    Remaining chips and salsa before they were gone
    Charlie C.

    Immediately upon walking I was welcomed and smelled some awesome food. This place is what 8 have. Been looking for near the house. I have been driving 20-30 min to get a decent bite. I ordered (5) Carne Asada tacos and a large fry with a coca cola to wash it down. The food was tasty and fresh, the service was very professional and knowledgeable of the menu and the atmosphere changed my meal from a "to-go" to a dine in and my order came with chips and salsa. I will be back for sure.

    The family and I are back at Taqueria Zavala. This place has fantastic food and everyone that works here are family members with great attitude. This business is all about customer service. Come out and support them they deserve it. I wish my father was still alive because he instilled in me that customer service is the most important thing associated with any business is good customer service. Again, this family provides excellent customer service. One thing to note they have just extended the business hours of operation. See the attached photo of the new hours.

    Omg!!! I order chilaquillas verdes and asked if they could make them SUPER spicy... the lady said sure..  I was super pleased.

    Omg!!!! My chilaquillas were made to perfection. I asked for Super spicy... and I was Super pleased with the amount of food and taste. The beans were Awesome! You can never go wrong with Taqueria Zavala. Hats off ti the Chef... I would Highly recommend this place to dine in or take-out. Until next time...

    Food is great, service is always great. My favorite place to eat when I come to Red Oak.

    Omelette

    SUPPER friendly, super fast, AMAZING prices, fresh, homemade (I'm not 100% sure about the tortillas but still good), authentic. Greatest little breakfast EVER. Real Mexican cheese. Feed 7 people for 80$, 8 bottle drinks were in this price. That might sound like a lot but it was TONS of food. Salsa green and red so good!

    If you read any of my reviews, you know I'm a bit of a Chilaquiles fan. I used Yelp to locate this spot as I drove to Dallas. I didn't see Chilaquiles on the menu, but I sheepishly asked, and they were happy to make them. The food I got was phenomenal. The picture doesn't do it justice. These are some of the best Chilaquiles I've ever eaten. Also, the service was friendly and excellent. I wish I lived closer. I would be a regular.

    Not sure but my friend ate every last bite

    Choosing this place as our brunch spot did not disappoint. The beans were amazing!!! Haha. I really like good beans. All the food was delicious. I can't speak for my friend who joined me for brunch but it did not disappoint us. I loved my huevos rancheros. The salsa was delicious. The potatoes were also very good, you could tell they were fresh. I had the carnitas taco too and the meat was tender. The good overall had great flavor. Next time I'm in the area I will come here for sure, no doubt. The chips were not fresh, you could tell they were bought and obviously to a Hispanic anything but fresh tortillas is kind of a bummer. Wish the flour tortillas had a more authentic taste. None the less, I don't care, the main course was delicious.

    Menu

    The lady at the register was very sweet & helpful! I got the 14inch burrito and it was amazing! Taste like it was made at home! I included the menu as well!

    Burrito,my husband had ate the other half before I thought of taking a pic and that was the 12 in. Huge portions

    Food was good and seasaoned. We will return. Im not sure if the Manager was the one greeting guest but he never greeted us. Im not sure if it was because we didn't no Spanish but that was kinda rude being that the Restaurant was almost empty and we were the only ones not addressed. I really l Iiked my enchiladas so I will still return possible will get them to go. My husband really liked his burrito. Descent Mexican food with good prices. Horchata isnt flavorful like im use too but for $2, I didn't complain. I will return although I feel if you are not hispanic, you dont get the same welcome so work on that staff and I will give you more stars.

    We just left Hugo's Mexican Restaurant in Red Oak, Texas, and unfortunately our experience was…read moredisappointing this time. We had to send our queso back because the meat tasted old. It was replaced with ground beef, which tasted much better. What also stood out was that the manager, Chris, walked around greeting every table except ours. We noticed he continued greeting other guests as people came and went, and as an African American family, it made us feel uncomfortable and overlooked. This is not the kind of experience we are used to at Hugo's. Previous managers have always been welcoming and treated everyone fairly, which is one reason we've continued supporting this restaurant over the years. The food was also mediocre compared to past visits and definitely did not taste the same. We have never sent food back before and really hated having to do so, but we didn't want to risk getting sick. We do plan to return because Hugo's has always been known for good food and great customer service. We just hope Chris was simply having an off day, or that improvements are made so every customer feels equally welcomed and valued.

What DID surprise me was the interior of Zucchs. We were told to seat ourselves in a restaurant that had very interesting twinkle lighting against a mostly dark interior. We decided to sit against a far wall in a booth and were greeted by a very charming waitress who told us all about the menu and Zucchs. Zucchs is listed as a $10 - $20 range dining experience. I believe this menu now reflects our changed economy with entrees nearly all greater than $20 and burgers and sandwiches greater than than $15. Salads with a protein $15 - $24. Desserts $13. Sides were very reasonable. My husband and I both ordered burgers. I ordered the All American Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato and hold the mayo for me, add extra pickles! ($12.50) He ordered the Western Bacon Cheeseburger with Bacon, iceberg, tomato, onion rings and a side of BBQ sauce ($16.50) I didn't have to have fries as my side. I could choose from a list of 12 sides! Now you're talking. I chose the onion rings, my favorite with a burger. Our burgers arrived looking great, hot and yet I don't understand why they can't melt the cheese. Sigh. The Burger, otherwise, was terrific. Nicely toasted, thoroughly dressed, gave me everything I wanted plus delicious onion rings instead of French fries. My husband's BBQ sauce was spicy sweet and yummy. Great with the onion rings. I had heard, even read, that Zucchs was Red Oak's new upscale restaurant. But what I was hearing in a nearly empty restaurant was intrusive overly loud Country music and it remained that way for most of the time we were there. Yes. I should have spoken up. Now Zucchs is also billed as comfort food, American food for diverse tastes. I see nothing about the exterior or any marketing that says country. This tells me when it's nearly empty, the chef preference is country. Loud Country. Five stars for the Charming, thorough and sweet service though. She made sure we had everything, I mean everything we needed. All in all, we enjoyed our meal and would return. There's adequate parking and plenty of distanced tables and booths. Even a private dining room. There's a drive thru now, too!

The caldo de res was better than home, and very well served portions. At least 10-12 oz of meat maybe more and a great array of veggies and excellent rice and condiments on the side. They don't skimp on the lime for the soups either. We ordered an extra order of flour tortillas. The food came with two for each but they were so good we got one more order. Also for alternative sweeteners they have yellow blue and my favorite pink which I have found they have available less and less. I will come back again. The menudo was excellent. Only complaint is they could have better soup spoons. Bring your own if you are partial to deeper soup spoons, which is petty in the big picture of it all. My dad is picky as I will get out.

The birria tacos had a good flavor but were extremely oily, making them get soggy quick. My husband had the guisada which he said was tender and the flavor was good. The service was good. They bring out two salsas and beans with the chips which was nice but a bit underwhelming as far as flavor. The restroom was separate from the sink and the sink had no soap which left me hoping they wash their hands in the back. For the price, I'm not sure if I will go back.
