The beef burrito was delicious! I definitely ordered a chicken burrito though, so I can't give a 5. The wait was a bit long but the food was worth it and plentiful. No one wore masks but that seems to be the case for the whole city. Friendly staff. read more

I've stopped here a few times when traveling through Dalhart after being initially attracted to returning by the quality of the chips and homemade salsa that arrives soon after being seated. La Española is a true local's favorite. You can tell that the friendly servers know most of the patrons and that the patrons mostly know one another. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but you'll feel the energy once you step inside. The Mexican plates are heaping with food, but that food is sort of mediocre. The portions and the prices are the draw. Another reviewer complained about the cheese. I concur. On my last visit I got cheese enchiladas and the cheese reminded me of canned nacho cheese or cheese from the industrial mac and cheese sold by a food service company. All of the Mexican plates can be upgraded with a big scoop of green chile for extra kick. Dessert is a sopaipilla or two which come hot from the fryer. I recommend those. On my next visit, I'm going to try the burgers. I saw some on plates coming out of the kitchen and they looked formidable. read more

Food, service & ambiance get an F! The cheese tasted like the cheese from Mac & Cheese. Same for the rice. We left most of our food. The desert was what filled me up. Don't stop here! read more

Friendly service. Very busy. Atmosphere was like a Mexican diner style. Love the small family feel. But chips were a bit greasy salawas great! My husband had the lonely burrito with cheese sauce which was Hugh and good. I had the lite enchilada dinner. Loved it all. It's a must try if you in dalhart tx. read more

We stopped for soapapillas, and were delighted! Best I've ever had, served piping hot, and perfectly cooked. Server was also excellent, and friendly, I would go out of my way to have a full meal here, nice atmosphere. I'm a tourist, but I strongly suspect locals eat here. read more

This place has a little hidden secret......THE HAMBURGERS....yes, add cheese but the burgers are simply AMAZING. My husband isn't a Mexican food fan and we were both pleasantly surprised. I was actually a little jealous as I ate my burrito with green chili. Can't wait to travel back through this town. read more

We decided to stop here on our way to Colorado. Our waitress was the absolute sweetest thing ever! Excellent service and amazing food. Best Mexican food we have ever had! We would highly recommend. read more

I'm happy to add a recent review for the Dalhart locals and travelers, like myself, just passing through. I really enjoyed the complimentary starter of chips and salsa. Both tasted very fresh and homemade. I highly recommend the enchilada plate. I ordered the noon special of 1/2 order enchiladas. It comes with two enchiladas (I ordered one beef and one cheese enchilada) along with a side of rice and a side of beans. read more

Wow, so glad this place was open on Sunday! Seems that the only other options were either closed or fast food. Very friendly waitstaff. Clean. Hubby and I split a combo that included two beef enchiladas, a crispy taco, salad, rice, beans and two sopapillas. $10. Also had the small queso, tea and water. Total was $19.96. Everything was very tasty. Chips and salsa came out hot. Will stop again, when we are driving thru. read more

Friendly local spot with yummy salsa and chips to start meal! I ordered the taco salad which was delicious with a light flaky crispy shell. I was a little underwhelmed by the ingredients layered with iceberg lettuce, breaded chicken strips, and yellow cheese. Came with a packet of sour cream but instead I drizzled the remainder of my salsa on top. I think that this restaurant is a good alternative to fast food and overall it was a good choice. read more

Rollie cart food and drink delivery system 4. Beers on ice(in Rusty bucket) 5. Biggest bag of onions I've ever seen 6. Tape to hold the ceiling together 7. Supppppper friendly staff 8. Combo 15 was nomnomnomnomtastic 9. Fine aged salsas 10. Imagine a northern Texas home with some walls knocked down and some dinner tables put in 11. Food was fresh and the chef even came and checked on us 12. Authentic presentation for sure All and all, if you are in the middle of nowhere Texas, check this place out! I'll return if I ever road trip through here again in the future read more

Nasty canned ingredients go into this food, the salsa is good though and the portions are decent. We came in on a busy Sunday after church and there was only one waitress with every table filled. I don't think I'll be back. read more

La Espanola II Restaurant - The chili Rellano was canned chilies and velveta cheese wrapped in what seemed like a loaf of undercooked bread. - Mexican Near Me - Dalhart, Texas

Unfortunately the very slow service and inattention made the just ok food, an experience not worth repeating.

Love this place. Great service! Amazing food!! Even the French fries are good LOL!!! Definitely recommend this place. Feeling satisfied for my drive back to Denver. read more

We were passing through town and decided to stop in at this restaurant. The food was horrendous. Quesadillas with American cheese straight out of the microwave. The tacos wrapped in uncooked tortillas. If you are passing through, do yourself and your stomach a favor and keep on going. read more

Had a great lunch ..very reasonable price at an authentic Tex-Mex restaurant. The service was prompt and friendly, plenty of chips and salsa flowing. I got the half combination platter that was a cheese enchilAda, soft taco, rice and beans, a sopapillas and a very large iced tea ..all for $6.75. The beans were homemade also. A definite must stop again on our way from Kansas to California. read more

First time eating at this restaurant. Friendly staff, great food, and good prices. Great Tex-Mex food!

Much above other Mexican food in Texas. Options for green chili and sopapillas were wonderful. I had a combination plate and smothered in green chili. The sauces were really good. The service was fairly quick, which was good as we were traveling. Would go there anytime I travel this way. read more
