“ Finally found a decent place to eat in this town. Third time this week trying different Mexican restaurants and Taqueria Mexico was the top spot by a long shot. First off they have some great lunch specials. $9 and you get an entere with rice and beans. The beans had a great flavor. I also ordered two tacos just to try them out. The asada taco was delicious with the meat having a good marinade. Carne guisada also on point. Will definitely return on my next visit. ”
“ This restaurant is the one my daughter and I go to on Sundays after church for breakfast. She loves the omelet breakfast. They went to another restaurant and was told that they couldn't make her breakfast because it was 3 minutes after 12p. She was so upset and crying. I called here and they said they could do it for her. I know they are not obligated to accommodate certain things, but just the fact that they took the time to, was amazing! She was very happy. Thank you. ”
“ I’ve only gotten delivery from this place hope one day I can experience the atmosphere of this place. I have ordered twice from here and both times were amazing. I love the shrimp tacos and the tripa taco. The kids meals are also more than enough which is what I like ! I love all their food and I’ll continue to try different items each time ”
“ Wife and I really enjoyed it there. The food was really good but the chips and salsa could use an upgrade, great variety of alcoholic drinks but the beer selection was pretty low. Overall good food and great atmosphere ”
“ Simply put this is my favourite bar in the southside since I was able to drink at 21 lol no frills no fancy bullshit just good drinks from a good bartender! ”
