It was late and I was in town on business and staying at Hampton Inn just off I20. I was hungry and…read morenot wanting to go anywhere and there was El Taco was right out front so I Yelped them and they had decent reviews. Side note about reviews, when I see a bunch of 1 stars, I take a look at those reviews to see what was the problem and who the reviewer is. If you do reviews only when something doesn't go your way, that holds very little weight in my opinion. In the other hand, if the 1stars are coming from Elite members, then there maybe a problem. Anyway, back to the review. I checked out the online menu and decided I'd go with their #2 most popular dish, Crazy Rice. I got the one with all the meats. It comes with chips n salsa. Order was ready in about 15 minutes and 1st thing I noticed when I picked up the bag was it was heavy. Got back to the room and found out why. The large tin container was packed full of rice with queso and shrimp and grilled chicken and beef fajitas. I was packed. More of an appetizer, and maybe it is/was. I was able to eat about 1/4 of it using the chips as a spoon. I put the leftover in the frig for later. Not going to waist for sure. So next time I'm in Marshall, I know what I'm getting. Sure beats the tuna packs and crackers I usually eat at night when I'm on the road. Later.

To put it short she canceled her quesadillas after she got them. They were soggy and looked like they fried the tortilla. We ordered taco salad and that was soggy. Will not be eating there anymore.

I'm used to Arizona Mexican food and Tex mex so I can't give an honest review without being biased…read moreas this food just was not the same.. I didn't love the rice and beans or salsa at all which is usually the first thing I use to determine if the rest of the food will be good .. I thought that the rice was over cooked and lacked flavor and beans were too thick and flavorless .. the rest of the food was good I ordered the carne de puerco/roja it was very good with authentic red chile flavor and the rest of my party ordered the lengua tacos and street corn .. I didn't love it but the service was great and the atmosphere was nice and clean.. this is Mexico City street food..! Different but good.

One of Lufkin''s popular lunch spots, lunch specials are offered here so of course my coworkers and…read moreI hit this place up when we have an assignment in Lufkin. The Tex-Mex options here involve your normies such as enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos, fajitas, nachos, and tacos. All of these (or a combination of these) are part of the express lunch menu which is what we usually order. Most of the time, people in our group get some sort of enchiladas with the favorites being the avocado or the verde due to the sauces and cheesiness mixed in. The avocado is probably my favorite since I'm an avocado lover with the taste and texture. Other favorites are the street tacos where it comes with three tacos and the rice and beans. These tacos are quite large so it's not the traditional mexican street tacos with the onions/cilantro on the miniature tortillas. They are also packed and I mean PACKED with proteins; I've only gotten the al pastor cause I keep coming back to it. Something about it that makes it addicting with the tenderness of the meat and spices. We'll have to try dinner here sometime cause they have quite the selection of entrees such as the drunken shrimp, fajita platter, and pollo poblano. Bueno Trabajo Herraduras!
