“The train!!!! Almost couldn't eat my food cuase I was too busy watching the super cool train go around and around the restaurant. No, but seriously, this has been a staple to the corpus community for years, and anyone who has not eaten here, you're missing out on a fantastic breakfast lunch or dinners.“
“Beautiful selection and variety, excellent quality, good customer service. Prices are very reasonable and lower than places I've seen who sell lower quality products.I returned today and made my purchases. If I could fit more in the car I would! I'm bringing home gifts for family and they are excited to see their gifts!Seriously you need to see this place. The owner and her assistant are so friendly and helpful. I'll be back next time I'm in town.“
“Delicious! My wife and I ordered the tinga chicken tostadas and asado de puerco verde (pork tips) and they were very tasty! Their salsas bring a good heat and flavor to the beans and rice as well. All around very happy and plan to come back!“
“Monica's Authentic Restaurant exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. As for the food, it was nothing short of fantastic. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection.Despite its unassuming exterior, Monica's is a true hidden gem. Don't let the 'hole in the wall' appearance fool you – once inside, you're treated to an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Monica's Authentic Restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone craving delicious, authentic cuisine.“
“I got couple of chalupas they were very good. The packaging was awesome they put only beans and meat on the tortilla and the tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and sour cream were separate in the carryout dish for self application. Yummy ?Parking: There are a few parking spaces but I chose the drive thru instead.“
“As far as the service rating it's based on our server: Letty, she's awesome, very attentive and professional and friendly, we always request Letty. We have had another server and that experience was very bad, she was forgetful, took forever to bring us napkins and got our order wrong. So if you do come to eat here make sure you request Letty, she will take great care of you and make sure that your eating experience is perfect. Now as far as the food... The salsas are great, the chicken quesadillas are great when they are made correctly, there have been a couple of times that I order them, but they did not put enough cheese or chicken in the quesadillas. We have ordered a few of the other plates and they are good. Really the only reason I placed this review is because I wanted to give Letty a 5 star review for her service, she truly deserves it. Great job Letty (now we just need to get her schedule so we know when to come eat here to get great service). Otherwise the food is good as long as the consistency is constant, which on since plates it's not.“
“Always good food and great margaritas. Just be careful not to eat to much .lolParking: They got front and a large area to park in the backKid-friendliness: Definitely good my son and his girlfriend set at a table together.

“We heard about this place a year ago. finally made it back to Corpus Christi and couldn't leave Corpus before visiting Chacho's. The food was excellent. The staff was very friendly and can't wait for our next trip down. We got the Chacho's Almighty chicken fried steak with Fries smothered carne guisada and “
“Outstanding food cooked fresh to order. This visit I tried their Beef Enchiladas lunch plate. They were FANTASTIC and among the best I've ever had in the Corpus Christi area. And their frijoles (refried beans) are among the best I've had anywhere. They are homemade from scratch every day.“
“Stopped in for breakfast. Our first time here. Visiting for the weekend. My brother-in-law suggested coming. Great choice. Had the Barbacoa and egg breakfast. Delicious barbacoa, eggs done right, good beans and crispy potatoes. A wonderful meal. Our server was very attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed, and kept checking on us for coffee refills.“
“The staff is friendly, the food is sooo good! Everything comes out fresh and fast. I had the carne guisada plate(in the picture i put all that pepper on it myself, it doesn't come like that). I absolutely love the carne guisada but I will say it's not "traditional Mexican" tasting but it's good. My favorite thing is the beans though, they are the perfect consistency and taste so very good! They are open for breakfast but I have gone twice for breakfast and there was nobody there which I can't understand because the food and drinks are great,the staff are nice and the restaurant is very clean and well lit. Go try it!“

“Great 2 person staff. Food was amazing but if you wanna watch h ya waistline n arteries definitely not place for a daily meal. Flavorful and now I don't have to drive to SA for the Ramen, next best thing and in town 15mins. A must try. Also after this week Feb 3 2024 they will be Cash Only no CashApp.“
“Loved the decor. So colorful and it looked like it was all hand made/painted. I appreciated that.Staff was sweet and attentive. The atmosphere was naturally lit and it wasn't too busy for being 11 am.Food:I usually get flautas whichever Mexican restaurant I go to and I can see myself coming back for these specifically. Good size plate for a 5'2 woman. Wish there was queso fresco on top know that I'm thinking about it.Got the agua de melón which was pretty good, and not too sweet. More natural the better for me“
“We've lived in Corpus Christi for over a year now and couldn't find Mexican food we're accustomed to, especially menudo. We've had it twice now here and can honestly say it's the BEST, BEST, BEST!!!! We ordered carnitas and they were delicious. Of course the selection of sweet bread is amazing. I found my go to little hole in the wall. They're terrific.“
“my boyfriend and i love at the apartments next door and go often. we always get the same two waiters and they are oir absolute favorites. they remember our orders and are super friendly. the food always comes out AMAZING. our favorite restaurant in all of town “
“Very delici-oso fo sho!!! When I come back I’m definitely going to make sure to come get another taco!! They were fresh, hot, quick, and tasty! They didn’t stand a chance against my family’s hunger!! It’s small and quaint in the best way!! And the salsa was really good!!“
“WOW!! Anyone hungry for good food should stop by Garret’s BBQ. Brisket was so tender, so juicy, so full of flavor, NOT so peppery flavored like some places and just delicious! The bbq sauce only enhanced the great flavor we were already enjoying but you really don’t even need the sauce to enjoy this bbq. My husband suggested we try this new place on Holly Road and I’m so glad we did. We’ll definitely be back to try the ribs ?“
“Nice place to eat. Wait staff were all great. They all would come by to ask if we wanted more tea or coffee and if everything was alright. Food is good. Flour tortillas are fluffy. The parking is a bit of a minus. There is parking in the back, but not very much at all. We parked on the street. Other than that, not bad.“
“Breakfast was good. I enjoyed the chips with beans/salsa. The biscuits and gravy were a tad disappointing due to tasting like restaurant supply food. My friend enjoyed her eggs, bacon, and toast. I will definitely return due to the service and the other good choices for breakfast.“
“Food was AMAZING!!!! Alice was our waitress and was patient and kind despite our plethora of questions! With it being our first time here, the manager gave us a free dessert(cuatro leches cake) and it was sooooooooo good!!!!! Definitely worth a visit!!!!“
“Tried for the first time, and the breakfast was good, Tortillas are homemade and really good. Staff was friendly, and the waitress was attentive. Steak was a little tough and needed a little bit more seasoning, but overall, it was good.Parking: Plenty of parking available“
“Small place, big flavor. Everyone is friendly and service is great. The queso came with the free chips and salsa. I was surprised considering no one gives you anything like that for free. Portions were big and prices were very, very affordable.Parking: Enough parking. Restaurant isn't too big so if there isn't any parking, chances are there isn't a table available but you should wait because it will be worth it.“
“I cannot wait to go again the food was delicious, I seen this place on tik tok because it was Selena’s favorite and I see why, the owner was there walking around and interacting with the customers, he was the sweetest. I loved all the Selena memorabilia!!“
“By far one of the best Mexican restaurants in Corpus Christi, servers are very friendly and attentive.Con- menudo is amazing most times but sometimes is alright.Pro- their Barbacoa is amazing and not fatty/greasy.Food: 8.8Service: 10Atmosphere: 9Food Readiness: 9Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere“
“Great food. Probably the best huevos rancheros plate we've ever had. The beans, omg the bean are SOO GOOD! So much flavor! And the rancheros sauce is fantastic!Did not like that bacon or sausage is NOT offered with the meal. And the coffee cups are waaay too small. Waitress was so accommodating, always a refill!“

The salsa was just right, adding an extra kick to each bite. This spot truly hits the mark for anyone craving authentic and mouthwatering tacos!“
“Food was amazing and affordable. Small inside, no tables but bar style seating all around the perimeter indoor walls. Was a bit warm inside, they did have a fan running, but I think most people take it to go and I can understand why. Food was so good tho I know I'll be back for more. Definitely a new favorite! ??“
“We initially were hesitant to eat here because it looked more like a fast food place than a sit down restaurant (it has a drive up window), but I'm glad we took the chance. This is basic Tex-Mex but it was very good and very filling. We both had beef enchiladas and they were as cheesy and greasy as you'd imagine. We also tried the house margaritas which were fairly strong, but it was obvious they used a mixer rather than real lime juice. They tasted a lot like kool-aid! Overall, we were satisfied and would go back if we were in town again.“
“They are a food truck that sets up shop in the parking lot on Staples and Curtis Clark Dr. It's in the same plaza as Gemini Sushi Lounge and Hicks Floral shop. The employees are very friendly and enjoy their work. It was busy but they kept the orders coming out fast. They have about two tables set out if you want to eat in the parking lot instead of taking to go. What I ordered: Carne Asada Torta - The bread was a little over toasted but it is a nice size sandwich. Carne asada is okay but not great. Birria Burrito - Yummy! Birria (they use beef) is tender, savory, and flavorful. Birria Quesadilla and Al Pastor Quesadilla - Yum! The birria was better than the al pastor. They are small snack size quesadillas but also only $3! My favorite protein on the menu is the birria! Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and the three salsas they serve are all good. Heads up, they are only open for dinner starting at 6pm every night.“
“I had the Menudo and it was delicious. Even better were the prices! My wife and cousin had breakfast plates which they loved and I took a few tacos for the road of Barbacoa and Lengua and they were delicious too. It wasn't the prettiest place inside but the food and service more than made up for it. I will definitely be returning soon for some delicious Mexican Food. ??“
“Really good food, really good service, really clean place. Many choices for breakfast or lunch and there’s something for most everyone’s taste, even kids. Good flour tortillas here, no rubbery store bought stuff. Several different salsas brought to the table. Hight quality coffee and the keep your cup full and hot. Great place to eat, I recommend.“
“This place is superb. Great servers, gracious and hospitable. Superior food. Our party of two each had a Burrito.....they are HUGE and delicious! And the prices are so reasonable, only $13 including tax and tip. Unfortunately, we arrived too late to enjoy the free chips but if we ate chips, there's no way we could have eaten the Burritos. Don't forget to ask it to be smothered in their "gravy" (No, not like the gravy on your potatoes but think red sauce) and cheese. This place may not look great on the outside, the food and service are well worth it!“
“The buffet was great, I 1st. Ate there 3 yrs ago, kept thinking about about the cut up steak in red sauce hopefully returning to corpus Christi to go again, and finally arrived there hopefully it's still there I thought, and it was ! Again I ate the cut up steak, WOW !!! Still the “
“Mexican hamburgers are A1 every item on this menu is A plus you can't go wrong don't let this one pass you by don't let it given this place a try will guarantee you come back the staff is real helpful and friendly always willing to “
“Love that you can create your own stuff when it comes to things they sell for example they have a raspanieve with is shavedice with ice cream. I asked what flavors they informed me whichever icecream fruit or shaved ice flavor they have. I asked can i have a limin con pepino raspanieve so is lime ice cream lime snowcone with cucumber and of course chamoy! And they made it for me!!!! So creat that some of their Items they make their own. Im the first to order a different type of. Flavor. And is actually ?“
“I heard from friends how good the food was. The food was very good. Tried a lil bit of everything: beef fajita taco, carne guisada, and egg bacon cheese taco. They all tasted very good. The inside is one big room so you are not hiding around the corner where they forget about you. Will be going back.“
“Thank you to Norma and the rest of her employees for their service. I love getting the fresh fruit tray for my work luncheons from there. Lots of fruit for the price compared to other places. I love the watermelon agua fresca too. It's refreshing and delicious.“

“Great little taco place. Stopped here for a breakfast taco. The staff was friendly and the taco was tasty. They told me that after I had the hot sauce, I would start speaking Spanish, at least that's what another customer translated for me, lol“
“Delicious food for more than reasonable prices! The restaurant walls are super cute inside too. I had the Diablitos Rancheros - bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with jalapeno and cheese, rice, beans, and lettuce. Portion was generous for a great price, and the dish came out looking as advertised on the menu!“
“This place is unlike any other. I moved out of town and still can't find a tacos this good. I come down to corpus and my breakfast each morning is their tacos. I love their other foods as well, I normally get their enchilada plate. I've never had one bad experience. I appreciate the people who work here, they're very kind and quick to get you your order.“
“Taco aficionados, take note! El Charly in Corpus Christi crafts an authentic Tijuana-style experience with their genuine Mexican tacos. These ‘mini tacos’ embody the true street-style vibe, enclosed in freshly made tortillas. Offering an assortment of traditional meats like lengua, tripas, cabeza, and suadero, El Charly captures the essence of authentic Mexican flavors. For an unforgettable taco adventure, this spot the best in the city!“
“It is one of the top restaurants that serve great fresh barbacoa. But that's not all! Taquitos and other Mexican dishes are also served. Overall, the food is great. Has been a local favorite for years. Oh, and did I mention the homemade flour tortillas are one of the best in the city.“
“The absolute best Mexican food in Corpus Christi, yes I said it because it's true! Hands down our favorite place to go, friendly staff amazing food!Kid-friendliness: Staff is very friendly to kids and they have a kids menu and special everyday.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and access“
“I highly recommend Eddie's it's a very welcoming restaurant. They treat you like family. Very reasonable prices and delicious, mouth watering food. God ? bless Eddie's restaurant and the owners as well as all their employees. They put their heart into making their food. Love it.Parking: Parking is no hassle for me. Always packed with customers but plenty of parking. That's how good their food is that it's always packed. I have not ever had a hard time locating a parking spot.“
“Food is authentic Mexican food. Flour Tortillas are so good and the lemonade is homemade! Delicious! Breakfast all day is the best and they serve you enough. Tacos are big.Parking: Parking is a little tight, but youll find a little more on the side of the building. Also, they have camera tvs inside that show live footage of all the parking area. I like that.“
“This place was an absolute surprise to stumble across. Really good food & excellent service. Highly recommend the Mahi-Mahi Pipian, the way they cooked the fish on top of the sauce really knocked it out of the park. This place gives us another reason to visit the island more often!“
