    Breakfast taco: potato, bacon, egg, and cheese
    Katrina B.

    This place is great. We ordered potato, egg, bacon, and cheese breakfast tacos with extra green and red salsas and DANG Y'ALL I cannot recommend this place enough. Killer ~homemade~ tortillas, perfectly cooked bacon, and salsa so good I ended up sipping it after each bite We actually came back a second time the next morning for the exact same order, that's how much we enjoyed this place. Definitely want to come back to try the rest of the menu!

    If you want to eat half empty tacos go there ( $4 / small taco with big tortillas and nothing inside of it) not that they just lifted prices double or triple after Corona , but amount of food you get is very minimal. This used to be our favorite breakfast place , not anymore. Pretty disappointed If you are in San Marcos area and want to eat breakfast- go to Toma Taco near by great service and great food .

    Tortillas are homemade, menudo was fresh, barbacoa gordita was also great and breakfast tacos were delicious! Our family will back!

    Our server was great and very nice! Our family will definitely be back here! Awesome breakfast place!

    My husband & I were looking for a place to eat a good Mexican breakfast and we happened to drive by and outside he noticed that the building had homemade flour tortillas written outside in red letters so we circled around & gave Wow-Wees Cafe a visit. Well, wow-wee we're not disappointed. He ordered the 4 cheese enchilada plate & a chorizo & egg taco. I ordered the Woo-Wee Special that came w/a small menudo, 2 over medium eggs, a small portion of barbacoa, refried beans, & potato....it was the perfect amount. We ended up ordering a pound of barbacoa to go to take to my niece. Everything was delicious & our waitress was very attentive. And, yes, the homemade flour tortillas were excellent. We are happy campers.

    Being from SA, I consider San Marcos a second home. But, I've never put much stock in their Texas, Mexican food. Basically, and sadly it's not their thing. Most places here get one or two things right, but they always stop short. Maybe, because it's a college town, who knows. This place is no exception. I must've passed this place at least 1000 times as I head up to the school, and today I decided to stop for a couple of tacos. The short story is that the fillings were fine, but the tortillas were absolute crap, garbage. They had the texture of dry and unbaked pie crust and tasted like play dough. I won't dig deeper into it, but if you decide to visit, don't expect good tejano food. It's just another overrated taco joint feeding unsuspecting kids.

    Largest Burrito in Texas for under $10.... Down Home and Authentic to satisfy every taste bud. The chips and salsa mix are delicious. Bottled Coca~Cola and the XL Burrito selection will not fit on any plate, platter or in any people; except those who are champion consumers.

    The food can be good. I have been going here for years. However, the prices are outrageous, and they nickel and dime you for everything. Would you please tell me how this makes sense? I'll order a to-go XL burrito to receive a small container of salsa. You must add at least two or three more to make that even equivalent to the size of that burrito. A small problem, yes, but it is outrageous to charge three dollars extra for good salsa for that item. They change the prices every single time I come. It is never the same standard price. Greediness, poor management, and not going back. Such a shame. This place was good.

    Decided to get an inexpensive Mexican breakfast this morning with my boyfriend bc I've been here once before, but never again. This restaurant had the audacity/ ignorance that has led my bf with a mouth full of carne and cockroach yes, a whole cockroach. LUCKILY, He only ate one leg (pulled it out of his mouth ) and we feel BEYOND DISGUSTED. If he bit and crunched into that BIG GUY He would of lost his shit and went Godzilla mode on those mfs because there is NO WAY they just did this shit to us. I ran out so ducking fast because I have a sensitive stomach, but come on!! Think about the DISEASES BRUH. Do yourself a favor and do NOT waste your time like we did for a cheap Mexican breakfast

    Jorge’s Mexican Restaurant - Cheese enchiladas with rice and beans

    I have come here 4 times now and I am obsessed with this restaurant. I am difficult to please but…read morethis place has everything: free chips and salsa that are actually fresh, eggs cooked accurately to order, menu variety and they're good at all of it, sweet AND unsweet tea (both good), a queso that doesn't congeal instantly, man-sized portions, flavorful beans...and you can eat like crazy for like $25/person. Their salsa is what I like most: spicy enough to make my scalp sweat but not so spicy that I can't taste my food. Normal flavor, no avant garde nonsense. Chips are always fresh and they refill both. The salsa refill comes from an ihop syrup pitcher, as salsa refills always should. They also understand that I'm there to eat. As a native Texan, I only go out for Tex Mex when I have a terrifying hunger and thirst that my own reasonable home cooking cannot satisfy. I may want many disparate things. I may want to describe a plate of food I dreamed about. They're cool with that here. This is not a militant "no substitutions" place. You can add whatever to whatever. Last time I was there we got so weird with it that I had to hold an à la carte plate off the table until we finished what was on it because we ran out of room. Today, my table ordered huevos rancheros, a taco salad, an enchilada plate, and a bacon cheeseburger and every single dish came out together, not from a warmer, and they were ALL really good. I do not live near this restaurant and I think about it wistfully at night all the time.

    We always enjoy Jorge's whether we eat at the restaurant, or take it home! The atmosphere is always…read morepleasant, and the staff is top notch.

San Martians have incredible gem here. We had the breakfast barbacoa and pork chop plates plus a lengua taco. First, the lengua taco came out on warm corn tortillas, and the lemgua was tender and in sliced bite siced chunks. By itself, it was pretty good - with ANY of their salsas, even better. The wife had the barbacoa taco plate: barbacoa was all meat, great tasting but not greasy. I had the pork chop plate and I i must say, it's one of the most flavorful and juicy pork chops I've had. Both the barbacoa and pork chop plate came with delicious refreid beans that had tons of flavor. The other side that came with the plates were potatoes. Therese were freshly made, soft and pillowy and nicely seasoned. You know how you know your food is os perfect? When you dont have to add salt or pepper and here, this was the case here. And let's not skip over their homemade salsa. There's at least 8 homemade salsas of varying flavors and heat level. All are outstanding and you should try them all. Even their hottest ones have so much flavor you'll want more even though your mouth may be on fire. Heat and flavor - they've perfected each and every one of their salsas. Super impressed with todays breakfast as we'd been longong for some great Mexican breakfast plates. Wont be traveling to San Antonio for breakfast anymore - thanks for saving us a trip Toma Taco!
