Armenta's Cafe - Mexican Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

Service is fair and prompt. The restaurant is very small and has a cramped feeling when busy which makes the noise very loud and concentrated. The carne asada had good flavor but was EXTREMELY greasy! The biggest downside is that you cannot substitute ANYTHING not even for an up charge so review the menu online and make sure it's EXACTLY what you want. Overall probably won't be back. read more

Awesome service. Casual and upbeat vibe. Food was soooo tasty! The price was great for the quality and portion of food. Super!

Get in your car and pleaseeeee come visit this establishment. When I tell you they serve amazing food, and great customer service. I was in town for business and all I can say is I went 2 days in a row. Each time was greater and full of flavor. I went with the favorite porkchop special. It's huge, 2 pork chops, rice, guacamole, beans and warm tortillas. The salsa is spicy and just the right amount of kick. This chips are hot and fresh. I returned the next day and had the Taco Perricos, marinated beef fajita meat. Loaded plate and enough to share or take home. I took it to my hotel and had a late night treat. Happy faces, full tummies and satisfaction on all menu choices. I promise you won't be disappointed. Take care, happy eating. read more

Food was delicious and reasonably priced. We will for sure go back. Even our daughter loved it and she is not a fan of Mexican food.

Armenta's Cafe is a must in San Angelo! Really good chile relents! The service is quick and attentive - even with a packed house the food arrived in record time! read more

This is a quaint cafe, super friendly wait staff. My plate was the Sasha Special (Kid's or Senior's plate). Very good and satisfying. Husbands plate was chili relleno with carne Molina, (ground beef) guacamole w/ Pico rice and beans. When we are back in San Angelo we will be back. read more

This was good. I came on the recommendation of multiple people where I am working this week. It's the best Mexican food I've had in Texas. It has flavor and some spice. Service was friendly. I ordered a few things to try multiple things, and even though I hadn't eaten all day, I couldn't finish everything. my favorite was the cheese enchilada, but the fajita meat in the tacos was excellent. The chile relleno was also very good. The rice had good flavor, and I don't think I had had ranchero beans before. Overall very good, short wait, friendly service. The family also owns "the grill." read more

Armenta's Cafe - Sour cream chicken enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - San Angelo, Texas

Armenta's Cafe has been around for about 28 years and has been serving the residents of San Angelo, Texas. Everyone in town knows, and has been too, Armenta's - and now it's our turn. Armenta's sits on a corner in a residential section of San Angelo with parking of the sides and a big parking lot across the street, where we parked. A good number of people are here and Armenta's has expanded out to one side with a nice large dining area. We went in via the Main Front Door, were greeted by the Hostess and informed to take a seat anywhere you want. Found a booth and made ourselves comfortable. By looking around inside you can tell Armenta's has been around for a long time and has a Very Warm feeling, but well used. It's also kind of crowded with tables in the center stationed pretty close to the booths and the decor is what one would expect in a Mexican Restaurant - nicely done, especially in the newer section. Maci is our Server and brought over a basket of their Very Warm Fresh Chips and a bowl of their Very Hot dipping Sauce, but very Flavorful - and it is HOTTT. My Wife and I started off with a glass of water. We looked over the Menu trying to decide what we want. A couple days ago I informed my Wife and they have Fried Shrimp, which is one of her favorites - and that's what she wants. Maci returned with our waters and we placed our order. My Wife is going with the "Fried Shrimp": 6-Large Fried Shrimp with French Fries, Rice Pilaf, Salad and Toast. I am having "Armenta's Fajita Enchiladas"; 3-Soft Rolled Corn Tortillas filled with Marinated Beef Fajitas, American & Monterrey Cheese. Served with Roasted Tomatoes, Chile De Arbol Sauce, garnished with Guacamole. For our drinks my Wife is having a Diet Coke and I ordered their Horchata. It's been a long time since I had one of those and I LoVe ThEm. Maci took our order and we enjoyed those Warm Chips and HOTTT dipping sauce - that stuff is really goooood. More and more people are coming into Armenta's and all the tables & booths are filled. The adjoining room has it's own outside door for access and they are almost filled up - lots of people are here. Maci brought over our drinks, chatted with us for a short time and I presented her with the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award and she loved it. I don't always hand it out early like this, but Maci is Very Sweet in checking on us as she has and this place is really busy - she earned it. My Horchata is really good with a nice amount of Cinnamon throughout - love that flavor. Soon my Wife's Fried Shrimp arrived and those 6-Large Shrimp are actually Red in color due to the Breading, which has a nice crunch to them and tastylicious Shrimp inside (my Wife let me have one). Her Rice Pilaf is on the dry side but her Salad is Fresh and Crisp. The French Fries are also a little dry and no crunch but you can tell they are All Potato with nothing added. My Fajita Enchiladas is a Beautiful Presentation of the entire dish. The Enchiladas has a fair amount of Fajitas inside and they are different but pretty good. Love the Chile De Arbol Sauce on top, some really good flavor there. The Rice is moist with good flavor and the Re-fried Beans (which was not listed) covered with Cheese is really good - nice flavor. I actually had a couple of my Wife's Shrimp and there were some French Fries left on her plate. I ate all of mine because that's what I do - and I do it very well. Nancy even made a comment about that, that her Mom would be very proud of me cleaning my plate - like I said, it's what I do. Armenta's is pretty good, especially for the price compared to other places. You get some good food that will fill you up for a little money - and some Darn Good Service. The whole time we were there we noticed that All their Staff is really busy taking care of their customers. When we left there were a lot of vehicles parked around Armenta's and the big lot was almost full. We enjoyed our 12th Anniversary outing and Armenta's is a nice place. We are going to lighten it up for our Dinner tonight because we ate a Big Lunch. read more

With a quick "yelp" search, we found this Tex-Mex gem! I the party I was with could not believe that we found this place when usually, they are stuck to their chain restaurant habits. Sierra was an excellent server and suggested the flash fried pork chops special... It was everything and more that she said it would be. The fresh flour tortillas are everything you would expect from a West Texas town. Walking in, you could tell you were amongst some good people from cowboy hats, to blue collar workers, to even a few couples that looked as though they were enjoying a one on one date; everyone found something they could enjoy at Armenta's Cafe. read more

Came for lunch and enjoyed it! I had the carne asada tacos and enjoyed them! I didn't like the rice very much, but the beans were great. I also liked how they gave you limes and a side of other toppings for the tacos. Overall it was a good experience! read more

The food is amazing and the service is just as good!! Great place to eat if you're in San Angelo

Stumbled across Armenta's one day while visiting San Angelo. When the parking lot is full mid-afternoon you know it's got to be good!! The food is as fantastic and the service is 5 star!! The servers treat you like family. We have been back several times since our initial visit and the food and service is consistently outstanding!! read more

the only Mexican food place I recommend to all of my out of town friends. their quesadillas are the best i've ever had

If you try this place, you will not be sorry. Star the 4.5 stars on here and gave it a try. Seriously like the best steak tacos I've ever had, so much flavor. The Salsa's were great as well. The place was very clean and friendly staff. Will definitely be back again this week before I leave town. Well done Armenta's read more

Service. Food. The best. Oh the chips and salsa!!! Enchiladas. Coming back to try Caldo.

The best chili relleno I've ever had their deserts are too tempting to pass on. We shared a German chocolate cake and couldn't finish it Service was fine too. Lots of people were there so the good value word gets around read more

While visiting my mom in San Angelo we decided to try this place based on a recommendation. Horrible food but great service.

Armenta's was a Delicious stop on our way to Big Bend! The homemade desserts were perfect, finishing touch!

Decided to stop by and try this place due to the surplus of good Yelp reviews! It's a small, cozy little place with excellent service and good prices! Chips and salsa are both served warm. The queso was creamy and comforting. What really impressed us was the meals. We both got the cheese enchilada plate which has more than enough food on it for the price of $8! The beans and rice were perfect! If you're looking for some good refried beans then this is the place! read more

Ate here last week. Came to this restaurant because of other Yelp reviews, in particular one that said how great the beef fajitas were. My friend and I had had the beef fajitas and sure enough they were fantastic. Heretofore, my favorites were at Lupe Tortilla, where they do make excellent fajitas, at a very dear price. The meat at Armenta's is even better at a far more reasonable price. The 'fixin's' were not really substantial enough, but I'm not deducting points because the meat itself was, as another reviewer said, "the BEST beef fajitas I have had in my" 54 "years on this planet." (Thanks, Phil G.). They really were and my friend agreed. These were magnificent. Not even a hint of the chewiness or toughness one is used to with fajitas. It was pretty busy on a Tuesday evening. The place is unassuming, almost divey. But the food is great and our service was really good. Sadly, they were out of the blueberry cheesecake that so many other reviewers rave about. The cherry cheesecake had to do for us. Anyway, this little place is definitely worth trying! read more

Great food! Wonderful staff! Outstanding experience. Can't wait to go again when I'm back in San Angelo!

Came here because it got recommended by lots of other people and locals. Definitely a local taqueria. Don't expect to find a margarita here, only bottled beer and some select wines, if there not out, as in our case. Food was ok, nothing to really brag about. Tapatios were fried a bit too long, and I didn't expect to have my taco finished off in a sand which press. A friend wanted fish tacos, but they don't offer those, so she settled for caldo de pescado (fish soup). It was good, but a whole cut up fish with bones (we were warned about the bones before ordering) made it somewhat challenging to eat. The brisket quesadillas were humongous and almost did not fit on the plate, and was the only thing that was eaten in full. Would I come here again? Perhaps, but only after I had the chance to check out what other restaurants have to offer. read more

Wow.... The BEST beef fajitas I have had in my 56 years on this planet.... The meat has amazing flavor and is exceptionally tender. This is a "family style" hidden gem. Very causal and homey. This is authentic as they come and a very popular watering hole for locals. I can't attest to the other menus items as my wife and I shared the Fajitas for 2. But, if they are half as good, you will be begging to come back. The service was amazing and worth every penny of the 22% tip. Hungry for hard to find authentic home style cooking at a very reasonable price..? Stop looking and go here.... :) read more

Food is really tasty and flavorful. Service is always great. Support small businesses.

This was so wonderful, we enjoyed the great display and great atmosphere. Fantastic job on the presentation of foods!

Best authentic Mexican food, hands down. There are plenty of Tex Mex restaurants in San Angelo but if you actually want Mexican food, here's your place. The food was amazing and the service was great. The place is always busy but they take great care in accommodating you and providing you with COVID precautions, as all wait staff wear masks, all tables have hand sanitizer, and you can even use a QR code to digitally view the menu. I had fajitas with shrimp, sausage, steak and chicken and they were amazing. The fajita veggies were crunchy, well cooked and flavorful, just as I remember in Mexico. The corn tortillas were delicious. My fiancé got the New Mexico Enchiladas and they were delicious, and the sauce served with it was out of this world. I wish I could go back frequently because if I could, I would. Looking forward to stopping by on my next trip to San Angelo. read more

Wow! Lived in Dallas, Texas for 16 years and found ourselves in San Angelo for a golf tournament where the locals recommended Armentas. This is the best Mexican food to ever cross my lips. The fresh salsa and perfectly baked chips were the perfect starter. We then ordered the Veracruzana enchiladas and the sour cream enchiladas. They were served piping hot and full of flavor. The service was top notch too. We then washed it all down with a slice of German chocolate cake that was insanely good. Do yourself a favor and eat here!! read more

Packed to the gills during a week lunch, I was impressed we were able to snag a table for lunch so quickly. The prompt service, reasonable prices, and variety on the menu did not disappoint! I had chicken tacos and they were delicious! With a solid plate of food I could not possibly finish, and a fresh and flavorful meal, I was over the moon. Mexican food isn't my fave, I tend to like lighter fare, but this place was pretty darn good. The lettuce was actually green, I like typical shredded iceberg which Is transparent, and avocado options, I was very happy! read more
