    Super Chihuahua
    Shaun C.

    We've been here quite a few times now, and the food is always great. The service is usually pretty good, but every once in a while you won't see someone for a while. My "go to" meal is the Texas ACP, and they make it well here. I tried the Super Chihuahua this time, and it was a lot of food, but also very good. Also, it's been a different experience several times we've gone, and not in a bad way. We've gone in and it's been a very quiet night, and other times a bit more lively, but overall very pleasant.

    We stopped here for lunch and no issues! It was good Mexican food! We both got the Mexican Burrito and it was good!

    This place is a gem! We were passing through and stopped for a quick supper. We loved the low carb options. Delish!

    Good food, great service. Not quite a 5 star. I would give 4.5 if possible. Too small for local demand.

    Do not go here on Wednesday. $1 taco night. Place is jammed. No one working the register. And they gave us the wrong food. Will not go back.

    FYI I think they add a 25 cent charge per tray for take out, no big deal.

    As a native Texan, (at least feeling somewhat qualified) I have to say that they have some top…read morenotch stuff, super impressed :) it's a pretty cozy space to grab a quick bite or even a sit-down meal. They have a pretty wide variety of options, but you definitely can't go wrong with their tacos! Super affordable and will leave you feeling satisfied and full. Everyone is really friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. Definitely recommend! Especially their asada, chorizo, and lengua tacos! Will be back to try other things on the menu too. Bonus: they have their own parking lot which is nice!

    Overall good experience again! Tried some new things:…read more - Torta Cubana: Hefty sandwich with like 3 different meats (including sausage & chorizo), fried egg, avocado, onions, lettuce, tomato. A little salty, but balances out with the spicy salsa they provide. - Camarones Ala Mexicana Platter: Good if you want a lighter, healthier feeling option. - Quessabirrias: Honestly, felt a little too greasy for me & the consommé wasn't super deep in flavor. It was okay. - Pupusa con Pollo: I think the pupusas will be my favorite item to get here! - Horchata: Love their horchata; super cinnamon-y and refreshing. Fast service during weekday dinnertime; fine ambiance. 9/10 would recommend!
