“I recently had the opportunity to dine at Mr. Taco's and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The tacos were outstanding - each bite bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. What made the visit even more memorable was the exceptional service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcomed. If you ever find yourself in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Mr. Taco's for an amazing culinary experience. Their tacos are a must-try“
“✨Super cute decor! ?? Birria tacos are ? delicious !!!My personal favorite is their Birria melt ?. All their drinks have a cute name either after Bad Bunny or Karol G and look super tasty but my personal favorite is the cucumber lemonade. The staff is always super friendly and polite, especially Alondra! She goes out of her way to make you feel welcomed and happy.“
“Danny is the owner/cook and Steve was the cashier. They were very polite and kind. Took the time to tell me about the food. The fish tacos are amazing, especially with the creamy Cajun sauce. The cucumber lemonade was also very delicious. Not too strong, but just enough flavor. I would absolutely return here. They even have a drive-thru or can bring the food out to you if you can't leave your car. Oh it was also very fast. Like less than 5 minutes.“
“The truth is, I really love the place and the food, but the best thing is the service of some of the employees, especially Pola, Ruby and another lady from Pelo güero. Believe me, I always go to meet them and talk to them. They are super cute, super attentive in everything. I recommend going, both for the food as well as the good service that the waitresses give you too, I hope the star waitresses never leave ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Stopped to eat here on our way back home, very authentic Mexican flavor. Definitely recommend the tostada bowl for breakfast, the migas & American breakfast. Just with that I can imagine all else is great! Will recommend & stop by again. So good I forgot to take pics of the food lol. Enjoy!“
“We ventured over on a Sunday afternoon and the the food was tasty with large portions (I had the chipotle cream sauce shrimp and my wife the fried shrimp.) Mari provided wonderful service, the prices were very reasonable, and the atmosphere was comfortable. The owner Adriana went out of her way to provide excellent hospitality. We'll be back soon.“
“The tamales here are great and served hot ? as heck! Call ahead is recommended, and she only takes cash, then ring the doorbell and bam! Hot tamales. Be aware, ask for the prices...a dozen of pork was 11 bucks....Prices in reviews and photos are not updated. The tamales are great, like Gramma used to make. Highly recommended....better than Delia's.... shop local! Truly a hidden ?“
“Tacos al vapor de chicharrón & deshebrada were delicious, papa escondida not at all. Clarifying, personal taste. The waitress could have been COURTEOUS, not even a hello when she went to take the order. The only time that she visited our table again was when she brought us our order. My mom was kind by leaving her a tip. ABSOLUTELY ? recommend the tacos al vapor. I am just recommending some manners for SOME of the staff.“
“I rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled to do so after visiting. I got my order to go (Birria tacos). I waited inside, and the staff was prompt and nice. The restaurant was CLEAN, i judge by the restrooms. If restroom is dirty the kitchen is too. The food was delicious and affordable. My new go to place.“
“This place exceeded all of my expectations. Food and cocktails were spectacular!Had the Empalmes, Picanha Volcán Taco, Cauliflower Steak, Wagyu Tiradito, Snapper Ceviche, Sea Bass and Beef Rib ....and the drink of choice... El Classico... The mixology that goes into these drinks is phenomenalOh and the dessert was so delicious AND an amazing presentation...Definitely a 12/10Will be back!!“
“The coffee still tastes like coffee, not watered down. They actually give you a bowl with enough creamers. You don’t have to wave a waitress down to beg for more little creamer cups. The food is always prepped and delivered as ordered, and you actually get the portion you pay for. They have a great assortment of meal selections especially at breakfast; from Mexican to American to healthy. Also great to see a local restaurant owner that shares in the history of our city. Awesome polite and prompt staff as well, even when they are super busy.Vegetarian options: The assortment is there and wait staff will walk you through substitutions if you need.Dietary restrictions: The wait staff will walk you through it. Menu options are there. But if you’re dieting really, ahh stay home.Parking: The parking is fine. It is shared with another local, but that’s not a problem as the other place opens later. Like anything good, it fills up.“
“My husband and i came here on a date night. We chose to sit outside and we were blessed with an amazing waitress, Marianna. She had excellent customer service from the get go. We proceeded to have our dinner and we were approached by the manager, Marta. She was just such a lovely and genuine person. The food was top notch. Not only will this be our date night spot but we will definitely tell our family and friends about this location. We will become regulars. 10/10 highly recommend“
“I ate a breakfast plate. The serving size was large, and very well priced, ie: ALOT of food for a reasonable price. I was not able to finish everything. The food was very traditional Mexican breakfast and the tortillas were fresh, and hot. I would definitely go again.“
“Totally different menu.I was expecting to get regular tacos but nope!! Huge 11" Tortillas.Food tasted good and their complimentary fideo with beans was delicious.Carne Guisada had tons of cumin (not my favorite) but it was okay.I had the chile relleno and could've been "asado" a bit better.Overall, it satisfied my hunger and craving. Lots of food and for a reasonable price.“

“Fantastic service by experienced service workers keeps this place amongst the best in the state and country. We travel everywhere but the food and workers of The V make us want to come home all the time. Great Job Sophia and Juan. Keep up the great service.“
“Love this place. The food is very good. It’s not a regular steak place. This one has different cuts off meat served with un American foods. They always provide chips and salsa for appetizer. The salsa has fresh cheese and cactus. They also give fried beans too as appetizer. They have live music in the weekend. Not loud at all.“
“(Translated by Google) What a delicious thing the tacos I asked for them golden and well drained, they were delicious, they exceeded my expectations if you go to Brownsville you have to try them(Original)Que cosa más deliciosa los tacos yo los pedí dorados y bien escurridos, estaban la vdd delicioso superaron mis expectativas si van a Brownsville tienen que probarlos“
“Good sized portion of homestyle cooking, great service, and fair prices. Daily specials are great options. Wide selection on the menu. I dined with a large group. Our orders were spot on and delivered in a timely fashion. Just be forewarned that they add an extra charge to use a credit card, so be prepared to pay cash or use a debit card if you don't like paying extra fees.“

“Older restaurant is doing it right! They have no nonsense, honest to goodness, fish and shrimp plates to die for. Fried but not so fried that you taste the bottom of the pan, this is a legitimate threat to other seafood restaurants in the area. They have this down to an art and science. Along with this, they have some of the biggest glasses of sweet tea to order. Then, once you are done, you can ask for a to-go cup to take your drink with you. Previous encounters, they refilled the cup with tea, but alas, that has gone away. This writer is able to overlook this and give the restaurant a five star rating based on the food, the atmosphere (we had a genuine corrida in the middle of eating), and the service.Parking: Right off of 77 Sunshine Strip between Harlingen and San Benito, near the city limits sign.“

“We had the Matamoros bistec, poblano chicken & Cubano tortas. They were great. We did takeout but counter person was pleasant and reviewed the online order to make sure everything was correct. We were visiting from out of town, but if we are back would come again.“
“Must stop local breakfast joint with the most delicious soft hand made tortillas. Definitely tastes homemade and is authentic to this town. Their portions were generous especially for the price. I also liked that it wasn’t too busy during the week for breakfast.“
“My first time here, and definitely not my last! I was visiting from Iowa and was invited to meet family for lunch. The staff was very welcoming and hospitable. The restaurant is very clean and spacious. The food was delicious and plentiful. Our waitress, l didn’t get her name, and the rest of the staff delivered awesome customer service. The owner stopped by our table several times to check on us. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in San Benito Texas. Can’t wait to return!“
“The side tortilla de harina that came with the plate I ordered was really soft had a good homemade taste The salsa was delicious no complaints about my egg potato chorizo and refried beans Decaf coffee was fresh and hot The place was very nice quiet and cozy Great to have a chit chat A bit small but not crowded Our Waitress was very attentive kept asking if I needed more coffee or anything else good customer service“
“Some of the best food you will ever eat in South Texas. Can't find food like this anywhere else. I make the best of it when I visit from Oklahoma. Food is delicious and always hot. Friendly service and a good environment. Lemonade and the coffee are the best.“
“Never fails with how good the takeout is and how fast it’s made. They’re always busy but the food will be out within 10-15 minutes when it’s placed from the comfort of your home. My favorite thing to order are the flautas. Their burger is also good. Price is fantastic, the food looks good and tastes even better…The three raza B’s on this one.“
“Everytime we eat here it's always s great time the at home feel is awesome and the service to go with it is great the gentleman that waits on us always remembers frequent guests like myself and always greets us with a comforting familiarity. Over all 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone passing through our small town of Los Fresnos TX. Any plate you order is very well served and they are not stingy with the portions and i must recommend the ice tea.“
“(Translated by Google) The hot dogs and the order of steak tacos are very tasty???? without a doubt one of the richest hot dogs I've ever tried(Original)Los panchos y la orden de tacos de bistec están muy ricos???? sin dudar unos de los panchos más ricos que he probado“
“If your looking for great top quality Mexican food. Or just looking to spend on a budget. Then this the place for you. Actually surprised they had enough room or space to fit a couple 40 people. And prices for each individual taco is about 1.50 each. And the tacos are pretty well packed for being small street tacos. You honestly get what u pay for. I recommend.“
“Yummy mom and pop restaurant in Brownsville. Great Service and FRESH seafood. Loved the chipotle cream fish. Also got the fish relleno but not like a traditional stuffed poblano but still good. When we sat down they served us chips and salsa (EXCELLENT) and some delicious broth.“
“World class seafood. The owner had a seafood restaurant in Mexico for 50 years.The fresh grilled trout filet with garlic butter was layered with flavor. The free consume seafood soup served gratis as you sit down is remarkable. Limited English spoken here. But so worth it to point at the menu photos ...order...and wait to be blown away by the food. If you like fresh seafood at fair prices, then this is definitely the most lace for you. Most HIGHLY recommended!“
“Driving up, I thought a restaurant that is part of a hotel? First, no it isn't. Second, don't judge a book by its cover. Finally, AMAZING food! We got there at the end of breakfast, which for many restaurants means breakfast will not be up to par. That is not the case here. What a wonderful breakfast, their flour tortillas are some of the best out there. Stop by and give them a try, you will not be disappointed!“
“My second time eating here and they still serve excellent food. The wait staff is very polite and prompt. They serve free soup while you wait and free dessert. Love this place. The only con was the music. The singer was too loud but otherwise was ok.“
“Since this taqueria opened I have seen that they get a good amount of business. I decided to try them and the food was great! They're tacos are flavorful, well filled and not expensive. They have good size breakfast tacos on homemade flour tortillas too. Being here close to my mother in laws they're a good choice. Beats driving to Brownsville for good tacos.“
“(Translated by Google) Always a very good option in ? tacos, the service is good and they always serve very quickly, plus the prices are affordable.(Original)Siempre muy buena opción en ? tacos, el servicio es bueno y siempre atienden muy rápido, además que los precios son accesibles.“
“The food was great. Had the grilled chicken plate. Service was good. The only thing is there are a few puppies around the place from neighbors. I dined in on some benches they have outside and dogs came by. They don’t bother you and I didn’t mind them. But I can see some people not liking it. But the food was awesome.“
“This placed is always packed. The staff is always friendly. The food is consistent and very reasonably priced (so be sure to tip generously!) Each time we’ve gone for breakfast, we end our savory meal with a $3.25 plate of French toast. Just look at it! ??“
“I wrote my college thesis on this place, due to it being the best restaurant within 15,000 miles (yes that covers the entire world)and the topic of my college thesis was:"How good can a restaurant get? The Texi Mexi Story"This place might as well be placed on Fifth Avenue in New York City, with prices of $30 per taco, because that's what most people would be willing to pay for this place after they have tried their tacos. Thank Heavens it isn't in New York where all the pretentious foodies would be lining up around the block for what many believe to be the best tacos in Los Fresnos. The prices though... I mean you can't beat 6 dollars for a meal of several tacos, charro beans and chips and salsa, I mean (in the voice of Jimmy from South Park) come on!I come to this place quite often, and by quite often I mean several times a week. I walk in the door, the manager behind the counter gives me a quick wink (not in any weird sexual way, more like a "i'm ready to rock your tastebuds kinda way") I sit down and he automatically knows I want the fajita combo with an horchata. I sit for 5.2 minutes (the perfect amount of time for someone to wait, enough time to think about how you're currently in heaven, but not enough to think it's taking long for your food). Juicy, greasy (in a damn good way) meat on delicious tortillas covered in white cheese, avocado and your choice of red or green salsa. Damn! You've arrived my friends... you've arrived.Anyway to top off my review, I got a 110/100 on my college thesis, you know why? My professor thought it was a dumb topic, gave me a 68/100, and then drove all the way from Idaho to the valley to try these tacos, as soon as he took that first bite, he changed it to 110%. True story y'all.2020 COVID19 edit:These guys are still churning out delicious food to-go at an outrageous pace. Keep them chugging along and patronize them. They deserve it.2021 Edit:KEEP THEM GOING! Best food in Los Fresnos.2022 Edit:I had to go to the hospital because I went into a delicious coma after eating here on 1/7/20222023 Edit:Keeping prices reasonable despite inflation. Love them the same as when they first opened. Writing this update from Taiwan and got some serious horchata withdrawals.2023 Thanksgiving Edit:Supposedly Google removed my review for some reason, updating it to make sure it’s visible still“
“I had coffee and the barbacoa for breakfast.Fried potatoes , barbacoa, refried beans, onions, cilantro and corn tortillas with a salsa ( I thought the salsa was to waterier but it tasted perfect. Everything was fresh and delicious. The waiter was friendly .“
“It's not flashy but it's good. Prices were very reasonable. The servers were nice and made our lunch even more enjoyable. I had Carne Guisada which was very tasty and I tried one of their barbacoa Gorditas, which was really good too. Their homemade flour tortillas are huge and delicious. If in the area we will definitely go back.“
“This place had good salsa, and the entire meal was delicious through and through. Order the eggs special. My wife got the chilaquiles. I will definitely be returning. We ordered two plates, two drinks, and a biscuit, all for like 30 bucks! Very delicious and very worth the trip. Come through. It's like terras or morning glory without the hype or high prices.“
“One of the best Mexicans Restaurants I've ever been to. The food is so delicious ? the place is clean. I usually come here for breakfast and I'm always satisfied. The Machado con huevo a la Mexican is soooooo good!! Love it! I've also had papas con huevo and chorizo and I request my beans to be refried they taste better. The tortillas de harina are huge and taste amazing.“
“Well, it was my first time going and was not expecting much. Though when I entered the restaurant, it's was so homey, and cute. The decor made you think like your transported back to your mom's house. The food was super delicious aswell. Definitely recommend the buffet they have from 11:30am to 3pm. Good small place.Parking: It's a small parking lot, so when it gets full, you have to invent your own parking.“
“Our fave place for casual lunch. This is our first time at this location. We are regulars at the Harlingen location. Definitely did not disappoint- we always go for tripa tacos, Ribeye plate and cucumber lemonade. Always satisfying. Great, nice and attentive server.“
“Tapias Cafe has the best Tortillas! to the Tortilla makers! The staff is wonderful and So Sweet! Everytime I go there I feel right at home!Kid-friendliness: The wonderful waiter always tries his hardest to accommodate all the families! You are doing a Great Job!“
“Everything about this place has that Original Grandmother (mi abuelita) back home, home made,, taste.They're by far the very best in Barbacoa.And I gotta say their Tamales, Are probably better than DELIA'S.(But that's just my opinion)Their tortillas, tostadas, salsa, and everything else in between is always on point.They never disappoint.Whenever you're in town, make a note of it to stop by. You won't regret it.“
