19 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Robinson

“Awesome ?, best I've had. Everytime we eat here it's perfect. The food the service. Recommend La Cocina highly. You won't be sorry.“

“I have to yell from the rooftop how amazing the service and food is at LA Fiesta. There is one particular person I really want to shout out also. Everytime I see her I call her AWESOME!!! Her customer service skills are spot on and she will get you right everytime. SADE that's my girl come check her out on $2 Magarita Tuesdays at the bar. As this generation says she is a whole vibe. Don't believe me? Come by for yourself especially on a Tuesday and watch my girl work and keep you satisfied. I had to shout her out just to give her roses an individual. Again people come check her outand show her some LOVE!!!“

“First time to Torchys and definitely not the last. Although I don't live or work in Waco anymore, a friend and I had lunch here on Monday. It was a "missed you" and "you've got this" for something she's facing this week. The fajitas were amazing!! Thank you!! Keep up the great everything!“

“Since Robin and her husband took over I'm very pleased way before they were owners this place was going downhill. They have turned this place into an awesome experience. This is the best Mexican place to eat from. The staff is incredibly nice and the food never falls below standards. I am definitely happy to see this place thrive. I'm always excited to come back here. Just a heads up the bean burritos are awesome“

“Scott Drew knows so you should know, this place is LEGIT! Nothing like it in places like Kentucky. Tex Mex that brings the family together for the sake of Baylor Basketball. Thank you Mi Casita for your heartfelt food and embracing booths for dining. We love you! Historical landmark“

“I went and got tamales today? Yummy!!!! She even let me try a hot one which I thought I could handle lol, she offered me water I told her I could handle it, got in the car took a bite and OMG ? THAT WAS HOT! BUT GOOD!!! ? Thanks for making awesome tamales and being so nice.“

“We had Andrea as our server. She was very friendly and personable, answered any questions we had, and knew the menu.We got the guacamole salad, chicken fajitas, and a combo plate. I forgot the name.Chips were crisp, salsa was nice with a building heat, and while the guacamole was just mashed avocados, they were perfectly ripe. Huge chunks of chicken for the fajitas. The tamales were so good as were the charro beans, refried beans, and the RICE. The rice was very tasty.The prices were extremely fair.Will absolutely return.“

“The quality is so good for the price. The staff were very friendly, especially Alexes, who chatted with me while I waited for my order! I got the I-Chee-Wa-Wa and the Green Chile Mac and Cheese and will be coming back for sure. Definitely the best place to get tacos near campus!“

“I didn't know what to get so I got Tres Amigos. After eating I really wanted to relax but while eating the server dropped off the ticket. I'd only been there 30 minutes and maybe eating for 20. So I know when you order from the drink menu sometimes you would get better service but I was on the way to work! So I put my taco into a box with my chips and went on my way to work. At home I opened up my box to eat my taco. All it was was beef in a tortilla. Kind of disappointed now. Too tired to call in and say something and its 10:06pm.“

“We came here once when it was first open, and I was not impressed. I have to say, tho, they have figured it out! We recently returned here, and everything we tried was so delicious! From the salsa to the enchiladas and on to the guacamole, so yummy! The servers are attentive, check back, and keep your tea filled. Oh, and the tea is really good, too! You won't be disappointed if you choose to eat here. You will, however, be full as a tick and still wanting to eat more! Can't wait to return...see you there!“

“This restaurant is in a building along Highway 84/Waco Drive that has served as various restaurants over the years so it's old style and not a "fancy" place. Many years ago was a mainly breakfast place called Ira's Restaurant and in the early 2000's was a local Mexican restaurant called El Colorado. They serve a full Mexican menu. The food we had was very good. I was surprised to learn there are 6 others in the State of Texas with several around Houston. We will definitely visit again.“

“This has become a staple for me and my fiance on those nights we're too busy to cook for ourselves. The chips and dips along with the regular queso are always outstanding and our usual picks of flautas and steak burrito are never incorrect. It's so nice having a spot you know is gonna be a reliable choice every time.“

“Hands down this is the best Mexican restaurant i have ever been to!! The owners are from Guadalajara and the food tastes so authentic! Our server (I didn't get his name) was so kind, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed!! We live in oklahoma but plan on coming back to waco just to visit this restaurant again!“

“Great food place! The food is tasty and the prices reasonable. It’s more of a pick-up food place rather than a stay-and-eat place.Their strong suit is their chicken package with 1 whole chicken, rice, charro beans, tortillas, grilled onion, and salsas all for $20. It feeds about 4 grown hungry men and it’s a good deal. It is ready in about 3 minutes.The chicken has a good flavor of being grilled over coal. The rice is decent. The charro beans have good flavor. The salsas are good but the green one is especially good.The taqueria has a wide range of food. They also have a rib package which is a bit pricier than the chicken but still good and tender. The pupusas are good and made on the spot so it has a bit of wait time. Their fresh waters are good and huge. Their tamales are good sized if a bit lacking in taste.There is ample parking and wheelchair accessible.Try this place it’s really good, with a wide selection, and reasonably priced.“

“I've been passing this place by ALL YEAR (about 5 times)...this time circumstances demanded that I stop...Shame on me...this is one of those roadside spots that WE ALL NEED...we got the Whole Chicken & it was as good as it smells...you can smell grilled chicken in all 4 directions for at least a block...Absolutely recommend“

“Seriously good Mexican food. Salsa & chips are great as is everything we’ve had here. Especially love the Thursday lunch special, taco Rico & a bean burrito. Their carne asada is absolutely delicious. Service is always fast & friendly. We dine here at least once a week.“

“What was good: service was professional and friendly; the atmosphere provided opportunity for conversation, always a top factor. The restaurant and restrooms were clean; again, always a top factor. Margaritas were very good and the beer was cold. The chips and salsas were very good. The grilled bass in a wine sauce was cooked perfectly and was very tasty.What was not so good: items were very under seasoned. We added salt and pepper in volume and made liberal use of the salsas to add flavor to the rice, refried beans, and cheese enchiladas. My wife's bacon wrapped shrimp was over cooked making the shrimp very tough and rubbery. Her chicken taco consisted of nothing more than chicken that had the flavor of leftover meat and a tortilla. So, some good and some bad.“

“Trujillo’s on the circle really were gracious and amazing recently when I quickly realized I had a real need for a good place to have a family together after the service of their loved one Garlene Corley Shelton. She grew up in Waco and I know she would have loved knowing we thoroughly enjoyed the staffs 110% service for all to enjoy that time here with many of her out of town loved ones and local friends as well!! ??❤️ Special thanks for the Trujillo family, ALL the staff!Parking: It’s located on a famous Waco Circle ⭕️Can be difficult and dangerous at times arriving and departureKid-friendliness: Absolutely. Sometimes we get to meet the Trujillo grandchildren. This place is family friendly for sure“

“Taylor was wonderful“
