Came in for a quick late Sunday lunch and had a great meal with tons of overordering. Its a very small spot that is essentially a converted house so it feels homey and quaint. As we walked in, we were greeted by who I assume is the owner and she let us know there was a free table next to her. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us chips and salsa shortly after being sat. The chips and salsa were excellent and I, as usual, ate too much. The salsa had a good spice and great flavor and the chips were very crunchy and crispy (like fritos but airier). I ordered a small menudo and chilaquiles with green salsa and both were really good. The menudo had a ton of flavor, good spices, and the stomach pieces were cooked perfectly; super tender and no, sometimes off putting, lingering offal smells. The chilaquiles were also great and the green salsa was mild and refreshing, with excellent side of potatos and beans. I could not finish my food as I thought the small menudo would be like a small cup not a whole bowl. I had also filled up on chips and salsa and our waitress refilled it so I had even more. All in all, this is an excellent little local spot for some bold flavors and fresh food. The menu is quite large and I'm curious to come back and have some other foods (like chicken fried steak). read more

We went here for breakfast! We were delighted to see that the menu has so much to offer and the prices are great. We enjoyed the hot coffee as well. Our cups were never empty. I had the migas while my husband had the brisket omelette!! So good! read more

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. read more

DO NOT COME HERE and this is coming from someone who used to come every weekend,I loved this place but they let themselves go.Customer service is trash!!! They messed up my order, instead of taking accountability the guy tried to charge me for messing up my food? I was told if I wanted my correct order I had to pay after already paying $75? A mistake on HIS part, that's NOT good customer service.He gave me the wrong order,charged me,didn't offer a refund but wanted me to pay if I wanted my correct order? RIDICULOUS I feel bad for the owner of this place your workers are ruining ur reputation! Another thing he was speaking perfect english when he took my order but once I called to complain his english wasn't good all of a sudden he had a spanish accent, very bad experience would give 0 stars if I could there's better places in kyle save your money!!! read more

The breakfast tacos I bought were pretty mediocre. There wasn't that much flavor and they were just ok.

Ordered menudo, taco y enchilada.....menudo was out of this world delicious (tasted like what I used to make eons ago), beef taco was yum, cheese enchilada was rico. Mare was our server and so wonderful in making sure all was perfect (it was). Ambiance was comfortable with delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Always fast and friendly service. They stay busy so don't be surprised if your not greeted the moment you walk through the door. You seat yourself and in a few minutes or less someone will be there to take your order. During my dine-in visits I have always been treated with the best service regardless of how busy they get. Food comes out hot and fast. Food always taste delicious. I love their menudo and breakfast tacos. read more

Bostonian in town for a wedding. El Roble was recommended as a friend as a must-try for breakfast tacos. And it lived up to the hype! I got 2 bacon, egg, bean, and cheese tacos. They were overflowing and much bigger than the other places we tried. Major plus offering glass bottle coca colas. Somehow paired perfectly! Great bang for your buck and super quick friendly drive through service! Would definitely recommend to a friend. read more

Food is great! Staff is great! Building needs serious attention. It would be great if the owner Martha could relocate to a nicer location with a newer and more efficient building. They would do much better and be happier. I highly recommend this place. The beef fajita omelette. Is my favorite. yes you said I don't have an appointment here that's weird it was weird that she had just called me to confirm my appointment and couldn't answer my questions. She said send you over a text so she sent me appointment she didn't that could be anyway I was just glad that I gotcha. No no you're great man appreciate it. read more

Don't miss out on this place. Driving thru and just found on Yelp. Don't let the outside scare you off, stop in for amazing food. We had lunch and from the start it was great. Chips and homemade salsa that lights a fire. Lychee came out fast and was excellent, received beef taco, chicken enchilada and the rice and beans were the show stopper. Green salsa was on point, creamy but not too much. Do yourself a favor and stop in. read more

NASTY NASTY NASTY!!! My menudo had a hair in it. My boyfriend said his enchiladas were dry. How do you make enchiladas DRY!?! Service was okay ish but doesn't make up for the disappointment the food brought to us. I'll be sticking with taqueria el jalapeno or Mi gusto es. This place was nothing but a disappointment. read more

No bad average breakfast tacos... the chips could have been fresher but all in all not bad. We love seeing Kyle grow

Good food! I highly recommend the menudo. Chilaquiles are also popping got to love it. read more

The staff was friendly, attentive and accommodating. The food was not good. I had the carne guisada plate with beans and potatoes. The potatoes were old if at best; they tasted like freezer burn. The meat was an odd color of red rather than a typical guisada gravy color. The tortillas were store bought cheapo, not like the HEB bakery kind. My unsweet tea was good. My boyfriend had 2 eggs over medium and they definitely only cooked over easy. It was very disappointing compared to the good Reviews on Yelp. Sad. read more

I recently went on an excursion for the closest thing to a homemade taco in the Buda/Kyle area. Well I believe that I found it. It's called El Roble. Now mind you it's not your usual type of restaurant from the outside nor the inside for that matter. It's probably an old house that was converted into a taco shack. And it's something to make you do a double take. But regardless of the aesthetics the food is delicious. Especially the build your own tacos. You can pick and choose from the list of delicious ingredients and wonderful hot sauces. Yumm! The only thing that prevented me from giving this place 5 stars was because of it being so cramped up inside the smell of the chemicals that they use for cleaning the tables went up my nose and that was it for me. Sorry El Roble. But next time I will probably do a drive thru instead. read more

The location felt pleasantly rural and the interior was broken up into small, intimate rooms which I certainly appreciate. Unfortunately the breakfast fell a bit short of expectations. Keep in mind that I live pretty close to the Mexican border so we have the real deal all the time. Here I was disappointed that the tortillas and limonada didn't taste homemade. The fillings of the breakfast tacos were good though. The red sauce on my huevos rancheros was chunkier than I like. I would certainly give them another shot. read more

We were in the neighborhood and got a little hungry for some breakfast. Looked up places on our handy Yelp app and seen the rave reviews for this place. They even have a drive thru! It's a regular window but it works and that was a pretty good idea. I ordered the barbacoa taco with guacamole but got avocados instead. The barbacoa meat was really good so it didn't lack flavor and they put a good amount of meat in there, so I didn't mind the mix up. I also got a bacon and egg taco. It was good but I preferred the other taco. My husband ordered Migas plate with extra beef fajita meat. He said it was delicious. He likes the green sauce over the red but said they're both good. They have agua frescas and I got lemonade. It was very good and freshly made. They have lots to offer in a small spot. The service was on point and kind. I will go back to try the caldo and more. read more

Little hidden gem that looks very discrete and non restaurant like when passing by. I am so glad I stopped by on a random search while my husband was admitted to the hospital nearby. Best tacos that we have had in a long while even with our normal old faithfuls back home. You can't beat bacon and egg and the bacon is cut up in pieces for ever bite of yumminess!!! The beans and salsa are just as amazing!!! Don't let the long drive through line discourage you stopping. They are eagerly come out and take orders. In a short stay here , I have not waited longer than 15 min without needing to call ahead! And I have gone many times now. WORTH IT FOR EVERY BITE read more
