Does this place have good food... possibly? Good luck trying to find out which one it is…read more This place has all the old hits for Mexican home food, whether it's from breakfast tacos, to lunch guisos...they also have barbacoa, carnitas, etc. my experience has always been that when you have so much... quality lacks. First off...when you walk in, it's somewhat confusing. The building feels old...I'm not sure what it was before, maybe an adult day care? They have these old school cafeteria tables that are bolted into the ground. So do you sit down and order with a waitress? There's a counter on the right side...do they seat you? And then there's the huge line where you actually choose your guises or plate you want. One HUGE pet peeve of mine with establishments is when they don't post a price. On the wall, they have all the plates you can choose from...with no price. Why? Are we doing a guessing game? Can you imagine going to a place like McDonalds...and they have no prices next to their burgers? Why? So you take a guess on the price on what you want to order....the food "looks" good. But they give it to you on these old school cafeteria plates. Come on guys...do some investments on new cutlery and plates. If you are dining in, after them giving you your plate, you seat yourself and then a waitress comes by and asks you what you want to drink. It feels like chaos in there. On top of everything...they have a counter to the back where you can order barbacoa, chicharrones, or carnitas by the pound...but it's a mess because those customers blend in with everyone else. Is the place humming? Definitely. I had the carne guisada plate... honestly I think eating it out of that 1980s plate took away half the flavor. The carne guisada was decent. I would actually recommend the El Tigre carne guisada plate for only $7.50 over this $12 plate. Is there something of quality in that place... possibly. But I'm not going to play Where's Waldo in trying to find it.

Authentic Mexican food. All the plates are amazing, but my favorite is the chiles rellenos on…read morefridays. The meat by the pound (barbacoa, carnitas, chicarron prensado original, mollejas, and tripitas) are the best in the RGV. Convenient drive thru, but it will get busy on the weekends. You can call in your order before arriving, but payment over the phone is required. It has changed from what once was a grocery store to what is now RVG Tacos Del Guero.

Disgusting Experience - Never Going Back…read more This place is absolutely terrible. San Marcos Country Corner Store is supposed to be a quick stop -- you know, grab a Coke, some tortillas, maybe a jar of mayo -- in and out in five minutes tops. But instead, I was stuck waiting over 35 minutes just to get my items. Ridiculous. The staff? Rude, careless, and clearly miserable. That skinny girl and the one with the nasty attitude both looked like they hated being there -- and it shows. There's zero customer service, no urgency, no respect. If they don't want to work, then stay home. Simple as that. This store used to be a quick, easy stop. Now it's a total waste of time. I'd rather drive to Walmart and get what I need without dealing with the attitude or the 40-minute wait. Never again.

So you're all set in one stop which is nice: a little to please everyone in your car for any road trip. What more could you want? I don't know! The best thing is that you can play the Texas Lotto! And every employee her is nice and friendly and they always wish you good luck!!! :) I haven't won the lotto yet, but like all others hoping that I do in this near future! And if you play the lotto, I'm wishing you some luck also! Keep shopping & playing the lotto-it's he only way to win!

The El Tigre food store is the closest gas station to my workplace that I prefer. Often, it is a…read moreplace to stop to get their breakfast tacos. The tacos here are preferred over the competition because they aren't as greasy nor are they soggy. The tortilla usually tastes better than at other gas stations that sell breakfast tacos and the deals available are pretty good too. .99 cent tacos are a current deal and they are good. This gas station has a rewards program called the Plenty card. I recommend that you get it of its your preferred gas pump stop. Any Exxon brand of gas station accepts the plenti rewards and the way it works is as follows: You earn 1 point per gallon that you pump. You earn two points for in-store purchases such as tacos or junk food. The more pints you earn, the more you can get back in cash discounts. Since we all pump gas weekly, the pints do rack up fast. Often, I am told that I qualify for a 2-5 dollar discount on my gas purchase or my taco purchase. I have the choice of using it or banking for a larger expense. What's better, you can earn points outside the gas station as well for qualifying purchases at Macy's and other online stores. It's a free card that I would recommend you get if you frequent Exxon gas stations in general. The gas machines have recently been updated and the cashiers are always smiling and friendly in the morning. I can't say anything of the afternoon employees as I don't usually go inside in the afternoon. Go for the tacos, and get the Con Todo taco, which has a little bit of everything. It won't disappoint.

Stopped by for a quick snack and drink on the way to San Antonio. Cashier mentioned that the Coke…read moreZero I was buying came with a full sized Pringles can for only $1. I figured why not, and told her yes. I looked at the digital display to see what the total was and noticed $3+ for Pringles and $2+ for the coke with a $1 discount for the combo special. I asked her why the discount was only $1 (since this equates to a $2+ Pringles can), and she repeated herself ... 3 times. I get it, it's friggin $2 and I could have just purchased this and been done with it (absorbing the $2), but principle outweighed my need for 125 total grams of carbs. I remained respectful, as did she. I'm just speculating, but I think this combo is actually "buy a Coke Zero and get a Pringles can for $1 off" instead of "buy Coke Zero and get a Pringles can for $1." I'll write it off as an honest mistake; the cashier looked hardworking and I don't think I was being purposefully ripped off for all of $2....but one could figure that those $2 can pile up if other people are not as careful with their math.

You can't really drive through to get a michelada with beer inside... but you can drive through to get a Clamato Preparado with a beer ON the side. So I bought one of those suckers ($8?) and was about to drive off when something caught my eye. Smirnoff Preparada. What the heck? Turns out an SP is a 20 oz smirnoff icce, with gummy bears, chamoy and chile inside the beverage. Then on TOP of the beverage, more gummy bears, chamoy and chile. Obviously I had to get one. It tasted like sh... nothing good but the gummy bear chamoy concoction on top was delicious. All of these things are an acquired taste of course so feel free to experience this madness on your own.
