It seemed to melt into my mouth. The entire bold was hearty, filled with all kinds of goodness (tomatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, corn, and rice) served with a side of corn tortillas. Atmosphere: Definitely check out the bathroom. It was clean and modern. The restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere and it just gave me the feeling that I was eating at a place that was filled with love and care. Rene's is for sure one of my go-to Mexican restaurants in Waco. I can confidently recommend them to anyone.

While these both were undeniably very delicious.. the total price is RIDICULOUS. $34 for just these two items. I don't even know what the breakdown is for these items because my husband didn't ask. Best case scenario it's $15 each and that just does not make any sense. But either way, it's way too much. It would be 5 stars if the pricing wasn't through the roof. The food tastes delicious so just be aware of the crazy prices before ordering.

Recently I…read morewas driving from Austin to Dallas and decided to stop halfway in Waco and check out my old taco spot. Since I went there they have upgraded the setup and now have a good amount of covered seating and a television (used to be a projector). Main thing I recommend is their Agua de melon, I actually hated melon before drinking this and it single handedly made me appreciate melons. It is a generously large cup and so cold, refreshing and sweet. Sometimes I would order 2 because its that good. Tacos were better than I remembered with al pastor tasting well marinated and corn tortillas absorbing a lot of flavor. Not pictured was the chicken quesadilla I ordered which was and always is extremely filling and delicious. I would recommend asking for some extra salsas if you order the quesadillas but for the money such good value. Last thing I will say is the service is incredible, one of the women that used to serve me was there and she is incredibly nice, helpful and just adds to the overall great experience here. Definitely will continue to stop by and get that Agua de melon and tacos on road trips!
