Everything is absolutely wonderful, from the staff to the food and prices! Highly recommend!

I couldn't be happier that we found this place. Service was excellent and so was the food! We had our adult dinner here while on vacation with friends and family and we were very pleased. I don't know what to make of the decor but what ever we weren't here for sight seeing. The food is authentic and delightful. Drink prices are very reasonable. I had giant ipa for 11 bucks and 2 coconut margaritas they were amazing and I normally don't drink them. My street tacos were off the hook! Had 2 pork and 2 chorizo and I was impressed. I asked for a side of their homemade hot sauce and it was amazing. I make hot sauces and was impressed by theirs. If you're vacationing at lake Gaston you gotta go here. read more

This place was great. It seemed like there were regulars in for a nice little lunch crowd. I was driving down from NJ when I got some hunger pangs. There's not much on 85 so I did a search on Yelp and Thai place came up. I almost didn't go in because it seems so quiet but the reviews here made me give it a go. I'm really glad I did. I was seated promptly and given a glass of water with the menu right away. Along came chips and salsa as well. After a few minutes of perusing the menu I decided on the shrimp chimichanga. It was sooo yummy. I ate all of it and didn't leave any to take home. So glad I made this stop. read more

You could easily miss this place if you were going to Lake Gaston because it's a 1/4 mile the other way across the street from a gas station. We decided to stop in for Lunch. Nice accomodations, friendly staff & excellent food. We had the Chicken, Steak & Shrimp Fajitas. The aroma in the air gave notice to everyone of the delicious flavor to be expected. It was delicious. There's plenty of other traditional Mexican meals. There's a bar with draft beer, mixed drinks, and wine; as well as soft drinks to please. Our waitress, Tracy, was great as were all the other staff. Thanks Guys! Mustang USMC Retired read more

Let me begin by saying, I understand wholeheartedly that the pandemic is still in full force causing effects, but I'm being real nice with one star. I haven't been back in the area in about 10 years and heard about this spot from a friend. Needless to say, whom I now have a bone to pick with. Upon walking in, my party was taken care of right away. We were handed menus to order our food to go. The menus were filthy, old food and grease smeared, evident they hadn't been wiped down in a minute (no excuse, especially with the pandemic going on). We ordered One (1) Pollo Crema and One (1) Steak Crema with an order of Avocados. (Refer to the picture to see how the side order of Avocado was a bigger portion than the actual Steak entree) Once we arrived to our destination, we noticed how we barely had any portions, the steak and chicken looked inedible. I received the most runny beans I've ever encountered which also tasted spoiled. The chips were completely hard and stale. The upside about the whole ordeal were the alcoholic beverages to-go and the beautiful sunflowers out front. I will definitely not be returning, nor recommend this place to anyone. I got tired of cooking at home, but I see I will continue. read more

Never a disappointment. The burritos are awesome Ingredients are fresh. You definately will not leave hungry. read more

Wow!! Soooo good. Stopped here on our way back from a long road trip since it's right off of 85. The staff was so kind, restaurant was clean and the food was delicious. From start to finish, including sitting down all the way to paying the check was 25 mins. SUPER fast, the food was fresh and hot. To be fair, we ordered food as soon as they took our drink orders but still- very quick. I got the enchiladas banderas but one chicken, one cheese and one beef with a side of refried beans. My boyfriend got chicken faijitas for one. They brought out extra chips and salsa as well! No complaints and will definitely come back :) very reasonable prices. $12 for enchiladas and about $16 for faijitas. read more

The food was very bland! It seems nothing was seasoned. Ambiance was great and service was great.

Couldt have asked for any better! Staff was very friendly and eager to please. Good portions and delicious. Nice cozy atmosphere. You will be pleased when you go to this restaurant! read more

How is this even possible. Pitiful. A sweet tea or a lemonade as well. I don't care how good the service or food is. This is 2 strikes against you. read more

El Huasteco - Enough said. Pitiful. - Beer Bar Near Me - Bracey, Virginia

The food is delicious, and the service is fast and friendly. We come here often. If you haven't tried them and you're visiting Lake Gaston, give El Huasteco a try. read more

We love El Huasteco. We have been a lot since it opened because of its perfect location right off the Interstate, easy to get to and right on our Sunday Route. Their salsa is very good, and they aren't stingy. They offer a more authentic molecate than I have seen other places. I always get a margarita and my favorite one is the Coronarita. Prices aren't bad too bad either. read more

if you're traveling on rt 85, exit 4 near Bracey , VA, make a lunch or dinner stop here. Very good food and service.

Play music a lil louder. It's too quiet. Food and beverages are good. I'll definitely be back.

Great little spot to stop off and get a nice meal. Everyone there was very friendly, and the food was solid!

Great Mexican food with friendly fast service. Prices are reasonable and and portions are generous. The vibe is classic Mexican diner, loud, colorful and cheerful. They make the most amazing salsa to go with their tasty chips. Refilled frequently with no problem! You know it's good when you see the servers wandering around with pitchers of salsa. When they are closed, we are sad. Good variety of beers and seltzers on tap, with full, friendly bar service. The margaritas are ok, but not the best we've had. We go there for the food and friendly service. Try them out! read more

We have visited this restaurant twice during our vacation trips to Lake Gaston. The food and margaritas are excellent and the price is really good for the quality and quantity of the meals. read more

1 star for COVID safety; 5 stars for food. We stopped by last week and were surprised to find that no one inside the restaurant was wearing masks, including the servers and cashier. I hope the management will make this environment safer. As it is now, it is quite likely to be a place where the virus grows. We took our food to a picnic table outside nearby, and the food was excellent. read more

Just like their sister restaurant, Los Cocos in South Hill, the food is excellent. I usually get the Burrito Supreme. This time we had the steak fajitas for two. It's all two people can do to eat it all. If you're traveling and want some excellent Mexican food instead of the usual fast food found near the highway, this is the place to go. Service is fast too so you won't waste a lot of time. read more

This location has been home to atleast 5 restaurants in the last 15 year's, none of which I'd rate more than three stars. This new Mexican good restaurant is great. Good food, fast service and a fair price. Also has a nice vegetarian selections. Hope this place is here for the long haul. read more

Clean, bright and the food was everything you would expect. ... Will definitely come back. read more

This is really tasty fresh and prepared perfect I had the shrimp chimichangas and the shrimp were grilled perfect. The flour tortilla was lite and crispy. Salsa is mild but very fresh. You can get a hotter version also. Tacos were crisp and the beef was seasoned well. Great place. read more

Excellent! Food is very good and service is great. We've eaten there several times and it doesn't disappoint.

Great new place! Excellent Mexican dishes and service is amazing! Definitely the place to stop when traveling interstate 85.

Great food, generous portions. Very friendly staff. Very clean and distanced for COVID. Staff and diners all had masks

This is a nice addition in Bracey. The food is very good. I had a vegetable Burrito and my wife had Tacos. Salsa and chips were solid The menu is giant and vegetarian friendly. The decor is coming along. They did an awesome job on the bar and hopefully will continue working on the rest of things. Two major opportunities on that. One is lighting - a dimmer would make an amazing difference. Second the ceiling is tired- Painting it black would de-emphasize that and both of these upgrades are pretty easy. The people there are wonderful and I hope all goes well for them read more

Confusing menu, descriptions for some items say a side of retried beans. Then you see beans in the description , like their taco salad...one would assume it IS NOT RE-Fried. Not so, then when you ask for black beans, they charge you an additional $2.50. No tomato on their taco salad, not much food for the money in my opinion. read more

The food was extremely good. The staff was very friendly and pleasant. Service was fast. The restaurant was following COVID 19 guidelines. I will return. read more

Fresh and clean. Very friendly staff that gives great service. Mexican style food is excellent. New favorite place for locals as well as a good choice for I-85 travelers read more
