While I enjoy the salsa bar, and the updates like the televised menu, I did notice that the portion sizes have gotten smaller. The to-go salsa cups have dropped to half their size, and the protein portions in the tacos have also decreased. I understand updates need to be made, but I hope they know that we can tell. And it would be a shame to lose such an authentic spot in a Mexican food desert.

Not the food or atmosphere in the least but the service well sorry there is no other way to say it but it sucks. Not because it's busy still 2 servers and a manager but the server we got well needs some training or major help. Shouldn't be left on tables by herself. If this was my first visit I can't say I would be back. She has serviced the table next to us about 5 times in a row and NEVER once stopped by our booth literally right next to the other one. But because this isn't my first and I know better than believing this is the norm I will be back but if this server is mine again I will leave before I order.

From the outside, this place might seem unassuming, but don't let appearances fool you--inside, it's tamale heaven. Each tamale is perfectly seasoned, packed with flavorful fillings, and wrapped in that soft, comforting masa that keeps you coming back for more. The staff is as warm and welcoming as the food itself, making you feel right at home with every visit. And the best part? They keep their prices reasonable without compromising quality. Tamale Shack is a must-visit for anyone who loves real, down-to-earth tamales. I forgot to take pics of the actual tamales cuz i ate them too fast

We'll be ordering more tripa next time around as that was our favorite!!! 2. Quesadilla Loca. Hello? Just look at the picture and video. No regrets. 9/10. Would order again, again, and again. Would be 10/10 however, doesn't come with rice & beans. Easy fix though, we ordered it on the side. 3. Burrito de Carne Asada. The pico and guac typically goes inside however, i ordered on the side as a personal preference. Not the best i've had but pretty good overall. Honest rating 6.5/10. I'd like to try the other burrito options as this one was the most basic. 4. THE HORCHATA IS DELICIOUS!!!!! Not too sweet and just hit the spot. If i'm ever in the mood for some, this will be the go to spot. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and felt homey and welcoming. Enjoyed the atmosphere!! Hasta Luego Larry!!! (for now)

El Taco Larry is located on Pass Road just east of Debuys Road, in a location that has been a few…read moredifferent places over the years. It has an odd but memorable name, and they only have a social media presence and no website that I could find. I've been here a couple of times in the past several months and forgot to take photos, but their Facebook page is loaded with pictures of different dishes as well as their menu, so you can see what you're getting. They have an extensive menu with traditional offerings plus a lot of stuff you won't find in other Mexican restaurants. Last time I went, we were seated in a booth and it was very poorly made because you can feel every movement of the person behind you. The guy behind me was violently enjoying his meal because I was getting bumped around every time he moved. It was incredibly annoying and uncomfortable, like the back had become partially separated from the seat. I had the quesadilla combo, which was only $10.99, and it came with rice, beans, and salad. The "salad" was a small bit of lettuce with a dollop of sour cream and a few bits of tomato. It's not a side salad in case that's what you're expecting. The quesadilla actually had a good bit of chicken in it, but very little cheese, and everything was dry. It wasn't bad, but I don't think I'd order that again. If you're looking for a unique non-alcoholic drink, I highly recommend the Mangonada. It's a frozen blended fruit drink with lots of mango chunks and the straw is a tamarind candy stick. I really enjoyed mine but it does take a while to drink since it is completely frozen. Our server was great and friendly, and the food came out quickly, so this is a good place for lunch. It was packed last time I went, and I think it's helping to fill the void left by El Saltillo closing near the mall.

I am not sure if this location will stay in business much longer. We went on a Tuesday night - Taco…read moreTuesday - and were the only people there. In fact, I think our waitress was also doubling as cook and bartender. She appeared to be alone and did at least do a good job given the circumstances. The tacos here are really good. I had one with pork belly and grilled shrimp, another with brisket, and one with shrimp. They had lots of stuff filled in them and great sauces, but even with the 3 taco combo deal they were $6 each. The little side dish of dry rice didn't really count for much in my opinion. And they charge for chips and salsa! Here's the bigger problem besides being empty on the busiest night for most places that sell tacos - this location literally shares a parking lot with a much larger Mexican restaurant called Pedro's. And you know what? Pedro's gives you chips and salsa for free. They have a much larger menu and better prices on literally everything. PS Taco would probably do better in a more open location where their competition isn't right next door. I liked what we had, but it was way overpriced and the value and atmosphere just wasn't there.

My partner had the carne asada tacos they said was a little dry in their opinion. Everything tasted pretty bland overall, nothing particularly special flavor-wise. The service, however, was great! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere felt upbeat with a small bar inside, which gave it a fun vibe. Prices were reasonable, around $13 per plate, and the cleanliness was average. Overall, it was a fine experience, just not one I'd go back for the food.

It vibes like an old house turned into a restaurant. The menu and cuisine is so similar to what you can get in Texas, that's a more authentic vibe than most of the Americanized stuff you see littered through the deep south. I believe I had ceviche, which was amazing and a HUGE portion. I also either had a stuffed avocado or mole chicken, I honestly can't recall. But all that we had was delicious. This is a place where you can have both authentic cuisine that's also clean. Very clean eating if you desire. I was so happy to have this option in town. Sadly, we haven't been since but I'd not turn this down if ever suggested. I hope the locals appreciate what they have in this!
