    Barbacoa taco with a spicy pico de gallo

    The food was fantastic! The menudo was flavorful and the meat was tender and not chewy like some other restaurants. It is hard to find good menudo-I lost at Kickapoo but would definitely come back and lose again for a bowl of their menudo I also tried their barbacoa sopas and tacos-recommend the sopas. Good service and small diner vibe.

    The aftermath.

    As you can see, I scraped the plate clean. I'm happy to say these enchiladas cured my hangover. Thank you Gaona.

    Huevos rancheros

    I am a very picky eater. I don't usually eat at Mexican restaurants because i have yet to find one that is authentic but, let me tell you what. This place is like my mamas house! It was delicious! Best menudo i have ever had in a restaurant, and i am not a big menudo eater. I had the huevos rancheros with homemade tortillas. Definitely will be back. Bathrooms were also clean and this is a big deal to me. So, come try this place out. Eagle pass definitely has a hidden gem here.

    This is good authentic food.    Guidado is like Cotulla pit style from back in the day

    This place was recommended for authentic Mexican food. Please keep in mind there are so many…read moreregions in Mexico that one persons authentic food could be way different from another's. I found this place with no issues but parking was another story. I really didn't know where to park so I just parked next to the garage and thought that would work. lol. It did. I walked in and didn't know if I should seat myself so I just stood there and then I was told to sit anywhere. I chose to sit at a booth but after I got settled I realized I should have sat at a table because the table at the booth was too low and it slanted, sloped to the left. As I was looking around I noticed all the booths were like that. I decided to get the buffet. It was quick and I could see the food and decide accordingly. There was a good selection but I didn't see enchiladas. . . well what I think of as a traditional enchilada with cheese and sauce. I choose carnitas, picadillo, potato taquitos, caldo de rez, rice, carne guisado, and not sure if it was a taco or chalupa, and a lemonade. I didn't eat all this lol it was more so a tasting menu. Everything I had tasted good but I was missing that cheesy enchilada. I also had some chips and salsa. . . Red and a green guacamole type. They make homemade tortillas so I asked for two of each. I had so much food that I ended up taking the flour tortillas with me and ate them the next day. Staff were very attentive and the drink was sooo big they never had to come back to fill it. I didn't realize the buffet was $20. . . but if you can eat then it's worth it. I also didn't realize they had a menu to order from. If I'm in the area I'd give it another try.

    If I could give 0 stars, I would. The food was…read morehorrible--bland, lacking variety, and definitely not worth the $14.99 price for a single buffet. No pancakes, nothing kid-friendly, and no refills on drinks. Overall a very disappointing experience. I won't be coming back.

    I ordered the enchiladas rojas con queso panela. And I've been craving to eat them again ever…read moresince. Their beans are heaven in a bowl!!! So homey. Image your grandma's best patch of beans. You remembering how good she makes them? Now forget about them because these are better!!!! They're the perfect amount of spicey, with a flawless flavor that makes you go mmmm. Now, my husband ordered an order of mini tacos. 5 come in an order. He chose the mixto order. Which means he was able to pick five different types of meat to go into each taco (one flavor in each). * Sirloin, bistec, chicken, etc.* He was in love!!! He was in such a good mood after eating these tacos, I took advantage of his mood and ordered my whole wish list from Amazon. The green sauce on the right of his tacos in the pic is sensational as well. If I wasn't a Christian, I would have put that bottle right into my purse. The only grievance I have is that their tea is flavored. But I'm basic so that might not bother most people. But it sure did break my heart that they don't have plain regular sweet tea. And the service needs work. They're not rude what so ever, they just forget you're there sometimes. Ladies if you're in the Eagle pass area and been wanting a new purse.....bring your husband here and you'll have that purse looking captivating on your arm in no time. Ps, they have wifi is you can order it while waiting for the check.

    We try to order from here when we're in town and generally the food is pretty good. We usually…read moreorder the family parrilla and the meat and chicken are good. This time we ordered the green enchiladas and a ribeye steak. The enchiladas were good but the steak was blue! I asked for medium well and this thing was still mooing. We ordered takeout so I had to cook it myself just to make it edible. The plate also came with a half baked potato and it was just that "half baked". Most of it was still raw. Very disappointed.
