For drinks, Mexican martinis and margaritas are perfect, not too strong and not too sweet. For food, I wasn't crazy for the birria tacos and wouldn't get them again, but everyone else in my group had delicious plates which is why I gave it another chance. Second time around I got the al pastor mini tacos. These by far are the best al pastor tacos I've had! So juicy and flavorful. Can't wait to come back and try something new.

Went back with our aunt who was in from AZ. She ordered mini tacos which came with beans. The…read morewaitress asked if she wanted beans, she said yes and brought out the charro beans. Well my aunt (who is almost 70) didn't see on the menu it said charro beans was an up charge, refried beans came free. So when she got her bill she was surprised to see she was charged extra for the beans. Mind you the refried beans DID come with her tacos. Why did the waitress not ask "do you want the refried that comes with it or charro for an up charge?" Instead, the waitress automatically gave her charro beans. You don't automatically give someone the upgraded version to their meal and especially not without asking which kind of beans does she want. I'm writing this update bc in my last review the waitress did the same thing by up charging my husband's meal when he didn't ask to. BEWARE here! The food is pretty decent, nothing crazy but it hits the spot if you need some decent Mexican food. However, go over your bill and clarify everything-twice! Just in case because they will try to make extra money off upgrading you without asking you.

Came in for a quick late Sunday lunch and had a great meal with tons of overordering. Its a very…read moresmall spot that is essentially a converted house so it feels homey and quaint. As we walked in, we were greeted by who I assume is the owner and she let us know there was a free table next to her. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us chips and salsa shortly after being sat. The chips and salsa were excellent and I, as usual, ate too much. The salsa had a good spice and great flavor and the chips were very crunchy and crispy (like fritos but airier). I ordered a small menudo and chilaquiles with green salsa and both were really good. The menudo had a ton of flavor, good spices, and the stomach pieces were cooked perfectly; super tender and no, sometimes off putting, lingering offal smells. The chilaquiles were also great and the green salsa was mild and refreshing, with excellent side of potatos and beans. I could not finish my food as I thought the small menudo would be like a small cup not a whole bowl. I had also filled up on chips and salsa and our waitress refilled it so I had even more. All in all, this is an excellent little local spot for some bold flavors and fresh food. The menu is quite large and I'm curious to come back and have some other foods (like chicken fried steak).

Whether it's tacos, enchiladas, or anything else on the menu, the quality is consistently perfect every single time. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. They're always so kind, welcoming, and accommodating -- you can tell they truly care about their customers. It's one of those rare places where you walk in and feel like family. If you're looking for a spot that delivers great food and even better people, this is it. I'll keep coming back for years to come!

I had the absolute **best experience at Briana's Taqueria**! The tacos were seriously the…read more**tastiest, most delicious tacos I've ever had in my entire life**. I'm not exaggerating at all when I say they hit every single craving perfectly. From the very first bite, I knew these tacos were on a completely different level compared to anything I've tried before. The flavor, the freshness, the way everything came together--it was honestly incredible. I've had tacos from a lot of different places, but nothing has come close to tasting this good. I genuinely don't know what they put in these tacos to make them taste so amazing, but whatever they're doing, they've absolutely perfected it. The first time I tried them felt almost surreal. It reminded me of that iconic scene in the movie *Ratatouille* where the food critic takes a bite and instantly gets transported back to his childhood, remembering his mom's homemade cooking. That's honestly the closest way I can describe the feeling--it was like pure comfort and nostalgia all in one bite. On top of the incredible food, the **prices are amazing**. It's honestly surprising that food this good can still be so affordable. You're getting top-tier flavor and quality without paying crazy prices, which makes the experience even better. It's rare to find a place where the food is this delicious and the prices are still so reasonable. Overall, Briana's Taqueria completely exceeded my expectations. Between the flavor, the quality, and the value, it's easily one of the best food experiences I've had in a long time. If you're even thinking about trying it, I would **highly recommend it**--you definitely won't regret it.

Came here for lunch around 3pm on a Saturday and were surprised this place was empty…read more We were greeted and seated right away. Server asked if we knew what we wanted but since it was our first time we asked for the menu & ordered 3 drinks: Mexican bottled coke, jarritos (pineapple) and Sangria (soda non alcoholic) We ordered 18 mini tacos and 2 cheese quesadillas. Total was: $57 (cash ONLY) - Al pastor: 5/5 for taste, flavor, presentation and amount of meat to taco ratio. Only thing sadly missing was fresh pineapple for topping. - Suadero (fajita): 2/5 it was nicely packed but sadly missed the mark on flavor and it was very dry. - Cabeza: 2/5 the cut of meat was good but missing flavor. - Chorizo: 3/5 the flavor was good but not great. - Cheese quesadillas: 4/5 the cheese was quality cheese but didn't actually melt at all. Once the food came out (10min) we were given 2 types of salsas: green guacamole and red with chile de arbol. I was only able to add a few drops of the red salsa so beware. Overall we really enjoyed the food, service and mainly the al pastor tacos. We'd come here again if we're ever in Kyle.

Sin embargo, la única razón por la que obtiene 1 estrella es porque pedimos nuestra comida que salió muy rápido, lo cual no es una queja, pero la comida y la salsa tenían poco o ningún sabor, la porción de limon que recibimos era muy pequeña, las porciones tenían poco o nada de jugo cuando se exprimían.

I am extremely disappointed by my recent experience at this restaurant. My family and I have dined…read morehere many times in the past, which makes how we were treated even more unacceptable. We were already seated at our table with my mother and children when the situation occurred. My special needs child had a caramel frappé from McDonald's, which is her preferred drink and one of the only things she consumes, as she does not eat by mouth. Our server had already greeted us and taken our drink orders without raising any concerns. Shortly after, another employee approached us and stated that outside drinks were not allowed. I calmly explained my child's medical needs and that the rest of us were planning to order food. Despite this, the employee brought over a manager, who repeated the policy without any willingness to listen or show understanding. We were then told we could not stay and were effectively asked to leave. While I understand that businesses have policies, the complete lack of compassion, flexibility, and basic customer care in this situation was unacceptable. This was not a case of bringing in outside food for convenience--this was about accommodating a child with special needs while the rest of the family intended to dine and pay as customers. Being asked to leave under these circumstances was both embarrassing and upsetting. Based on this experience, I will not be returning. I hope management seriously reflects on how situations like this are handled in the future, because no family should be treated this way. I'm pretty sure they won't reflect on this situation seeing as how the manager was all too happy about kicking us out, he literally showed absolutely no compassion or care at all.

Everything was pretty delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The Catfish Beignets were perfectly crispy with a hint of sweetness, but nothing super special about them, just tasted like fried catfish to me. The Diablo Chicken Pasta was nice and saucy, but like the catfish beignets, was a bit bland so I needed some salt to up the flavors. The shrimp ceviche was very refreshing, delicious, and a solid appetizer that was packed with flavor. The Chicken Waffles was good as well. The chorizo gravy sauce that came with it, was different, but complimented the whole dish very well. Overall, the portion was a bit smaller than I'd like for the price that I paid, but the food was overall pretty delicious. Our server Michael was fantastic. Super fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. A full bar, but didn't have Pina Coladas. Lots of tables and chairs to dine at. Clean restrooms and lots of parking. They have this huge fancy front door that threw me off a little lol.

Even then, i thought it was ok, especially for the price point. Stellar: First our server, Faith: she was super friendly, attentive and funny and made it a pleasant experience. Also, the shrimp tostada bites were killer - I could eat those all day. My wife's carajillo was perfect. OK: catfish beignets-the batter was well seasoned and crunchy, but it seemed like the actual fish needed seasoning as it was pretty bland. Grilled chicken sandwich was pretty bland too: the chicken was slightly dry and aside from the avocado, onion and tomato, there was not much flavor. Checked the buns to see if they were spread with an aoli but no, pretty dry. I thought Z Tejas was ok then and it's still ok and wouldn't be my first choice unless it's for happy hour where they have the shrimp tostadas on special.
