Been a fan for a long time. Hot sauce and lunch specials make this a regular dining spot for our family. Recommended

The service was excellent because the wait staff was attentive courteous and very helpful. This is a Tex-Mex sort of atmosphere with a focus on Veracruz Mexico. Yes there is some decoration but not overly so. The cheese enchiladas were on the lunch special and they were excellent. Especially liked the thin delicious melted slices of cheese melted over top with great tasting beans and a light salsa. read more

This was my first time eating there. It was during lunch and I ordered the chicken burrito that came with rice and beans. There was no seasoning on none of the food. The food was bland, so I tried to enhance it with the salsa, but that didn't work. The salsa had no flavor either. The high point was the service, very nice wait staff. read more

Their food is always consistent and the service is always good and the ambience is always good

I've had better food from a microwave oven. I've had better and more cheerful service in a jail cell. (not my fault) The table smelled like it was wiped down with a week old rag. The fajitas (beef) tasted like liquid smoke. Keep driving and thank me later. read more

Family owned, fabulous food and a nice clean dining area. Love their hospitality and homemade meals

Food is always delicious and hot! They have my favorite hot sauce in town. Service is great and people are very friendly!

The food was very good. The service was even better. The atmosphere was nice also. It wasn't very busy when we went.

Best Mexican food restaurant in all of Texas!!!! "Afogadas" are truly unreal, as well as their hot sauce and queso!!! 10000/10

Ate here today for the first time having only moved to the area last year. I have lived in South Texas most of my life and eaten at hundreds of TexMex restaurants, and today I discover the best Beef enchiladas I've ever eaten. The rice was done to perfection very light and fluffy. No Curry. Service was great. Chips and Salsa free. All reasonably priced. 5 stars. read more

Tortilla chips were horrible. Tasted like they were fried in rancid oil. The floors looked like they hadn't been sweep in a week. ALL the wait staff looked like they were unhappy to be there. WILL NEVER GO BACK! read more

Went here because of the reviews and they did not fail! The chips were served warm, the waiter efficient, the chicken fajita served spicy as asked and the tortilla must have been homemade because it was warm, soft and delicious! read more

I am hesitant to try Mexican restaurants because I am very choosy about them. I was convinced to give it a try and I was very impressed. Not only was the food very good, but the staff was exceptional. This will now be my go-to stop for Mexican when I'm in Victoria. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went to jail for two years, and if this is all they had I would have rather starved to death. All that I could tolerate was the tortillas that came with my fajita plate. Ground beef Wsg over seasoned. Queso came with lumps. Filmed over a thick layer . This made me miss the honey and jelly on whole wheat grain with crackers and wet Oreos in prison. Wouldn't feed this to my dog. I work at Taco Bell, my standards are NOT high. We use powder for our beans, and the beans here make ours look gourmet . Came in around 4:00 in the afternoon, only one other table was sitting and we had to go to almost other end of the restraunt for a clean table . Come to find out , the table sitting down was the staff. As our server got up from her table , no joke finished chewing next to us facing them, then turned around and asked how we were doing. When I said I needed a minute, she sat back down, continued eating.. this was, an experience. To say the least. read more

I was in town briefly for business and was taken out to lunch at Veracruz. Veracruz is a no frills mexican restaurant with what looks like a very loyal regulars crowd. Everyone knew everyone and the waitresses were very personable. The food was great. I ordered the beef fajitas which were very flavorful. The "for 1" portions were large enough to feed two and all for $12. read more

With visiting Victoria on New Years Eve, we went to many Mexican food locations in the town and this was the only one we could find open. We are so glad to find it because it was delicious. They have a fajita/enchilada plate combo, which I have never seen at any other Mexican food restaurant. It's really the perfect dinner for me because I hate to choose between the two! I chose the beef fajita, which was so tender and flavorful. It came with the enchilada(I chose cheese) rice, beans, homemade flour tortillas and a healthy scoop (small bowl) of guacamole. The flour tortillas was so good that I ordered a dozen to go. Being from Dallas area, finding homemade flour tortillas done right is very hard to find. Our waitress was nice but seemed tired. It was a little confusing with the younger "helpers" bringing drinks and various things but I guess it is to help our tired waitress. My husband loved his food as well and his margaritas. He reviews too. The man at the register was nice, made small conversation about the Dallas Cowboys with us and helped get us flour tortillas to go. If we are ever back in Victoria, I would definitely want to eat here again. read more

Best restaurant in the area!! Been eating there almost 25 years. Same good same hostess and very affordable!!

This place is the absolute best. It a place that I stop at every time I am back in town. They have amazing lunch specials and the salsa is the bomb. The staff is always the nicest and the owners are always smiling. Highly recommend this place. read more

I love this restaurant!! The food is great and the iced tea is perfect. Never weak and they give you plenty of ice. Also the salsa is my favorite of all the Mexican restaurants in town. read more

I read great reviews about this place when looking into Mexican restaurants in Victoria. It was the only one to have so many positive reviews so we were excited to try it. We got in about 1.5 hours before they closed. There were a few people eating and lots of empty tables, yet we weren't seated until 10 minutes after we arrived, and we were seated at a dirty table and they bussed it abound us. The menu was like all Mexican restaurants, except they had almost no vegetarian options. They let us substitute beans for meat with no problem though. The food was average. We got a small nacho which said (6) next to it. It was literally 6 tortilla chips, some broken, covered in beans and cheese on a plate. There was enough toppings for 3x as many chips. Then to top it off, there was a hair that was not mine in our guacamole! Gross! read more

I am a Mexican & Tex Mex food connoisseur.. This place does queso justice. Not to mention it's been around for a very long time. The owners of the restaurant are usually around and they are awesome people. Very friendly and very supportive of the community. read more

Good place to grab a bite to eat. Service was nice and friendly.

This is my husband's and my favorite Mexican food place, so much so that we had our wedding reception here. Try the enchiladas ahogadas, you won't regret it! The fajitas are divine as well. In fact, I've never ordered something I wasn't completely happy with. read more

Worst. Margaritas. Ever. Taste like watered-down lemon-lime Gatorade. Food was no better than Taco Bell.

These guys have the BEST homemade flour tortillas. Salsa was good. They keep the drinks and chips coming as fast as you can inhale them. Highly reccomend them! read more

Read great reviews so tried it out and was disappointed. As a Rio Grande Valley native, I grew up with the best Mexican food and this place doesn't compare. Rice was good, beans were ok but tacos were more like Taco Bell than Mexican. The fajitas tasted like a different cut of beef, not beef skirts, which is what fajitas are. Disappointed. Service was good and staff was very friendly. read more

I went one Friday around 8 and it looked like they were closing. The food was ok and the service not so good. Maybe I went on a bad day but to me it wasn't that great. read more

Have been going since before I could walk, but I've eaten Mexican food all across the state and I haven't found better Fajitas. Between the Fajitas and enchilada dinner plate there isn't any restaurant in Victoria that compares. Biggest sweet teas and families with as much love and care as cheese covering their tacos. Victoria's finest read more

Never eaten anywhere in Victoria before. Decided to go here because it had a lot of cars in the lot. My experience was all around very good. Ordered fajitas for two. The portions were enough for 4 people. Meat was good- not fatty, tortillas were homemade and delicious, and lots of guacamole. Service was excellent. Will be back when I'm out this way again. read more

This place has my favorite chicken fajita tacos in Victoria. They have incredible homemade corn tortillas-make sure to try those!!!

This was a little off the beaten path on the way to corpus and the exterior was a little run down but the food was well worth the drive. My steak and burrito were tasty and homemade tortillas were awesome. read more

Wait staff was non stop with refills and chips/salsa, price is right & plate is full!! Chile relleno good, carne Guisada good & enchiladas good! Tortillas are home made too... read more

Very little atmosphere to this place. Could have been Western Sizzler in former life. I started with chips and salsa. Salsa was fresh and delicious but might be a little on spicy hit side for some. I wish I had a better vehicle for it though as the chips were thick and chewy. The pico that came with meal was good but a tad heavy with cilantro. The guacamole was excellent. The tortillas were excellent. The beef fajitas were tender and juicy but had a bit too much charcoal flavor. The peppers and onions were undercooked. Overall, some good and some not so good, but slightly better than average, maybe 3.5 stars because of the tortillas. read more

Horrific food. Fajitas come on a plate, the meat tastes like leftovers, rice was undercooked and crunchy. One of the people that are with us threw up as soon as we got back to hotel. I only ate half of 1 fajita and couldn't force myself to eat anymore. Sonic would have been a 5 star compared to this place. Negative stars here read more

good consistent beef fajitas. fast service. I've been a repeat customer but only ever eaten the beef fajitas. the quantity is large, tortillas are fresh/homemade. comes with good guacomole and queso. the salsa is spicy and tasty. read more

Passing through looking for a good place to eat. The reviews were good so we stopped. Big mistake! Apparently if you stop within an hour and half of closing time you'll be greeted with all the warmth of a walleyed pike. There was a group seated at a large table in the back which we soon learned was the staff. The hostess tells us sit wherever so we did. She brought menus and got our drink order. She also delivered chips and salsa at this point the only thing she said to us was sit wherever and what do want to drink. Next came the waitress. This is when we learned the only other table in the place was the staff. She put her phone down and meandering her way to the table pulled out her note pad and pen then just stood there and looked at us. Never said a word! This should have been a clue to find somewhere else to eat but we stayed. Both ordered the Texas Quesadilla. Bland over cooked the only thing that was eatable was the guacamole and chips. Compete waist of money. When we got up to leave we couldn't even get anyone to put down their phones to come to the register. We left the money at the register and walked out. Bye bye. read more
