We were greeted and immediately I asked Stephanie to tell us what they were known for. She said Chicken Fried Steak Yaa ! And hand battered onion rings.Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. Hubby got full plate and I opted for Chicken fried Sandwich and onion rings. Very flavorful and gravy was definitely homemade. Loved it all. My only remark is that the front entry is kinda dark and could use a ceiling fan. We will be back.

Went back again and the onion rings are great. Chicken fried steak is good and crispy and the…read moreservice is quick. They need a full bar instead of just beer and wine to get the 5 stars. Inside is great and creepy.

Over in the area for a country drive, did a quick Yelp check for a good Tex-Mex place for lunch…read more More than one review mentioned "locals like it", and we were sold. Plenty of parking, right off the main road, and more room inside than it appears. Waitress was on the job, excellent friendly service, was right there to take drink orders, and checked up on us throughout the meal. They were actually standing there waiting for us to sit with the chips and salsa. Definitely had the look of a local favorite, we were there after the lunch rush, I'm sure it's packed on weekend nights. All the food came out really fast, but was all fresh, tasty, and hit the spot. The menu had tons of variety, will take multiple visits to work through. That Texas staple, sweet tea, was especially good, had a lot of flavour served in large glasses. Would almost be worth stopping in during the summer just for some of the tea! Really nice space for a meal, and very friendly service!

Four kinds of salsa The verde and Diablo are fantastic but wait, if you mix them they are close to perfection! Such nice sweet waitstaff. They indulged my Spanish and so move to my daughter!

The sandwich was big and plentiful but I think it would've been better without the cheese. Something about melted sharp cheddar cheese and syrup just don't work well together..

Definitely looking forward to coming back during lunch sometime soon. I definitely like the creativity they put in to making that breakfast sandwich.

After eating here on every single trip, it's easy to see why. There is no pretense here--just genuinely good, authentic food and a comfortable, homey atmosphere. The meal always starts strong with great chips and fresh salsa, and the service is wonderful from the moment you sit down. As for the food, it is consistently excellent. Brian swears by the #49 (the bacon-wrapped shrimp) and loved it just as much this time around. I ordered the taco salad with chicken fajita meat, and it was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and completely satisfying. If you are in the area and want a rock-solid meal that delivers every time, this is the place to go. It is a local favorite for all the right reasons.

The donuts just melt in your mouth. And are NOT to cakey in their kolaches are so delicious it's such a bright and cute store. The ambience is amazing there's always people in there but it's never too crowded. It's a great place to grab something and go or just sit down for a little bit for breakfast.

I just so happened to be driving through Gatesville and thought hmmm I'm going to see if they still have them. YES THEY DID!!!!!! These are the best ever! I couldn't wait to get in the car and eat a few. They practically melted in my mouth. They are so moist and taste just like a red velvet cake donut style.

Flavored or regular. Woo hoo!!! The first time we went I got the brisket tacos. The flavor was great and the meat was tender. The second time we went we got the chicken rice dip. Wow who would have ever thought to put Mexican rice topped with queso and fajita chicken meat. It was delish!!!! They served it with tortillas and chips. I loved it. I also tried the new fajita nachos. It was absolutely amazing as well. We also got the fajitas for two the last time and it was so much meat! The meat had great flavor. It was so much food. Our only complaint was that it literally came with 4 small tortillas and when we asked for a couple more they were going to charge us. There was no way even if we filled the tortillas to the top that 4 would be plenty. It's a pretty small space, but every time we have been there we didn't have to wait. That isn't saying that there wasn't a bunch of people, I am simply saying we picked good times to go. Ha ha The wait staff are all very friendly and accommodating. Overall it has been great experiences.

Our waiter was good but his English was not so good. But that's fine. He tried really hard. I was a little disappointed in the food. I got Supreme Enchiladas and my wife cheese enchiladas. It was pretty good but not the best I've ever had. It just didn't seem all that spicy. Hard to put my finger on it. Coming from South Texas we are used to spicy Tex-Mex. They do give you large portions.

The quesadilla, tacos, breakfast tacos, and Horchata were absolutely delicious and as authentic as they get. Definitely recommend the Carne Asada, Barbacoa, Al Pastor. And breakfast tacos. The Horchata also tasted amazing and was not too sweet. I am from southern California, and the quality of the food. Here is no different than what I am used to. Absolutely amazing. Very friendly and genuine service. They are located right off the highway. One can easily miss them if you overlook. But they are open and ready to serve the community!

It's conveniently located off the side of the main road that is right outside of North Fort Cavazos. Great spot with authentic flavors. It's a truck with outdoor seats and made to order! My favorites from here include: * Quesabirria con carnitas * Tacos Mazatlan * Breakfast Tacos (bacon, cheese, egg, and potato) * Cubana (Torta) * Quesadilla Three of my faves are from the top ten. This week I was early enough for breakfast and really enjoyed it! The Quesabirria is a new option I also got try during my week at NFC. Everyday that I tried to order it was SOLD OUT AT LUNCH! Birria was all the hype for the last few years and I've tried it at so many places. THIS PLACE is by far my FAVORITE. Classic Birria tacos don't come with queso. This place already had the queso in the birria name! Most places charge extra and for me this was a huge plus. Another thing I love about their queso birria is that YOU CAN CHOSE FROM THREE DIFFERENT MEATS! I HAVE YET to go to a place (inside and outside of TX) that DOES THIS! The carnitas here is AMAZING and so of course I got it with that.... and WOW. The CONSOMÉ HERE IS ALSO SO DANG YUMMY! 5/5. This is my newest favorite. Taco Damien's has been around for a while but they do update their menus and do not disappoint! I highly suggest CALLING AHEAD to get your order. Atleast 15 minutes prior to pickup. They appreciate the call ahead and when you get there food is ALWAYS READY! My husband is from Mexico and he enjoys the food here too. This isn't a review that doesn't compliment the culture, we know good food!
