    Taco de Bacon
    JemuelnleAnne M.

    Amazing --local authentic and hand made tortillas. Delicious and affordable a hidden gem!! I love it

    Breakfast and lunch taco filling options
    Jordan N.

    The breakfast tacos here were flavorful and affordable. One large taco of migas with refried beans spread on the flour tortilla was filling, and relatively healthy. Relatively because it was probably the lightest thing I can order - other things are heavy on all sorts of red meats and not much vegetables. At least one oversized taco came out to be less than $3, a fair price for the amount I received. Pros: Tasty kidney refried beans Migas option available Homemade flour tortillas (oversized and thick to hold the content) Cons: Food not made fresh to order - cafeteria-line style Atmosphere was a dive - feels like a country way station inside that used to be a former convenience store back in the old days for the farmers nearby.

    Don't let the shanty appearance fool you! This place is unique, clean, quick, and they have such an awesome array of tacos that makes it difficult for one to choose. I highly recommend for a diet meltdown, stress eating and those who want to spoil themselves with some carbs for the week.

    We stop at Corpus Christy on our way to SPI, and we were looking for some good tacos for breakfast, we came to this place, because of the reviews, and we do not regret it. When we arrived the parking lot was full (which is a good sign for any restaurant), the parking is a mess, since there are no lines on the floor, everybody parks as they come. Do not be discouraged if you see it full of cars, since service is very fast and most people ask for their tacos to-go. The place is really small, with only 6 tables for eating in, so it would be hard to accomodate large groups or families. You basically walk to the taco bar, where there are different taco fillings for you to see and choose, the lady making the flour tortillas is right there are well. Fresh made flour tortillas are hard to beat. We tried picadillo, chorizo&potatoes, carne guisada (it seemed to be the most asked), and barbacoa. Everything was delicious, our favorites were chorizo&potatoes and carne guisada, the barbacoa was too greasy for our taste. The price is hard to beat too, 5 tacos plus 2 drinks were less than 20 dollars. Also, tacos are very stuffed with the filling of your choice, so they have forks, because it will fall off your taco, two tacos will be more than enough for the average taco lover. We will definitely come back for more delicious tacos

    The menu choices are on display for your selection.

    It sure isn't a large place but the food and service is outstanding. If you haven't had their tacos yet it is a must. Prices are great too.

    With the name being in Spanish you'd expect true authentic Mexican flavor but no just another white…read morewashed Mexican restaurant. The most authentic flavor item in my lunch was the refried beans that look like poop at first sight. Rice was bland with cumin flavor and the mole was the most disappointing. Might as well have called them regular enchiladas, the flavor was basic taco mix with a tiny taste of mole. Just a thick cumin or comino paste. Enchiladas should be dripping with sauce in the inside. These were dry tortillas that were barely garnished with sauce on top. The chicken inside was very flavorul but dry. Then the 16 oz lemonade was 4$ and it was super sour ! I never leave reviews. But this was truly disappointing.

The corn, the bacon wrapped jalapeños and the nachos with tinga chicken. The corn had something bitter in it I chalked it up to the lime, little to much but I'm sure can be ordered without. The bacon wrapped jalapeños were perfectly made and zero fire which I appreciate. The nachos were huge half corn tortillas with refried black beans and cheese when I added the chicken I didn't realize it would add 14 dollars to my nachos!! lol I honestly thought it made the nachos 14 dollars. The sweet tea is soooooo good So I said maybe based on my $59.00 lunch bill.

    I'm new to the area and needed a good local (authentic) taco place and I'm pretty sure this place…read moreis it. However, I would imagine that, depending on your taste, it might be hit or miss, but that is strictly subjective. I got a Birria taco and a Picadillo taco. The birria was amazing (see pic) with pulled beef, cilantro, and onion (typical traditional style), the other one was some kind of minced meat and potato (still good but not even close to the birria. Also, I got a "large" shake and the thing is the size of a 7-11 slushie!! However, I think the ice cream had some homemade element to it, because it was kinda gritty and icee. Didnt have a tone of flavor, but not big deal. Final thought: I gave it a 4* but it is VERY close to 5. The birria was a 5* for sure. Will definitely go again because they have like 20 different breakfast tacos that I need to try. Since I am a breakfast, brunch, and brinner kind of guy, breakfast tacos are good any time of day!

Their tortillas are fresh and homemade every time. Honestly good enough to take home and eat on their own smothered in butter. The barbacoa tacos are one of my go-to orders. Always consistent. The papas a la mexicana are another favorite, sometimes with some eggs mixed in. Horchata is excellent too. I usually sip some on the way home and mix the rest into my coffee. I haven't made it there for lunch or dinner yet, but for breakfast tacos, this is one of the best spots on this side of Corpus.
