“The food and service at Tortillas Restaurant is amazing!! I had the Chile Relleno with cheese (vegetarian options available, which was super nice!) and my husband had the Enchiladas de Mole with chicken - and both were delicious! The mole sauce is definitely of 5-star quality! It was all so fresh and authentic, with the foods being beautifully presented on the plates. I also highly recommend the horchata drinks there too!“

“The best food ever for Mexican food“

“Old school neighborhood joint! Perfect. Our server was always smiling. The cod tacos were great as were the rice and beans. Chips were thin and crispy. Scratch kitchen. And to make the experience complete, clean bathrooms. This business has definitely been cared for over the years. Nothing fancy. Just good food and service.“

“Good food I love the barbacoa yum 😋“

“Es todo bien. From the breakfast burrito to carne asada fries you won't be disappointed. There's a lot of competition for this flavor of food and this is the best in the general vicinity of Ramon and Date Palm. Honestly there are roughly 20 plus places to eat on any corner of Date Palm and Ramon. I always choose here for Mexican.“

“the best in town I highly recomend best birria ever“

“We’ve ordered from here several times. This is our go to place for excellent fresh high quality authentic Mexican food. Their chicken mole is outstanding, and the chicken fajitas are delicious. The fresh chips and salsa are top notch, fresh and delicious. I appreciate a full serving with rice and beans with each entree. And fresh tortillas. The price is an excellent value at about $18-$19 for each entree. You certainly get your moneys worth. We had margaritas at the bar. They were fantastic!
We usually pick up and take the food home. The quality is consistent and has always been fresh. Thank you! I highly recommend Taqueria San Miguel!“

“SUPPORT THIS LOCAL BUSINESS!

This place is affordable, delicious and serves huge portions. Period! Ignore the people saying otherwise in these comments...

My only feedback is the dining room gets a tad smoky on occasion due to the location of the grill.

SUPPORT THIS LOCAL BUSINESS! They went through a lot with certain ICEy activities in their parking lot. We need to rally around local business in the year 2026!“

“Great sea food place and great drinks“

“Excelente servicio y las pupusas bien sabrosas 👏👏“

“Come to this place for the El pastor tacos ($3.80ea). It’s the only place in the desert that does it the traditional way, on a vertical skewer. They don’t greet you with a hug when you come in so don’t expect that. In a valley full of mediocre Mexican food, this taco will set you free…“

“I stopped in to grab some lunch and noticed they had one of my favorite dishes on their menu. Camarones Ala Diabla, so I thought I'd give it a try since everything I've ever ordered from this place has always been delicious. Well I was not disappointed, there were plenty of shrimp in a spicy red sauce, served with rice, beans and tortillas. The sauce was very tasty without overwhelming me. Definitely going back for this dish and so much more!“

“This lady that manages this location I've seen of her working for del taco years and I'm Happy & I'm proud of her for actually having her own store now to manage. I don't know if it's her own store but she's running it well and the services always great, and their service is always speedy even when short staff !! We go for the Chili Cheese fries & the Burger .. mmmmmugh !“

“I LOVE La Cascada! It's a country club atmosphere (and we are members of Tapatio Springs CC) but the dining is open to the public. The views out to the golf course are beautiful, the atmosphere is modern and elegant, food EXCELLENT, and service also EXCELLENT. I had the pork chop...moist and delicious, also the mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Yum! I honestly think La Cascada is great, but ALSO the country club is the BEST VALUE in the hill country!! Hotel rooms and beautiful swimming pools, golf course, wedding venue. It's magical! Tell Becca in Membership that Cathy Newton encouraged to "come visit and consider joining!"“

“Best mexican food I've had in a long time, carne asada was bomb had that grill taste everything tasted so homemade fresh and truly authentic. they hook it up fat with the meat too... oh and the atmosphere is so welcoming and staff is super friendly. It's very refreshing in a world full of fake rn. If your near here you gotta come check it out. Won't be disappointed ? ?“

“Best lengua tacos. Started coming here as a kid with my family, maybe almost 30 years ago.

Handmade yellow corn tortillas, fresh baked goods and cakes every day, and my favorite tomatillo salsa ANYWHERE. Ah, memories. Pure nostalgia.

One thing to remember is that it's a Cash only establishment.

Worth it, great value and quality“

“I am new to this location and must write a glowing review for the outstanding experiences I have had. Most particularly to the morning crew with an honorable mention to Sandra. Truly all of the staff of this shift are fantastic and deserve much praise. They are all kind and caring and go above and beyond to offer value and exceptional service to their customers. The restaurant is super clean with a welcoming atmosphere. The food is fresh and delicious, authentic and like homemade. Now my #1 go to Del Taco in the valley. Highly Recommended!“

“So so so so so delicious! Love the tostada and salad bowls.“
