Stopped by here for breakfast /brunch on our way to the Mineral Springs. The food was super authentic and very tasty. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The place is tiny on the inside with only a few tables and it appears a little run down, but don't let looks fool you...stop in! They also have a drive through. read more

My bride and I went there for breakfast with my family (Robert, Mike Evans and Tony Carrion) before heading back to Las Vegas. We had a variety of breakfast taco's which were all excellent. The coffee was fresh and the environment was welcoming and friendly. We will definitely go back on our next trip to Luling TX. Highly recommended if you are local or in the surrounding townships! read more

I'm shocked that they put so much fat in their birria - it's like they don't know how to make it? The salsa was mostly water, the beef steak was tough - must have been a bad cut of meat. The chicken (fajita?) tasted like air. The al pastor was really dry - no piña. The carne guisada was ok, but not much flavor in the gravy. Nothing is seasoned - so be forewarned. They also forgot our sides of guacamole and pico de gallo. We spent a lot of money for not much return. We only ate half of the tacos we got, just to taste, but have to doctor everything into new dishes to make it edible. Hope they get better at making food one day! There's not much in Luling, but I would suggest Lugo's if you are hungry until things change. read more

We're a super fan. It's fresh, authentic and awesome. Arrived from tubing all morning. Son picked the place out based on ratings. He and his sister battle for supremacy and with this choice, he jumped in the lead. Forget the building. Enjoy the service and the good. read more

From the outside, I wondered if I should go in... it's a converted gasoline station. When I stepped through the door, though, I became at ease immediately, recognizing it to be a place where the locals eat. A single waitress, working her rear end off, provided good service. I tipped her appropriately. I had enchiladas and puffy tacos, and really enjoyed them. Beans, rice, and tortillas were very good, too. If I found myself in Luling again, I'd eat there again. read more

food is great but the cook didnt have no gloves on cooking the food people are great no gloves is the only part that is yuk

I've been remiss not to rate before. I've been eating here for years--a trip back from the hill country is not the same without it. I love their food--and it's fast and I can eat outside with my dogs. Perfection! read more

My Mom's name is Asuzena, so when I saw this place I had to stop!!! The homemade tortillas were great, better than my Mom's and tacos filling from carne guisada to bacon, potato and egg were on point. The place was reasonably priced, glad to support small business! read more

Don't let the outside deceive you and if you do then shame on you. Azucena's was delicious! Both corn and flour tortillas are homemade. We wanted to try an assortment of tacos, which were all reasonably priced, and all were equally freshly made to perfection. I can't wait to drive back thru Luling just to eat here again. read more

As others have stated, the food and service were both excellent! Well worth the short detour off of Hwy 10 and best tortillas I've had in a while - soft, warm, large, fresh and stood up well to over medium eggs, hash browns and bacon. Coffee was also great. read more

Omg their al pastor tacos are to die for! The drive through is so convenient too! Can't wait to try their breakfast tacos.

This place is 10/10!! Food and service was great, the food was delicious!! I had a menudo and taco de barbacoa and the tortillas are hand made, husband got birria tacos which he loved as well.. agua de horchata was delicious. Real authentic Mexican food read more

Driving back to Austin from the Texas Coast, I Yelped heavily for some Tex-Mex restaurants that would 1) Be open on Sundays. 2) Had outdoor seating for our pup & to stretch our feet from the car ride. 3) Hand made tortillas!! This place checked all of our boxes and more. After scrolling through the reviews, I warned my car full beforehand to not let the looks of the outside spoil our opinion on the food.... There's no way it could. This place is authentic as it comes. Hand made tortillas means hand made tortilla CHIPS! Order BOTH salsas! I had the El Pastor Puffy Taco with rice & beans. LIFE HACK: If you are unsure on a TexMex restaurant, eat their rice and beans first.. It's normally a good foreshadow! Anyway the rice and beans were absolutely delicious and my El Pastor couldn't of been better. I can also say great things (after savaging through my families leftovers) -Chicken Tortilla Soup -Fish and Shrimp Soup -Beef Fajitas read more

The place looks sketchy but the service and food was very good. The salsas were homemade not the normal green/red salsas they serve in most other restaurants. The food was good and served quickly and the waitress was very attentive and friendly. read more

Never Judge a book by its cover, from the outside it might not look like much, but let me tell you this is the best Mexican I have had in a very long time. From the homemade tortillas to the amazing menudo this place is a must try. Barbacoa was absolutely amazing not greasy at all tortillas are sturdy absolutely amazing experience. Must come again read more

Driving from Galveston to San Antonio we want a quick meal. If you want authentic Mexican you will find it here. This isn't a fancy chain, or anything upscale. Good food at a good price read more

In general, great Mexican food and BBQ are found in 'joints'. So when you read comments about this restaurant and first see it some may be taken aback by the building itself....don't be. This place serves awesome breakfast tacos, and at a good price. Service has always been friendly, and they have a drive-thru in the back of the building. In short, it's a great joint that you won't regret trying! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! The outside of the building looks sketching but omg the breakfast is amazing.. We had chorizo and eggs plate & the Barbacoa plate read more

The food was hot and good for a small town with not a lot around. I was quite impressed. I had the enchiladas, rice and beans. The prices are great for the amount of food you get. read more

The food is great, the problem has always been parking and seating, if they have 10 people, the place is full

Muy tipico! Great food, very reasonable. Friendly, attentive staff. Loved the red salsa but wouldn't order the green salsa again. We'll be back! read more

Would give them negative stars for service if possible. Food was mediocre at best but service was downright abhorrent, they did have a somewhat decent agua fresca though. read more

Driving through Lulling and came across this little gem. They young lady taking my order was so sweet.

Granted this mexican restaurant is a very basic no frills building. Inside is not much better. Low and behold though...the food is outstanding! We ordered the Machacado plate which is shredded dry beef mixed into scrambled egg and mixed in diced onion and tomato. The plate also comes with refried beans and cubed grilled potatoes. You get your choice of homemade corn or flour tortillas. We also asked for and received a sauce that ensured a wonderful mix of flavor (green salsa). Oh my gosh...truly a wonderful all freshly made dish. The chips and hot sauce great too. Chips a bit on the harder side but wow...loved the sauce. I don't believe the chips were homemade but we still liked them. I ate the Barbacoa and two eggs over easy plate with diced potatoes and refried beans. The meat is authentic cow cheek and wonderfully flavored. Just outstanding!! All homemade. The corn and flour tortillas are made fresh and came out hot and soft. We were floored by quality and the price. Great value!! Our total with tax was $26 and change for two big meals. That included two teas as well. We left a great tip because the hostess and waitress were so friendly. Yes...1000 times yes...we ate coming back. Best little mexican restaurant in Luling, TX. Sorry I did not show the hot sauce...LOL We ate it all up. We could not help ourselves. P.S. We paid cash to avoid credit card charge. read more

This is the perfect example of why I need to have 3.5 stars. The food was definitely 4 stars but it's a tiny dirty hole in the wall. But....If you are looking for good authentic Mexican breakfast, this is the place. The Menudo was soooo good my husband ordered a second bowl. The bacon, bean and cheese tacos were absolutely sinful. The American breakfast of pancakes and eggs were mediocre and should have stuck with traditional Mexican selections. With minimal food options in the area, we would come back again. read more

This was one of the best meals we had on a road trip out west in October 2019. We were the only ones there as they were getting ready to close, but the service was great and food fresh and delicious. We felt like we were being served from a cozy home kitchen. The homemade tacos were so so good. Definitely worth a stop. I am reviewing this a year later as I was yearning for an adventure like this again soon. read more

Azucena's Mexican Restaurant - Blink and you might miss it! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Luling, Texas

First thing, we were hungry for a good breakfast and wanted somewhere we never been. Saw this place only because of the banner that said "Menudo" on it. At first glance the building was old and the dining area felt cramped. To my surprise everyone including my wife loved the food. There is stuff for people that don't really like Mexican and for those die hards. It feels really local. Half their business is like a walk up drive-thru place with patio seating. Thought I would put this place on the map because it cooks up tasty authentic flavors. It said now open and I hope it stays open. Just don't know if a place like this can handle a large volume of costumers. read more

This place is a little hole-in-the-wall so it's easy to miss, but I highly recommend this place to my friends. The tacos are great, but the plate that never misses a beat is the Menudo. It's one of the best I've had. Not greasy, the broth is smooth and flavors are good. I will continue to come for more! read more

This "hole in the wall" was amazing. The tortillas were fresh! The staff was extremely polite as well

I did the drive up window and it was about 15 minutes before I got my food. But the tacos were good. The sign painter had dyslexia issue. See photo. Not sure I would return if service is so slow. read more

Restaurant appearance isn't the most appealing. But food was good, Tortillas are bomb.

We were looking for Breakfast tacos on our way back to Houston, found this gem. Everything was delicious. The salsas were flavorful and delicious. The tortillas were pretty good. For the price and portions, it was definitely a deal. The azada, al pastor, and chilaquiles tacos were life. read more
