    Breakfast taco: potato, bacon, egg, and cheese
    Katrina B.

    This place is great. We ordered potato, egg, bacon, and cheese breakfast tacos with extra green and red salsas and DANG Y'ALL I cannot recommend this place enough. Killer ~homemade~ tortillas, perfectly cooked bacon, and salsa so good I ended up sipping it after each bite We actually came back a second time the next morning for the exact same order, that's how much we enjoyed this place. Definitely want to come back to try the rest of the menu!

    If you want to eat half empty tacos go there ( $4 / small taco with big tortillas and nothing inside of it) not that they just lifted prices double or triple after Corona , but amount of food you get is very minimal. This used to be our favorite breakfast place , not anymore. Pretty disappointed If you are in San Marcos area and want to eat breakfast- go to Toma Taco near by great service and great food .

    Tortillas are homemade, menudo was fresh, barbacoa gordita was also great and breakfast tacos were delicious! Our family will back!

    Our server was great and very nice! Our family will definitely be back here! Awesome breakfast place!

    My husband & I were looking for a place to eat a good Mexican breakfast and we happened to drive by and outside he noticed that the building had homemade flour tortillas written outside in red letters so we circled around & gave Wow-Wees Cafe a visit. Well, wow-wee we're not disappointed. He ordered the 4 cheese enchilada plate & a chorizo & egg taco. I ordered the Woo-Wee Special that came w/a small menudo, 2 over medium eggs, a small portion of barbacoa, refried beans, & potato....it was the perfect amount. We ended up ordering a pound of barbacoa to go to take to my niece. Everything was delicious & our waitress was very attentive. And, yes, the homemade flour tortillas were excellent. We are happy campers.

    Being from SA, I consider San Marcos a second home. But, I've never put much stock in their Texas, Mexican food. Basically, and sadly it's not their thing. Most places here get one or two things right, but they always stop short. Maybe, because it's a college town, who knows. This place is no exception. I must've passed this place at least 1000 times as I head up to the school, and today I decided to stop for a couple of tacos. The short story is that the fillings were fine, but the tortillas were absolute crap, garbage. They had the texture of dry and unbaked pie crust and tasted like play dough. I won't dig deeper into it, but if you decide to visit, don't expect good tejano food. It's just another overrated taco joint feeding unsuspecting kids.

    Largest Burrito in Texas for under $10.... Down Home and Authentic to satisfy every taste bud. The chips and salsa mix are delicious. Bottled Coca~Cola and the XL Burrito selection will not fit on any plate, platter or in any people; except those who are champion consumers.

    The food can be good. I have been going here for years. However, the prices are outrageous, and they nickel and dime you for everything. Would you please tell me how this makes sense? I'll order a to-go XL burrito to receive a small container of salsa. You must add at least two or three more to make that even equivalent to the size of that burrito. A small problem, yes, but it is outrageous to charge three dollars extra for good salsa for that item. They change the prices every single time I come. It is never the same standard price. Greediness, poor management, and not going back. Such a shame. This place was good.

    Decided to get an inexpensive Mexican breakfast this morning with my boyfriend bc I've been here once before, but never again. This restaurant had the audacity/ ignorance that has led my bf with a mouth full of carne and cockroach yes, a whole cockroach. LUCKILY, He only ate one leg (pulled it out of his mouth ) and we feel BEYOND DISGUSTED. If he bit and crunched into that BIG GUY He would of lost his shit and went Godzilla mode on those mfs because there is NO WAY they just did this shit to us. I ran out so ducking fast because I have a sensitive stomach, but come on!! Think about the DISEASES BRUH. Do yourself a favor and do NOT waste your time like we did for a cheap Mexican breakfast

    Beware of the "5 Star" Reviews…read more Offering free drinks/apps in exchange. I do want to point out that I never submit reviews. Went in and sat down quick, yet the food took over an hour. We sat, ordered drinks along with the food when we got there. After we realized the people around us that arrived significantly later were already paying to leave, we got up to ask about our food as it had easily been 40 minutes. Got told it would be a couple of minutes, gave us waters. Mind you, we are now over an hour into waiting. Food started to roll out and we kept getting offered free chips in the meantime- sorry but this solves the situation how? We are now going to be full of chips and not food. 2 of the meals still took an extra 20 min after the majority rolled out and of course, my parents' food came out COLD. What were we waiting for on this exactly? A lady, who I am assuming is the manager, came to apologize, told us she would remove the 2 items from the ticket. We were understanding. However, she then admitted they dropped the ball- this is where this place really lost us. She stated that they tried to reheat the plates and just pass it as "fresh." Thank you for finally being honest but this truly just gave me a bad image of management. I felt like they just threw the team under the bus. We asked for the check and when we asked if she did comp the 2 plates, she gave an attitude responding, "I did, I fixed it" and then proceeded to send someone else to check us out. That is not how you manage or take ownership. As a manager myself, you take care of the person full on through to try and turn the situation around. Had she done that or had the staff communicated that they messed up when we had initially asked, we would've been completely fine instead all that happened here. We were in there for about 2.5 hours. Unfortunately left disappointed due to the good reviews we initially saw.

The new onions and peppers as well as eggs tasted fresher than most breakfast places. Still love their middle-ground salsa. Avocado toast benedict is Mr R's new favorite, (beating out their carnitas in his opinion and even after eating most of a tub of Fuego's good guacamole this weekend). I think it's absolutely wonderful, the only drawback being one of the soft eggs had leaked beautiful golden yolk but the base of toast and fried potatoes did a good job soaking it up. Enjoyable balance of rich and fresh, beautiful colors, filling without being sleep-inducing. It's more expensive than drive-through sausage biscuits or a taco stand and there's a wait if you don't call in your order ahead, but there is some tasty stuff here made with decent ingredients and presented well. Once again, it would have been worth the price without the coupon and I understand why this parking lot was busy after church hours. We'll definitely be back.

The last of us had bourbon pecan chicken. It was better than my sandwich but didn't really taste like chicken due to so much seasoning or marinade (I tried a bite of it as well) and the grits were similarly over saturated with some sort of flavoring.
