The food here was amazing and authentic. Will definitely add this restaurant to every Galveston visit. Service was great and everyone was friendly. The decor was cool with Frida Kahlo and some cool Pancho Villa images. We had the appetizer chicken quesadillas which could have fed 2 people. The migas were delicious and so were the potatoes and beans. The burritos are huge and we tried the potato and eggs. read more

Small mom and pop restaurant. Food was very authentic in taste. Portions were good. Prices are very reasonable. However, the seating area is a bit small. Plenty of parking in the back. The server was very attentive. read more

Authentic hole in the wall! Handmade tortillas!!!! Home like feeling. Lots of regulars there. People friendly

This is a divey but delicious Mexican restaurant that I grew up going to in Galveston. I have not been here in many years, and I heard that the food was still good. I decided to try it out. The service is friendly, but don't come in a hurry because only 2 people are serving the whole restaurant. This is t the kind of place you should be in a rush at anyways. The breakfast plates and burritos are fantastic, so take your time and enjoy. On this visit I had the barbacoa plate. I am always cautious ordering barbacoa because the meat can be too fatty and unenjoyable. Their barbacoa was perfect. Tender, juicy, and meaty. It's an old building, so don't expect it to be trendy or fancy. Come here for the food. read more

Great hole in the wall breakfast. Why do I need to say more just to get to 85 characters

The food here is amazing. Their breakfast is home made and served by Latin abuelitas. The service is, you walk in, grab your menus and sit wherever you want. One of the ladies will attend to you quickly. If you order coffee, it's a bottom less cup. The ambiance is a literal hole in the wall place. The decore is like if you walked into a family restaurant in Mexico. Pictures of saints, Mexican hero villains, eclectic looking. It's truly a Galvestons locals well kept secret. All of the waitresses as so sweet and make you feel at home. read more

They were open for Mardi Gras just selling a small menu for the awaiting parade goers. I had seen someone with a Turkey leg and asked the patron where she got it from, she pointed down the street. I walked 2 blocks and finally found this at the street corner of Ball and Rosenberg St/25th St. They had huge Turkey Legs and we had to have one! Thank you, I'm sure this menu was only for Mardi Gras, but we'll be back for some Mexican food on another trip! Thank you for the Hospitality! read more

Cute little mom and pop shop! The Tortillas were homemade and so delicious! The servers and staff were great.

Food and service is always outstanding. Salsa is fresh, tortillas are good and the surprise burrito is always on point!

The Barbacoa is proper. Waitstaff is attentive. The flour tortillas are authentic and worth the visit, alone. Oh, and the prices... read more

They are so friendly and the food is affordable and is so delicious. My family loved everything they ordered there . I highly recommend this restaurant . read more

I have been coming here for 26 years and La Estacion has never let me down. It is not fancy, new, or updated, but what it lacks in visuals it makes up for in their food and their prices. My wife and I love this place so much we even had a huge breakfast there the day after our wedding. If you are a tourist, this probably isn't the place for you. The service is relaxed, it's filled with locals, and there's no where to store your suitcases while you eat. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! read more

La Estacion has been a staple on the island for decades. The surprise burrito has a bad rep on Yelp for some reason, but it shouldn't. It's delicious and HUGE! The tortillas are soft and fresh. My burrito is always packed with food - enough food for two! My only negative is the salsa - it's super watery and I like it a little thicker, not just liquid. read more

Classic homemade authentic Mexican breakfast burrito no frills but very delicious homemade tortillas

Que lastima I did not discover this place sooner! No frills but the best huevos rancheros I've had on the island. The huge homemade flour tortillas alone are worth the visit. The retried beans were delicious and the pappas were like crispy fries as were the two strips of bacon. Eggs were over medium to perfection as ordered. And I scraped my plate clean!! For $8!!! The salsa was homemade too. I can't wait to work my way through the menu. read more

The burritos/tacos are amazing. Price is great and quality was awesome. Ordered to go so other than the register not much to review on service. However the staff as I entered were very polite. Recommend the suprise taco. read more

Best Surprise burrito on the island. No question, just straight facts. People are always sweet and the food is cheap and comes out fast.

Just before embarking on a cruise we decided we needed some last minute Tex-Mex fare...OK it was the closest place to the boat but what a happy discovery this was!!! Small place? Check. Hole in the wall? Check? Bunch of Hispanic ladies running around taking orders? Check. Lofty smells of the Tex-Mex fare wafting through the air? Check. Re-DICULOUS portions for under $8? Ohhhhhhh boy. Recipe for gastrointestinal happiness here... I am not kidding. The chorizo egg and cheese breakfast burrito is the size of Arnold's forearms...stuffed to the max and TASTY!!! I couldn't finish mine despite my vast hunger...but...cannot...stop...picking...at...dat...tortilla!!!! What a happy accident we found this place!!! Great place to eat. read more

Not bad for a mega hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint, close to the Cruise Port! For those who are starving before getting on the ship, they will be open. The service is good and quick and the food is pretty decent. You get a lot of food for a low price too! But, beware, it's a dump inside!

There are a lot of surprise burritos available across the island so it's tough to compete but this place makes it to the top. They use homemade tortillas, beans are cooked with bacon grease and they've got a good salsa casera. Very friendly service and they remember regular customers' orders. read more

Just had the best authentic Mexican breakfast! 10/10 recommend Absolutely delicious. I don't give reviews often but this place deserves the 5 stars. Everyone is so kind. And let me tell you about their home made tortillas..... they deserve their own Instagram they are delicious. read more

Great breakfast at a decent price" My wife and I have dined here a number times (for breakfast) and always enjoyed La Estacion. The prices are reasonable and they consistently serve excellent breakfast tacos. The tacos are big and they are delicious. The pancakes are quite good too. The tortillas are home-made too. If you are in the mood for good breakfast tacos or juevos ranchos, try La Estacion. It is THE place for a good, down-home, authentic mexican breakfast in Galveston. Visited May 2011 read more

Throughout the year, I've been trying out different burrito places around Galveston and this one is my favorite (along with Broncos)! I ordered the Migas burrito. Like the other burritos I've had, this one was just as big (maybe even tad bigger). While almost every place I've been to used freshly made tortillas, this one somehow tastes even better (think buttery, soft with a little crisp to it). Inside were eggs, migas (fried tortilla chips), jalapeños, tomatoes, and onions. All tasted delicious with the tortilla, especially the chips. The downsides: The service was a little slow, but very friendly. Also, I think the tortilla chips/salsa they serve at the beginning are better at some of the other places. Not a big deal Still, the value (only $3.25 for such a huge brunch!!!), friendliness, and of course deliciousness are what makes this place worth it for any of your breakfast burrito cravings. read more

La Estacion - Migas Burrito, so huge! - Mexican Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I tried La Estacion for breakfast based on the Yelp recommendations and was blown away. I ordered a surprise burrito (bacon/egg/cheese/bean/fries) and a chorizo/egg/cheese burrito. Both were excellent but the surprise burrito was the clear winner. Let me just say that these things are huge. The tortillas were the best I've tasted, the filling was delicious, and the salsa was some of the best I've had. Oh and their use of french fries for potatoes is brilliant. Unfortunately, since I got my order to-go, I didn't really get a chance to take in the atmosphere. But trust me, if you're in Galveston, you NEED to try La Estacion. read more

Worst food I have had in Galveston as a 5 year resident. Chips were stale (chewy) (even after asking a second time for fresher chips), salsa wasn't much more than crushed tomatoes and had no flavor. Lunch menu tacos and chicken mole dish were almost both inedible. Flour tortillas were good, but not worth the flop on the rest of the food. Perhaps breakfast is better, but very disappointed with my experience. read more

My go to!!! Love the food and the authentic atmosphere! Great for breakfast, the Surprise Burrito is the one for a quick and easy meal that will keep your tummy full. read more

My absolute favorite breakfast burritos on the island! Always fast, fresh, and delicious!

The surprise burrito was highly recommended to me by a former Utmb student as perfect "hangover" food. I don't know if things have changed since they went here but the only surprise i got to enjoy after coming here was a hefty case of indigestion. It tasted good at first and the portion size is generous , but mid way through both me and my friend were like woah, we need to stop, our faces mid grimace I wouldn't come back here , lo siento read more

This place never disappoints. Their breakfast tacos are HUGE and are delicious and less than $4!! Great customer service and overall nice staff. read more

I wanted to give this place a 3 star rating because it is just not clean, but I cant because the food is just that good. This place is old, and it may truly belong on diners drive in and dives, b/c it is a dive... that said the bathrooms were dirty, and I can see why another customer wrote about their stories the way they did... that said, the kitchen is clean, and so is the restaurant... you can see into the kitchen, and it is run what looks to me to be by a family of Hispanic decent... and their specialty is what they call a burrito, but is more like a HUGE taco. The burrito flour tortilla is made from scratch and is fluffy and delicious. The cost of the largest burrito on the menu is $3.75 and is a meal almost for 2. You can make your own burrito, and the ingredients actually taste good. Their bacon is very nice and smoked, the chorizo was flavorful and the eggs were good. The food was so good that if the place was clean and nice, it would easily be 5 star. The total bill for 3 was $21 My wife had a chicken soup that she said was authentic to Mexico, and her sister had a standard American Scrambled Eggs and Bacon breakfast. All in all this place is a find... and if it ever makes the TV show you would never be able to get into this place... it is just that good. read more

Food was great and the service was great! I will come back when I visits the island again. Thank you Breakfast Burritos

You could call me a regular at La Estacion. It is definitely a must whenever I am on the island. If you go to La Estacion for brunch, the surprise is what everyone should order. It is a HUGE breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, cheese, and potatoes. They always have great iced tea and coffee. More favorites include their chicken soup and the Mexican Dinner. If you want great cheap Mexican Food, no better place to head to then La Estacion. read more
