The menu is tacos for breakfast style but you can get normal breakfast too. The inside is run down but the service was great and friendly and the food was hot and tasty. read more

We were starving from a long day on the road and so glad we stopped at Elvira's. Turns out, it's a little authentic Mexican cafe. Salsa's fantastic (served warm), the food's fresh and delicious, sauces were excellent. They served our orders quickly and we were on our way. I will be back one day. read more

The tacos are huuuuuge!!! They are pretty tasty and well worth the price. Service was great, there was only one server and she was doing everything but it was worth the wait. The locale is normal and it's family friendly. read more

See all

At first sight it's not very inviting and honestly the decor is not much better, but for a small town joint it's pretty good. In fact I thought the breakfast overall and service was great. It's not for everybody but it was exactly what I needed. Give it a try I bet it good for lunch or dinner as well. read more

Elvira's Cafe - Breakfast omelette, with their incredible red sauce. Other sauce had a heavy kick - Cafes Near Me - Giddings, Texas

My family and I had breakfast here. My wife had the American breakfast with Bacon, my son had the two pancakes, two eggs and two sausage patties and I had a sausage and cheese omelette. All dishes were delicious and service was excellent. Highly recommended if you are driving by. read more

Cheap, great food, open at 6am. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the lady was cheery when we walked in at 6:05. Coffee is good black and you can probably order anything on the menu without having to worry about going hungry. Tacos are ridiculously large and the filling was excellent. Lots of cheese, plenty of meat, and home made tortillas. The potatoes had a great texture to them and seem like they were from fresh and not frozen potatoes. The have a green and mild sauce that went pretty well and had decent flavor and kick. Now I want to go back for the biscuits and gravy or chicken fried steak. If you're in town and need some fuel for the AM, this is the place. read more

Elvira's Cafe - They are everything you hoped and dreamed they would be, including ridiculously large. - Cafes Near Me - Giddings, Texas

We adored stopping in for brunch on our way to Houston. The place was empty and the people looked exhausted. I asked if they had just had a rush and the lady said, oh yes, "the crowd juuust left." They brought our our food fast and it was all very fresh and tasty. I had fajitas and veggies to keep Keto. Our kids had various tacos and pancakes with bacon and eggs and my husband had migas with beef fajitas. I don't know when will be able to go back because of their hours but I'm hoping soon! read more

Love their breakfast! Great customer service! Definitely recommend! It's an older building, but still enjoyable.

Maybe it was an off day or we came in near closing, but I wasn't impressed. My chicken fried steak seemed like it was fried a couple of days ago. It tasted burned but yet it wasn't. I had to skip it altogether. We will probably skip Elviras next time as well. Nice people, very friendly. No complaints there. It wasn't for me. read more

Declicious food and amazing customer service! Best breakfast tacos I've had in awhile and the tortillas were freshly made! *chefs kiss*

The breakfast this morning was very good. The eggs and bacon were very good. My wife a giant omelet with eggs,bacon,potatoes, and beans which was excellent. The lady that runs the restaurant is really nice and very efficient. The restaurant is clean but the parking lot is rough. read more

We ended up at Elvira's after striking out with other places along 290. Glad we found it! While the place is not much to look at, the food was great. read more

Had a appointment in Giddings earlier in the morning, I heard that they have good tacos. I ordered the combo, bacon, potatoes, beans, cheese and eggs, my spouse got a napalos (misspell) taco. They were BIG! Good thing we didn't order 2. They were very delicious and filling, only thing was my tortilla was a little hard. The waitress was excellent. Definitely will be going back. read more

Great restaurant, food is authentic and always tastes great. Saturdays are always very busy, definitely worth the wait. I can't pick one favorite because it is all good. Breakfast tacos sound pricey at $3.50, but it's because they are huge, one is enough for me and I'm not little. It's only open for breakfast and lunch, so get here early. read more

The food was delicious, it had good reviews so I decided to try it. The tortillas are huge. They aren't cheap with the bacon. Cost was good for breakfast menu. The parking was red dirt only a small area of concrete. read more

Great home cooked food. Service is fast. Staff super nice and professional. And extremely affordable. We stopped on our way to our destination. Easy access with plenty of parking right off of Hwy. 77. We ordered breakfast for lunch. Loved that the food was not greasy and it actually tasted like home made. Will definitely make it our stop for food when coming this way. read more

Stopped at this place on way back home, thought it had to be good because lots of cars in parking lot. If the locals eat here it has to be good, wrong. Ordered chicken fried steak breakfast, the breading was raw. Eggs and hashbrowns were good. My husband ordered side sausage and pankcakes, both were burnt. Best coffee I have had in a long time, so if you just get that you are good to go. Service was slow and disorganized, at one point waitress sat at customers table flirting while we were waiting on bill. read more

I found this place by looking at Yelp. We had Southwest Omelettes and the were so delicious and coffee was also very good. Next time we are driving through that area, we will definitely stop there to eat. read more

Looking for a local breakfast spot with good reviews. We gave this place a shot and it was a little disappointing... Ordered the Southwest Omelet and the veggies weren't sautéed. It was still decent but it's just not an omelet without that extra step. The jelly had mold and no butter so had to settle for dry toast. As far as the atmosphere, a little artwork can make the biggest difference. On the bright side, the waitresses were friendly and prices are good. And we were able to satisfy our hunger! read more

Food was really good, fresh cooked breakfast that was plenty filling. Looking forward to trying them for lunch or dinner at some point. I would think its 's a Dive, looks a little old outside, and very plain inside, but it is very spacious and comfortable... who cares about the looks if you can get yummy food, give it a chance if you're doubtful! read more

If you happen to be driving the hill country East of Austin and are hunting for a basic diner with great food, stop at Elvira's in Giddings. Their breakfast migas might just be the best I ever had. Loved their beef and pork tacos, too. Great dishes with tasty Mexican flavors. read more

Took my better half out for brunch. She had the daily lunch special which consisted of a taco, enchilada, a chimichanga, tostada, rice and beans with a chunk of pineapple/coconut cake. I choose the 3-egg meat lovers (bacon,ham & sausage) omelette with grilled onions, jalapenos, bell pepper and tomatoes hash browns and wheat toast. Both meals wit coffee's were only $18! Let me tell you that was the best damn omelette I have ever eaten in my life! Overstuffed with goodies and topped with cheddar cheese, the combination of all the flavors was just incredible! She was in hog heaven also, finishing her entire meal (which rarely EVER happens) The hours of operation are only 6 AM to 2 PM but you can order anything from the menu during this time. Anyone up for tacos at 6 AM? read more

The place was awful!! We waited over an hour for our food. The food was mediocre. The bathroom was disgusting--toiled didn't flush, faucet on sink was broken and couldn't turn on the water to wash your hands. Service was poor. Giving this place one star was a gift. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! This place is great. The tacos are burrito size. One was plenty for me and I'm 200 lbs.

Great breakfast!! I had the Migas with beans and potatoes. Came with homemade tortillas! Everything was hot and fresh! Can't wait to try lunch!! read more

Stopped in on our way home to Houston and we're welcomed like a local. Excellent breakfast. Courteous staff. Homemade tortillas!! read more

Very dirty and not well maintained. My husbands chicken fried steak was thin and burned and so was my sausage. The lady (guessing the manager) was yelling at her workers across the restaurant. And just when I didn't think it couldn't get any worse, she started cleaning near our table... I was overwhelmed with the smell of bleach and the sound of her slamming chairs. Just very rude. Won't be back. read more

my favorite place to go for authentic Mexican food with friendly service and wonderful

The food is superb when the cook can be found. The coffee either doesn't have refills or else they just ignored us and all of the dirty tables around the the place. The manager told me an hour and a half after we got there that she had sent to cook home and the food should be out soon. Would've been nice to know earlier. read more

Driving from Austin to Houston looking for a breakfast spot. Found this on YELP. We were not disappointed. Great breakfast. Homemade tortillas. Service was spot on. Would highly recommend. Outside is non descipt but food is fantastic. read more

So glad we stopped! Fantastic food for a great price. The combo taco was delicious and ginormous and I ordered a side of ranchera sauce the was perfect. The hash browns were perfectly crispy. Everyone was delighted with our brunch. read more

We drove to this restaurant while passing through Giddings Saturday morning and found that IT IS OPEN AND BUSY! I'm not sure why someone posted it is closed but it is open and has a very good following. We had a very nice well prepared breakfast. It appears to be a simple family ran restaurant that is a hit with locals. I had a two meat/veggie omelet and my husband had a combo of some sort. Easy parking, quick service, good food, good prices! We will stop in again when passing thru. read more

I guess you either eat breakfast or Mexican here because their lunch was terrible. Had chicken fried steak, tasted like it was cooked yesterday in week old grease. Was chewy and not fresh at all, I did not finish was so bad. Friend had their lunch special pork chops wasn't any better. Dead flies on window sill, got one glass of water and no refills. Will not return. read more

Excellent Mexican Food as well as good ole' Southern Food. The place looks like nothing special, but when you taste the food you'll know it's all about the food for them. Prices were excellent too. They are only open for Breakfast and Lunch, so if you're in Giddings and want a good place to eat, STOP!!!! read more
