    This would be the corn tortilla beef quesadilla. Once you try the corn and flour 'dillas it will be hard to pick which one next time.

    I grew up in Texas and the El Lugar family has been around for decades. In my opinion the #7 super quesadilla is one of the best quesadillas you will find ANYWHERE!!! The corn chip quesadilla salad is fire also. Plus they make your food from scratch right in front of you! I was in my teens when I first tried the #7. Hooked immediately. Back then there was only one location and now I think they have 5 or 6. Trust me waiting in line is definitely worth it. Do not let that deter you. I don't know their beef recipe but it is meaty goodness. 7 stars out of 5 stars lol. Very friendly service and cute waitresses. Watch out for the green sauce unless you are brave enough.

    Pretty good burrito. My sister picked us up two beef burritos. The green sauce was spicy and amazing. She swears they have the best burritos.

    First time visiting this location and I enjoyed it. We ordered 5 tacos (#2,3 and 8) and chips and salsa. The servings were large, the prices were ok and the service was pretty fast. The restaurant itself was ok for what it is but there were some "interesting" customers in there. As for the food, the tortillas were great. Warmed and full of yummy ingredients. One note for new customers, you won't find pork ( other than ham) on their menu, which is different for me. Maybe I missed it but I don't think so. Choices of meat were beef, chicken and ham. The tacos we're tasty although different than what I'm used to. I'd go back again for the tortillas alone.

    While this place has defensively lost its touch I still will not miss a stop driving to New Orleans even if ya 15 min out of the way. Tacos are still amazing, only one kind of meat don't expect a variety but you can have them with onions, cilantros, cheese, avocado, tomatoes, Mexican cabbage and other yummy selections. Their quesadillas are their staple item though it looks more like a burrito. Definitely recommend this place the original site that has a cool origin on how they got started.

All the breakfast food we've ordered has always been served fresh and it's very good. The coffee is nice and strong with a selection of creamer. Note: They have a cash price and a regular price for the meals. The service is always excellent and we are treated like friends. Loved our server today as well! A++ for her! Only change I would have is to cook the onions and jalapeño more before adding the eggs to scramble l, but that's something I'm sure they accommodate at time of ordering. As well as the steak omelette needed a bit more flavor to the egg. The steak was tender and delicious however. The pancakes are a bit dry but the taste is good. Large, satisfying meal portions with flavor and a comforting ambiance. We will continue to go back again and again and just ask for a couple of tweaks to be made if possible.

My appetizer was missing some stuff that I saw another waitress carry out (the same appetizer) fully loaded. Esquites is messy without a spoon, my friends. Everything felt messy and the napkins were not easy to ask for when everyone is running by. The prices on the menu do not match what is charged. I'm not sure why but our meal was a lot less expensive than anticipated, not a bad thing, but I wish the prices were clear because I would have ordered something different. Speaking of the menu, dang. That thing is a beast! It took me so long just to get through it and decide what I wanted. If you can find an online version study up! The food was quick and fresh. I have no complaints there! The soft-serve margarita was everything I hoped it would be. Lastly, the restroom ruined my whole night. It is a cesspool and thinking of the staff also washing and using the facilities makes me cringe. I can only speak for the ladies room when I say the temperature was a good 20 degrees warmer than the rest of the building. There was NO circulation, so guess what? All the stank stays in the stall. I'm sorry I don't know how else to explain what I experienced but I had to go home and shower.
