(((Taquería Tepeque ))) en McAllen, TX…read more Pasé por aquí porque un amigo me recomendó la SÚPER QUESADILLA ... y no me decepcionó para nada!! La tortillas son hechas a mano, bien suavecitas, pero doradita como le gustan a Miguelito! Justo como las que comía en Tacos El Poblano en Compton. Me trajo recuerdos con la primera mordida. También le ponen limón, cilantro, cebolla picada, y dos salsas, una verde y una roja, y las dos tienen buen sabor. Se nota que todo es fresco y bien preparado. No es un lugar elegante ni nada, pero la comida está . Si estás buscando una quesadilla con sabor de verdad, esta es la indicada. Sin duda regreso! (((Taqueria Tepeque ))) in McAllen, TX I randomly stopped by this spot after hearing a friend mention the super quesadilla, and wow. Totally lived up to the hype. The tortillas are handmade and remind me of the ones I used to get at Tacos El Poblano in Compton. That first bite took me back. Everything's fresh, you get lime ‍ green/red salsa, onion, and cilantro on the side. The flavors are bold, and they don't hold back with portions either. It's not a fancy place, but the food speaks for itself. If you're craving a bomb quesadilla, this is the place. Definitely coming back! ( no gatekeeping here). Remember to enjoy your meal with someone you love .

A little gem that needs to be recognized! The "primo" taco is a MUST TRY. I am just a visitor in…read morethe RGV and I usually don't go to a place twice BUT I will make it a point to stop in for a primo taco again! The day I went the service was great. The waitress was attentive and made sure to get our order correct and bring us the add ins we requested. The super quesadilla was also a must try. However it is pretty big but it is worth it. I recommend having a friend splitting and sharing the meal with you. The consume for the primo is delicious. I wish the charro beans that come with the super quesadilla was a bit bigger but other than that this is a great spot!

We describe La Curva tacos as being a lighter/healthier version of Mexican tacos. The tortillas are…read moremade in house! Fresh is always great! Their tortillas do not taste like 'dipped in hot oil traditional' Mexican tacos. Their menu choices consist of a variety of bistec meat taco 'ordenes'. I love trompo, and they don't serve trompo tacos here. The beans need a little more flavor. Fast service, tacos orders came out after adequate wait time. We will come back! The ambiance at this location at the time that we have gone is clean and calm, not too crowded

Guadalajara Express is a pleasant surprise and something unique in Mexican cuisine…read more As there is limited signage, and the establishment is small (cozy), it is easy to miss if you're not alert. It's located just west of Raul Longoria in a strip mall, on the south side of Nolana Loop, next to Magnolia Events. To get into the parking you need to approach it from the west (as if you're coming from the expressway I-69-C), because dividers in the road do not allow a left turn if you're coming from the east. But it is well worth the visit! Guadalajara Express specializes in regional Mexican food from the Guadalajara, Jalisco area. I spent my teen years living in Guadalajara so when I heard about them it got my attention! I love the regional cuisine from Guadalajara and there are several things on their menu you cannot find anywhere else in the Valley. Yet I have often been sorely disappointed with Mexican restaurants as most here "americanize" their food. I am thrilled to say that my worries were needless. Guadalajara Express has authentic regional jaliciense food and do it well. I have been twice. The first time I ordered the "carne en su jugo" and the second time I had the torta ahogada. Both were wonderful! I was especially impressed since I knew it takes a special kind of birote (bread) to make the torta ahogada; the usual "bolillo" does not work. The birote is denser so it won't fall apart when they cover it with salsa. The owners / operators are from Guadalajara (once I tasted their food I could have guessed that). They found a bakery that special bakes the birote for their torta ahogadas. The torta ahogada has a dense, toasted birote, filled with carnitas, then covered with a sauce. Back in the 1970's they used to dunk the torta into the salsa, but nowadays it is ladled on. They ladle on a mild salsa, but provide a cruse filled with super hot salsa made with chile de arbol, use with caution, but it IS authentic! The ambience and decor is beautiful, lots of traditional Mexican "artesanias" many made in Tlaquepaque or Tonala, from the Guadalajara metropolitan area. It is a little cluttered, but pleasant. Both times I went it was very clean, service was exceptional, the food was heavenly. Prices seem a tad high, but considering you won't find their specialty offerings anywhere else, I thought it reasonable. I really enjoyed it and think you will too.

Found this spot on Yelp and caught my eye as soon as i saw it had carne en su jugo on their menu…read more Carne en su jugo (meat in its juice). Thin strips of meat in a flavorful broth with frijoles de la olla, bacon pieces, onion and cilantro. So good! This dish originates from Guadalajara, Jalisco. The broth is not easy to make, thats probably the reason most places dont offer this dish. Anyway, meat was cooked good. Broth was flavorful and not salty from the bacon. It all came together. They give you three tiny quesadillas with your meal. Perfect addition. Overall, it was delicious. Will return.

Awesome taco spot! They have great combos at very decent prices for the amount of food…read more Very friendly service. Staff was nice and attentive. The place is just a bunch of tables with people enjoying good food. Nothing fancy, but it's clean. Definitely one of our favorite tacos spots in the area. Steak meat is tasty and non fatty and the mollejas were done very well! I'll be back to try the tripas.

We got sat but it didn't take a long time for us to get greeted and taken care of. But once she did come, we got things rolling. Hubby and I once again got a handful of tacos and he decided to try one with "sweet bread." Didn't enjoy that one, the texture was too mushy and not pleasant. But the rest tasted good. The beans/pork cup they gave us had a good flavor but there were just big chunks of pork fat in them so we didn't really eat those. My friend got something popular in the area called "sincronizada" and it was like this giant burrito. We all helped each other eat it and devoured the rest of the tacos. Very reasonably priced and a good end to our trip!
