The 38 best spots for queso in Waco

I don’t usually like writing bad reviews, but we were in a rush and stopped in here for lunch. The service was fine, but the food was terrible and bland. I love seafood, but the camerones tasted so fishy and inedible that I couldn’t even finish it. The rice and vegetables had no seasoning and even salt and pepper couldn’t fix it. I had a small bite of each of my plate and left it untouched after. We really should’ve complained but we were in a rush and didn’t think of it until afterwards. Even if they coped my meal I don’t think I’d give the food another try.

If you find yourself wandering through Waco craving Mexican food with a polished edge, Hecho en Waco looks the part: modern ambiance, stylish lighting, and a menu that hints at ambition. But a recent visit proved that while the presentation is strong, the flavor journey might leave you more inspired by the chips than the entrée. I ordered Emilio’s Salmon, a plate that sounds like a bold statement: adobo-glazed salmon topped with grilled shrimp, laid on a bed of rice with charred vegetables. It took about 25 minutes to arrive, which set expectations high — anticipation builds appetite. Unfortunately, the rice arrived cold, and the salmon was slightly overcooked. It started promising, with a bit of adobo heat on the crust, but quickly turned one-note as I worked through it. The grilled shrimp were small, and while nicely charred, they didn’t bring much to the plate beyond decoration. The vegetables were fine — just that. Not crisp, not juicy, just… okay. The real surprise? The chips, bean dip, and salsa. Not exaggerating — that trio stole the show. The chips were thicker than average but somehow still airy, with that aerated crunch that keeps you going back without regret. The bean dip was rich and satisfying, and the salsa carried a depth of spice and flavor that stood out in contrast to the more muted main course. I paired the meal with a jalapeño margarita, which was decent — citrus-forward with a mild kick — but not something I’d write home about. Still, it complemented the chips and salsa well, especially if you’re showing up during happy hour (3–6 PM, Mon–Fri) when appetizers and margaritas are half off. That’s a solid deal and, frankly, a smart way to enjoy this place. Service was polite but not especially present. With a delay like that on the entrée, a little table-side check-in would’ve gone a long way. The atmosphere during the week is relaxed. Moody walls, warm Edison bulbs, and a touch of Mexican decor give it a modern cantina feel without being loud or busy. Ideal for a mellow lunch or a casual margarita meet-up. Final Verdict: Hecho en Waco is worth visiting — but don’t come starving. The entrées are hit or miss, but the chips, salsa, and bean dip are strong enough to carry a happy hour. If you’re here to sip, snack, and settle into the vibe, you’ll leave satisfied. Just don’t expect culinary fireworks on every plate. Go for the chips. Stay for the salsa. And if it’s between 3–6 PM? That’s the sweet spot.

Delicious food, excellent service, charming dining rooms. This cute little restaurant was just what we needed for lunch. It's bright and airy with comfortable seating and two separate outdoor seating areas. We felt very welcome and enjoyed the food. We were offered sturdy corn chips with salsa and bean dip ahead of our meal. We selected Che's Tacos and the D.F. chicken enchiladas for our meal. Both were delicious. The brightness of the pickled onions and fresh avocado on the carnitas corn tacos was a perfectly refreshing contrast. Definitely would eat here again when in Waco.

This food is just ok. The service is okay, and the food is alright I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here. The chips are real good the salads is alright and the beans taste like they come from a can. I got the green enchiladas they were alright nothing really special about this place. The carnitas were good but nothing out of the ordinary.

Fun Mexican food. Great margaritas-50% off during happy hour! Tortillas are advertised as home made but unfortunately are not.

We ordered the street tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas. All dishes were very good and a lot of food! The wait staff were very attentive. The restaurant is attractively decorated. We even love the logo in blue and white. Highly recommend.

I have been here a few times. Service is good. Friendly and professional. Don't love the chips and queso, but their salsa is good. I had the Asada Street tacos. Came with cilantro, onion, salsa, and Charro beans. The meat was seasoned pretty good and the corn tortillas were good. Drinks are pretty good too.

First time visit here while I was in Austin. The atmosphere was quaint and cute. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The server was a wonderful young lady and very friendly! The best thing we ate was the appetizer of maple bacon & deviled eggs... absolutely hands down the BEST 👌 10 OUT OF 10! The other food we got was good but the eggs and bacon app was the show!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Magnolia Table is truly a special experience from start to finish! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with that signature Magnolia charm that makes you feel right at home. The staff was attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The biscuits and strawberry butter are a must-try, and every dish we ordered felt like it was made with care and attention to detail. Portions were generous, and everything came out hot and delicious. What really stood out was how everything—from the décor to the menu—felt thoughtful and intentional. It’s not just a place to eat, it’s an experience that leaves you smiling long after you leave. I highly recommend Magnolia Table to anyone visiting Waco. Whether it’s breakfast with family or brunch with friends, this is the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again.

Definitely make a reservation! My son ordered Jo's crunchy French toast with over easy eggs and bacon, my sister and I ordered the Farm house breakfast and we had coffee. Everything was SO good. The French toast was the favorite. The bacon is very good too. We were seated at 10:20 am, and our reservation was at 10:30 am today. Service was very good and the food was delicious! We loved the atmosphere! The plant boxes everywhere were very nice. The restrooms were very clean and they had an attendant in there to keep it clean. We appreciated that there wasn't music playing in the background. You could just hear the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant and the conversations of people enjoying a meal together. We will make sure Magnolia Table is part of our annual trip to Silobration!

Came here for the first time for a quick brunch, and also because I was curious about this place I watched on Fixer Upper years ago. Perhaps because it was a Tuesday, it was very easy to make a 12.30pm reservation last minute. Still, the place was full when I got there, and I felt lucky to find a spot right away in the parking lot. Upon entering, I found the place quite large and bright, although the hostess could be a bit more welcoming to guests. Once seated, service and food came quickly, and my server was excellent. I ordered the avocado toast with a poached egg, and a pumpkin spiced latte with soy milk. Perhaps paying $16.50 for one slice of toast with no sides was a bit expensive, I was pleasantly surprised that it was super tasty, and the sourdough bread was nice and soft, just the way I liked it. The pumpkin spiced latte was a bit too sweet for me, but the flavor was good. All in all, it was a very nice experience and I would certainly recommend this place for brunch.

Beautiful restaurant! The staff was amazing! Food was good, but not exactly that "next level" I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, it was good, and I would go back. I guess with all the hype I was expecting more. But overall its an awesome dining experience. I suggest reservations. It was packed when we arrived and the seated us immediately.

Here in Waco with my daughter for the weekend and we planned dinner here, I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and our waitress was amazing, exception service. We had the chicken biscuit sliders for our appetizer and it did not disappoint, I ordered the steak frites but subbed the blue cheese sauce for the chimichurri sauce and also subbed the fries for the mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were a ok, my steak was unevenly cooked (I like medium rare) and a bit chewy/tough, but I'm a hard critic when it comes to steak, the chimichurri sauce was amazing!! My daughter had the bucatini pasta and that was perfect! Overall food and service was good I would definitely come back but I would just choose a different main entree! very good, however

Cannot say enough positive words about Magnolia Table. Now folks, Magnolia Table, and the Silos including Magnolia Market have come to be quite the destinations in Waco, and we knew that going in. So, we made reservatioons at Magnolia Table for 2:00pm on a weekday. When we arrived about 15 minutes early we were seated within 5 minutes. Had a VERY pleasant server. We ordered the Breakfast Sandwich (Her) and I had the French Toast Crunch. Photos of both attached. Both meals were EXCELLENT. Our only complaints (an observation more than complaint) was that the portions were HUGE. My wife didn't fininsh her side of potatoes, and I really struggled with my French Toast. The couple next to us (had a nice chat with them during the meal) left 1/2 their food on the plates. So, 5 stars for Magnolia Table. The place was spotless, waitress was very pleasant, food was excellent, and restrooms were tidy. Like I said, make reservations well in advance if possible, and yeah ... you'll likely be dining in a full restaurant.

We came at 7:45 and half the restaurant was empty. We asked for a table for 6 - 2 of the party was here while the remaining were in another car on their way. The hostesses rudely stated, “oh we can’t seat you until your entire party arrives.” There was no wait. We even stated that we would be ordering appetizers and drinks upon seating for 6.. 3 of the hostesses were quick to chime in. We were not arguing or being disrespectful. We were trying to understand and express our intent. The sign states “we will not seat incomplete parties on a wait.” Again, there was no wait. If your policy is going to change based on who is working the host stand, then I would suggest having a clearer policy or making sure your entire staff understands the policy. We have been decades long customers of Ninfa’s and have never been treated so disrespectfully and disregarded. As I’m sitting here writing this.. there is a group of 6 wait staff just hanging out behind the host stand. Great way to lose customers and money.

We visited Ninfa’s for lunch because it was directly across the street from the Waco Convention Center. I think we all ordered a lunch plate. It was a lot of food! I love the decor of the restaurant.

Great atmosphere, awesome service, tasty food! I had the shrimp stuffed jalapeno popper thingies and the best advice I can give is order four instead of two! Then I had the La bonita, a great sampling of a chicken enchilada, chile relleno and a beef taco. My only disappointment is I am too full to try the apple empanadas!

Lunch with friends. Ninfa’s is a tried & true favorite. Festive atmosphere, good service, delicious enchiladas. The historic building is clean and inviting highly recommend Ninfa’s.

Tory at Ninfa’s in Waco, Tx was outstanding. She brought our drinks before we ever had to ask, stayed on top of everything, and delivered the best service we’ve had at any restaurant so far. The food was delicious, but the service was on another level entirely. This is real Mexican food, not the fake stuff, and this place is now our go-to spot. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be making reservations—and asking specifically for Tory. If you're looking for greatness in both quality food and top-tier service, Ninfa’s is the place to be.

To start out I am usually not big on Mexican food but Ninfa's changed all that.Jman our awesome waiter not only delivered great service but also great reccomendations on drinks. I had to go twice while I was on my trip. I love the food, the drinks and the amazing atmosphere and staff. Now I have a favorite Mexican restaraunt and favorite waiter that we will try to get every time. Thank you so much Jman & Twila for making my visits great!!!!

Kris was our server and did a great job taking care of us. I had the 2 cheese enchiladas and beef taco platter. My wife had the vegetable fajitas. First time here. Our food was amazing and hot. Tito the manager came out and checked on us. Great restaurant.

I r heard great things about this place and was encouraged to stop here should I ever come back to Waco. I have to say it was worth it. The appetizers were amazing. Onion Rings, Fried Pickles and Chicken Fried Steak is very delicious. I too would highly recommend this place. I know there may be a wait but the food and service is good.

What a surprise! I have never been here before and what an amazing first experience! Chicken Fried Steak was superb! Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! Cream gravy poured over that and my garlic mashed potatoes next to some green beans! Heaven! I added a side of broccoli and rice casserole which was the best I’ve ever had and apparently a customer favorite. Rolls and cornbread, yum! Peach Cobbler and two scoops of ice cream closed this one out! Best meal I’ve had in Waco, by far. Stephanie was my server. She was amazing and never let me be in need. Give that gal a raise! So glad I found this place! 😋

A Waco classic meet-up for reliable food, simple drinks, and a fun, relaxed atmosphere. I had the spinach salad with chicken and it was excellent! Well seasoned chicken over fresh spinach with bacon, mushrooms, and purple onion. I had ranch and balsamic served on the side. Perfect blend of flavors and a hearty serving size. Hubby had the crazy wings-chicken breast with cheese and a slice of pickled jalapeño inside, all neatly wrapped in bacon! Served fresh with ranch for dipping. (The chicken could have used a little seasoning before being wrapped up, just to bring more flavors, but it was still tasty.) Food was served quickly. Server was friendly. We went on a Tuesday night and there was no wait! They have a large menu to satisfy anything you might be craving. Definitely stop by next time you are in town. Just a couple blocks off I-35.

George’s is our tried-and-true spot whenever we head to a Baylor game! We’ve been coming here since 2000, and it’s become a family tradition that my wife and daughters absolutely love. The food never disappoints, the atmosphere is always welcoming, and those schooners of ice-cold beer are clutch every single time. Consistently great and always a highlight of our trips to Waco!

Recommended by a local friend, we were not disappointed at this restaurant! Great, friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Wide variety of items on the menu and VERY AFFORDABLE - we are already planning what we'll have on our return visit! 😀 my wife settled on the Cry Baby Burger w onion rings, and I on the lunch special Chicken Fried Steak. I have to say, the onion rings were probably some of the best we've had. She loved the burger and the homemade jalapeño bun. I thought the green beans were also tops on my list, and the CFS breading was just as tasty as the breading on those onion rings. However, the meat was about 80% the size of the breading. It was still so tasty it was good by itself! The gravy was nothing special, though. I wish it was homemade, but it tastes like a generic powder mix. Creamy, but not much flavor. All in all, this is a wonderful place, with the managers walking around greeting customers and attentive servers. We'll definitely be back ! - UPDATE: We're back again, and everything was still sooo delicious! Nephew's Chicken was my attempt at a "lighter" dish (which it was!). The mixed veggies were cooked to perfection! My daughter's Steak Finger's from the kids menu were an awesome deal! That breading is out of this world! And the fried mushrooms probably the best we've had. Once again, thank you for another great meal and such great value! 🍻❤️👍

The food here is great, but I wanted some of their amazing onion rings to munch on for my drive to Ft Worth. I walked in to order, and it took sooooooooo long to get them. I literally waited 25 minutes. They also have some t-shirts for sale in the front waiting area, I think I memorized them all waiting. Lol Maybe ordering ahead is a better option, because they were not even busy inside and like 4 people were standing up front chatting. But, the rings were super delicious as always. A full order can feed a lot of folks. The stars are for the food only, not the service but I know the front has nothing to do with the cook time.

Onion rings, chicken fried steak, broccoli salad, and rolls were very good. I did not care for the fish, cole slaw, nor the burnt sweet potatoes.

Gem of a place. The food was delicious. Their buttermilk biscuits are the best I've ever had...even more than those at Magnolia Table. The staff is so friendly. Their little store in the main entrance area is FUN, but if you schedule your time there right, you can visit and enjoy all the Homestead village shops and atmosphere. Worth the time. I recommend a reservation.

Well that was quite the incredible accidental discovery. On our autumn road trip getaway to San Antonio, we were looking for lunch outside Waco. My wife ran a Google search for "restaurants near me" and in the top of the list was Homestead Cafe. We were on I35 so it wasn't exactly "near" but the drive through the country was worth a few miles. The cafe is the heart of a beautiful craft community. The staff was wonderful. The atmosphere is warm and rustic. My wife enjoyed the wagu burger and my the wagu brisket tacos we among the best I have ever savored. Best of all, a classic car rally had made a stop here. Wow!

Cafe Homestead has amazing guacamole and salsa. Everything is mostly made in house or locally sourced. The atmosphere is family friendly and the community around is perfect to explore. I come down from DFW at least once a year at least just to eat here. The service is fantastic, and today Jessica was our server who kept that stellar service going. I recommend making a reservation and giving yourself time to park and walk around the grounds as it’s always busy.

We had such a great experience at Cafe Homestead! The food was absolutely amazing — everything was fresh and full of flavor. The service was perfect from start to finish, and the staff made us feel so welcome. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has such a cozy, inviting atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

I finally made my way to Cafe Homestead and it was a true delight. My waiter, Brandon, was very kind and knowledgeable of the menu items to select for me a good choice. I chose the Sriacha burger, fries and the corn fritters with a Lemonade Peach tea. The food was absolutely delicious. The inside of the restaurant is warm and welcoming and not at all noisy. So my dining experience was quite enjoyable, up until a young lady came over and begin spraying some sort of cleaning agent to prepare the tables for the next guest. I've come to notice this trend being practiced at several mainstream restaurants and for me personally, it is annoying to be subjected to smelling chemicals and spray being aerialized around guests who are eating. This is why I lowered my rating from 5 to a 4 star because of this annoying trend. Would I recommend this restaurant, yes. Would I return for the good food, yes. But I hope that management after reading this review will be mindful to their cleaning practices around its paying guest because I do not care to see chemicals being sprayed around while I'm trying to enjoy my meal.

We last visited Cafe Homestead in the Fall of 2022 before the original restaurant burned down. When planning another trip to Waco for my daughter's birthday, we read the story about the unfortunate situation, but we were very glad to hear about the rebuilding of the facility. 18 weeks from the time it burned down to coming back online is nothing short of amazing. This trip was not unlike the last, in that the food, service and overall experience were simply fantastic. I had the Chicken Fried Steak, which continues to be the best I've ever had. All four of us were stuffed and quite satisfied after our meal. Next time we plan on spending more time exploring the area shops and activities. Highly Recommend!

Hearty great food prepared from scratch like Grandma used to make! The bestest salads! The ranch dressing is just awesome. Desserts made from scratch are soooo good! Even the tea is just fantastic! Get the peach tea or Cream Earl Gray in cooler weather. Friendliest, most polite staff. Beautiful building with lots of handcrafted touches. So much fun shopping around the restaurant whilst you wait! One of our favorite places!

Fun retro diner with 50s car theme and candy colored leather booths. Their menu varies a bit between the week and Sunday but they're consistent with making Caesar salad table side and providing family style vegetable side dishes for the table. I especially enjoyed the chicken breast and creamed corn. The have booth, table, and bar seating in a large inside dining room as well as a few umbrella tables outside. There is street parking on surrounding blocks.

Great food! Service was a little lacking. Very cool inside!

We headed here after visiting the Dr Pepper museum. We (3 seniors, 3 adults and our grandson) were greeted by the owner who took us straight to a table for 7. Our server was very friendly and efficient. The food was great and everyone got something they enjoyed. On our experience we would highly recommend. See the additional part regarding kid friendliness below.

Genuinely worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. I am a 19 year old college student and they definitely took advantage of it. We went on a Sunday, and they have a different menu on Sunday. My sister and I asked to split an $18 chicken tender meal and the waitress said sure. Our bill ended up being $33 and we asked why. They had charged us for a random “veggie plate” and said anyone who eats has to be charged. We said we understood, but we split a meal. I only had a singular chicken tender and they charged us an addition $15. When we asked what the veggie plate was they couldn’t explain it to us. They just said they had to charge us for extra since we both ate food and it was policy. Both the manager and waitress were very rude to us and acted like we were dumb just for asking why they charged us. The manger continued to repeat “it’s on the menu sweetie just look at the menu.” So we looked at the menu after we left, and it wasn’t on the menu! I really feel like we were taken advantage of as young girls because we weren’t great at standing up for ourselves. The waitress also accidentally brought out an extra drink and I told her I would take it if she was just going to dump it, and they ended up charging us for that as well. They took it off very belligerently after this whole ordeal and acted like they did us a favor. Overall food was not amazing for the price, waitress and manager were pretty rude, and they only care about the money.

Place was awesome and the food was delicious. The only thing that kinda worried me is the parking situation. But everything about this place is perfect!

I recently visited Jake’s Texas Teahouse and tried a few of their offerings. The atmosphere is really charming, and the service was excellent—friendly and attentive throughout our meal. As for the food, I had the chicken fried steak with fries and fried okra. While the sides were tasty, the chicken fried steak wasn’t quite my favorite. I felt the gravy could use a little more flavor to complement the dish. On the bright side, I also had the Cadillac Melt with a Caesar salad, and it was pretty good! However, a touch of salt and pepper would have made it even better. The decor is cozy and nostalgic, filled with classic touches that create a welcoming, throwback vibe. It’s a great spot for families with kids and anyone who enjoys taking in some old-school charm while they dine. Overall, the dining experience was enjoyable thanks to the warm service and great atmosphere. I’m sure with a few small tweaks to the seasoning, this place will be even better!

I've visited a few local restaurants in Waco, and all of them were really good, I went here for lunch to see if I could keep up that streak, and this restaurant surely didn't break it. Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Me and my parents got rather basic meals, but even then, they were all really good. I recommend trying their more interesting foods though, I'm sure those are even better. I got the BLT, my mom got the regular burger, and my dad got a chicken sandwich, all came with a side of fries, for my meal I added some watermelon along with my side of fries as well. Everything tasted really fresh and was packed with flavor. The buns were toasted perfectly along with the meat, and the mayo and condiments were really good as well. My watermelon was pretty good too, I was expecting an average watermelon, but the freshness and the nice balance of sweetness and flavor made it a little extra special. The only thing I didn't enjoy as much were the fries. They were a little mushy but had a home style taste. I appreciated that it wasn't loaded with salt too, but I would've liked more seasoning on it. It's not enough to bring it down a star because I enjoyed it overall, including the meals. Definitely recommend the food. Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The waiters were nice and consistently checked up on us to see how we liked the food or if we needed anything else. It wasn't anything special, but it was great overall. The food came out pretty quickly, and we spent about 30 minutes in the restaurant, great service overall and there weren't any major problems Atmosphere ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I think an atmosphere deserves five stars when it's not just good, but great, and special in a way. This place had so much old fashioned detail and there was a lot to look at while you sat down. Something else I thought was neat was that there were notes inside the crevices in the brick wall of the restaurant. They each had a message inside to read and was something I distracted myself with while I waited for my food. Another cool detail was that the food was served in hubcaps, you can't tell with my pictures, since it was covered in food and was shown on the bottom of the plate. Overall, really awesome atmosphere and it wasn't too cramped either. I was really satisfied with this place overall. The atmosphere and the food is what made this place stand out among the rest. I wanted to try their pies but ended up being too full. That's something else this place is known for apparently. Props to the owner for a great restaurant!

I never make reviews on places but this is terrible. The renewed menu items are terrible, all of the food came out room temp not even warm. The server was awesome! But the food was a nightmare to say the least. Got the spicy chicken and mac and cheese and 90% of the chicken was breading. What chicken was there was probably 1/6 of an actual chicken breast that was clearly hammered flat to look bigger. Paid 70$ for me and my girlfriend to eat here and left upset on how bad the food here was. We also got the French onion soups and it looked absolutely sad and tasted as bad as it looked. 10/10 do NOT recommend the food here

The nachos were super large. We couldn't finish them. Then, the chicken wings I ordered tasted a bit dry. The jalapeno poppers I got separately were the best, and the Blue Moon beer was really good.

Great food. We got there late, had to sit in the bar area. Lots of table space without actually sitting at the bar. Overall very pleased

Walked in great atmosphere. However took several minutes for the hostess to even acknowledge us. She then had to find menus. The table was sticky. Was informed of our waiter and he would be by to get orders. Waiter finally came by to acknowledge us about 10 minutes later. Took drink order (beer on tap and a double shot, no mixed drinks) and a pop. Came back about 10 minutes later with pop and water said bar tender is still "working on our drinks" beer came out warm. Took order for food and that was the last time we saw our waiter till we asked for the check. Food was brought out by another waitress. Ordered the Peanut butter bacon burger and tots, friend got 10 wings and fries. All the food was room temp at best. The fries looked limp and the wings were dried out. It was like watching someone eat beef jerky. My tots were cold and greasy like they had sat, not even under a warmer. The waiter FINALLY acknowledged us when we asked for the check and asked if everything was ok. We told him no, the beer was warm and the food was cold. He said "sorry about that" and that was it. when he brought the check he stood and waited for my friend to pull out his card... was the most we saw the waiter. Won't be back. Poor food and service. Was super disappointed.

Our waitress was very friendly and upbeat. The food was really good! Really cool place to check out!

We picked a busy weekend to come here. It was Baylor move in weekend AND a sold out concert that brought 40,000 people into Waco. Understandably the wait was long. Colin came in on his day off and was hosting AND serving a large section. As a host he kept us informed as to the wait time and the reason. Once seated his attention to our party of 6 was prompt and transparent. The food was great and the service was better. Colin encouraged us to take the wait and his service made it worth it. Thank you Colin.

Our table ordered a margarita, not sure what came out. Sugar water and tequila? I orders bone in wings and got boneless. Food wasn't hot, just over room temp. Wings were just meh tasting. Sever had a good attitude and did a good job thou. Overall, wouldn't eat there again

We came here on a Thursday night of Baylor graduation weekend. It was packed. Luckily there was plenty of parking. We only had 3 people so we did not have to wait even though there were larger groups waiting. Restaurant was clean with some cool decor. The service was good. Our waitress kept checking on us even though it was extremely busy. The food was good and in my opinion inexpensive. Starter chips and sauces upon request. I had the Elvis Presley Memorial Combo. It had a little bit of everything. I was unable to completely finish my plate, which is a rare occurrence. It might have been because of all the delicious chips I ate before it came out. I took the rest with me and heated the next day. Definitely a good experience.

Fun Atmosphere, Flavorful Fajitas, and Margaritas Worth Coming Back For ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chuy’s never disappoints when it comes to fun vibes, bold flavors, and a Tex-Mex experience that feels like a little fiesta every time. We stopped in for dinner, and everything from the service to the drinks hit the mark. I went with the chicken fajitas, and they came out sizzling just the way they should—hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, with perfectly grilled onions and peppers. Wrap all that up in a warm tortilla with some of their house-made guac and boom—you’ve got a party on your plate. And speaking of parties, their house margarita is no joke. It was smooth, strong, and refreshing with that just-right balance of citrus and tequila. Definitely one of the better house margs I’ve had in a while. My wife ordered the cheese enchiladas, and she was all smiles from the first bite. The enchilada sauce had a rich, smoky flavor that brought the whole dish together, and she raved about the creamy, melty cheese inside. Her strawberry margarita was fruity, fresh, and not overly sweet—just how she likes it. The whole experience had that signature Chuy’s charm—colorful decor, upbeat energy, and a staff that genuinely seems to enjoy making sure you have a good time. Whether you’re craving sizzling fajitas, cheesy comfort food, or just a great margarita with your better half, Chuy’s delivers. We’ll definitely be back for round two (and probably round three). Highly recommend!

“Overfed and Underwhelmed: My Chuy’s Waco Experience” When you walk into a restaurant, the welcome sets the tone. At Chuy’s in Waco, that opening note fell flat. I was greeted not with hospitality but with a finger point — “take that one over there.” It’s a small thing, but it frames the whole meal. Restaurants aren’t just about food; they’re about how people feel when they sit down. Chips and salsa landed quickly, and I’ll give credit where it’s due: the chips were whisper-thin, crunchy, and almost weightless, the kind of chip that shatters between your teeth. A perfect vehicle for dips. The green salsa (creamy jalapeño, as I later recalled) was bright and flavorful, though it arrived sloppily streaked on the bowl’s rim. That lack of wipe-down before hitting the table summed up a service style that felt hurried and inattentive. The red salsa? Uneventful. Thin, watery, and missing the spark of heat or depth of flavor you expect at a Tex-Mex table. The appetizer — Fajita Chicken Nachos, listed as “Ponchos” — was both the high point and the downfall of the meal. Piled high with cheese, guacamole, jalapeños, pico de gallo, and smoky chicken, the plate looked like a Tex-Mex parade. And to be fair, it tasted good. But here’s the catch: this “appetizer” could feed two people comfortably. As a solo diner, it left me overwhelmed. This is where portion control matters. A fine-dining kitchen knows when to scale down. Chuy’s, for all its color and kitsch, doesn’t seem interested in balance — they lean on abundance as their calling card. I had planned to order an entrée, but there was no way. The Ponchos were too much. I pivoted instead to dessert: Tres Leches cake. Again, size ruled the day. The slice was huge, swimming in sweet milk, drizzled with caramel, and topped with strawberries. It looked the part and tasted fine — moist, rich, traditional. But after a mountain of nachos, it became too much of too much. Sometimes indulgence needs restraint to really shine. To drink, I chose the Coconut Mojito. Fresh mint, lime, and coconut promised tropical refreshment, and it looked crisp in the glass. But flavor-wise, it never transcended. It was fine — but didn’t taste crafted with the hand of a mixologist. The service echoed the theme: functional but uninspired. My server, Sean, delivered food without energy, brought the check before I’d ordered dessert, and never once suggested an add-on or upsell. In another context, that restraint might be appreciated, but here it felt more like disengagement. The décor leaned into Chuy’s trademark quirk: walls crowded with chihuahua artwork. Some diners find it playful; I found it more distracting than charming. Combined with the lunchtime lull and a lack of warmth in the room, the vibe just didn’t pull me in. At the end, I tally a mixed experience. The Ponchos were tasty, the chips light, the creamy jalapeño dip memorable. But portion sizes bulldozed subtlety, the service lacked spark, and the overall hospitality felt half-hearted. A restaurant’s response to reviews often shows how much they value guests. A glance at Google reveals silence from management — a telling detail. Chuy’s has its loyal fans, and I understand why. Big plates, bold toppings, and colorful walls make an impression. But for me, it never rose above “okay.” Not bad, not terrible, just not somewhere I’d hurry back. I’ll give it four stars, and that’s generous — carried mainly by those fajita chicken Ponchos.

We loved Thomas, the bartender! Great atmosphere. Love the Elvis shrine. Wish they had MORE Elvis throughout the establishment.

I approached the host for a table for me and my husband. The host, named Emma, in Waco, TX, told me to button up my top, claiming it was a kid-friendly establishment. For context, I was wearing a button-up shirt with only the first button undone, showing a small part of my upper chest and lower abdomen. I told her I would not button it up and asked why I needed to. I also requested to see the policy or dress code that stated my outfit was inappropriate. She then tried to embarrass me in front of her coworkers and other guests, which was completely uncalled for. Thankfully, I didn’t let her behavior get to mei refused and was seated to my table .The manager later came to our table, served our food, and didn’t say a word about my outfit. I’m extremely upset by how unprofessional she was clearly intimidated! Jealousy is so ugly take care Emma !

We used to go to the original in Austin. Definitely not as good as back then. Chips used to be homemade and thin but now just bagged style chips. Definitely has a different style to tex-mex but many good items worth trying like the steak burrito, flaunts, and my favorite the crispy tacos and the Mexi Cobb salad. Anything and everything with creamy jalapeño sauce. Enchiladas are not not my style here. Prices are fair.

PEDRO YOU ARE AMAZING! I have never had such a great experience at a restaurant before like this. Pedro was fast and accurate with our entire order, so kind to our kids! Our drinks were never empty, our chip basket stayed full and so did the dip. The recommendations he gave were amazing and just what we were wanting. We want to thank you Pedro, you don’t have many waiters/waitresses like him often! I hope you only succeed in life because you deserve it!

Tonight was our first time here and this place is a gold mine. From the initial chips and salsa to the service (our server was Ciera and she took such good care of us), to the special of the day (we both had the chicken enchiladas) everything was so good. Food was hot and fresh and delicious. The beans were so good and the flour tortillas were 🤌. We will 100% absolutely be back.

We enjoy the chicken fajita enchiladas so much. And the birria tacos stay moist and juicy if you don't eat them the day you order them. The salsa is always a little disappointing surprisingly. It always tastes a little rancid somehow. Not my favorite. Everything else is always on point though, and I don't think they've ever messed up my delivery order. Thanks for being on DoorDash! What a God send!

I did not like this restaurant. The tortilla soup was served luke warm and was mostly onion. I was also not a fan of the chips or my margarita. I ordered the skinny and it had a 'fake' flavor. The vibe was like the old Isle of Capri casino meets country.

I had a great experience here. Service was timely, the food tasted superb. Drew was my server and he knocked it out of the park! I will definitely be visiting again. Kudos to the kitchen as well, the chicken spinach mushroom enchilada did not disappoint.

Erica was an amazing waitress and made us feel right at home. The food was delish. Highly recommend the white queso & purple margaritas! We will definitely visit again!

Grew up in Texas. I've been to a million Mexican restaurants. This was the best Mexican food I've ever had. My family agreed. You know the flavorless refried beans that usually come as a side? We were fighting over my son's until he finally tasted it and told us he was going to eat it. That's never happened before. I thought the chili relleno was kind of weird. There was almost a roll around the outside. Way too much bread, like a loaf of bread, bread. I just didn't eat all the bread. Anyway 10 stars out of five! Don't miss this place!

The food was good and the flavor was plentiful. Service was ok. Forgot the queso then brought yellow instead of white. The street taco, beans and rice were very flavorful. The quesidilla Birria was full of meat but I thought light on cheese. The sour cream, pico and quac were great flavor additions. Overall it was a good tex Mex meal and we both left full.

This was my second visit to Milo and I love the farm to table mission and ambiance! Even though they advertise the brussels as crispy, ours were severely overcooked which made them unenjoyable. They also came out suspiciously fast but weren’t overly hot which made them feel like maybe they were old? The lemon chicken bowl was really good; the chicken was super juicy and all of the flavors worked well together. My friend ordered the egg white frittata and the portion was a bit small, so if you’re hungry you’d definitely need more than just that for your main. It’s weird it doesn’t come with a side of toast, potatoes, or something else.

I like what they are doing here in Waco. Clean and bright interior, fun atmosphere with 2010s alt rock playing in the background. Creative farm to table menu. Nashville hot chicken tacos were a hit in my book, amazing flavor, balanced. Servers seemed over booked. Granted it was busy. maybe they need more help? All in all I will be back to try out their other menu items!

Pretty good spot! They had half off appetizers and margaritas which allowed us to try s few things! We got the pimento cheese (very good and I enjoyed the homemade crackers), the brussel sprouts were also quite good. my husband got the burger and I ordered the steak lettuce wraps. The burger and fries were very fresh and flavorful. maybe it was supposed to be this way, but the steak for my entree was cooked so much it was crunchy.... The flavor was good, but I found that odd. Fresh ingredients and good service. A relaxed, bright and airy atmosphere! Some entrees seemed smaller, but the appetizers helped fill us up.

Great atmosphere for a family get together. Plenty of food choices. Kids grilled cheese is huge. My hamburger was perfect! Salmon was blackened beautifully for my wife. Great food and service!

Great space with very nice modern finishes and the patio was very comfortable to sit at. Parking was very limited but parked down the street and it was not far. Carnitas hash and the Nashville hot tacos were all really good choices. Highly recommend the pumpkin spice espresso martinis.

I ordered to go and was disappointed. I order The Salad which was described as little gem lettuce, sesame sunflower seed crunch and rustic croutons and Campari tomatoes. None of these are actually on what I received. I also had the crab hush puppies which were ok not much crab mostly cornbread and the corn ribs which were pretty good. Do better Milo!

A great breakfast stop in Waco. Food was fresh and tasty. The portions are a bit smaller but they are priced well for their size. The farmer’s daughter was a smash for our group. Drinks looked delicious but we didn’t try them because it was still morning and we aren’t THAT dependent. But still worth considering…

Good basic Tex Mex. I ordered nachos and they were made just the way I like. Chips, beans, cheese and jalapeño. The salsa is pretty wimpy if you’re wanting something spicy. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

We came back to the restaurant and we delighted that our hostess, Stella, was there. She is so knowledgeable about the menu, friendly, and very accommodating. We liked the food, too. The coffee was tasty and I really like that they offer a full assortment of sweeteners like Splenda, Sweet-n-law, etc. Would recommend.

Some of the best Tex Mex in Waco!! I'm a huge fan of the fish tacos. They can be a little too sauce sometimes but put it on the side and you can put just the right amount for your taste. Fantastic and attentive staff, always smiling from the time you arrive until the time you leave. Its a great family business that has been serving Waco as long as I can remember. A truly great dining experience for our hometown!

Awesome restaurant! Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Great prices for the portions you get. I got the Casa Castillo Dinner and had a ton of great food and leftovers to go. Our waiter was probably the best I've seen. She refilled our chips when they got low, got us replacement drinks when they were half empty, to-go drinks as well, constantly checking on us. Excellent experience!

Our dinner with family was amazing! Loved the atmosphere, the family operation, friendly staff, and excellent food! We ordered the queso to go with our chips and salsa which were immediately delivered to our table upon arrival. I ordered the sweet tea based on someone else’s review and it was perfect and fresh. I ordered the (#9) Combination dinner which was a Chili Relleno (Beef & Cheese filling), cheese enchilada (changed for chicken) and beef taco!! It came with refried beans and rice and was absolutely delicious! Generously sauced with melted cheese. My honey ordered the Carne Guisada and it was like Mexican pot roast to me! A little spicy if you like heat, and so yummy! The reviews on it were why we ordered it! Family had Combination Fajitas (Beef, Chicken & Shrimp), a Chicken Chimichanga and Pork Carnitos Taco Dinner. No complaints from anyone! We were so glad we stopped! Service was amazing as our drinks, chips and salsa stayed filled while we dined. The place was bustling with customers on Friday night! There was a little bit of a wait, but well worth it! They may take reservations, so call and ask! 😋😋😋 We will definitely be returning whenever we are in Waco, TX. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My girl loves to get the number ten its a beef burrito with queso on top with rice and charro beans and I love the steak quesadilla meal with rice and refried beans and quacamole on the side. Great place great atmoshere everytime I show up the food is delicious and thats one thing that will never change.

Waitress was great! Very attentive and kindhearted. The food was fresh and delicious, the sweet tea was soooo gooood and I’m a sweet tea lover. The atmosphere was amazing and the restaurant is super clean and the restrooms were too. Overall it was a great experience for my first time.

Very good service and hospitality. They opened the door for an elderly lady. You don't see that much anymore. Authentic atmosphere and food. I will be returning to this place in the near future. They have a range of different salsas that change from sweet to hot. Friendly and good

Great little hidden gem. When my food arrived, I took my 1st bite and I thought my aunt was cooking in the kitchen. It was so authentic and homemade. The food did tale awhile to come out, but now I understand why. It was homemade and from scratch. I will make it a point to eat there everytime I'm in town.

Went for breakfast. The waitress was friendly and attentive. Two breakfast tacos and coffee was ordered. The tortillas tasted homemade. One taco was chorizo, potato and cheese. I enjoyed eating it with the green salsa. The other taco was ground beef, potato and Pico de gallo. That taco was also very tasty. The coffee was ok. The restaurant was very clean. Very limited parking. I will be back when I come through Waco.

Truly authentic Mexican food. I had the guisado con puerco and it was delicious. They also have several salsas with varying degrees of spiciness including an aged guava and hibiscus salsa. You can tell they put a lot of love and care into everything they make.

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, not just Tex/mex, this is the place to go. The food is off the charts good, won’t be surprised to see this place on the Food Network someday.

So good, very authentic, customer friendly, good food, free chips and salsa

Definitely do not recommend this place. We saw this place had amazing reviews and thought we would give it a try! Absolutely disappointed! The food was definitely not worth the price we paid. My daughter wanted cheese enchiladas but they put the green sauce on enchiladas. All of our beans were cold and the waitress acted like she didn't know how to fix it. When we got fresh hot beans they were very bland and had no flavor whatsoever. And my husband got beef fajitas which probably wasn't even enough food for a kids meal. I really wanted to like this place but just couldn't as even though we were the only ones in there the service was terrible! I had to go find her multiple times because we needed something and she was nowhere to be found.

Birria Pizzadilla!!!!! Best tortillas!!! Steak Quesadillas!!!!! Amazing food and friendly service. This place is always busy.

Food was AMAZING, the service was knowledgeable about the food. The only thing I would have to say is the parking lot area, you have to have a lot of patience to get out. But everything else EXCELLENT. By the way your salsa is the best that I have had and the hot sauce is liquid fire but really good. Thank you for an amazing dinner.

I’ve called orders ahead and had them picked up for me and I wouldn’t be writing a review if it were a one time thing. However at this point it’s now been a constant issue with my orders. Most recently I ordered an agua fresca de limón. When my order arrives to my job and I’m handed my drink I immediately notice the color is off. I give it a sip and well it simply tasted like sugar no crisp citrus notes like natural homemade lemonade or limón would have. I then call to ask about how they make the agua de limón and YES indeed it’s just powdered flavoring. It’s frustrating that online and in store they announce to sell aguas frescas when in reality it’s just powder Kool-Aid/Klass brand etc….. and yet charge as if it were truly a fresh made beverage. If I wanted a processed beverage I would go to any corner store or gas station and even then it would be cheaper. Not to mention that when I call to place my order the lady taking the order seems to be in a rush continuously asking anything else, when I’m not even finish with my sentence. If you don’t have time to take an order it’s okay to communicate that as well, simply say it’s best if you call back or place the order online. I call because it’s quicker but if calling is going to cause communication issues to the point where my orders are being delivered incorrectly every time than I would rather not call, I order from here because it’s closer to my job and convenient but the service and food isn’t what it’s supposed to be.

Got tired of fast food after work and did a quick search to see what was close to my hotel. Found this taqueria 2 minutes away and they are open till 11:00pm. Good tacos and the salsa was nice and spicy. Charro beans hit the spot. Heading back in the morning for some breakfast tacos.

I was in town for work and decided on something “light” for dinner. This restaurant gives a food truck feel but with a dine in option. I ordered the fajita chicken quesadilla and two beef fajita tacos on corn. Order took about 10 minutes or so. It smelled great! The quesadilla was okay. Very cheesy if you like more cheese than chicken. I prefer an even ratio so I give the quesadilla three stars. But five stars go for the tacos! I can get that all day everyday! Delicious, flavorful, and full of meat. It was so good and I wished I would have gotten more. But it’s a great gem in the city of Waco so I definitely recommend. It gives authentic Mexican food that’s not Tex mex.

Y dis place so popular all da sudden!?! The boy gets some tacos wit his friend and now dis all I here bout. Go after prom and now we takin it up to his school fo lunch! Tastes ight, mayb one day I'll get my own. Service is efficient and I bet da college children frequent here...

I am always very satisfied with the food, the service, and cleanliness of this place. I don’t live in the area but make it a point to stop by any chance I can. Nos vemos!

Visit on 7/11 We were visiting from out of town and were recommended this place, so we were looking forward to our experience. That said, I believe this restaurant may be better suited for smaller parties—perhaps four or fewer—based on our visit as a group of ten. When we arrived, the hostess seemed visibly irritated when we mentioned our party size, even though we were polite and patient. Once we were seated, it took quite a while for our server to greet us and take our drink orders. Unfortunately, the service throughout the meal continued to be slow and inattentive. The server appeared overwhelmed and seemed frustrated when we made standard requests such as refills or additional items. At times, she expressed that she was too busy and had other tables to attend to, which made us feel like an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. We understand that large parties can be challenging, especially during busy hours, but a little more communication or a heads-up would have helped us adjust our expectations. If staff are feeling overwhelmed, it might be helpful for management to reassess how tables are assigned, particularly for servers who may be struggling to keep up. We hope this feedback is helpful and contributes to a better experience for future guests. SERVER WAS CELESTE

We always enjoy eating here. Food is great, parking is tough for husband who is handicap and has to walk from the paid parking behind the hippodrome or when there is event traffic, you have to park even further away. The staff is small so be patient, sometimes it takes a minute to get to you. We love the salsa and black beans with delicious chips. My husband had the Parillada and I enjoyed the Steak Aguachile for the first time and really liked the flavor. It doesn't not come with rice and beans but that was ok for lower carbs. I normally enjoy the Carnitas as well. Overall, we still enjoyed our meal and happy hour drinks from 3-6 pm

Great atmosphere and food. The hostess seemed to be having a bad day and lacked energy. Once seated it took more than 20 before we saw the waitress for the drink order. It was not busy, so maybe it an oversight. Regardless, we were not in a hurry and everything was great after the bad start. I had huevos divorciados for brunch. The picture doesn’t look great, but it was very good. Even the side of beans was worth eating. One day I will come back for some mezcal.

We were looking for a quick bite to eat before the concert. Served with margaritas and water. Snacking on the free chips with a roasted salsa and bean salsa as well. The guys decided upon enchiladas while I was looking for a good street taco 🌮. The server was really great and attentive. The bathrooms lead to hallway that resembles a movie theater leaving us with questions? I’d go back again. Priced decently.

We wanted to take our friends out to dinner that were in from Dallas out for a delicious, fun evening. This Mexican restaurant was just amazing. It started with the server ( so nice ) the food, location was great. Our friends enjoyed it very much. We all will definitely will return. Jill Stout

Elevated / Upscale Mexican with friendly local staff. I so appreciate having a nice place like thise, well done! We found our go to place for Mexican in Waco. Very good menu with well thought out & popular offerings. The cocktails were great, I tried El Viejo Old Fashioned (twice) and it was perfect both times. Very large spirit selection. We look forward to returning!

Super cool spot in old town Waco near many attractions. My lunch carnitas were delicious. The cold beer and outdoor sidewalk seating made it a relaxing lunch.

This restaurant must be put on your very regular schedule! Presentation was so impressive as all of the food is fresh, even the custom homemade salsa. The meat was marinated for 24 hours and cooked and served hot and fresh. The staff were so kind, Susie, and the owner came to the table and offered us to try a different special hot sauce he makes and was so unique, we took a pint home! They are adding a food truck to serve breakfast over by common grounds on Franklin! Best Mexican food in Waco.

My table of four was very pleased with our meal, the service, and the atmosphere. Each of us ordered different meals. We had cod, corn quesadillas, flour quesadillas, flour tacos, street corn, guacamole, salsa, queso, and I had a margarita. Prices are on par with other sit down restaurants. Please note that the restaurant is nestled between other businesses in a large, white stucco building with parking available on the street and in the parking lot. We will definitely be back!

Perhaps best Mexican food in Waco. Wife and I decided to look for a Mexican food place we hadn’t eaten at before, saw the great reviews and decided to give it a try. We live like 8 blocks from the restaurant and never even knew about it. The food we had was amazing and will definitely return to try other things. They had perhaps the best chips and salsa I’ve had but be warned I feel it is a bit pricey for just chips and salsa. I’ll over look it though because of had great it was. Other prices I feel are totally on point for the quality of food you get.

I'm going to be so honest and transparent, as someone who is well traveled and really appreciates authentic food, this is the best Latin restaurant I have ever been to. The interior is cute as heck, the drinks were delicious (and strong). But THE FOOD?! Tender, plates come out steaming, so well seasoned and delicious. Not being dramatic when I say I teared up. Plates got CLEARED. I don't even like to leave reviews but this place deserved the business. Everyone here is so polite and attentive. I was just passing through Waco to see family and we stumbled upon this place on a whim, we will definitely be back every time we pass through Waco. I would ignore the bad reviews, the flavor and seasoning are authentic and some people can't handle that which is fair. But from the service, the workers, the food, the presentation; 10's across the board. P.S. The Carne Asada Fries & Chicharrones are worth fighting over.

Fantastic food!! The Totopo dip trio is so yummy, and we love the carnitas tacos - the meat is so flavorful!! They also have a variety of unique margaritas/cocktails, and everything is homemade and you can taste the quality. We will definitely be coming back regularly!

Very very good! We had the Chips and Dip trio, Torta Asada, Chili Relleno de Camarones, and the Tres Leches De Horchata and they were all incredible!! Friendly staff and a very cozy atmosphere. Would definitely come back again if I was in the area.

The food was good, and the margarita was tasty, but it’s a letdown to pay for chips and salsa when the area is full of Mexican restaurants offering them free with better food.

Great Taco spot! The service is swift and personal. Minimalist gothic style with nice bar. If you want some good Tacos, I recommend!

Food was great , flavorful and good portion size - family friendly environment and plenty of space . The lemon lime margarita special was 10/10 - bartender /server guy was super helpful with recommendations and he also made a good drink - we will be coming back

OMG y'all ROCK!!!! Walked to your restaurant after visiting the #silobration at Magnolia... fast service, super tasty food. Tasty in fact, Hubby orders a few to- go's. We opted to sit outdoors and that was comfy cozy.

Kristian is the absolute best bartender I've had the pleasure to meet and see in yrs. He makes some of the most amazing "knock you socks" drinks I've ever had in my life!! Wow!!! Tonight he had me a Caramel Apple Cocktail". Wow....Best damn drink freaking ever!!! Amazing...OMG!!! Come meet and see him for yourself. You won't regret it!!

First of all the lady at the cash register was rude and we had to tell her 3 x’s what we wanted! My 2 kids chicken tacos were suppose to have corn tortillas and it had flour! The corn was not as good as usual and it was too expensive for 2 kids tacos, 2 small 1/2 size corn and 2 drinks! It was 30 dollars!!! Are you freaking kidding me! Won’t be back!

30 dollars for 4 tacos that when I get home tacos looked like straight dog food I was very disappointed in this because me and my fiancé thought they would be good considering how expensive and packed they are but I wasn’t able to even feed my child last night because everything I order for her looked like dog food. SMH they need to lower prices on this place or at least give better food service! I would have rather eaten Taco Bell if I would’ve known.

Torchys Tacos did not disappoint!! I tasted the Brushfire and the Tipsy chicken tacos. Both were packed with flavor and a kickstart heat. It was so delicious. I topped them off with two sauces which included the Diablo and the Bacon Bourbon marmalade. The bacon marmalade had me shaking my head because I wanted to lick the cup. Overall, the experience was very relaxed and I definitely enjoyed the meal. I will most certainly return to eat some Damn Good tacos as their sign proudly displays.

Good food, authentic. It was pretty slow when we went, so it was quiet. The waiter was very attentive and made sure we knew what was being ordered, considering it was authentic. True mexican cheese echiladas, delicious! Drink was good as well and tasted just as fresh as it looked!

Save your money and go somewhere else!!! Sunday dinner with a party of five. There was no wait and the restaurant was 90 percent empty. While we waited to be seated, we notice the ice cream machine area was dirty. Proceeded to be seated and our waitress was friendly. The food was disgusting and we wouldn’t recommend this place. One star) Milanesa and lemonade: chicken had no flavor and it tasted like it was made in the microwave, fries were stale, lemonade tasted like plain water Two stars) Steak, shrimp and enchilada: no flavor, tastes like it was microwaved One star) Tacos Al Pastor: no flavor, tortillas were cold, and our guest tummy started to hurt after eating the first taco. Refused to try the rice since the beans were also bad One star) Flauta Plate: no flavor, not crispy, soggy as if it was microwaved One star) Cheese Enchila: sauce tasted burnt General Manager needs to review the quality of the food that’s going out to his/her customers. This is unacceptable. We paid way over $100 for poor food quality.

We usually come during lunch hours, and the crowd is always decent but not too much. Just enough of the buzz from everyone, which is nice. The food is always amazing! The salsa is more of a honemade flavor without the dried chili in it. Thin, chunky and delicious!Service is also good. I have had no real issues, but I want to highlight Carlo. He works up in the elevated area to the right of the entrance and is amazing!!! He is always so friendly and professional. One gripe is the sopapillas. They are crispy and thin and not my personal preference. I like them softer and a little thicker. Other than that we will be back.

First visit and dang was it good, the salsa was super fresh, queso was tasty, all the meals we had are excellent, service was a bit slow but we didn't mind having drinks and catching up with our Bear...

Group of 9 people stopped in for lunch. The parking is ample and it was not crowded. Complimentary chips and salsa are served warm (tasty!) and adult beverages are available. Margaritas were good. They have a large menu and offer a daily weekday luncheon special. Off the regular menu I had the Dos Amigos plate..which is 2 cheese enchiladas, rice and beans. Others had the Chicken enchilada plate, and the Chili Relleno plate. Food was good but not exceptional. Prices are reasonable, as well. The problem is that the service was poor. Took about a half hour to get the lunch entrees, and almost as long to process our tabs. Yes, we were a group of nine, but this was noteworthy. Unfortunately, since otherwise not a bad meal.

The chicken fajita chimichanga was delish!! The salsa was just the right heat and the chips were great. The meat on the brisket nachos tasted off somehow so won’t order those again. A little pricey.

Waiter Hunter is fun. And really loves his job. Fast and on the ball! Best Food In Waco!!

Cafe Rosa is a blend between a fast food restaurant and a regular restaurant. I like the ease of placing an order and then picking it up minutes later. Serving portions are just right and there’s no skimping. The value for your money is great and that’s why we would tend to go to Rosa other than some other Mexican restaurants. The only drawback that I found is that the food is not piping hot like normal Mexican restaurants, Where the server Place your plate down on the table holding the potholder. The chips unfortunately are stored in an open container rather than a heated bin and so they’re not as crisp, hot and fresh. Oh, and you don’t get free refills on your chip basket.

Got our order in drive thru, ordered 2 #55 & 3 #23 with jalapeñosin the side, unlike other restaurants serving tostados where you can taste and feel the texture of the refried beans, these were soggy, refried beans had a sauce texture :( I had to use a fork to eat a tostado. Geez!! So much for a crisp corn tortilla. No jalapeños on the side and the wrapped in paper tortillas were cold. Now I know why it's been SO long since I've eaten at this location. Really? We can't do better??

Good. Consistent. Reasonable. Long over due for a New Braunfels location. Please look at the old Los Cucos location on Common between Loop 337 & Gruene Rd.

Use to love Taco 🌮 Tuesday. Lately they been putting less & less taco meat in their 🌮 tacos, not even a spoonfull. Will not be ordering any taco Tuesday for a while, unless I go on a diet 🤭.

I have eaten at Rosa's Cafe all over Texas....the food and service are always been consistent at every one. Fast service always! Big menu with great dishes. I recommend the fresh tortillas...made on site hourly....you can watch them being made! Stop in and try a dish.

Delicious Mexican comfort food. Ordered a burrito that was heavier than a car and have never been so full and satisfied, and the price was the best part. This is the place to go to get a quick meal after a long day.

Not actual mexican food, it's the mcdonalds of mexican food I guess... reviewing on a scale 1-10... Tamales - 2 Enchiladas - 2 Tostadas - 5 Taco - 6 (add cilantro and onions) Rice and beans - 8 Salsa - 3 Tortilla chips - 10

I ordered the chili relleno. It was very delicious. The service was excellent and the price was unbeatable. I highly recommend this place.

Food quality is consistent. You don't get huge fluctuations. I've only been there twice, and the service is good. The very cute young lady with braces that waited for us this week was excellent.

Really good! Jesus was great! Friendly, helpful, polite and attentive. He recommended the Tacos Al Carbon which I hadn’t noticed, with both varieties (beef and chicken) and the salsa verde which was awesome! He did a great job (Thanks Jesus). The food was great as was the service! Atmosphere is a bit older but the staff keeps the place clean from what I can tell. Overall I would definitely go back!

Such a family oriented restaurant! Everyone knows everyone

I've been a steady customer for over 40 years. The last time I called in an order and there was a communication breakdown and probably on my part. When I got home the food wasn't what it was supposed to be. I called the restaurant are they went to all the trouble of bringing out the correct order to my house and I don't live just around the corner. I live 16 mi from El Con on Waco Drive. This family has maintained a high standard of customer service to Waco and its patrons for many years! Thank you El Con

Every time we come here we get excellent service and the food is absolutely delicious! The margaritas were good, on the rocks was better than the frozen. Our server Dillon was great, he went above and beyond. This is truly a family restaurant and they make you feel like part of the family. Great job El Conquistador!

Being native Texans living out of state we crave authentic Tex-Max when we travel back to visit family & friends. El Conquistador didn’t disappoint!! Loved everything from the salsa & chips to the margaritas & Texas sized draft beer to our tacos, enchiladas & tamales!! Had the best waiter who took great care of us. Definitely put them on your list for your go to Mexican restaurants 😉

Our recent visit had some positives, but overall it was underwhelming. Our server was very kind and polite, and while it seemed he was still learning, he did his best to accommodate us. Unfortunately, service was slow and disorganized, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. Several mistakes were made with our orders and separate checks. The food quality was inconsistent. Some dishes, like the brisket quesadilla, had very little meat, and the replacement wasn’t much better. The fish tacos were removed from the bill after we expressed our concerns, which we appreciated. Despite the friendly service, the overall experience didn’t match the price point—we spent nearly $200 and left disappointed. We hope to see improvements in training and food consistency, as the staff clearly cares and wants to do well.

My server was friendly, attentive and always filled my drinks up right as they were empty. Our food came out steaming hot and fresh. Every time I've been here, the staff go above and beyond. One time, several years ago, I spilled my drink all over myself by accident, they replaced my food, and my cup. The server had a sense of humor and gave me a takeaway cup with the lid taped down. I thought that was hilarious and well worth the cash tip I gave on top of the card gratuity. I've not tried the bar drinks yet as I'm usually the driver, but I look forward to it sometime.

This place used to be good. The food tastes so inauthentic now. I mean I knew it wasn't grade A Mexican food but it was a great place to get food. The costs are SOOOO HIGHH now and the food is bland. One person in my party got fajitas which were 25 bucks and they forgot everything that went with it. This used to be a place to go to but I will go elsewhere. Save your money!!

Service and Atmosphere were great! The food itself though wasn’t really all that. This place wasn’t really all it was hyped up to be.

We absolutely loved Luke!! He is such a sweet young man! He has amazing customer service!!! He greeted us with a smile and such a great attitude and personality! The food was so good nice and hot and Luke made sure our drinks stayed full! I hope we get Luke the next time we come in!

We decided to go there for dinner, we were very hungry, but I wish we hadn't. Their food was not tasty to say the least. We ordered fish tacos, enchiladas and chicken strips for the kid. It looked like it was yesterday's food. They probably don't change the oil in the fryer, or they use low-quality fish. The taste was bitter. The waitress was friendly and understanding. She apologized for them 5 times. Although they replaced the dish for us and gave us a good discount, but the impression did not change. Apparently good reviews are written by those who work there.I do not recommend this restaurant.

The one star is only for the food. The waitress spilled multiple cokes on me and made me sticky and soaked on my right side. The manager covered the bill. This is the second time I was not happy at this location. The first time was stale old tea that made me and my husband sick and throwing up. I would not recommend going here. The bartender can't make a drink unless on the menu.

New to me and gotta say, it's good. Food presents well plus the drinks. Service is ok but very nice. I'm liking the inside of the place...didn't really match the outside to me tho. That chicken stuffed alvacado was great...gives me ideas for the grill...like a bacon wrapped one..?

Delicious Tex-Mex food. Great service as it felt more high end than the prices are. Great variety of sauces. The dip options a really good, especially the avocado one. Chips are light and crispy

Excellent food and service. The food didn't come out 3 minutes after placing your order which is a good thing because it was made to order. The food was obviously not heated in a microwave. The waitress was excellent going above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied or needed anything.

Wow this was a pleasant surprise! The food was great and the placement was beautiful. The service was excellent, we left a 20 dollar tip! Did not wait long and the margarita was superb! This place is clean my table was freshly wiped down . Cloth napkins.. Tables spaced perfectly. Great lighting!! Ty so much to our server😃

Large party experience. The food was good. The problem is service was the worst I/we have EVER EXPERIENCED. We, as a party, had to get someone else to ask the server to come back for drinks. We had to get our own silverware for the cake. The tickets were wrong. The tickets included a tip. If I could, I would give negative stars. Just don't come in as a party because servers know tips are included.

My wife and I wander into this place about once a month. Saw some bad reviews. I’ve never had a problem. If fact, as far as the quality of the food, look at my pictures. They should speak for themselves. Makes me want to visit more often. Addressing the high price complaints: You get what you pay for. For food I really enjoy, I’m willing to drop an extra couple of dollars. I’ve paid less in comparable places, and that’s exactly what I got - less. At least try it once, for yourself, before you decide. Get you some of that bad to the bone green sauce for your chips. You might even see me there…. I’ll be the big guy, with a look on his face which says “I ate way too much”.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. My husband and his coworker came here for the first time today— and it will definitely be the last. As he started eating his food, he suddenly felt something sharp in his throat. He pulled it out, only to find a twist tie embedded in his meal. Yes, an actual twist tie — the kind used to seal bags. He could have seriously choked. When he brought this to the attention of his server, instead of showing concern, the manager came over with an attitude, asking, "Is there a problem?" As if nearly choking on a foreign object in your food isn’t a serious issue. No apology. No accountability. They just casually asked if he wanted something else — as if that would fix the fact that there was literal trash in the food. No compensation was offered, no genuine concern was shown, and the overall response was beyond disappointing. The service was just as bad as the food — and the food wasn’t even good to begin with. If a twist tie made it onto a plate, I can only imagine what else is slipping through their kitchen. Save your time, money, and safety. This place should be ashamed.

We came here for breakfast and it’s been a while since I’ve had Fuego. I forgot how large the tacos are! Do not underestimate these. Yes some of them are six dollars but with that being said, you truly only need one and two if you are starving. Tacos are very unique. I would definitely recommend the Dr Pepper cowboy.

I've been coming here for years. This one and the one in San Marcos. I know the one here in Waco has gone through some changes over the years. I always get the same thing when I come here so the major changes I've seen were the juices they offer and the salsa. The salsa here used to be amazing now it seems they've downgraded to something cheaper. Also, there used to be... like adult-sized juices sold here. Apple, orange etc in bottles that were like 16 ounces. This time when I came, the lady handed me these little 10 ounce kid-sized drinks and I was really disappointed. Who ever managing this should be ashamed. You had a good product, stop downgrading.

Food was great. Highlight of the experience. The Fuego steak taco was super delicious and probably one of the best tacos I've ever had. The issue is that it took almost an hour to get our food. It may have been an off day, or it was crowded, but on a Friday night in a college town, it seemed understaffed. The service was less than ideal. Staff is friendly and welcoming. But they fail to see small details. Both soda machines did not have any ice, some of the sodas did not dispense and were out, and some tables were not cleaned. And they delieved the wrong food or were unfamiliar with the menu item being delivered. Atmosphere was fine. It's like a Chipotle, or any other counter service restaurant.

Food tasted so good!! A bit expensive, but what tacos aren’t? Lol Definitely would recommend!! Inside wasn’t super clean but not terrible either.

I am not one to leave reviews for fast food or ever really complain about fast food service BUT…. Potato, egg, and cheese taco….. I came back because they forgot to add cheese and THIS is what they handed me in my bag. When I pulled back around for the THIRD time, I asked to speak to a manager because…??? Are you serious??? Like does my worst enemy work here?? Turns out - it was the MANAGER who told the girl to hand that back to me. This type of carelessness is just unacceptable and could potentially end up sending a customer to the hospital. I was literally in disbelief. Also no one ever goes to fuego and gets their order 100% correct. Most of the time when I ask for EASY EGG, I get a taco full of egg. It’s fast food - not rocket science 😭 Yall need to vet & train your staff way better.

Every time we order from here, there's at least 1 item missing. EVERY TIME! The food was fantastic but since y'all can't properly prepare an order I am over y'all

I waited over 20 minutes in line with only 3 cars ahead of me... Just to get to the window for them to tell me they didn't have what I ordered. I ordered 2 potato and egg tacos, which they said they had when I placed the order. The lady at the window didn't seem like she knew anything. And maybe it was her 1st day. This was 11 PM on Sunday night. This was an absolutely horrible experience. The lady kept shrugging her shoulders like she didn't know or didn't care at the window when I asked what the reason for all the problems were. Their night crew never seems to know what's going on.

All things considered: This is a chain, and the atmosphere is bar and food, so for what it is, it was pretty good. The only two things that would have made it better are: 1. Don't leave the paper towel rolls on the table - or at least check them for cleanliness. Ours had old food on it. 2. Cook the eggs and potatoes separately from the meat, because some people don't eat meat and do not appreciate finding bits of bacon in their breakfast potatoes. We had ordered breakfast tacos, and the portions were generous. If it wasn't for the accidental bacon, the rating would be higher.

I let the good times roll. Almost everything is Gluten Free. The entertainment is awesome and my friends, Venus E, and both Fuzzy's in the Waco area let me DANCE! Can't get better than that!!! ✌️❤️🙂

Pretty nice place to eat at,the food is pretty good. I like thier chips and salsa and tacos

Fuzzys is one my favorite stops. The food quality is far above any fast food chain so, it is not really a fast food joint despite the appearance. "Self service restaurant" is a better description. This shop is in Waco and you can talk a nice walk along the river to "walk off" a few calories.

Really great food and the service was prompt. Really great prices and the portions were decent. Very clean facilities and you can sit outside and eat or you can go indoors to eat as well. Their teas weren't sweet at all, just forewarning you, but there is sugar on hand.

Very neat decor with some humor. Food was fairly priced and pretty quick. Tasted delicious. The bar has a good selection and their margaritas are really good. I enjoyed the whole experience.

Let's start with the positive. Host 24 taking the orders was great. The potatoes were warm and great. The enchilada and queso were cold. The beans were warm but had 0 flavor. The kitchen staff was rude and unhelpful.

This was more of a Tex-Mex Food. I was looking more like an Authentic Mexican Restaurant. Although the food was good, and so was the desert. Did not have to wait much for the food. The waitress was awesome. The restaurant was clean. The atmosphere was not as loud. We Enjoyed eating there. At the entrance, there is a nice fiesta colorful background to take pictures 📸

My first time. You can park easily. There is one step up to the door but also a ramp. Inside is but large, bright and airy with a semi private area for a big group. Place is clean and welcoming. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. Food came in good time and was very enjoyable. Good menu with lunch specials. Will definitely go again.

Food we had the special enchiladas rice and beans. Very delicious. Chips and salsa fresh and delicious. Service from the moment we walked in greeted with kindness. Waitress very kind and friendly new their menu. Very clean and price good.

Met my friend here for a long lunch, he drive up from Austin and I came down from Dallas. The staff was super friendly. The place is reasonably nice. It just seemed a little less when I couldn't get verde sauce. I made a stretch and asked for mole sauce next, still no. So, if you want red sauce or cheese, you're set, otherwise, shop around a bit.

The food has always been real good, but today. Me and my party all agreed that for some reason, it was over the top good. Their wait staff has always been great, but the one today, not so good. My drink ran dry and had to ask for a refill. My food cooled down waiting to get something to wash it down with. Didn't bring us enough chips. Two baskets for a party of 10, come on now. Had to ask for more chips, because we weren't offered refills, when clearly they were bone dry. I know it's not the restaurant. Today's service was an exception.

We are down from out of state, and based on the reviews I read, I was hesitant to go here, but I'm very glad I did. I had the beef fajita burrito, and my wife had the Abuelita's Special. Both dinners were very good! The rice and beans were flavorful. The service was very good as well. I would definitely go back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious food, thoughtful service, and a spacious setting—what more could you ask for? We had a great meal at this restaurant, and I have to highlight a few standout dishes. The bacon-wrapped shrimp were cooked perfectly—crispy, flavorful, and absolutely addictive. The Botana plate is a great option if you're craving variety, and Abuelita’s Special was both comforting and delicious, a true standout on the menu. Service was excellent throughout our visit. The staff were attentive in all the right ways—generous with chip baskets and quick with drink refills, which made us feel genuinely cared for. That kind of hospitality makes such a difference. The restaurant itself is surprisingly spacious. It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and we didn’t encounter any wait time, even with a busy-looking lot. It’s a fantastic spot for groups or family outings. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, friendly service, and a comfortable dining experience!

We have seen this place many times over the past year. On March 15, 2024 was the day we stopped by about 8:30 AM for breakfast. 1st, we wondered if it was open because the parking lot was basically empty. Then we saw the drive thru. One thing we both noticed on the menu is that any changes made would cost you extra. We both chose to create your own breakfast burrito, large. We both got sausage egg, bean, potato, and Pico de gallo. We also got chips and hot sauce. We both noticed immediately the hot sauce had a different taste, and we thought too much cumin. Anyway wasn't for our taste. The burritos were big, but again, they lacked taste. As we were finishing up I needed to waste my hands, so I went to the men's room and let say it was if I stepped into the side of the road hole in a wall gas station. Ok, the truth, I do make exception time to time for location, but for a $34,$4 tip, breakfast with no bloodmary, this isn't a place I'm going to visit again. As always, keeping real per my experience.

This place use to be the place to be back in the day. I’ve attempted to eat here 3 times and all 3 times have been more than disappointing. This order I placed is way wrong. I did not get what I paid for. Shocker, right? One issue is the salsa. I asked and paid for extra GREEN sauce. I received this absolutely DISGUSTING red sauce. It smells bad. Like really bad. Throw in the trash bad. I tasted it and it definitely is bad. And let’s not forget to add the 2 pieces of egg shells I had the pleasure of enduring. Everything ended up in the trash, where it belongs. Do better!! Especially if you’re gonna overcharge on “large burritos” that end up as a small, or NOT the right ingredients.

A Woodway staple, probably one of the longest running restaurants here besides Shipley’s. The Leal family is wonderful and such a blessing to the community. Love the way you are treated inside - can’t beat the breakfast burrito!!

I was not a fan! 21.00 for two burritos that look like tacos not worth it at all! Average price you pay for two burritos in Waco is 15 bucks. They had absolutely no flavor. I dumped a whole container of red salsa and a whole container of green salsa on my taco / burrito and still tasted nothing. There was no flavor the salsa had no flavor it gave the burrito no flavor. I told my sister, am I tripping or does this taste like nothing? The salsa was watery. All it did was water down my burrito. Then, most places when ordering 2 burritos give you a green and red per burrito. They gave me one red and one green I had to pay for an extra Green in an extra red salsa. Would NOT eat here again.

A bit pricey but definitely satisfied with their breakfast burritos. Smaller than I imagined but filled me up regardless! Their flour tortillas are on point! My only complaint would be their hours.

My wife Marcela and I went to Leals today. The food and service were spectacular. I have been coming here since middle school football days and the food is just as amazing. Do yourself a favor and go try it, you'll be glad you did!

This is authentic Mexican food, not tex-mex like Rosa's down the street. I say that because some of these reviews seem to be looking for more of that flavor and experience.... this isnt that. If you want Abuela's tortillas, and authentic salsa, not picante sauce, and authentic recipes you found your spot. Nothing fancy to the building but who cares its a local Mexican diner that's been in the same location since I was in high-school. Not a date night spot. It's where locals come for breakfast and lunch. If you're offended by Spanish speaking workers, make your own food at home. Its family owned and operated, you're going to feel like part of the family and leave full.

Lolita’s is a nice quiet place you walk in make your order at the counter and have a seat the Elephante Burrito I got was delicious but the tortillas were from a package which I didn’t like I like restaurants with homemade fresh tortillas and the salsa tasted like salsa you put on a Huevo rancheros some people liked it but I have had better

Beef fajita, beans, potatoes, onions and cheese. 2 large burritos for $19.49. Called my order in and waited in drive thru for 20+ minutes. There was only 3 cars in front of me when I arrived. I used to come here regularly but it's been awhile. Inflation is a B. This'll be the last visit for me. Just too small to justify the price hike.

Lolita’s Restaurante – Where the Migas Redeem the Mood You walk into Lolita’s and it’s like stepping into an old movie set where everyone already knows their lines—except you. The tables are open, the room’s got that lived-in charm—roosters on the wall, neon reflections in the window, a traffic light glowing for no reason but nostalgia—and yet, there’s no clear script for what you’re supposed to do. No “please seat yourself,” no greeter, no welcome. Just a quiet crowd hovering near the counter, like regulars at a bingo hall who already know the system. Eventually, by deduction and survival instinct, you figure it out: place your order at the counter. The guy back there has the look of someone who’s been making breakfast since the Reagan administration. No smile, no “What can I get you this morning?” Just… wait your turn, state your order, and hope for the best. I ordered the Migas plate and a Barbacoa taco. Coffee, too—eventually. There’s no mention of it being self-serve, but if you look around long enough and spot the carafe and the styrofoam cups, you’ll figure it out. It’s there in the corner with powdered creamer and a few weary stir sticks. The coffee? It gets the job done, but it’s not trying to win any awards. Think gas station energy without the nostalgia. Then comes the wait. You’re given a number, but there’s nowhere to put it—no table stand, no instructions. Just a small piece of paper you sort of toss next to the napkin holder and hope it makes sense to someone. Eventually a woman walks out from the back, calls out “Migas,” drops the plate on the table, and disappears like a ninja. No “How’s everything looking?” No “Can I get you anything else?” Just… Migas. Boom. Gone. But here’s the twist. The Migas were excellent. Eggs fluffy, tortilla chips still crisp, loaded with green peppers, onions, tomatoes. Bacon on the side. Refried beans. Potatoes. The whole thing was packed with flavor—comfort food with just enough of a kick to remind you why you came. It’s a big plate. Too big for one person, really—especially with only two tortillas. You’ll end up crafting two monster tacos and still have a pile of filling leftover. I wanted one more tortilla, but I knew if I walked up to that counter again, I might not return with my dignity intact. The Barbacoa taco? Let’s not talk about it. Greasy, chewy, and bland. Felt like filler—something they keep on the menu because they have to, not because they care to. The salsa was an afterthought. Lifeless. Like it gave up halfway through the recipe and just showed up for attendance. As for the vibe—well, it’s a place that doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not. No customer service theater. No curated experience. Lolita’s has been around long enough to stop caring about Yelp stars or trendy ambiance. It’s a “we make the food, you figure out the rest” type of joint. And apparently, that’s good enough to keep people coming in every day. So here’s my verdict: • Service: 1 out of 5 (but not hostile, just indifferent) • Coffee: 2 out of 5 (bonus point for being hot) • Barbacoa taco: 1 out of 5 (wouldn’t recommend) • Salsa: 1 out of 5 (a shrug in sauce form) • Migas plate: 4.5 out of 5 (would return just for this) Overall: 3.5 stars A gruff, no-frills joint that survives on the strength of one dish—and maybe a loyal crowd that doesn’t mind being ignored. If you’re a first-timer, bring patience, humility, and maybe a spare tortilla. And don’t expect anyone to ask how your day’s going. But hey—if you’re hungry, and you’re willing to earn your breakfast the hard way—those migas are worth it.

We went for breakfast on July 5. I have not been back to Waco since the early 2000s and omg it was like walking back in time. It still looks and smells the same. And thank God it still tastes the same because it was so freaking good!!! If you call in your order you can go through the drive thru to pick it up. Otherwise you go inside and order at the counter. They will give you a number if you are dining in. They have a little cooler with milk and soda and then they have coffee and tea. They have cookies and sweets at the counter and it is worth getting a bag to bring home. The food is good and authentic. The tortillas have just the right amount of brown and crisp to them. The hot sauce is not from New York. The lady at the front taking orders chats like your best friend and lets all the kids ring the bell. The guy at the window looks like he should be a bouncer at a fancy nightclub but is funny as all get out. The regulars sit at their particular tables and smile when you come in. It's not a tourist trap. This is home.

Diasterous. Read the reviews which sounded good and got a recommendation …however…when we got there around 9: 30am on a Friday ,surprised there was hardly anyone there. We soon found out why. No one greeted us, no told us to go to the counter to order - nothing. Then the man behind the counter wouldn’t even look at us or acknowledge. We waited 7 minutes which is not long but there was no one else waiting. I tried to engage and he walked off to take care of people at the take out. We left.

Stopped for a late breakfast. I had the Elephante burrito and it was great!! Good food at great prices and a friendly staff. Ill be coming back to Lolita's!!!🤗😋😁

Lolita's is a hidden gem. Simplicity is a symphony of perfection. Every bite of our food was a throwback to our grandmother's cooking. If you love true Mexican breakfast, this is home. The best part is they have not changed, the food quality is top notch,and glad to see they weathered the pandemic. Your taste buds will thank you..

came in the drive thru my food came upside down with a side of greasy utensils and tortillas. called them and all they said was “okay” they obviously don’t care about their customer service. *EDIT* i can’t figure out how to respond directly. this happened yesterday 2/7/24 around 10am or almost exactly at 10am. i did not get my receipt but i can tell you who took my order and who brought me my food, as well as what i ordered.

The only reason I’m giving this place 1 star is because I can’t give 0. The server didn’t even bother coming to our table until 30 minutes later, and that was only after I asked for service. The environment does give off good Mexican vibes, but that’s the only positive thing I can say. The service was absolutely terrible and the food was mediocre at best. Definitely not worth the time or money.

Only recommended if like your fried talapia hard to chew, along with the quaint odor of a sewer. I sat by the kitchen doorway, but had to keep asking myself: “ What’s that odor?”. Then I realized it was sewage. You can smell the men’s toilet in the dining area if you take a deep breath. I ordered the fried talapia. It came out hard as a brick. The bartender chased me away from the bar by urging probably a regular to take the line seat. I deferred and passed on the margaritas. You should pass on this place.

This is one of my all time favorite Mexican restaurants in Texas. I do not live near Waco but when around the area I make sure to stop. Food is absolutely amazing! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner have never disappointed! The location is a little rough but don’t let that deter you at all!

Update 1/25/23- So we’ve been here a handful of times and we usually love the service and food but tonight was different. We’ve been dieting since the new year but decided to go out to dinner since it was my mother in laws Birthday. She wanted Mexican and we all thought of Ranchito at the same time. This was our first cheat meal in over 3 weeks and it honestly couldn’t have been more disappointing. Ratings are as below- The service 2/5: Our waitress had a large table to serve all night along with our table. Understandably she spent more time with her larger group that us with our table of food. She got our orders and drinks and then we didn’t see her again until our food came out. She would just hover and wait around until someone in her larger group needed something. We wanted new chips (the majority of the ones we had left were literally soggy and flimsy due to being drenched in oil), refills, and possibly order some queso but she never showed up. We finally had to ask a different waitress about our chips, salsa, and refills. The food 1/5: If I could do 0 stars I would for this. First time eating out in 3 weeks and I really wanted some Chicken Flautas. So I ordered those and had high hopes. Then our chips and salsa came out. The chips were stale, soggy, and cooked in old oil (you can taste and smell it when it’s old). So this made me worry my flautas would taste similarly. When they arrived, not only did they taste like that old oil, they were completely over fried, oily, and dry with ZERO flavor. I could only taste the oil. My beans were dry. The rice was dry and old tasting. The best thing I ate was the avocado and sour cream. Everyone else at the table wasn’t too impressed with their food but it was edible. Cleanliness: 3/5: Not bad but the tables were sticky and gross when we got there. My menu had left over dried up food on it. Overall the food and service made me had to rate this a 1 tonight. Please do better. We may try y’all again but this hurt your reputation in our eyes and could be hard to recover from. We have a lot of other Mexican food places around that we can go instead of here. Old review- This place is awesome for Mexican food. Super friendly staff, cold beer, and really tasty salsa and chips. Their tall beer arrives in a chilled metal mug which helps keep you beer cold. The chips are thicker than most tortilla chips so it dips really well. And the salsa is chunky but not too chunky. I ordered the chipotle chicken. It was delicious. Fresh avocado, some jalapeños, cheese, a hefty sized chicken breast, and covered with cheese with rice and beans on the side. The chipotle seasoning and sauce was delicious. I wish it were more spicy but I added some extra jalapeños which helped me with that spice craving. The taco salad was good too. The taco was more like a puffy taco which was pretty cool. Fresh ingredients and a nice gob of cool sour cream. I recommend this place to get your Mexican food craving satisfied.

From our appetizers to all of our four entrées, everything was so delicious. We even tried their mango margarita and it was very well made. The only thing to complain about is the AC could’ve worked a little better. But this would definitely be a place I go back to

Went got dinner and was missing the tortillas and got chips and sauce there.And never got my salsa very disappointing.I took almost thirty minutes just to get urconic cosada plate to go.And it was not busy.

My boss bought us lunch and we were excited that she picked Chipotle. Unfortunately, it became a huge disappointment. She brought a list of our orders, just 4 items and drinks. As she placed/read each order to a female server, she was frustrated with big sighs and rolling her eyes, according to my boss. My boss ordered extra lettuce for me as I requested. It didn’t have any. So as my boss’s. She told her that I wanted sour cream on side. I had to share a cup of sour cream with another coworker, who ordered it on side as well. She said when she came to meat station, she was treated with respect by a male employee, according to her. My boss and I have a couple of food allergies and we couldn’t add a lot like the other 2 orders. Our lunch became more like an Asian bowl, rice with protein (meat/cheese/beans) instead of a Mexican bowl without lettuce. We will never return to this place.

I once ordered through DoorDash and didn’t receive my 2 orders of chips (no biggie, I used to work in the food industry so I understand that mistakes happen). I then tried ordering through the Chipotle app. I DID receive my chips, but this time they were burnt to a crisp. I’m talking as brown as the pinto beans in my burrito bowl. The fact that whoever fried these chips, and then thought that it was alright to bag them up and let customers consume them is just infuriating. THEN I found a piece of plastic in my bowl?!? Seems like some kind of food wrapping plastic. I had also ordered through the Chipotle app about a month ago for pickup during my lunch break. They either lost my ticket, or someone took my order from the shelf….Just so annoying all around. I used to love Chipotle and haven’t had as many issues as I’m seeing within the last year or so.

This Chipotle was nasty. It was very dirty. The tables were not cleaned off at all. They were out of rice and had to scrape the last slimy bits from the container. It had a strange and off tasting flavor. The employees were paying no attention to us. They were busy talking to each other and were totally distracted. Not a pleasant experience at all!

Chipotle is blessed to continue to have customers during so much economic uncertainty. When someone chose to spend their money with you at the very least if you're not going to serve hot food at least let it be good and don't skimp on portions. Why would you only give 2 tablespoons of beans and corn. Smh this establishment have a 3.8 rating and it shows.

Fresh food, tasty ingredients. I ordered a fajita bowl with a tortilla on the side.

Always good quality food, good taste, the restaurant does need to be cleaner. But we had a good experience and consistent!! Will definitely be back!!!

the worst chipotle ive ever been to, i always have a problem. the food is never fresh, the workers are always incompetent, they can never fulfill any of my needs. a disgrace to the chipotle name. the baylor one never disappoints, i’ll never be back to the valley mills location. one worker was actually stupid and can’t listen, the rest are nice and try to make up for her but it’s not enough. online ordering here is always the worst too.

Excellent breakfast tacos. The tortillas are fresh and not store bought. I thought I was going to take a while in the drive thru, but as soon as I pulled up someone came outside to my truck in the drive thru to take my order. Excellent customer service at the window as well. They only take cash FYI. The tacos were amazing as well.

Love this place! Every time I come the family is super sweet, the food is bomb, and the service incredible. Please stop by (try the green salsa and the pineapple water!) Support mom and pop shops.

Quiet mom and pop mexican restaurant serving just breakfast and lunch. Everything's homemade. I've tried the burritos and spanish omelets. Both were amazing and full of flavor. Drive-thru and cash only. There might be a tiny wait but the food is delicious and well worth it!

My favorite breakfast of all time!! Emilia’s enchiladas!! The tacos are the best too! Friendly and family owned.

My favorite food in Waco. Amazing pork in verde sauce. Get a pupusa on the side! Corn tortillas are the best I've ever had.

Fabulous food! "Hole in the wall" is accurate, but you don't go to a taqueria (Mexican fast food) necessarily for the atmosphere--it's about the food! I visited Waco from Wisconsin, and went here based on its 4.6 star rating. I agree with 4.6! I had the Oso Enchiladas (pork with green sauce). Excellent! Their tortillas are hand-made. No chips and salsa, but food is "muy sabor"!

Fast,friendly and good food!! 5 STARS

Alex was an amazing bartender, he definitely took care of us! And the food was UNREAL. My partner and I split the flautas and it hit the freaking spot. Plus the seasoned chips and salsa/guac combo was the perfect complementary appetizer. Thank you for a great meal!

If you want Authentic Mexican Food, this is the place to go!! The owner was so accommodating to our group that was in town for the Heart of Texas Heifer Show!! The ceviche was amazing with beautiful presentation! My picky kid said the beef quesadillas were the best he ever had. The drinks were delicious and we will definitely be back the next time that we are in town!! I’ve never had an experience that was more deserving of my first yelp review

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! From the host who greeted us enthusiastically at the door, and the server who was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly, to the bartender and chef who came to the table to make sure we were enjoying our delicious food and drinks, we just could not have been more pleased! Icing on the cake was the owner coming out to talk to us and bringing us out the most delicious churros and fried ice cream we had ever had!

2 thumbs up for this place. Good service and excellent food. This is what Texas food represents. Portion is good and taste is great. Server was checking on us if we needed anything and the place was clean. Will be back with the family when I’m in town again.

This place was awesome! Food had beautiful presentation and even tasted be then it looked. Their Margaritas are fresh and have a strong kick to them. If you’re looking for something sweet don’t go anywhere else! This place is a one stop shop, don’t miss out.

Incredible food at an excellent price! We hit them up on the way to Dallas and they were so good, we came back on our way home! First time around my wife grabbed their carne asada tacos, which were heavenly! I decided to be healthy and chose their salad with steak as the protein. Also fantastic! Also also, we ordered a horchata - and the presentation was so fancy, I tasted it to be sure there was no alcohol in it! It had like a scoop of ice cream, a strawberry, some other garnish

Wow! Stopped here on a whim and it’s been the highlight of the trip from Oklahoma so far! The free salsa is the perfect combination of flavor, texture, and heat. The house margaritas are some of the best we’ve had and the tamarindo and mango cocktails are absolute flavor bombs. On top of all that, the service is absolutely next level; Sebastian is the best!!. Will 100% be back! LOVE this place!

We arrived late afternoon on a Saturday. There was plenty of parking available. The restaurant was maybe half full, and our party of two was seated immediately. Our friendly waitress quickly arrived to take our drink orders. We ordered a cocktail and a beer. We also received a small basket of chips and two bowls of salsa. The chips and salsa were ok, but neither stood out. She later came back to take our food order and also apologized for the drinks not having been served yet, saying the bar was behind. We thought that to be odd, since the place wasn't too busy. My wife ordered the Del Mar Enchalada Plate. I ordered the Tres Traditional (a three item combination plate) and asked whether the enchalada was cheese or beef. She clarified it was cheese, and I asked if I could upgrade to a beef enchalada. She said they didn't allow substitutions. My wife then asked if I could get a beef enchalada on the side, and she replied that they didn't serve al a carte items. So, I chose not to have anything to eat. I also canceled my cocktail, since it had not arrived yet. My wife's food arrived shortly thereafter. She said her Del Mar plate was good. This was my first time for Jeorge's, and I was looking forward to it, as we have been regular customers of the two George's restaurants for over 20 years. I was quite disappointed that you can't get a simple beef enchalada on a Mexican combination plate. There are too many Mexican food restaurants in town where you can get better menu options, to include a beef enchalada. It wasn't until after we left that my wife told me her group of friends had been gere a few months earlier and had awful service. So, I suspect this will be my one and only time at Jeorge's.

The place is nicely decorated, and the food is good. The chips and salsas made a good first impression. We got the Tres Amigos Dip Board as an appetizer, with good queso blanco and avocado ranch dips, but our favorite was the black bean dip. For our mains, we got the cheese enchiladas and the tacos al carbon. Both were good, with a special mention of the chili con carne on the enchiladas, which had a really rich flavor. The service was great, and Honorio took good care of us. Overall, it's a nice, slightly upscale place for tasty Tex-Mex food.

Hunorio was our server. He was amazing. He made great recommendations. Love the food and the atmosphere. So beautiful inside.

Carter was the most amazing server I have ever had. She is very knowledgeable of the menu and her communication skills are excellent! She was very observant and her personality is wonderful! We will be back and we will be requesting her!

Aaliyah was a fantastic server and the food was very delicious! I had the snapper lunch special was was thoroughly impressed. I can’t wait to come back.

The food was great, drinks were great and our server - Lillian H - was excellent! She was the best waitress we’ve had anywhere in a long time. Very attentive, our order was perfect and even though the table beside us was being a little rude and demanding, she never lost her composure. We will definitely be back soon!

This isn't your typical mexican restaurant. The food has been thoughtfully upgraded. The red salsa is amazing and don't get me started on the queso 😛. I had bacon wrapped shrimp. No tiny little pre frozen shrimp here. Large fresh shrimp wrapped in the perfect amount of bacon.... and to my suprise- char-grilled. Wonderful smoky flavor and succulent. We loved it so much we didnt even wait a week yo go back! Travel time for us is about an hour and 10 min one way.... and worth every mile😁. Fyi- THEY TAKE RESERVATIONS!

Had the best lunch here recently and even ordered an item they do not have on menu. They happily obliged my request (shrimp burrito bowl) and were very friendly. Service was quick and the chips and salsa divine! If you ever order to go, ask for the chip salsa instead of the red to go salsa. Hands down the best in the area. If you have small children, there is a small outdoor seating area for them to run around. Definitely adding to favorites!

First time coming here. The town people loved this place and I said what’s the best food and the recommendation was this place. The inside is a neat little setup with a small bar to the left. It also had an outdoor patio. I got a yogurt bowl and this amazing taco with a dipping sauce and pickled onions. It was filling but didn’t make me feel overly full.

Stopped in while passing through town. So glad I did! Very clean and pleasant dining area. The staff is very friendly and polite. It was lunchtime and there were only 4 other parties in the restaurant. Food came out quickly and with a nice presentation. I had the birria taco plate. Awesome taste and plenty of food with the three taco. Served with chips and salsa and under $13 with water to drink. Overall a great experience and highly recommend.

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast with quick, friendly service. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit!

Looks nice on the outside, but beans taste like out of a can and they had hot dogs in it🤢, pico de gallo was not fresh at all🤢, steak meat taste more gamey, so not sure if that fresh enough. Drive thru girl was pleasant and food served fairly fast….and green salsa side was the best out of the entire: Steak Bowl. Came out @$18 for this lunch.

The food here is great! Everything we've tried has been delicious! The service is good and the restaurant is comfortable. There's not a ton of seating so you may want to get here early.

They have the best burritos in Waco by far. They do have one glaring weakness which is the red salsa as it has gotten better its still more tomato soupish however everything else is amazing especially the green salsa for the burritos.

We ate around 10 am and started off with Biscuits were old and hard, but they still served them anyways. We sent them back and the server DID take them off our ticket but we really really wanted Biscuits and Gravy this morning. Anyways we were not at all pleased with the Chicken Fried Steak or the Beef Fajita meat which I added to my veggie omelette for easier ordering. We ate some and left more but we won't be returning. People who worked there were nice though.

worst Experience , got my order took , waited over 40 min for 2 breakfast burritos. finally decided to leave. do not recommend !

Beware of the cashier purposely over charged me and when I called back for prices they over charged me for a burrito and drink I didn’t it take it back because. I will never go back equal right

Food was on point!! Very good service!!

Amazing food here!! Well worth it to try it..won't be disappointed🖒

Very down to home place to eat. Great service. Food awesome.

Everyone should try this restaurant. It's the bomb in every way!

Very good food! Frozen margaritas are the best! They do not taste like a cheap mix! Taco Salad, Chicken enchiladas were awesome! So good, I forgot to take a pic before we started!!

I love this place. I try to eat here every time I come to Waco. Food is always hot, fast, and delicious. The girls are so friendly and respectful, not to mention attentive. This place, in my opinion, deserves the 5 stars.

Stopped in for dinner and it was great. I had the tacos. Chicken and beef. Plenty of free parking and available seating. Come check it out!

I'm so mad that we paid almost $60 for this food for 3 people. When we looked at the menu before ordering, each plate should've cost around $12 each with 2 sodas and we were charged for two Cokes from Mexico that are like $5 each. I was supposed to have the 3 Amigas Plate with ground beef, not steak! Instead of a tostada, enchilada, and hard taco I got 2 flour tortillas with fajita steak, a tostada with fajita steak that was soggy with all of this meal's sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. The beans were way too salty to eat and the rice was disgusting. The food was too salty to eat and not good at all. I will never go back to this place again. It ruined my appetite and made me so mad. My daughter said we could take it back, but they closed before we could. Good thing too, because I wanted to throw thus food back at them! Never eat here, be sure you're not being up-charged for your items.

One of my favorite places for breakfast. I was hesitant to do a review because I wanted to keep it to myself 😂 but honestly this place is amazing. The breakfast tacos and burritos are perfect. Excellent amount of food for the cost. Real Chorizo. Excellent chilaquiles!!!!! and the Birria plate is delicious. I personally prefer to get the Birria in a burrito! But that's me. Chips and salsa are great. You can get warm or cold salsa or both. The green sauce is so delicious. The staff is great! Food takes time to cook but they are on it. So it's not a terrible wait.

If they say that a portion is not too big, don't believe it! It is big! And it is delicious to!

Love love love love love love love this place! The service the atmosphere and definitely the food! The wait staff is always friendly and efficient! The food no matter what you try is always fresh and on point! I tried a Cubana torta, queso, and a steak burrito with everything in it but the kitchen sink and beans lol. Slap your mama (with love) so good! It's right off the highway super easy to get on and off if you're traveling. No excuse not to stop by here and check out this wonderful little spot. Much love Los compadres ❤️💯

the most delicious fajita torta and orange agua fresca! it came with two spicy sauces. they do have a nice, shaded eating area that is free from flies, but i took it to go for work

Had the chicken quesadilla and the torta cubana. Quesadilla was good and the torta is huge and heavy. Both the red and green salsas are good, not too spicy. Went at 11:30 a.m. on a Friday. Was the only customer there. The owner was nice and his customer service is on point. Plenty of seating under a carport. Will be going back to check out other items on the menu.

They always get my order wrong, and the wait is ridiculous every time!! I kept trying it, because I wanted to like it and the food is decent... but I have found better options in Waco for my money.

The food is wonderful, my husband’s favorite place, he constantly craving for their tacos! Really recommend them

So like most people, if you pass by it enough times you will eventually stop and so we did on Friday night around 10 PM. It was cold and didn't want to eat on the car so we took it home. For $20 we got 3 brisket tacos, 1 brisket quesadilla, and 1 mexican coke, a must-have, right? The food was still hot when we got home. The red and green sauces were tasty. Hate to say it but, for us both, we didn't taste anything "special" to set them apart or above other trucks. In the photo of the quesadilla on the truck wall, I thought it would be the same, but it wasn't just meat and cheese. Just not for us.

The food is delicious but what I really loved about this place is how accommodating they are. For health reasons I requested something that wasn’t on the menu and they made it and it was delicious! They were so kind and understanding! Definitely recommend this place! I would have posted a picture of my grilled chicken salad but I ate it quickly! It hit the spot!

Service was fast and nice but food was alright. The meat seemed like it needed more flavor.

My husband and I were visiting Waco, we wanted to go to a nice restaurant for dinner and I found Red Herring Restaurant & Bar online. The food , atmosphere, service were amazing. If you are into plants (like me) they have so many real plants all throughout the restaurant. The only downside was it wasn’t very cool inside so we were getting warm towards the end of our meal after a few drinks.

The delicious food, creative bar menu, rooftop views and super cool vibe and decor make it a must do in Waco. Super close to Baylor University and the perfect place for a date night or special event. The banquet space is stunning!

This place brings something different to Waco which I love. Their style of serving smaller portions meant to be shared around the table is also great. It’s something very common in other countries. The service was top notch. Some of the best I’ve seen in a while. I highly recommend the focaccia and the crispy potatoes. They have a lot of vegetarian options, and there’s really something for everyone here without the menu being too overwhelming. I liked the ambience, but did feel like it was a little overly dark. Overall nice good addition to Waco’s food scene.

If you’re considering dining here, be prepared for small portion sizes—yes, even the medium and large plates lean on the modest side. A good way to tell what size you're working with is to glance at the plates arriving at nearby tables before you order. There was some confusion at the start: bread and Caesar salads were brought to our table, and we initially assumed they were complimentary. Turns out, both belonged to the table next to us. It wasn’t our server’s fault, as different staff members deliver the food, but it was a little awkward. Now, on to the food: we ordered the dressed oysters, pork belly skewers, and crab cake. All three were delicious—flavorful, well-prepared, and nicely presented. Again though, portions were on the smaller side. The dress code is best described as business casual. While we saw a few diners in shorts and flip-flops, most were dressed a bit more upscale. I wore distressed (holely) capri jeans with wedge sandals and still felt slightly underdressed. Reservations are a good idea, though you can hang out at the bar while waiting for a table. The atmosphere is stylish yet welcoming, and the staff was friendly and professional throughout our visit. This is a Mediterranean-inspired menu with prices ranging from $9 to $45. Overall, it was a great experience with high-quality food and service—just don’t expect to leave full unless you’re ordering multiple dishes.

Great food, smaller portion sizes, very much a “order lots of appetizers as your meal” type of place. Great ambience and wait staff! Neat place!

This has to be the most beautiful restaurant in all of Waco. The food here is phenomenal and the service is amazing. I enjoyed everything that I ordered here - the Wagyu skewers and the Crudo are a must! The carrots and meatballs are also really good. Super affordable compared to Austin. Seriously, such a lovely place and I would definitely come back.

Bartender Zach was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcome with his warm personality and incredible drink-making skills. Every cocktail was crafted to perfection, and his energy truly elevated our night. Zach didn’t just serve drinks—he created an unforgettable experience.

The food was really good. The chips and salsa were mighty tasty. The enchiladas verdes were very flavorful. Definitely a place worth trying.

For 2 breakfast burritos, meat , potatoes & cheese was 28.00 then there was no cheese. Was a pick up order so didn't dis over until getting back. The girl at the front counter was less than pleasant and when I called to advise, all she said was," what do you want me to do about it" not in a very friendly voice. It's my theory maybe she is skimming off of the menu pricing as I did go back and was less than half of what was paid the first time

Quick service from a surprisingly large menu of offerings sums up this small family-run restaurant tucked behind a bakery southwest of Waco's downtown. The chips are served with a hot, tasty salsa. My pork with verde sauce proved to be delightfully spicy and tender, delicious with the house-made tortillas. It's cash only, so be sure to hit the ATM before stopping by.

The place feels like home, And the food is cheap and they give you a lot it is also very flavorful. And the salsa is amazing.

We stopped by for breakfast. This is family operated business. The parking is limited. Many people had called their order to the restaurant and took it to go. When you go into the front door you at the bakery. They have many types of Mexican sweet breads. If go straight back from the front door you go into the restaurant. We sat ordered and ate.

Our daily eatery, they always have huge smiles on their faces no matter the what the weather looks like outside. Mrs. Bertha is the kindest person and spiols my baby girl every time she sees her. Not to mention, the food is wonderful

Love this place. Wacos own hidden gem

I went to BU and have been going to this food truck since 2012, been here numerous times as a college student, and keep coming back even after graduation. Their burritos are fresh, large, great quality of meat and veggies, and always served piping hot. Their tortilla is soft and flaky, holds all the ingredients really well, and never gets soggy. The portion sizes big and totally worth your money. One of my fav places in Waco! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The only downside is they are open for limited hours and days, so def check before going.

When you're craving an authentic breakfast taco...THIS is it! 10/10 The flour tortillas are crispy and buttery and downright delicious. I love when bacon is chopped up and crispy (not the a whole long sloppy piece)

I’ve been going here for years. Consistently delicious.. made fresh, good tortillas. Kind owners, can’t go wrong here. Going there for breakfast in the morning.

Yes! 👏🏽 get some quesadillas, burritos, and tacos. No, not just one of those items… all of them! I haven’t had bad choice from here yet. I usually order one of each since I’m from out of town. I highly recommend and the employees who work there are very kind! They speak English and Spanish and take card and cash. So there isn’t any excuses to enjoy delicious Mexican food! It’s a little food truck that you can’t miss right in front of Dichotomy coffee shop. Plenty of parking and you can probably even eat there since there is one or two benches near by. Or you can be like me and go to lovers leap and have a picnic ! Enjoy!🌮🌯🌮🌯

Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. Started coming here in college and 10 years later I still make the trip from Fort Worth just for this burrito and no other reason.

The owner and gentleman that helped with my order this morning were great. I ordered a bacon, egg, bean, and cheese burrito. It was made fresh. The burrito was ginormous and tastes excellent. I added the green salsa. It was hot but had good flavor. Well worth the $.

Chicken Burrito, loved the tortilla, grilled meat and onions were great. Felt it had too much of rice and beans and would have like more of meat
