    Pork chop, egg, refried beans and potatoes . Barbacoa taco

    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.

    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!

    June 22, 2021 It's been years since I've been in. Was in the area at the right time (they close @2) Came in for just mexicana (just the eggs) and 16 oz fresh squeezed watermelon juice (they have fresh lemonade too) Everything was delicious! Friendly staff. Old skool..."cheap" Mexican eatery ...my all time favorites. Total $3 BUY LOCAL SUPPORT LOCAL

    My father use to live in Galveston and we always were so amazed at this place for their giant tacos. We always get the surprise. About 10 years later and it's just as good and the outside looks like it got a nice paint job. A must visit when in town.

    It has lasted this long for a reason. They offer classic…read moreTexMex dishes at a good price. The staff was friendly and quick to help with everything our party needed. While there may be better Mexican food on the island, this is a solid choice when you're craving comfortable and familiar food.

    Open since 1916, the Original Mexican Cafe is within walking distance from the Port of Galveston…read more My brother and I stopped in for a weekend early breakfast, and we found the service, price, and taste to be good. It opens at 8 am, so we waited around outside until it opened promptly. It has two main dining rooms, one of which was being used for the breakfast crowd. A basket of really good freshly fried thin tortilla chips were given with a decent salsa. We were given a breakfast menu, which had many things I wanted to try. 3 Barbacoa Tacos a la carte ($9.75) - a lot better deal than the plate (2 tacos with rice/beans/potatoes for $11.95). The tacos were good, decent size on a flour tortilla with cilantro, raw onions, and limes. It was decent quality shredded beef: moist and tender with good flavor. Menudo ($9.95) - only served on the weekend, this version was big with a ton of beef tripe (a lot more than there was hominy, which I'm not used to). I like tripe, but this amount was too much for me. The broth was flavorful and rich, and a good remedy for the little cold I had been fighting. Ended up finishing maybe half of it (ate all the hominy though). You pay at the front. Service was friendly throughout, and by the time we were leaving, the place was filling up. Parking is street, and there was plenty of it in the area.
