$2 extra for this.
Klin L.

This was so bad. It literally tasted rotten. Overpriced "beef fajita" quesadilla is the thin cheap kind even though they charge $2 extra for it. It's also on a pretty small tortilla so it's not even a good size. Comes with rice and beans but no pico or toppings. The chicken fajita taco came with only chicken and a slice of American cheese, not kidding. The chicken is what tasted rotten and the texture was like canned chicken, like it just fell apart in a weird way and it tasted horrible. My son had a soggy grilled cheese sandwich. The fries were ok, so there's that. Seriously some of the worst Mexican food I've had in corpus. Some of the worst food in general.

Food is always Delicious, and hot! We love this restaurant, close to the Shoreline too. Will be back again. :)

Carne Gusada and Charlotte beans.

Great TexMex, especially the Carne Gusada!!! We will return from San Antonio! Charro beans were delicious as well!

Just came down from Dallas Tx to visit my mom and she brought the family here to eat. The server and drinks were great but the food was very disappointing. We all left a good portion on our plates and just finished our drinks and left.

The nachos with ground beef. Watery because the lettuce used was not dried off well.

I ordered Chipotle chicken First I ordered the homemade flour tortillas with the plate, they were thick and underwhelming. Then I switched to the homemade corn, they were also thick and not any good The rice tasted old and reheated several times The chicken had a hint of chipotle taste but not spicy. The green peppers and onions were the freshest best part

Spicy Shrimp Dish - *WARNING* SUPER SPICY

Food was okay. Menudo was a little bland. That's all I remember, as sadly I was not impressed.

If you go through my reviews you will see I am a tough yet fair and honest reviewer that travels…read moreeverywhere. I honestly can not say enough wonderful things about this place. This place is what you dream of when you are on the road traveling and need a great meal, fast, for a great price, served by friendly attentive people. I have been in town working for a couple of months and I am here at least twice a week. My advice is to get a combo. I usually get the Texas Plate or Leon's Plate (Both $9). The flour tortillas are house made and very soft and fluffy. I ordered corn tortillas with my lengua tacos one time and they asked, "Do you want store bought or home made?" Is that a real question? Salsa is goofy in the Styrofoam cup, but here's a tip... you can ask for green sauce or a hotter red sauce they are both better than what you initially get. Service is Jimmy Johns fast. Don't plan on having a conversation while you wait for your food. I ordered and within 3 minutes my food came out piping hot. Fantastic flavors and extremely filling. You wont leave hungry. My only nitpick gripe would be the tamales are really good but you can only get them on Leon's Plate. I would love a combo with 1 tamale and 2 tacos of your choice with rice and beans. Best part is the price. I got the Leon's plate and a large Margarita and my tab was $13.52 + tip. Hell yeah...

I've been here a handful of times…read more Visit 1: carne guisada plate ordered through the drive-thru, delicious and love convenience. Visit 2: dined in and ordered carne asada plate, delicious. Visit 3: got breakfast thru the drive thru, chilaquiles with egg mixed in, no salsa ranchera They made the corn tortilla chips very soggy and there were ONIONS which I do not like and which was not disclosed, only ate a quarter or the top layer of the plate. Visit 4: was sick with vomiting so got tortilla soup. Chicken was cooked but not tenderized. I liked the one from Cancun's better. Visit 5: brought hubby here. He commented that carne guisada was overcooked, I tasted and agreed. I put this place to the true test by ordering menudo... and they failed. Menudo tasted like they didn't wash tripas after parboiling them. Each bite was initially good follow up by an uncomfortable, dirty aftertaste. My verdict: not bad, just mid. Maybe some issues with quality control. I'll be back to try the seafood though.

It was absolutely delicious. The spices were balanced and perfect. The chips and salsa were also unique and wonderful. Very glad we chose to stop by. We will head over there next time we are in Corpus Christi. I appreciate that the menu is mostly gluten free too!

Unfortunately this place didn't hit for us The floors were…read moresticky and the table we sat at was not cleaned very well. I based my decision to go on how many stars it had. It's one of the only restaurants in the area above 4 stars. The service was good the waiter was attentive and seemed like a good hang but the food was something else. We were served chips and sauce that was delicious no complaints there. But it was when we received our entrees it all went down hill my wife settled for the abodobo shrimp tacos because every thing else she wanted was out of stock and I got the taco platter. The taco platter only really had one decent taco on it the other 2 were lacking flavor and filling. The chorizo taco was decent. The asada taco was lacking flavor and had barely any cilantro and onion and the pastor taco was rubbery and had no flavor whatsoever so ever. Had to drench it in the delectable hot sauce to make it go down a little easier. The shrimp tacos were loaded with shrimp but lacking flavor. Overall I hope this place gets it together it seems like it can be a great spot if it tries hard enough the staff is super friendly and I hope they succeed. Food was rough but the server was great

My boyfriend and I recently visited Yola for lunch after having it on our list for quite some time,…read moreand it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere and a beautifully designed space that made for the perfect date spot! We started with the Queso Fundido and Nachos con Carne, both of which were recommended to us--and absolutely did not disappoint! For our main course, we shared the Tacos de Asada and the Birria Lunch Special. Not only was the lunch special a great value, but it also came with some of the best beans I've had in a while-officially my new favorite! Everything we tried was rich in flavor, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to explore more of the menu. If our first visit is any indication, I know we won't be disappointed!

I've never had them served this way but was not disappointed. No horseradish served here, fyi. We also got queso fundido which was delicious- portion seemed small but made three full tacos. Draft beer was cold, Bloody Mary was outstanding. Their specialty cocktails looked amazing. I'd love to try but i was really itching for a bloody that day. Our waiter had to be called for everything, we didn't even get silverware or napkins. When we called we got bar napkins while every other guest had proper utensils. Overall, great experience, I'd go back and sit at the bar next time.
