    One of the best I have ever had.
    David N.

    First and foremost, authentic Mexican cafe. Service was excellent and the young boy acting as door greeter was priceless. Two servers were attentive and helpful. All 4 of my party ordered a different type of burrito. All were spectacular and with a smear of the green sauce became heavenly. Brought back lots of memories. Definitely warrants a return trip for the lunch specials.

    Chilaquiles
    Hannah N.

    We wanted to seek out a local spot for breakfast and came upon this quaint little place. They have about 7 tables inside for dining in. They seem popular for to-go orders. The breakfast menu is extensive, so much that I had a hard time deciding. I went for my usual chilaquiles in the end and my family had various breakfast tacos. The food was brought out shortly and everything was hot and fresh. My chilaquiles was simple and tasty with the eggs cooked just right. My family's breakfast tacos had a good amount of filling and was also tasty. The green salsa that was brought out was slightly warm and had the perfect amount of kick to it without being too spicy. We left happy and full. The ladies were friendly and welcoming. Great local spot that we all agreed we would gladly come back to support!

    Burrito de Papas & Chilaquiles
    Stephen G.

    I recently moved here from Miami, and was looking for a joint with my aunt, who is a local. We decided upon this inconspicuous spot after multiple failed attempts at many bigger name restaurants. Boy were we in for a surprise... On my first visit I had the fajita quesadilla, while my aunt had the soup (fideo). The second time we came here was for breakfast, whereupon I had the burrito de papas and my aunt had the chilaquiles. The first thing I noticed was the quality of the food. My quesadilla had real steak in it - and it was good! Such great flavor, pouring out of each and every bite. For what it's worth, my aunt loved the soup as well. The quality, and quantity, of the breakfast was astounding - not to mention the great price! My burrito, which was the size of a small infant, was exquisite. Perfect combination of eggs, bacon, and potato. The quality of the bacon was also excellent. I was extremely surprised. My aunt couldn't say enough about her chilaquiles. We have definitely found our new "joint." Do your self a favor and pass by this little, unassuming, place. You will be in for treat. Now I know what they mean when they say, "it's what's on the inside that counts." Never has a place more embodied the spirit of that phrase. I'll be coming back. Definitely.

    Trio Fajita Lunch

    So I came here to grab some food to go. It's a small hole in the wall type spot. Those types of restaurants normally slap, so I was excited. However this was a rare exception. First off, social distancing was nonexistent. Restaurant was running at full capacity with less than 6 feet of space between full tables. Additionally, I was told my food would take 15 minutes to make, but I ended up waiting over 30 minutes. I ordered trio fajitas, beef, chicken, and shrimp fajita with a side of rice and b. Portion size was small for the price. Additionally, the fajita was overcooked. The long wait, disappointing meal, and lack of social distancing means I won't be coming back.

    Burrito de Jamon and migas con chorizo.

    This place is breakfast perfection. The staff are friendly. They are quick to refill your coffee and if their breakfast burritos are the best I've found. The beans are seasoned just right, the tortilla is homemade and the tomatillo sauce is spicy and flavorful. If you are in Galveston, give this place a try.

    i recommend the beef cheek burrito, while cheap the price was a little more than what was listed on the menu; overall decent little place.

    I am in love with the #26 breakfast burrito! Yelp is making me write more, so hopefully this is enough.

    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.
