Queso dip
Ricardo H.

Came here today for a pick up order and when I first walked in the door, the staff was very kind and attentive, so that's a plus. So here goes the reason for the three stars, the queso had some kind of tang taste to it and the puerco red asado plate was a little too on the greasy side. My wife enjoyed her aasda mini tacos. Overall it was ok, might give them another shot in the future.

Beef Taco.  Yum!!

I love their queso here and their salsa is perfect to add to anything. I love their breakfast tacos. everyone at work says I'm weird but I like the Barbacoa egg with pico de gallo and extra cilantro and Barbacoa and egg are so good together! Again I love their salsa. Today I got the beef fajita taco and it is so good! I got two and I only needed one. They are not huge it's the size of a big taco. But it was really good! And I did not even use any salsa.

One of the best breakfast places in town, the food is made fresh and it is awesome. The Barbacoa is bomb.

Chile relleno
Eva P.

There a million Mexican food places in Texas so what sets this place a part? Try the Chile relleno. When I was a little girl my grandmother used to make these for my grandfather maybe once a month. She would make a big batch stuffed with cheese and onion. She made the most perfect egg batter that surrounded the chili along with a tomato-based chili sauce. I've never had anything like them since until I went to La Gardenia. They make the best ones this side of the Mississippi. So the next time you're in the area stop in, everything on the menu is divine.

Been coming here for several years! The food is always good, their burritos are fat, and very affordable.

I've only ordered breakfast from here but they're fantastic. I would imagine lunch/dinner is just as good. Friendly staff and quick service.

Burritos are amazing! Also really liked their Carne Guisada. My little nephew is super picky but he loves the rice and beans with tortillas.

Had great service again today but this time we ordered through DoorDash!…read more 1. They ran out of veggie patties so we traded it for the green beans. They were sweet and had a little spice to them. They weren't my favorite but my gf enjoyed them. 2. The Mac and cheese was good as always. It's different than other Mac and cheese I've tried and I can't exactly put my foot on it. 3. I got the curry chicken but I transferred it to a bowl because I didn't trust the styrofoam container. It comes with carrots and huge pieces of potato YUM! It was amazing and great portion size. 4. My gf got the curry chicken as well with rice and pease and cabbage CHEFS KISS 5. I got French fries as well- they were a different kind than last time I was there. I preferred the crinckle cut they had before but this was still good. Wish they were crispier. 6. I cannot wait to eat here AGAIN seriously such good food!!

I literally sped here after hearing that there was a Jamaican restaurant near me and I'm already…read moreobsessed. From walking in this, this is literally the friendliest Jamaican restaurant I've ever been to. They were so great at describing the menu and informing us about when certain foods would be available (typically no oxtails on Mondays). PLUS they have BYOB karaoke on Fridays?!?! I haven't been yet but I'm in love qpewa Unfortunately I came on a Monday so I was conflicted because I am an oxtail girl through and through so this time I got the brown stewed chicken and jerk chicken plates which come with cabbage and rice peas. And the portions?!?!?!? Are definitely worth it (we got the large). The taste? Delicious. So yeah 5/5, I would quickly recommend!!!

First the service. It's a family owned business. In a historic building. The food is great…read more Flavorful. Best onion rings I've had are here. I come on Sundays after church with my friends. Yesterday, I had the Rafe's club it's a BLT with egg. You can have it with home fries, or french fries or hash browns. The huevos rancheros are delicious; the Berries and cream in Brioche bread is just so pretty, you don't want to cut it. The Quickie includes 1/2 a sandwich and the soup of the day. It's large enough if you're holding a meeting. I totally recommend this.

This review is for the breakfast. I would definitely go back for lunch or dinner if I lived closer…read more First of all, I take one star off because the coffee was really bad but that's almost to be expected when you eat at a Mexican restaurant for breakfast. I go to breakfast plate at a Mexican restaurant is always going to be where was rancheros. I liked that they added some Chilaquiles to the plate (tortilla triangles, doused in salsa and cheese). The eggs were perfect done over easy and did not have those crispy overcooked edges. Also got refried beans. The serving was a good size. They gave us plenty of tortillas which was nice. My spouse ordered one of the omelettes and it was very a large and he said it was delicious! Definitely would put this on my breakfast rotation but not for the coffee!
