The staff is both informative and helpful, making the experience even better. The chips and salsa were fantastic, with a variety of salsas to choose from. Also, had Coke bottled in Mexico. (My Favorite) I ordered the Pozole (a dish I traditionally eat once a year for New Year's), and it was absolutely delicious. It came with all the classic accompaniments: radish, onions, lime, oregano, cabbage, and avocado. The flavors were rich, and the portion was generous--a true treat! My wife had the Huevos Americanos and loved every bite. Most of the patrons were Hispanic (including my wife and daughter), which is always a good sign of authenticity. If you're looking for great, authentic Mexican food in Corsicana, Texas; this place is a must-visit!

I was on a road trip and decided to stop to eat, I ordered 4 tacos (Carnitas, Carne Asada, Chorizo and Al Pastor), rice and chips & salsa. My entire order was phenomenal. The prices are more affordable than a fast food meal, and the flavors are unmatched if you like Mexican Food. The restaurant portion is currently closed due to lack staff since the pandemic, so the orders are takeout only, but the order does not take very long and the food is well worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Bathroom is also nicer than expected - and quite clean. Nice tile!

We also got 1 churro each the taste was amazing, we got them plain with no filling, the only thing negative is the price, $4 per churro for the size we were thinking $2-$3 each. Overall everything is very tasty we got all of the salsas they were all good, the red one is super spicy lol, one thing definitely need to put more cilantro in the onion/cilantro mix, you got about 90% onions and 10% cilantro. You also got chiles toreados(sautéed Jalapeños) and grilled onions(delicious)! Service was excellent, the drive thru was wrapped around the building and a huge line inside, they manage to keep a smile on their faces, super courteous with everyone, recommended items on their menu, very knowledgeable of their job. For being that busy the lobby was clean and bathrooms were also really clean. The ambience was very pleasant, all customers were happy, eager to try out this new spot, definitely did not disappoint. I can honestly say this is the best authentic restaurant in Corsicana, (besides like food trucks) it is not Tex Mex, it is actually Mexican Food. I would highly recommend to anyone willing to try some amazing flavors and customer service. Keep up the good work!

:( Lol this restaurant is fake..... The name was stolen from a family in central texas that own and operate several succesful restaurants (Mexicano Grille) in temple, Waco, mexia, cleburne, Jarrell, stafford etc.... Even the menu was stolen from them. Just moved in to Corsicana and noticed all this. Couldn't believe it. Why can't people be unique????? I been a big fan of Mexicano Grille in Temple since I moved in to texas and this is not right :( read more
