We came on July 3rd at roughly 11am and it was BUSY but we were sat as a table of 2 within 10 minutes. I ordered the sirloin and eggs and my wife ordered the Andy's platter or something like that. We devoured our meals, they were so yummm and the waitresses were so kind and attentive! I can't wait to take my mother in law here when she's in town next week. Thank you for the lovely experience and delicious food!! It's our new best breakfast spot!!

Nice breakfast spot on the Southside of Corpus Christi. It was pretty busy on the Saturday morning…read moreI came and had to wait in line for about 25 minutes. This is a order at the counter spot, you take a number, and pick out a table. They will bring out your food and drinks. The menu is pretty big with lots of great breakfast, brunch, and some lunch options. I had the birria chilequiles which were tasty and a good portion size. Not enough sauce or salsa but good flavor. The side of skillet type potatoes that came with it were very good! My husband had the chicken fried steak which was excellent! It was a decent size and had this amazing light, crispy crust! Yum! Overall, this is a nice breakfast spot and I would definitely come back. The stuffed french toasts are calling my name :)

With a 4.4 rating I would think our visit would be great. However there were just too many things…read morethat screamed not good. I admit I had heard they're breakfast and lunch are great. We thought we would visit for dinner at about 6 pm . Place was totally empty when we arrived; a very wait person say us and very nicely waited on us throughout. I had the two bratwurst with red cabbage and German potatoe salad . Now usually to me , bratwurst should be full juicy sausages of a considerable size . What I got was a little better than two hot dogs that were cut in two length wise. The potato salad was somewhat greasy and not too remarkable at all. The red cabbage was only passable. The whole thing seemed like it was warmed up from lunch , in that it came out surprisingly quickly and was tepid rather than hot. Microwaved maybe even. My partner had pork schnitzel, spaetzal and sauerkraut. The snitzel seemed ok though tepid . The serving size though was somewhat smaller than what their online pic showed but my wife said that she didn't need anything bigger . My wife said the spaetzal was good though I tasted it and thought it seemed warmed up. The oddest thing is that the sauerkraut was mixed up with mashed potatoes. The texture was weird and it was missing the tanginess of sauerkraut and , again, tasted warmed up. Is this a way to "stretch" sauerkraut of all things? The problem is they just started dinner service I guess in the last two weeks according to our server . On top of all this it was exorbitantly priced . Whereas I might visit during breakfast, I may not fit dinner for a while to where they can build a better experience. The waitress was very nice and accommodating.

Two foodies from Houston,…read more We were in Corpus Christi and of course we were hungry. Restaurant is in an older building. However, everyone was welcoming and friendly. We ordered Chicken Flautas (chicken rolled up in a corn tortilla that is then fried) and Carne Guisada (stewed beef) which came with fresh flour tortillas (with a browning ingredient- no raw looking tortillas) with two Mexican cokes. While it was not to our liking, everyone had different taste buds. Also, the restaurant did have a good share of customers. Sorry, I didn't take pictures.

Came on a Sunday with my toddler, and it was very busy so I expected a bit of a wait on things. I have been here before for Sunday brunch with a large group and had a good experience, but today was not great. Got seated after only about 15 mins - totally reasonable. After that, multiple things went wrong. 1- I was initially given a high chair with a broken buckle, so I didn't fasten the straps and my toddler slipped down through the opening. She was ok, thankfully, and we got another one with working buckle. 2 - lots of flies. I felt like I was fighting them for my food. At one point I counted 5 at a time. 3 - I wasn't given utensils when I was seated or at the same time as my food. My food was served, then I had to wait for the waitress, then wait for the utensils. 5 mins of calming the hungry screaming toddler and watching our food cool down was not very cool. Same thing happened to the table next to me. 4 - they ran out of cups, and my coffee was served in a styrofoam cup with a plastic spoon. It tasted like plastic and I didn't enjoy it. When I saw that I was charged $4 for it, I asked the waitress to strike it from my bill, which she did. Individually these things were not a big deal, but overall it was just not great. I believe the waitress was just overwhelmed and doing her best.

I got beef fajitas for one to see if they're chewy or not and was pleasantly surprised at the texture and flavor of the beef. The pico provided wasn't overly hot and added to the fajita burrito once put on the tortillas. And (pet peeve) the fluffy spanish rice was NOT in the shape of an inverted bowl. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. My wife got the Flaco's Combo with carne guisada and beef enchiladas. She says the beef in the enchiladas had a seasoning she's not familiar with and left her wishing she'd ordered breakfast instead. Except for a couple of pieces that were very gristly, the carne guisada was pretty good. Overall, she wasn't as happy as I was. She says next time it's breakfast for her.

I stopped in for brunch on a Saturday morning and was really surprised by the crowds, and the atmosphere of the restaurant.

I initially went for the croissants based on the recommendation, but ordered the Biscuits with Gravy in addition to a loaf of sourdough, a croissant, and a few back to school theme cookies to bring onto the kids! The biscuits and gravy was phenomenal, and I really liked how they added scrambled eggs to top them. This is something I've never seen before and the result was great! As far as the bakery items (croissant, sourdough, and cookies) I feel like my review won't do them justice because they weren't eaten until I got home a few days later.
