I feel that it is my job to know exactly where the best tacos are located in all of the cities in South Texas. That being said I looked up a few places online in Eagle pass, Texas and then I really deep dived. This restaurant was hidden amongst the MANY MANY options. Only having 14 reviews on yelp I said let me give it a try. I get there parking lot is empty and it's actually a bit confusing how to park. I finally decided to make up the parking myself and parked my car. Walked inside and was greeted by a friendly waitress. Only about three people working there. Dining room was empty. I will say it was around 7:00AM when I walked in on a Monday so I didn't expect no one to be there. That concerned me a little. However, I was given the menu it was all in Spanish. Luckily I understand most Spanish, but just can't speak it. I told the waitress who spoke English and Spanish what I wanted. Which was 2 potato, egg, and cheese tacos on flour; 1 bacon, egg, and cheese on flour and 1 Mexican coke to start and 1 to go. This is my go to breakfast taco order. The order came out rather quickly, but also not too quickly if that makes sense. The waitress brought it out on a beautiful hand painted authentic Mexican plate. The style kind of reminded me of my travels to Puebla, Mexico. I felt right at home. The tortillas were a nice color, the potatoes and bacon weren't soggy, and the cheese was melted! Those are my automatic failures for a restaurant if it is messed up on my breakfast taco and so far Gaona's had passed. Now time for my first bite. WOW. The texture, of the entire taco was amazing. The taco was a decent temperature not too hot which I like. The one thing I really want to rave about and that I know a lot of my family would love- is that the tortilla was TOSTADA and guess what... I didn't have to ask!!!!! Everywhere I go we always ask for our tortillas to be tostada, but this morning I was so exhausted from work the day before that I completely forgot. A tortilla makes the taco. The egg was cooked well, bacon was in strips and CRISPY, but NOT burnt and the potatoes (chef kiss) were perfection. I would say out of all the taco places I've tried this would rank in my top five. One thing I did find myself gravitating to was adding a bit more salt to my taco, but I grew up in a sodium loving family. So my love for salt is unmatched. After I finished my tacos I stayed a little bit longer to finish some work at my table and the waitress still checked up on me even though I should have left a long time ago. It hit around 8AM and people started to come in and this was the crowd I was hoping for as I was concerned no one would be there. This crowd though wasn't just any crowd... I could tell these families coming in with abuelas, abuelos, tíos/tias, primos/primas, the entire familia showing up weren't just guests they were actually regulars. It seemed everyone who enter had been there multiple times already and had their designated tables. That's what I love about a small restaurant like that to the staff you are family and that's what makes the tacos even better. This place is a hole in the wall, but that's a wall I would also run through! Go try it out you won't regret it! Just good luck parking if you are the first one there and there aren't any cars parked already, because when I was leaving all the cars outside were totally parked differently than me, but somehow their way made a lot more sense. Here's what I ordered and cost down below: - 1 Taco Tocino Con huevo: $4.49 - 2 Taco de Papa con Huevo: $3.49ea -2 Coca Cola Mexicana: $4.49ea Total gross amount of order not including tip: $20.51 I'll be back next quarter for sure!

Will be back soon! Did love everything about it! Good job ! Keep up the fresh n tasty food!

We arrived about 5:45pm and it was pretty empty. We were greeted right away and given seating of our choice. The place is beautiful from the outside in! The ambiance and decor is trendy and would be a good spot for a special occasion celebration. Even the bathrooms were soo nice! The oversized, full body mirror was definitely a plus, but the bathroom was welp kept. The service was great! Our waiter was Luis/z, the receipt said "Chacho", he was sweet, attentive, and made some great suggestions. Everyone else we interacted with were also friendly and pleasant. We ended up being here for over 5 hours! We just kept ordering drinks and food and they were also nice enough to put the basketball game on for us. We ordered so much food and drink, I lost track of the items name (especially since they were in Spanish). The only thing we collectively agreed was not good was the guacamole; it lacked flavor and we did not eat even half of it. Everything else was great and so were the drinks! I included a pic of the receipt for the items and the prices. We are out there for another 2 months and we will definitely be back!

I had heard a lot of great things about this place online and I finally got the time to come try it out. WOW. From the moment you enter you're blown away from how they've kept a lot of the original materials. The restaurant served many purposes such as house, President palace (city hall), among other things many years ago. When you walk in you see the elegance from furniture, to lighting, to decoration. They offer lower level, upper level, private rooms, and outdoor terrace. Beautiful! Usually restaurants offer chips and salsa. This place offered corn bread fritters with two different salsas. The corn bread fritters have small pieces of chicharrón (pork grinds) if you've never had them, I highly recomendable them! They have a bunch of different dishes that fit everyone's budgets. I was craving seafood so I got the Pulpo En Adobo, it's octopus grilled over fire and glazed in an adobo sauce. The dish comes with mashed potatoes and Spinach and Peanut salad. I replaced the mashed potatoes for Jazmin rice. I gulped this down with a fresh lemonade made to order! Everything tasted delicious! Once again, I can't stress this enough! This place is a must!

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.
