit they won my admiration. Ana Liz Taquería is located a few blocks north of Expressway 83 in Mission on the west side of Conway. Parking in the front is quite limited, but there is additional parking in the back. I found the taquería small but bright, clean, and pleasant inside. I was welcomed as I entered by one of the several friendly employees who handed me a menu (English on one side, Spanish on the other). She informed me of the protocol: order and pay at the window, then I'd be given a number to place at my table, and my order would be brought to me. The menu has many entrees that sounded wonderful: various kinds of tacos, tostadas, flautas, quesadillas, botanas, and other antojitos. I ordered the chile relleno taco, the alambre taco, and vampiro, all with fajita meat. I thought the chile relleno taco would be my favorite because I love any kind of chile relleno. While I did absolutely love it, I was captivated by the deliciousness of the fajita vampiro which includes melted cheese, guacamole, juicy fajita chunks, and pico de gallo... oh my! It was heavenly! One of the things that stood out to me was that the beef was not over-cooked as most taquerías do... This was cooked to perfection, still juicy, and well seasoned. To accompany the food, the server brought out an assortment of salsas, some fresh Mexican style cream, and some lime. I tried all the salsas except for one ( salsa macha). They were all excellent and ranged from mild to medium spiciness. Something else worth noting is the import their corn, and make their own tortillas. The vampiro was made with blue Mexican corn. For drinks, I ordered the limonada which they provide freshly bottled with a glass of ice. It was a perfect blend. Some reviewers mentioned the price... yes. The prices are higher here than at most taquerías. However, considering the exceptional quality, flavor, and service, AND that they are a James Beard Award winning establishment... it is well worth it. Ana Liz Taquería is 20 miles away from where I live, but I will definitely be back when I want some extra special Mexican tacos!

    The hands-down best taco restaurant I've ever been to (including taquerias I've been to in Mexico…read moreand in Texas' biggest cities). The vampiros are so insanely delicious, I regret not filling up on them when I order anything else. Their tortillas and fajita are really good too. The restaurant itself is nothing crazy, very mom and pop, and the parking is a tough situation. Very crowded lot. Service is also not phenomenal but the food is absolutely delicious! One feature of their service I'd love for them to fix: when you order, you wait in line at a window before being seated. If you decide later you want a single extra taco, you have to go get back in line AND they take just as long as they took to bring your food originally so if you don't order something initially, it'll take so long to get it after the fact that you'll wish you just left. Customers who are already seated should be able to order with waitstaff and not wait in line again for twenty minutes. That does not make sense.
