Guacamole with chips & fresh pork skins! Super good! Made fresh!!!
Lavisa Y.

You walk up and see outdoor seating & cute lil plants which pull on my heart strings. Entrance is pretty hip. Open door and it's surprisingly small but the vibe it gives off is super rad. You walk up to register and you can see chef cooking food as you order. Super clean in lobby and kitchen. Love the hip wall paintings and they have sports on t.v. We ordered the guacamole and it was served in cocktail glass with chips and pork skins. I'm picky about my guacamole because at most places you can taste the preservatives. NOT HERE!!!! THEY MAKE IT FRESH & it shows So we ordered 2 sets of street tacos and chicken quesadillas. Cardi Asada & chicken were off the chain, pastor was a tad bit salty but I'm sensitive to salt. Everything was awesome. They even had a good selection of of drinks. Lastly the staff was awesome. Super helpful, inviting & helpful. Even bumped into the chef at the local grocery store later that day and treated us like hometown regulars. We will definitely visit again soon. Nothing but good things to say about this place .

Birria tacos
Madelina N.

An awesome spot for tasty tacos! The only thing I would say though that surprised me was how small the establishment is. There are only four tables on the inside that are pretty small but the outdoor seating is nice on a day that has good weather! The tacos with Birria were great and the staff was lovely to our group :) the portion was good enough for me, but I could see it being not fulfilling if you are super hungry. i'll have to come back and try different tacos next time.

Very good tacos,  service was great. I will come again

Taco was very good and it didn't take long. The service was very good service. I will come again. I recommend Mr. Taco

These were some of the best street tacos I've had in ALL of Texas, will definitely be back next time I'm in Galveston.

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.
