To-go orders only. No public restrooms. Limited seating for customers waiting on their to-go orders. I had the al pastor tacos. They tasted great. Nice and moist. They were a little light on seasoning, but not dramatically so. The green tomatillo salsa was ok. I suspect it is probably Herdez brand, straight from the jar. read more

Tortilleria Matehula is a family run business and provides some of the best Mexican cuisine I've ever tasted. I was on a road trip and decided to stop to eat, I ordered 4 tacos (Carnitas, Carne Asada, Chorizo and Al Pastor), rice and chips & salsa. My entire order was phenomenal. The prices are more affordable than a fast food meal, and the flavors are unmatched if you like Mexican Food. The restaurant portion is currently closed due to lack staff since the pandemic, so the orders are takeout only, but the order does not take very long and the food is well worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Very good food. Here you can find the best one in the whole Texas and they are cooking the best tacos I ever eat.

Delicious Breakfast Burrito! Tortillas and the red salsa were great. Would eat again. Don't expect to eat there on a Sunday morning though. Seating area was closed. read more

Really exceptional local place on the outskirts of Dallas, a perfect place to get lunch on the way into Dallas, or on a day trip to Corsicana. The brisket street tacos are unbeatable Oh shit, the cops! read more

This was a cool stop and a nice break from the traffic on our road trip. I wouldn't mind swinging by when in the area again. We walked in knowing we were taking it to go because we had our dogs with us. I did see a separate dining room to the right though. The initial entrance has more of a deli setup. We went to the register and read the menu that is taped to the display case. The gentleman at the counter was polite and helpful. He let us know about their specials and the flexibility of the menu. While waiting a very brief amount of time, I noticed they sell their own tortillas and chips, as well as produce and snacks. I just liked the feel of the place. They aren't cash only, but there is a fee for using a card. I got a taco plate for $5.99. It was decent, but not my favorite. The pastor was very fatty and didn't taste much like pastor, it was lacking in flavor. The asada was much better in cook, cut, texture and flavor. The corn tortillas were very good. The rice was above average and the beans were ok. Their agua fresca is in jugs, but is made fresh each day. I got the Jamaica and it was pretty good. They make theirs pretty strong. The impression from my meal was they had potential, but were more in the 3 star category. Then I tried my husband's asada quesadilla and I changed my mind. It was so much better than my asada taco. The combination of the flour tortilla, cheese and additional seasoning was absolutely delicious. It was pretty thick and filling, this is a repeat order for sure. I'm not sure how much it was. We paid cash and weren't given a receipt. Quesadillas ranged $5-7 on the menu though. Next time we come through, I hope we don't have our dogs with us, because I would like to dine in. When the gentleman had described the two specials that day, they sounded really good but all I could think was that enchiladas are too challenging to eat in the car. I look forward to getting the full experience the next time we return. read more

This is one of those places you want to love but it's not quite firing on all cylinders. I'll call this a 3.5-star review, but I'll round up to 4 because it's better than just A-OK. Just. From the outside, it looks like a hole in the wall. Good! Good start. When you walk in, the front room also feels small... but wait, what's this? To the right, the place opens up into a much larger room, with many tables and plenty of nice touches. Interesting! Not what I was expecting. But not bad either. Bigger room almost feels more like an Italian restaurant than Mexican. :) Everyone was super nice and service was great. No complaints there. Chips are clearly made in house - beefy and thick, fresh-fried tortillas. But they're cut a wee bit small - I'd prefer the triangles be a bit bigger. The salsa is awesome - really, really good. My only disappointment lay in the actual street tacos. They weren't bad, but I was expecting greatness based on the feel of everything. And they turned out to be decent, not great. Barbacoa needed more moisture. Chicken was decent - also needed a little something more. While much of this place felt authentic, the street tacos weren't quite there. The rice and beans were also... forgettable. Boring. Store-bought taste. Good: Atmosphere People and service Chips and salsa - I gorged on this and found myself considering buying their salsa in bulk Needs a *leetle* help: Street tacos (at least barbacoa and chicken) Forgettable: Rice and beans I want to like this place more. It's a very likeable place. But it's kind of so-so, food-wise. A little hit or miss. I might stop in next time we're in town, but ... maybe not. read more

Tortilleria Matehula - Breakfast Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Corsicana, Texas

Thanks, Yelp. We were looking for a late lunch/early dinner on the way back to DFW. I read up in Corsicana and the Tortilleria was all that seemed decent that was open on a Sunday. The restaurant is across the street from the cute, old historic district but it's in a boring, non-descript strip mall. I suspect if it was across the street they could charge double and catch through traffic. The menu is a little hard to decipher as it's so basic but the food was great. I was happy with my street tacos. My kids just wanted queso and flour tortillas and they were happy. I thought the dip was a little too sweet for cheese dip. I think it was just melted cheese. No spices even. Date had the quesadilla and reported it wasn't great but he thinks he may have been come down with a stomach ailment. I am a fan. I'll be back. read more

Very friendly and accommodating service. To-go only during COVID. In addition to menu items, they had housemade flour and corn tortillas, housemade gorditas, farm eggs, dried red chiles, horchata, coffee, etc. $24 for 4 breakfast meals and 3 drinks. Great value. read more

Great service and the best Mexican food in town! The salsa is so good! We love the street tacos, enchiladas verdes and the quesadillas

We were daytripping in Corsicana and we arrived hungry. We'd stopped off at the nearby Visitors' Center and were hunting for parking when we saw the lot next to both the Visitors' Center and theTortilleria Matehula. Tortillerias make tortillas and often showcase their wares in burritos--good, filling comfort food. I was rather disappointed when we entered. There were two large display cases which should have been full of baked goods. Instead, there were just a few empenadas and conchas which didn't look like they'd been made on the premises. There was a partial menu board overhead and a menu taped to the display case. I speak Spanish which helped with the ordering. The menu did not offer full descriptions of all the items and my monolingual friend was unable to read much of the menu. I was familiar with the items and ordered potato and egg for myself and eggs and ham for my friend. We chose to eat in the restaurant. I was impressed with the restaurant side decor. It was much nicer than I expected out of a utilitarian tortilleria. I loved the dramatic red walls but was puzzled by the huge New York scenes. A server brought us a basket of freshly made tortilla chips and salsa which tasted like it had come straight from the garden. The chips were just what I like in a chip--thick and obviously housemade, not those puny chips which you usually find in Tex-Mex establishments. The salsa had a nice kick without overwhelming the tastebuds. Our orders came out. We had get our drinks, Cokes in the bottle, from the drinks case. The server offered us glasses with ice. The food was hearty and filling, just what we were looking for. The flour tortillas were smaller than I'm used to but delicious. The refried beans which accompanied our order tasted housemade. If/when we come back to Corsicana, we'll be stopping here again! read more

Found this gem passing through town on my way back to Austin! Their chips and salsa's are all made in house and phenomenal. My boyfriend ordered chicken enchiladas and an al pastor taco, I ordered a one chicken and one carne asada taco fully dressed with cilantro and onions. Everything was incredibly flavorful, I ate so quickly I forgot to take a picture! Their tortillas are also made in house and you can tell. I loved them so much I had to buy a bag of red corn to take home and enjoy! I highly suggest this restaurant to locals and passerby's alike! read more

This is a great local place with great tortillas and great service! The location is hidden behind several buildings, but once you find it, it's a great value! Just outside of the downtown area and about a 5 minute walk from most of the major shops in the area. Would recommend if you like street tacos! read more

If you aren't eating here you're missing the best Mexican food in Corsicana. Period. The menu is full of all your taqueria favorites made with obvious love and care. The complimentary tortilla chips are thick cut, crispy like a boss, and if you can't get enough you can take a bag home with you. The salsa roja is seasoned just right and bitey and they give you two bottles of house made hot sauce to further glorify your food if you feel froggy. Every dish we ordered was made correctly, to order, with fresh ingredients, and the taste was phenomenal; exactly what it should be, but too often is not these days. I don't live in town, but you can bet that every time I'm here I'll be saving a meal for Tortilleria Matehula. read more

I had an extended stay in Corsicana and was worried about finding good food. I live in LA and I'm used to having infinite options...which is definitely not the case here, and which is why I was SO HAPPY to find Tortilleria Matehula!! Y'all this place is BOMB.

Mediocre at best. Server took our drink order fairly quickly but food took much too long to come out. Also, the server ignored us multiple times and walked by without checking on us or refilling our chips. Street tacos were meh. Corn tortillas were stiff and too dry. Barbacoa, chicken and carne asada were very bland and favor less. Pastor however was very delicious. Chicken enchiladas had dry chicken on the inside. read more
