Sazzon Bowl is more of a salad
Aileen B.

The service was very good and our server was very friendly. You can tell that this restaurant is more contemporary because as someone else mentioned the inside is modern and sparse with only one picture for decoration. The music is at a good volume level. You do not get chips and salsa when you first walk in. In fact, if you want chips and salsa, you have to pay $3 for them. The tortilla chips seem homemade, but they are not salted. The salsa is very different than what you get at a typical Mexican restaurant. It's almost more of a vinegar base. It's got a little spice to it, but we really enjoyed it! My husband got the Sazzon Bowl. It was not at all what we expected. It was more of a salad with rice and meat in it. I got the shredded chicken tostadas. Our personal opinion is that the food did not have much flavor. In fact, the vegetables on the tostadas tasted watery like they've been soaking in water to keep them fresh, but the problem with that is that then they just taste watery and make the tortilla kind of soggy underneath. I mean, the food was not bad, but it just didnt have any flavor. We paid $40 for the meals and an iced tea..... I'm glad we tried this place but I do not think that we would come back.

Shrimp taco
Ahmer M.

Fantastic service, the old lady working there is so sweet and soft spoken. Their fish tacos were phenomenal and I had a hibiscus agua Fresca. Tried the shrimp taco too, it was good. Their rice was special. Felt at home.

Grilled Fish Tacos

Authentic Mexican cuisine in a small Texas town. We had the grilled fish tacos, frijoles and chips and salsa. Everything was very flavorful. The servers are so nice!

Bowl.
Marisol G.

The tables are covered in tile flooring. Strange, but they were clean. The dining area was narrow. Guests kept bumping into each other as they walked past tables. I ordered the tacos Al pastor. Decent flavor. It came with 3 tacos, and a small bowl of refried beans. The tortillas were blue, and I thought it was blue corn, but it's not. They are using food dye in the tortillas. My daughter ordered the BC Shrimp taco (NOTE: ONE TACO), my husband ordered the huarache (AGAIN: ONE HUARACHE), but it did come with a side of refried beans also and my son ordered the mulita (ONE. ITEM.). The refried beans were cold. My daughter ordered a bowl. All I can say is, the flavor of the food was good, but we all left there feeling robbed. The sodas were $2.50 each and they are served in a CAN. The taco, huarache and bowl, were all singular items and ranged from $9.00 - $16. The mulita was $10. It just didn't feel right to pay $16 for a single item and still leave hungry. Not worth it. We should've just gone home to cook.

In my opinion, this place is too expensive for what you get. My husband and I spent $40 for takeout for shrimp tacos and a chicken tinga huaraches. The portion size was small, but the food was good. the huaraches especially was very fresh. Personally, the restaurant and food options made it seem like food should be worth $10-$12 per dish, not $18-$20.

Chilaquiles with steak and egg... only available on Sundays!
Anthony B.

Fantastic. Wonderful authentic food prepared with both care and efficiency. Friendly staff and clean environment. We came in on Sunday. I had the chilaquiles which aren't offered the rest of the week. They were sublime, if just a little too salty. My kids had a Sazzon bowl and the sips. Both were happy with their meals. Alpine doesn't exactly have a wealth of food options, so check this place out!

Fresh salsa!!  So yummy!!
Kristine F.

Wow what a delightful little establishment!! The food was colorful and bursting with tantalizing flavors!! It took a little long to make but everything was fresh and made to order and for me it was 100% worth the wait!! We devoured the chips and homemade salsa...man it was so good, I wish we lived nearby or I would totally take some to go!! The restaurant itself is clean and very casual. It wasn't busy, but we were greeted with a friendly smile and seated immediately. We travel through here about once or twice a year...this place has been added to one of our favorites places to stop!!! Boo kept raving how talented the chef was for making such amazing food! Be sure to stop in and have have a taste!! It will definitely entertain your tastebuds!!

Simple Mexican food in Alpine. We stopped by en route to Terlingua for an early dinner. Just a few patrons inside but our host / server J was very warm and welcoming. He made nice suggestion for our meal, and was quick to bring the food. We started with the stuff jalapeño peppers that came with different cheeses and some other stuff. About four these sliced in half. Pretty good. The chips and salsa are complimentary and we devoured the whole basket. Salsa was a little runny but the flavor was great. I opted for the carnitas tacos (3). Very yummy, came drenched in guacamole and other sauces. Overall this place was pretty good. Visitors keep in mind you're in remote west Texas so don't come with outrageous / city expectations.

Fish tacos
Ana O.

The cafe is very simple but very nicely done, contemporary casual decor. The food blew me away with flavors. We had the salsa sampler...instead of typical texmex pickled jalapeños, the presented a roasted corn, avocado/tomatillo, and an anchor chili flight with home prepped chips. Husband's fish tacos were Melt in your mouth good. I had a huarache that was rich in flavor. Iced cold beer to top it all off. We were just passing through Alpine, TX but if I lived there, this would be a weekly spot for me.

Baja Fish Tacos!!!
Mike C.

Was driving thru town and the reviews looked good. Was in the mood for tacos. Assumed I would get some kind of street taco. Turns out the couple that owns this place is from Baja California. The fish tacos blew me away. Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you.. The food is very authentic...

Sopes
Linda R.

WOW!!! 5 stars only because I can not give more!!!! I ordered the sopes and tacos dorados de papa. I ordered both because I couldn't decide and took leftover for later. (They were still delicious, LOL) When in Alpine, TX and want to enjoy delicious authentic Mexican cuisine stop here.

Salsa, chips, guac. $3 for salsa and chips. $6 I think for guacamole

The food was delicious. The waitress was quick, pleasant and eager to serve us well. I got the tostados that had a nice kick- chicken was my meat of choice. My husband got the carnitas tacos, which he said were slightly dry, but tasty. We definitely had to add salt, but I much prefer that to having over salted food which seems the norm. The guacamole was good - as was the salsa, but could had smaller onion chunks. ;-) The only down side was $3 for chips and salsa. That was a little shocking to us, but worth it- homemade chips, fresh, in house salsa. The atmosphere is clean and sparse... but clean! Easy to get to , and a million times better than the other options in Alpine that we've tried over the years and visits. Music was tasteful and not too loud, booth was clean and comfy! There were radishes on the guac and the Chicken tostados. I removed the radish to eat them. The dish actually was quite crispy... the juice left some puddles in the plate, but I propped them up on my knife to keep them out of the liquid, and they all three stayed crispy until the last delicious bite.

First -- and I rarely comment on other reviews -- there is nothing "weird" about the food here…read more Further, yes... This is a cash-only business. That's a rarity these days, and I'm sure the IRS and local school district are getting all that's due to them. (Not really.) I'm an out-of-towner, and I stopped here for lunch before heading back south. The food and service were good. Not great. Indeed everyone was friendly, and there was enough gooey cheese to float a battleship. The "frozen" beer mug was actually a plastic mug, which is horse hockey. If I'd known better, I would've saved the dishwasher some trouble and just sipped from the bottle. Back to the food... The cheese enchiladas here are divine. They're gooey, and the red sauce is wonderful. The hard corn tacos are fine ... nothing special. Same thing with the rice and beans. -- Mexican rice in these parts has been wet at every restaurant. I'm used to dry Mexican rice. (And I was taught by a Mexican abuela how to make proper Mexican rice.) But I digress. Chips here are marginal. Hopefully, they come in on a truck, because they hardly taste like they are fried in the kitchen. The salsa, while served cold (which is proper) is a little too chunky for my taste, although it has a nice bite to it. The locals eat here. Good for them, because this place is decent. But also bad for them, because restaurants like this one should breed some decent competition ... even in a tiny town such as Alpine. Also, bad for them because this place only accepts cash, which most people don't carry these days. (Yes, we had cash, but the six ladies at the adjacent table didn't.)

Very disappointing. My wife says we have eaten there before, but I dont remember. Service was OK…read more Wife had green chile chicken enchilada which was not very flavorful. The chicken had no flavor at all and the dish was very soupy. The server said "that's the way they serve it". That's fine, but wife couldnt eat it. The plate was barely eaten and the server offered no recourse. It was wasted. Then the cashier came over, whom I believe to be ownership, and told us we could come to the counter to check out. We showed her the uneaten plate and she just looked at us and said she would charge only 50%. Since it was barely touched, I feel it should have been totally removed from the bill, but what is $7.00 among friends. She really acted as she didnt care. Chips were store bought and cold. Salsa was very good, but was cold as if it had come straight from the refrigerator. I had a bowl of beans and they were "weird". We paid and left. Needless to say, we will not be back. I suppose it's the manner in which the whole situation was handled and the demeanor of the staff.
