    Bean and cheese with bacon
    Tab E.

    Figured to try and squeeze in one last new restaurant before the start of 2025. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The breakfast tacos were a mixed bag. The tortillas were fresh and provided a solid base but didn't have the taste I prefer. Ordered classic bean and cheese with bacon and a barbacoa. The barbacoa was decent, especially for a weekday. Not too fatty and not that much oil but the bean and cheese just didn't hit right. Salsa was tasty and had good heat though! Overall, breakfast tacos had potential but fell short in a few areas for me.

    Best menudo so far I have!!!! I drove to the place that I always go to and they were sold out of menudo, so I searched up menudo and this place was the nearest restaurant so I stopped by and ordered a bowl of menudo!! OMG!!! Highly recommend this place,

    Foods are delicious.. Verde Migas plate.... Willing come again and this is my second time

    Less than 11 oz of barbacoa including weight of styrofoam container.
    J D.

    I ordered and was charged for 1 lb of barbacoa, but received just over 10 oz including styrofoam container. I understand that with inflation profits are tight for small businesses, but money is also tight for hard working families. This is careless at best, and dishonest at worst.

    This is my go to place for breakfast tacos. The tortillas are very good. Lunch specials are on point. Friendly staff and fairly priced.

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

    This place is a small hole in the wall type place but if you are looking for great Mexican bbq food…read more- look no further. The menu is fairly simple but everything is too notch. The grilled fajitas were exceptional - meat perfectly seasoned and peppers and onions perfectly seasoned and cooked. The beans have a great flavor and even the rice (I'm just not a fan of most Mexican rice because it's bland) had a great flavor. The tortillas are the perfect thickness and are soft and warm. And of course - the green sauce - it's amazing! Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food came out quickly on a Saturday evening during prime dinner time. The true indicator of how good this place is - we were the only gringos in the entire restaurant! We will most definitely be back before long!! Well done!!

The chorizo and ranchero sauce really made it stand out. The Mexican street corn on the side might have been even better. That stuff is seriously addicting like crack. I could have eaten a bowl of it by itself. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Now listen I enjoy a good mood, but this setting went a little past moody. It was DARK dark. They could definitely bump those lights up about two settings and still keep all the ambiance. lol Thankfully, the food and service needed no adjustments. Our waiter Stephen was really nice, attentive and quick throughout our visit. Thanks for taking good care of our table! We tried the paella and steak fajitas, and everything came out nice and hot. Both were enjoyable, but we also need to talk about those spicy mango and watermelon margaritas because the drinks definitely DELIVERED. Flavor was there, and so was the pour. Overall, we had a good experience. Nice River Walk location, hot and tasty food, great drinks and friendly service. Just turn those lights up enough for me to admire the meal before I eat it.
