    Menudo
    Nick S.

    5/5 for El Roble. You have to give them a try when you're in Kyle/ near Austin. They're kind of easy to overlook along 35 and the frontage road, in a little house. We were welcomed like we were old friends or family when we dined in on a recent weekend. Servings are generous and everything is well seasoned and flavorful. The ranchero chicken plate was great, not dry or overcooked, and I could make my own tacos with corn tortillas, and pile on refried beans, rice, lettuce, tomato, and avocado to top things off. Their chilaquiles plate was superb and paired well with their green sauce (they'll provide a large bottle to pour from), which my partner and I wanted to empty/take home with us (it's that good). Menudo isn't my preference but I gave it a try and it's rich, decadent, and pretty spicy. It seems like a great option on a cold day or as a comfort food. I look forward to returning when we visit family in the area.

    Still delicious! Homemade tortillas. Very reasonably priced. Tacos only $2.29 ea. Friendly service. Dogs allowed on patio! "A" rating posted from the health dept

    Cheese enchiladas and beef enchiladas
    Heather S.

    Such a tiny but mighty restaurant! Feels very comfortable walking in. Everyone is very welcoming. Salsa is yummy ! Enchiladas had a lot of flavor. I'm picky when it comes to enchiladas and these were PERFECT. Temperature of the food was excellent. Lots to choose from ! If you're looking for a good home cooked meal this is definitely the spot.

    barbacoa taco
    Jackie Q.

    Every time I'm back in town, stopping here is a must. Unfortunately while their business hours online seem regular, half of the time I've come by they've been closed. No biggie because they are a small family restaurant, but be warned before you get too invested. However, I've found that you can always rely on them being open on a Saturday afternoon. The first time I came, I remember leaving extremely satisfied with the quality and flavor of their carne guisada. I have since had it in taco form twice more, with the second time being alright and the third time being a little disappointing. The meat was tough, so while I still have a positive opinion of the carne guisada on a good day whether it'll be a good day seems to come down to a roll of the dice. One thing I can't recommend enough is the barbacoa, I've ordered it every time and it is absolutely delicious. Good flavor, moist and tender, I like to eat it in a corn tortilla with chile verde and chile de arbol salsas on top. Something that is out of the ordinary about this spot is the fact that the tacos don't come with lime. I always notice after I've already finished eating, so I'll have to remember to ask next time. Other than that, the tortilla chips that come complementary are next level. There's a certain freshly fried sense to them, with good crunch and solid corn flavor. Apparently some customers like to just order the chips to go, so definitely don't plan on skipping this appetizer!

    Bean and cheese
    Deric L.

    These breakfast tacos are amazing! I tried the bacon agh and cheese and a bean and cheese. All of them were very tasty and covered with lots of yellow American cheese. The line was all the way into the street so you can tell this place must be popular. Luckily they had someone outside taking our orders to help expedite the time.

    Someone made a comment about this being the best tacos in Kyle and I absolutely agree! I would definitely recommend going early because the line is long. I went around 11am and there was about 6 cars in line at the drive thru. They had a lady come outside to help take orders to move the line faster. Everything is fresh and made to order! The chorizo and egg was delicious! Tasted very authentic. The bacon, egg, potato, and cheese was good, but I probably wouldn't get it with cheese. I didn't like the taste of their cheese on it. I am super excited to find a yummy taco place in the area that meets my expectations! They have affordable prices and work very hard! Customer service was great! Tacos were excellent!

    Carne giada breakfast plate
    Ron H.

    My son introduced me to this gem in Kyle. The unassuming exterior gives you no clues as to how great it is, from the super friendly staff to the delicious homemade food. I have visited twice and both time the carne guiana was perfection. Servings are plentiful, many folks will probably take it home with them to enjoy later. Highly recommend if you are in Kyle and live supporting local small businesses!

    Great hot coffee
    Diane K.

    This little family owned restaurant is "tired" look8 g, but the food is delicious. Don't expect ambiance or anything fancy. Nevertheless, we received courteous and friendly service, plus food that was hot and was fresh. The tortillas are made fresh in house. The tacos, yummy. There was a long line of cars waiting in the to-go line, that speaks volumes. Good coffee too. Just be patient, their sign reads. We were patient and rewarded with good food. Yes, dogs are ok outside on the two picnic benches.

    Chilaquiles
    Justina L.

    Hole in the wall mom and pop shop off the highway. Basic Mexican dishes with great flavor. Plates are large as well as the tacos packed with meat. Migas were very tasty. Eggs cooked perfectly. Chorizo Chilaquiles were delicious. The greens salsa was subtle with a good amount of spice. The potatoes and beans came with the breakfast plates and were good. The Al pastor taco had a Smokey flavor to it. Our waitress was attentive and the food was out quickly.

    Came here for lunch around 3pm on a Saturday and were surprised this place was empty…read more We were greeted and seated right away. Server asked if we knew what we wanted but since it was our first time we asked for the menu & ordered 3 drinks: Mexican bottled coke, jarritos (pineapple) and Sangria (soda non alcoholic) We ordered 18 mini tacos and 2 cheese quesadillas. Total was: $57 (cash ONLY) - Al pastor: 5/5 for taste, flavor, presentation and amount of meat to taco ratio. Only thing sadly missing was fresh pineapple for topping. - Suadero (fajita): 2/5 it was nicely packed but sadly missed the mark on flavor and it was very dry. - Cabeza: 2/5 the cut of meat was good but missing flavor. - Chorizo: 3/5 the flavor was good but not great. - Cheese quesadillas: 4/5 the cheese was quality cheese but didn't actually melt at all. Once the food came out (10min) we were given 2 types of salsas: green guacamole and red with chile de arbol. I was only able to add a few drops of the red salsa so beware. Overall we really enjoyed the food, service and mainly the al pastor tacos. We'd come here again if we're ever in Kyle.

El personal es amable y muy acogedor. Sin embargo, la única razón por la que obtiene 1 estrella es porque pedimos nuestra comida que salió muy rápido, lo cual no es una queja, pero la comida y la salsa tenían poco o ningún sabor, la porción de limon que recibimos era muy pequeña, las porciones tenían poco o nada de jugo cuando se exprimían. Lo más probable es que no regrese, lo único bueno fue la Coca mexicana

It immediately made us uncomfortable and definitely affected the whole experience. We almost left, but since we were already there and didn't want to go somewhere else, we decided to stay and give it a chance. Unfortunately, after seeing that, it was hard to enjoy the food and the overall experience just wasn't good. Another thing that stood out is how dark and dim the restaurant is inside. It makes it hard to see much around you, which honestly made us wonder about the cleanliness after what we saw.

I'm not exaggerating at all when I say they hit every single craving perfectly. From the very first bite, I knew these tacos were on a completely different level compared to anything I've tried before. The flavor, the freshness, the way everything came together--it was honestly incredible. I've had tacos from a lot of different places, but nothing has come close to tasting this good. I genuinely don't know what they put in these tacos to make them taste so amazing, but whatever they're doing, they've absolutely perfected it. The first time I tried them felt almost surreal. It reminded me of that iconic scene in the movie *Ratatouille* where the food critic takes a bite and instantly gets transported back to his childhood, remembering his mom's homemade cooking. That's honestly the closest way I can describe the feeling--it was like pure comfort and nostalgia all in one bite. On top of the incredible food, the **prices are amazing**. It's honestly surprising that food this good can still be so affordable. You're getting top-tier flavor and quality without paying crazy prices, which makes the experience even better. It's rare to find a place where the food is this delicious and the prices are still so reasonable. Overall, Briana's Taqueria completely exceeded my expectations. Between the flavor, the quality, and the value, it's easily one of the best food experiences I've had in a long time. If you're even thinking about trying it, I would **highly recommend it**--you definitely won't regret it.
