We had pre-ordered our plates (beef or chicken fajitas mainly) and they started serving us about ten minutes after we sat down. There are about 50 of us. The four servers obviously have taken care of large groups before. Smooth, fast and efficient they are. The food was pretty good. The green sauce has a good kick. We had sopapillas and honey for dessert. A great ending to a good meal.

I ordered three of the regular (smallest) sized chorizo and egg tacos. I get my order and leave, thinking geez, the bag is heavy. I get down the road and realized they've given me not only the largest (burrito) size, they've loaded it with chorizo, egg AND potates, beans and cheeze. I wasted 30 minutes in line (the drive-thru is very inefficient, I watched three other cars bail out of the line because it was taking too long), over paid, and didn't get what I ordered. Won't. Be.

My husband went an picked up an order I placed for a large Frappuccino and it wasn't filled up all the way, there was no whip cream, and it tasted VERY watered down.

First off, we received the complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa! Wow! Definitely made there, not out of a jar. It is very chunky but the flavor is amazing! It is different from any I have had before. It a little bite that builds as you go. I would buy this for the house if I could. We each had different dishes. Everything was very nicely done. The meats were your normal meats but super tasty and very well cooked. The sauces were very flavorful. The place itself is nice. It is country, nothing fancy. But comfortable. Service is similar, not going to blow your socks off but perfectly fine. Overall, we were very happy with the food and the price versus what you get is very good.

What a fantastic stop in Cuero! From the moment I sat down, everything felt warm and welcoming. The…read moremeal started with fresh, hot garlic rolls -- perfectly soft and flavorful, and with butter already on the table it was so easy to enjoy them right away. A simple tossed salad followed, crisp and refreshing, just the right lead-in for the main event. And oh, that main course! I ordered the Veal Marsala with veggies, and it was absolutely outstanding -- rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Each bite had me smiling, and it was the kind of dish that makes you want to slow down and savor it. The staff here deserves their own round of applause. My server was attentive and kind, and when it came time to pay, the lady at the counter was so friendly it felt like leaving a friend's house after dinner. This little gem has won me over completely. When I pass through Cuero again, there's no question -- I'll be back at La Bella Tavola without a doubt.

To say I was disappointed by my meal here would be an understatement. I had wanted to try La Bella…read moreTavola for several years and finally did this evening. I imagined on Valentine's Day that the atmosphere would be more pleasant but it was completely lifeless inside. There was no music playing and practically no one speaking to each other, making it quite awkward for my friends and I. We started with a very underwhelming Caesar salad, to say it was average would be a lie. We then bit into very obviously frozen mozeralla sticks with no flavor and a rubbery texture. Our pasta dishes were painfully plain, with the lasagna not even being layered, sauce that had no flavor, and an overwhelming amount of rubbery cheese. I understand this is a small town and suppliers likely don't provide the best options. However, I was actually angry when I ordered FOCACCIA and received a French roll cut down the middle and covered in more rubbery cheese. I suppose whoever made the menu has just never had focaccia anywhere else and assumed it means cheesy bread in Italian. Not to mention my server tried to charge me twice for it. If you are looking for somewhere to eat in Cuero do yourself a favor and go to Whataburger, Taqueria Jalisco, or pick up a frozen lasagna from HEB if you are really craving Italian. Quite frankly this was the worst italian food I've ever had, I'm sorry to say.

Ventura's Tamales

Food rated 3 stars but our server was so nice & so helpful I gave 4 total stars!…read moreThere were four of us and we had the following : chips and loaded queso, cheese enchiladas and double rice, pork tamales, small bowl tortilla soup, and one combo beef fajita taco&chicken enchilada. We went through two bowls of homemade chips while we were waiting for our entrées . The queso was very good too. Our server advised she had seen them not to put the hot sauce and pico in the bowl of soup and it wasn't near as spicy so that is how I ordered mine. My grandson said the pork tamales were just OK, not as good as what they usually get closer to home. His friend ate maybe one enchilada in a little bit of rice, he said it was good. My soup looked really good but was super salty.-so much so that I only ate about a quarter of it. During this time our server came back-and-forth to check on us. Make sure everything was OK and refilled the boys drinks numerous times. The real problem comes when you consider the ambiance. The building was very old. The floors were very scuffed and did not look that clean the entire ceiling was those old-fashioned tiles and were stained with water and what might've been mold. The interior could've used a paint job. It was very bland looking. Overall, it didn't look the cleanest either. It's really rare that I have come across a place that was as dilapidated as this. Just be aware of this should you go. I'm hoping for their sake since they've expanded their hours to be open seven days a week that they're able to renovate the property.
