“Finally found real micheladas!! This place is so delicious and authentic. The enfrijoladas were delicious! The chicken enchiladas verdes were so delicious, they tasted like the real deal. The service was super nice and helpful. Regarding prices, it is a bit on the higher end but it is definitely worth it.Vegetarian options: Enfrijoladas are delicious! Corn tortillas with beans and fresh cheese sounds simple but tastes amazing.“
“Delicious! My wife and I ordered the tinga chicken tostadas and asado de puerco verde (pork tips) and they were very tasty! Their salsas bring a good heat and flavor to the beans and rice as well. All around very happy and plan to come back!“
“I got couple of chalupas they were very good. The packaging was awesome they put only beans and meat on the tortilla and the tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and sour cream were separate in the carryout dish for self application. Yummy ?Parking: There are a few parking spaces but I chose the drive thru instead.“
“As far as the service rating it's based on our server: Letty, she's awesome, very attentive and professional and friendly, we always request Letty. We have had another server and that experience was very bad, she was forgetful, took forever to bring us napkins and got our order wrong. So if you do come to eat here make sure you request Letty, she will take great care of you and make sure that your eating experience is perfect. Now as far as the food... The salsas are great, the chicken quesadillas are great when they are made correctly, there have been a couple of times that I order them, but they did not put enough cheese or chicken in the quesadillas. We have ordered a few of the other plates and they are good. Really the only reason I placed this review is because I wanted to give Letty a 5 star review for her service, she truly deserves it. Great job Letty (now we just need to get her schedule so we know when to come eat here to get great service). Otherwise the food is good as long as the consistency is constant, which on since plates it's not.“
“Always good food and great margaritas. Just be careful not to eat to much .lolParking: They got front and a large area to park in the backKid-friendliness: Definitely good my son and his girlfriend set at a table together. My daughter a d I set at another . SmilesWheelchair accessibility: Easy to get in front and back doors“
“The staff is friendly, the food is sooo good! Everything comes out fresh and fast. I had the carne guisada plate(in the picture i put all that pepper on it myself, it doesn't come like that). I absolutely love the carne guisada but I will say it's not "traditional Mexican" tasting but it's good. My favorite thing is the beans though, they are the perfect consistency and taste so very good! They are open for breakfast but I have gone twice for breakfast and there was nobody there which I can't understand because the food and drinks are great,the staff are nice and the restaurant is very clean and well lit. Go try it!“
“Stopped in for breakfast. Our first time here. Visiting for the weekend. My brother-in-law suggested coming. Great choice. Had the Barbacoa and egg breakfast. Delicious barbacoa, eggs done right, good beans and crispy potatoes. A wonderful meal. Our server was very attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed, and kept checking on us for coffee refills.“

“Beautiful selection and variety, excellent quality, good customer service. Prices are very reasonable and lower than places I've seen who sell lower quality products.I returned today and made my purchases. If I could fit more in the car I would! I'm bringing home gifts for family and they are excited to see their gifts!Seriously you need to see this place. The owner and her assistant are so friendly and helpful. I'll be back next time I'm in town.“
“Great 2 person staff. Food was amazing but if you wanna watch h ya waistline n arteries definitely not place for a daily meal. Flavorful and now I don't have to drive to SA for the Ramen, next best thing and in town 15mins. A must try. Also after this week Feb 3 2024 they will be Cash Only no CashApp.“
“Loved the decor. So colorful and it looked like it was all hand made/painted. I appreciated that.Staff was sweet and attentive. The atmosphere was naturally lit and it wasn't too busy for being 11 am.Food:I usually get flautas whichever Mexican restaurant I go to and I can see myself coming back for these specifically. Good size plate for a 5'2 woman. Wish there was queso fresco on top know that I'm thinking about it.Got the agua de melón which was pretty good, and not too sweet. More natural the better for me“
“We've lived in Corpus Christi for over a year now and couldn't find Mexican food we're accustomed to, especially menudo. We've had it twice now here and can honestly say it's the BEST, BEST, BEST!!!! We ordered carnitas and they were delicious. Of course the selection of sweet bread is amazing. I found my go to little hole in the wall. They're terrific.“
“my boyfriend and i love at the apartments next door and go often. we always get the same two waiters and they are oir absolute favorites. they remember our orders and are super friendly. the food always comes out AMAZING. our favorite restaurant in all of town “
“WOW!! Anyone hungry for good food should stop by Garret’s BBQ. Brisket was so tender, so juicy, so full of flavor, NOT so peppery flavored like some places and just delicious! The bbq sauce only enhanced the great flavor we were already enjoying but you really don’t even need the sauce to enjoy this bbq. My husband suggested we try this new place on Holly Road and I’m so glad we did. We’ll definitely be back to try the ribs ?“
“We heard about this place a year ago. finally made it back to Corpus Christi and couldn't leave Corpus before visiting Chacho's. The food was excellent. The staff was very friendly and can't wait for our next trip down. We got the Chacho's Almighty chicken fried steak with Fries smothered carne guisada and “
“Monica's Authentic Restaurant exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. As for the food, it was nothing short of fantastic. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection.Despite its unassuming exterior, Monica's is a true hidden gem. Don't let the 'hole in the wall' appearance fool you – once inside, you're treated to an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Monica's Authentic Restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone craving delicious, authentic cuisine.“
“Food was amazing and affordable. Small inside, no tables but bar style seating all around the perimeter indoor walls. Was a bit warm inside, they did have a fan running, but I think most people take it to go and I can understand why. Food was so good tho I know I'll be back for more. Definitely a new favorite! ??“
“Outstanding food cooked fresh to order. This visit I tried their Beef Enchiladas lunch plate. They were FANTASTIC and among the best I've ever had in the Corpus Christi area. And their frijoles (refried beans) are among the best I've had anywhere. They are homemade from scratch every day.“
“We were on a recent vacation in Corpus Christi. This restaurant listed in top 10 of Corpus Christi. We chose an early evening/ late afternoon meal. This is not TexMex, but features traditional Mexican food from Mexico. Restaurant is located in a strip mall and not very big. I felt I was at a fine dining experience. Lovely restaurant and wonderful ambience. Service was excellent and personal. Our server suggested a selection that allowed a tasting of more than one item. We could select two items, our choice of type of tortillas and either black beans or charro beans. Rice came with the meal also. We were also given a soup in this selection or we could select another soup for a slight increase in price. I couldn't find this on the menu online to describe better. We were there at 4:00 pm and perhaps it was a lunch offering. Our individual meal selections were around $12.99/person. Three sauces were served on the table with our meal....a red sauce, a verde sauce and a habanero sauce. All were delicious. We opted for a tortilla soup and a poblano soup and although the entire meal was unbelievably delicious, these 2 soups were outstanding and so delicious we couldn't put them down!! We did order dessert which was the only thing disappointing about our meal. They were out of flan. I ordered a tres leches which was a cuatro leches on their menu. My friend ordered pineapple upside down cake. They were both very dry and not that great. Forget dessert. I highly recommend this traditional Mexican restaurant. Food, ambience and service were outstanding!! Go if you are in Corpus Christi!“
“Nice relaxing atmosphere on a Saturday morning with music playing in the background of Vicente Fernandez. The breakfast plates were delicious! The server was pleasant. Came on the weekend of SandFest to enjoy and this stop was a great start of the day. Dined in. Very clean A+“
“Small place, big flavor. Everyone is friendly and service is great. The queso came with the free chips and salsa. I was surprised considering no one gives you anything like that for free. Portions were big and prices were very, very affordable.Parking: Enough parking. Restaurant isn't too big so if there isn't any parking, chances are there isn't a table available but you should wait because it will be worth it.“
“ExcellentParking: Enough parking spaceKid-friendliness: “The roast chicken is excellent, flavorful, comes with mashed potatoes, rice, charro beans, all in generous quantities and at a very good price” ?Wheelchair accessibility: Excellent“
“Really good food, really good service, really clean place. Many choices for breakfast or lunch and there’s something for most everyone’s taste, even kids. Good flour tortillas here, no rubbery store bought stuff. Several different salsas brought to the table. Hight quality coffee and the keep your cup full and hot. Great place to eat, I recommend.“
“Breakfast was good. I enjoyed the chips with beans/salsa. The biscuits and gravy were a tad disappointing due to tasting like restaurant supply food. My friend enjoyed her eggs, bacon, and toast. I will definitely return due to the service and the other good choices for breakfast.“
“Let me tell you about the waitresses. In this place, they were super beautiful. So what helped out that the food was super good too?Vegetarian options: I know they had ketchup packets and mustard packets for the vegans 50 packets, if I'm not mistaken.“
“The food was alright.The servers were friendly,but in a we want customers but dont really care way.Most of the tables were infront of a door or by a door. The door to go in,the door to go out, the door to the employee room. Place was clean. Atmosphere friendly.“
“Great food. Probably the best huevos rancheros plate we've ever had. The beans, omg the bean are SOO GOOD! So much flavor! And the rancheros sauce is fantastic!Did not like that bacon or sausage is NOT offered with the meal. And the coffee cups are waaay too small. Waitress was so accommodating, always a refill!“
“Being visiting this place for years and their breads are always good. I always order my "Rosca de Reyes" here. The only place were they put candied fruit and cinnamon inside. This year, they finally granted my deepest dream and added a lot of that concha style crumb on top!!They made me so happy that I finally came to leave a 5-star review!! Yeeeei“
“Absolutely delicious! The tacos at Mi Casita are a must-try. The variety of toppings provided were excellent, perfectly complementing the flavorful and fresh taste of the corn tortillas. The salsa was just right, adding an extra kick to each bite. This spot truly hits the mark for anyone craving authentic and mouthwatering tacos!“
“I highly recommend Eddie's it's a very welcoming restaurant. They treat you like family. Very reasonable prices and delicious, mouth watering food. God ? bless Eddie's restaurant and the owners as well as all their employees. They put their heart into making their food. Love it.Parking: Parking is no hassle for me. Always packed with customers but plenty of parking. That's how good their food is that it's always packed. I have not ever had a hard time locating a parking spot.“
“I can't speak to the atmosphere because I always order for takeout sometimes I'll have coffee while a wait but my food's always ready before I can finish.The service is quick and they are very nice. The food is excellent and the prices are great as well.If I may recommend the Mexican hamburger it's not only delicious but enough for two.“
“10/10 the service was pretty fast good customer service. The food was really really good and reasonably priced with good portions. We actually came from Houston and were looking for a late night bite and honestly we were impressed. If we ever come back to this side we will definitely make a stop here especially for the tripitas here they were so soo good and crispy!“
“We initially were hesitant to eat here because it looked more like a fast food place than a sit down restaurant (it has a drive up window), but I'm glad we took the chance. This is basic Tex-Mex but it was very good and very filling. We both had beef enchiladas and they were as cheesy and greasy as you'd imagine. We also tried the house margaritas which were fairly strong, but it was obvious they used a mixer rather than real lime juice. They tasted a lot like kool-aid! Overall, we were satisfied and would go back if we were in town again.“
“Mexican hamburgers are A1 every item on this menu is A plus you can't go wrong don't let this one pass you by don't let it given this place a try will guarantee you come back the staff is real helpful and friendly always willing to “
“Thank you to Norma and the rest of her employees for their service. I love getting the fresh fruit tray for my work luncheons from there. Lots of fruit for the price compared to other places. I love the watermelon agua fresca too. It's refreshing and delicious.“
“The buffet was great, I 1st. Ate there 3 yrs ago, kept thinking about about the cut up steak in red sauce hopefully returning to corpus Christi to go again, and finally arrived there hopefully it's still there I thought, and it was ! Again I ate the cut up steak, WOW !!! Still the “
“Love that you can create your own stuff when it comes to things they sell for example they have a raspanieve with is shavedice with ice cream. I asked what flavors they informed me whichever icecream fruit or shaved ice flavor they have. I asked can i have a limin con pepino raspanieve so is lime ice cream lime snowcone with cucumber and of course chamoy! And they made it for me!!!! So creat that some of their Items they make their own. Im the first to order a different type of. Flavor. And is actually ?“
“(Translated by Google) Delicious carnitas, the buche, the cueritos, pork rinds with meat ????. Highly recommended, Delcious all.(Original)Deliciosas las carnitas, el buche, los cueritos, chicharrón con carne ????. Súper recomendable, Delcious all .“
“When I tell you this is the best Jalisco I've been to I mean it! This one is even better than the one's near my area which is impressing when I came here I had some chips and salsa as well as a sausage and bean taco the chips were crispy just as they should be they were also warm the salsa was complimenting to the chips with a good amount of flavor but now onto the taco the sausage was flavorful and savory the beans were also very flavorful with the right amount of saltiness I didn't have to worry about adding extra salt to anything and the Tortilla my goodness the tortilla is was SO good it was to the point you can tell that it was homemade and made fresh in the restaurant very soft and definitely was worthy of tastiness my mother also wanted me to type her opinion by saying the carne guisada was by her the best that she's ever had here! To conclude everyone in my family loved their meals they were so delicious and I would recommended this place to anyone! It definitely needs more recognition (^^)“
“Delicious food for more than reasonable prices! The restaurant walls are super cute inside too. I had the Diablitos Rancheros - bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with jalapeno and cheese, rice, beans, and lettuce. Portion was generous for a great price, and the dish came out looking as advertised on the menu!“
“It is one of the top restaurants that serve great fresh barbacoa. But that's not all! Taquitos and other Mexican dishes are also served. Overall, the food is great. Has been a local favorite for years. Oh, and did I mention the homemade flour tortillas are one of the best in the city.“
“The absolute best Mexican food in Corpus Christi, yes I said it because it's true! Hands down our favorite place to go, friendly staff amazing food!Kid-friendliness: Staff is very friendly to kids and they have a kids menu and special everyday.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and access“
“Great little taco place. Stopped here for a breakfast taco. The staff was friendly and the taco was tasty. They told me that after I had the hot sauce, I would start speaking Spanish, at least that's what another customer translated for me, lol“
“9/10 times the tacos are amazing and today was no different. But the size. There was definitely a difference there. I kid you not the taco on the left was as thick as a hotdog in a tortilla and the other was made just the slightest bit thicker. Again usually they're on top of their game but idk what happened today.“
“Oh, buckle up, my friend, because I recently embarked on a culinary adventure at the Taco Bell on Saratoga that left me questioning the very fabric of burrito reality. I ordered their bean burrito, and let me tell you, it was like a flavor fiesta in my mouth – a fiesta attended by beans, cheese, and a sprinkle of cosmic joy.The burrito was so generously packed that I momentarily considered using it as a makeshift dumbbell for my next workout. I unwrapped it with the excitement of a kid on Christmas morning, only to be greeted by a burst of beans that rivaled the excitement of a confetti cannon at a party. I'm convinced the chef was a bean virtuoso, orchestrating a symphony of legumes that danced on my taste buds like they were auditioning for a talent show.But let's talk about the service – it was so prompt that I wondered if they had a teleportation device in the kitchen. The staff was faster than a ninja on roller skates, and friendlier than a Labrador at a tennis ball factory. They handed me my burrito with a smile so wide, it could rival a Cheshire cat – though I'm pretty sure it was the burrito that had them grinning from ear to ear.In conclusion, the bean burrito at Taco Bell on Saratoga is a work of art, a culinary masterpiece that deserves a place in the Louvre of fast food. The service was so good; I half-expected a red carpet to be rolled out as I exited. If laughter is the best medicine, then this burrito is the cure for any case of the munchies. It's bean-tastic, and I'd give it a standing ovation if I could still stand after devouring it!Just saying pretty good burrito.Love you Taco Bell on Saratoga.“
“This place is unlike any other. I moved out of town and still can't find a tacos this good. I come down to corpus and my breakfast each morning is their tacos. I love their other foods as well, I normally get their enchilada plate. I've never had one bad experience. I appreciate the people who work here, they're very kind and quick to get you your order.“
“Very delici-oso fo sho!!! When I come back I’m definitely going to make sure to come get another taco!! They were fresh, hot, quick, and tasty! They didn’t stand a chance against my family’s hunger!! It’s small and quaint in the best way!! And the salsa was really good!!“
“Don’t come here!!! the hood is sketchy, the building’s are unwelcoming.you would never think to go here on your own. The staff and food is amazing. The prices are unbelievable. You should tip no less the 25% and will still have one of the least expensive meals in town. So don’t come here especially if you are a hipster you will ruin it.“
“I ordered for delivery on Favor. It was a quick delivery and the food was hot when it got to my house. The food was pretty good overall. I thought the fajita meat could’ve had a bit more flavor, but it was still good. The rice and beans were great. The price of the food was excellent for the portion size. They were also very generous with lots of utensils and napkins“
“What a place! Was looking for a traditional dinner to make me visit to Corpus Christi complete. I found it at Andy's kitchen. I was there with my friend for breakfast and everything was amazing from the food to the people at the service even down to the decorations.“
