    Hoy visité este restaurante en terrell y ordené menudo que está delicioso Mi hijo pidió carne asada que está delicioso Es un lugar chiquito en terrell, solo quiero decirles si buscan menudo vengan aquí. Es lo mejor que he probado en menudo. Y la comida es muy accesible su precio.

    The food was great. It tasted like it was made that morning, not frozen and reheated as in some chain restaurants. The waitstaff unfortunately was somewhat overrun. (One staffer looked like she had it all under control and another looked like they would rather be someplace else.) As for the decorating, yeah, dated and clearly the last thing on their mind. Would return to try other items on the menu.

    Mom & Pop AND hole in the wall all rolled into one!

    I know, we're all looking for that great hole in the wall, or Mom and Pop's diner. I found both! Let's see, decor circa 1960, check. Magic marker menu boards, check. You see where I'm going with this. Tables and chairs straight from the 1950's. I like! She brought us chips and hot sauce, which I wasn't expecting. The BEST chips and hot sauce I've had in a while. Delicious! Glenda picked an all veggie plate, while I got the Patty Melt with fries. Both were old school delicious. Places like this are a taste bud treasure. Dessert? Too full, next time. Thank you for a great meal Terrell Cafe!

    Nice home cooked feel about this place. The overall look of the restaurant is dated, but don't judge a book... (you know the rest). From Mexican to American, there is a variety to choose from. I had the Carne Asada and my wife the Burrito platter and chicken tortilla soup. We both agree the lunch was good but could use a little more spice. The soup was on point (recommend). Service was great, staff were pleasant and attentive. Overall 3.5's

    Taste disgusting and is brown

    Great food from Southern Home Cooking to Mexican. Home of the best homemade chips and salsa as well as the peach cobbler.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile and a genuinely welcoming attitude that immediately made us feel comfortable. The entire place was exceptionally clean, beautifully furnished, and had a wonderful atmosphere that was both inviting and relaxing. The staff went above and beyond throughout our visit. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and answering any questions with kindness and professionalism. Their excellent customer service truly stood out and made our experience even more enjoyable. The food and drinks were just as impressive as the service. The halal turkey bacon, egg, and cheese croissant we ordered was hands down the best café sandwich I've ever had. The croissant was perfectly buttery and flaky, and the sandwich itself was served warm and fresh, making every bite absolutely delicious. The Chai tea we ordered was brought out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. To top it all off, the Biscoff milk cake was the best cake I've had in a very long time. Every item we tried exceeded our expectations. On top of the quality, everything was fairly priced, which made the experience even better! One thing that especially impressed us happened at checkout. We later learned that the person helping us was actually the owner. As I was leaving a tip, I asked if it would go to him, and he explained that it goes directly to the employees instead. I found that to be incredibly respectable and a reflection of the kind of leadership and values behind this business. It's clear that a lot of care and attention goes into maintaining both the environment and the quality of service here. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming, clean, and well-run establishment with outstanding food and drinks. We will definitely be returning!

Oh my, the girls at the front have been so sweet and kind! They often make conversation while also helping choose the best options on the menu! Now for the good stuff! The Menu! I have yet to try any of their food options, but I have had a chance to try both their iced and hot lattes! I can confidently say that Cafe Frida knows what they are doing when it comes to a good cup of caffeine! Sometimes, especially when ordering something with a bit more sweetness, coffee or espresso can lose it's taste, and as someone who craves the taste of coffee and espresso, Cafe Frida def makes sure all flavors are balanced! I just love when a coffee isn't overtaken by so many different flavors! I already cannot wait to go back! I attend pilates on Wednesday's, so they will def be seeing me again!

And whenever we take a drive like that, we make it our mission to find a highly rated local lunch spot. This one was on the way home and looked promising, so in we went. I will say this for Texas. Onion rings are everywhere here, far more than when I lived in California. I will happily take that as a win, because the heat for about nine months of the year is not my jam. Sadly, the onion rings were not listed as one of the many sides (so we couldn't get them as a side with our meal), but we ordered them as an appetizer ($8.99 I think) with blue cheese dressing. I am not a ranch girlie, and I stand by that choice. The blue cheese had huge chunks in it, which makes me think it might be house made (bonus point!). Now, the rings. I am firmly Team "Battered" Onion Ring over Team "Breaded", and these absolutely delivered on the team battered. They were almost chicken-fried, -- super craggly, crispy, and deeply satisfying. These were the star of the meal, so do yourself a favor and order them - but you need a friend to share them with, its a heavy portion. They also have great lunch specials, most around eleven dollars. I got the pot roast with two sides, refried beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. After indulging in the onion rings, I was not exactly starving, so I ended up with enough leftovers for another full meal. The pot roast was nicely shredded and tender, and the gravy was rich, flavorful, and worth every calorie. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak, (he's obviously on a diet!), with fried okra and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was forgettable, but everything else on his plate was solid. Service was friendly and efficient, and this place definitely fills up at lunch, so plan accordingly. A very good roadside stop, and proof that sometimes the best meals happen when you are just out running errands.
