If you want authentic Mexican, this is a place to go. I had just broken my elbow and wanted Waldo de res. It was served traditionally and the broth was delicious. There was a whole steak in my soup! The corn was delicious. Bigger than most. My sister ordered cheese enchiladas with gravy and was happy. Prices are very reasonable. read more

We have been here several times over the past few years. Today (Sunday early afternoon) was the best time ever! The service and ambience were very good and the food was excellent! My wife had 3 tamales with generous portions of rice and beans. I had a big chicken fajitas plate which included guacamole, delicious salsa, and several tortillas. We've been to many very good Mexican restaurants in East Texas - This one wins the best value, convenient, and speedy prize. read more

The salsa is crave worthy. Hot salsa and cold salsa. The hot one is very spicy but I just order an horchata and I'm good. Kind of hole is the wall place and I believe it's family owned. Always great service and smiles. We just keep going back! read more

We've tried this restaurant several times, but it just doesn't suit our taste. We prefer a Tex Mex taste and this is not that, so we always come away disappointed. I have seen them busy during the lunch hour, but they are not busy in the evenings. I wish I liked it more because I love Mexican food! read more

Great selection of agua fresca, good menu, friendly service and really solid tacos. The food came out quickly and the place was super clean. I would come back. read more

Cinco De Mayo - Carnitas and barbacoa tacos with beans - Mexican Near Me - Lindale, Texas

Food and service both excellent. I had #19 Chicken breast with cheese and one enchilada, with rice and beans, pico de gallo and guacamole. Very reasonable price for the meal. The beer price could be a little better, but it would not stop me from going back. read more

The Gorditas are good but they're making them smaller and definitely not worth $6. That price was "ok" when they were making them bigger.

We love Cinco de Mayo the food is amazing we always get the carnitas and the refried beans are the same every time they're just so delicious great food nice people work there. read more

My husband and I stopped in to Cinco De Mayo for lunch and left quickly. I ordered Chips and salsa and as we were eating I noticed something in the chips. It turned out to be a piece of chicken with teeth marks on it. I asked the waitress if they "recycled" their chips as I showed her the chicken I had found. She said sorry it must have fallen off of the table when they prepared our order. No apology, no dropping the charge. We paid for our drinks and disgusting chips and left. Never again! read more

Mediocre at best. I was 1 of 4 customers. Never got my chips and salsa, but the guy who came in after me did. Server acted like i was a burden/ nuisance. I order the lunch beef fajitas. The meat tasted sour. I wont be going back. read more

The shrimp cocktail is phenomenal. It's just the right amount of spicy and a little sweet and they put tons of shrimp in it. I always eat until I'm so stuffed I can barely move. The ladies working here are always so sweet too. Awesome place. read more

Kinda border line, quality! I'm from San Diego and most Mexican places do not hold a candle to California style and quality. Beef here is terrible. They need to look I to the quality they are choosing. read more

The food and service is pretty good. Even during lunch time you can always find a place to sit. The staff is friendly and I've never been disappointed. read more

Good Mexican food I am Mexican and super picky about Mexican food but this place surprise Me read more

Queso is good, but the food is not very flavorful and expensive. Would not recommend to anyone

This is a hidden gem; I don't know how many times we've driven past this place without stopping. Had amazing pastor tacos, great ground beef, and m-f for lunch they give the table queso with their two types of salsa and chips Will definitely be back read more

Heard about it,finally tried it. Not disappointed! It was all delicious. Who needs fancy when you got excellent food. Let's start with the chips, salsas and queso was hot-and delicious. Chicken fajitas were superb and enough for 2. The layers of the flavors were very good. Enchilada plate was just as advertised. It was like a little Mexico explosion in there. Wait staff was very nice and compliments to the chef! A must of you crave some good food. read more

This little hole in the wall is a great FIND if you're having a Mexican food fix ! We stopped by when we were on the area and we're pleasantly surprised! Huge menu with authentic Mexican entrees and great margaritas and beer. I'm posting pics of Chile Rellenos, nachos, and tostadas. Your belly will be happy and content if you come here ! Plus it's great service. What else would you want ? read more

Visiting my parental units and was craving some Mexican food. They recommended this little home in the wall place, sooooo I did a call in order. Place is BOMB!!! Two enchiladas, a taco, rice and beans, sour cream and guacamole for $10.81!!! Omg the food is so good. read more

This place was awesome! Best pork carnitas we've ever had anywhere! Chicken flauta was amazing also. Don't be fooled by the exterior of building as it's very ordinary, but the service, recipes, atmosphere, and prices are fabulous. And who ever serves breakfast, lunch, AND dinner in any Latino restaurant anywhere?! Off the chain all the way! Enjoy my people! read more

Food is not good at all. Then try to charge you for chips and salsa if you're a little early before 11. Salsa sucks. Definitely Will not go back! read more

I love breakfast here. I usually order take out. Their salsa verde is very yummy. Breakfast burritos are big and STUFFED full. It's more of a diner atmosphere so it's a little noisy so I don't dine in very often. Service is friendly. read more

Went here to meet my spouse 1/2 way between Shreveport and Dallas. Glad we chose this place to meet. It's a local place with great food. Two of us got the Caldo de Res, it came in a huge bowl, more than either diner could eat it all. I got the Chile Relleno which is my go to in a Mexican restaurant I haven't been to before. It was very good with a little crispness on the batter. I'll go there again. read more

These guys give you your monies worth! They serve authentic Mexicano. The plate presentation is not pretty, but it's delicious and you will most likely want to take some of your order home. Their salsas are really good as is their white caeso (I believe it's goat cheese). Go, they are better than other local TexMex restaurants. read more

Amazingly delicious and affordable breakfast. Everything is super fresh and the portions are generous. The service is impeccable as well. They've recently updated the interior portion of the restaurant and it's extremely inviting. The wait staff keeps the dining area very clean at all times too. Support a local business and have a much better meal and overall experience here than at a chain restaurant! read more

Cozy little place to eat. Menu has pictures to order by. Food is great. Staff are friendly and on top of their game. Excellent prices.

Food was good. Service was friendly. Ambiance was typical Mexican restaurant. My family and I didn't go home.hungry. recommend the tamales

Mexican food is hard to come by once you leave south central Texas. Everything is sloppy Tex-Mex with little thought or freshness in food (see chips/salsa where carrots weren't pickled or seasoned??), and the focus is on volume and speed. This was my third place to try that wasn't a chain (eg On the Border) and I have yet to find decent salsa. God is consistently average. Here, I came for lunch and sat for 5-6 minutes waiting to be told to pick a table and sit anywhere... staff weren't busy when you look at the ratio of tables to wait staff, but they acted like they couldn't keep up. I wanted to just grab them and pull them all aside for a coaches speech to get them to calm down. Location is easy to find. Building is old and has been a few different places over the years but I was told this place had the best Mexican food around. Hmmm... I ordered a lunch special with chicken enchiladas and carne guisada, or at least they claimed it to be so, and the food was just kind of sloppy and piled on the plate. The charro beans were good but everything else was marginal. Mixing chicken enchiladas with the beef stew was weird. In hindsight I would just do a basic Tex-mex meal and not try for anything more. Tacos or basic enchiladas and you are probably ok. There's potential here but it needs work. read more

Loved this family owned restaurant. Service was prompt and friendly. They have numerous choices. Food was fresh and delicious.

Passing through town on a road trip. Decided to try it since it had decent reviews. This place has proper carne asada street tacos. They were excellent! Wish we would have ordered more food. If in the area again, will be sure to try other items. read more

10/10 a gem of the community. Would recommend to anyone.Love this place especially the enchiladas.

I was traveling in the area, and hoping to find some good TexMex. This restaurant was recommended to me by a local man. The service was great. The food was fantastic. It was busy and crowded but we were well taken care of. The menu is vast and the prices were inexpensive. I'd recommend this place and visit again if I had the chance. read more

Foods great, chicken tastes great, queso tastes great, came out pretty quick even though there was a sign saying that they're not very fast to get food out. 10/10 fair prices read more

Passing through town and feel lucky to have discovered this gem for breakfast! Great service, great food! Highly recommend!

Their tacos are top notch obsessed with them. I always am greeted with a friendly smile and respectful workers.

Very reasonable Tex-Mex. Not real fancy. My spouse loves the pickled carrots on the table. Service good. Will be back.

See my pictures this place is off the hook it doesn't look like much but let the food do their talking have eaten here a long time ago and better than I remembered read more

I love the food and the down home atmosphere. My favorite is the beef soup, but I've never had anything I didn't like. Check it out!

Good is authentic but not very flavorful. Building is run down and was extremely warm when we ate here. Lots on the menu to choose from, almost too much! Service is average at best. read more

Good Mexican place. Not tex mex. Place is dated but still worth stopping in and taking a try
