As soon as we walked in we were greeted very friendly and with a nice smile. Maria our server was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was just fabulous, it had a very Mexican home made flavor cooked meal. This was our first time walking into the restaurant but it definitely won't be the last, this place it a must have if you're in the Galveston area. We highly recommend eating here if you're looking for an authentic Mexican meal.“

“Chef Mary Bass is hands down, THE BEST! The first time we met was during a tasting for my daughters wedding. Wow! Completely blown away by the food, staff and especially Chef Mary Bass’ herself. What an awesome person. She assured us she would keep that buffet moving as she served our guests and she did! The food was so hot & so fresh- not to mention those Good Dough Rolls! Chef went table by table to make sure everyone was happy and well fed. I could not recommend this precious, talented woman more! Thank you Chef Mary Bass!!“

“On 9/13, the Ball High School Class of 1992, participated in the annual Ball High School Alumni Picnic at Kempner Park. Our class chose fajita meal for our food and Aceituno’s was recommended by our classmate, Destin Simmons. I communicated with Kendy through Facebook and she helped me get our order in. I do not live in Galveston but, she truly assisted with making sure our order was prepared and delivered on the event date. Delivery went well and our class enjoyed the food. Thank you Aceituno’s for giving us a wonderful food and customer service experience. 💜💛 -Ball High Class of 1992“

“I’ve had both breakfast and lunch here. The food is so fresh and hot when it comes to the table. Barbacoa is delicious. The fried papas that are served with your breakfast are mouth watering. The tortillas are amazing. Servers and staff are top notch!“

“I usually go for breakfast and it’s speedy service with a quiet atmosphere. The style definitely reminds me of restaurants in El Salvador, very homey. I love the food, they don’t cheap out on the sauce and always give me a good amount. I will say their sauces are super spicy which isn’t a bad thing but not my forte, it is my boyfriend’s thought he loves it.“

“Always great food and friendly atmosphere.“

“First time we’ve checked this place out! If you blink you’ll miss it. Small hole in the wall atmosphere. I had the huevos rancheros and husband had Migas Mexicans, our standard by which we measure TexMex. The ranchero sauce was different and delicious, a bright orange color, thick and creamy and not outrageously spicy. A huge platter for $10! Refried beans were spectacular, great flavor. Homemade tortillas! Eggs a la Mexicana very spicy. Cooked to order and served piping hot. No pix because we were hungry! We’ll be back to try the enchilada breakfast.“

“Good for a quick lunch or snack. The hot Cheeto boudin balls are excellent. they had a cheesy center that had no business being that good lol. Make sure you bring cash and are prepared to eat on the go or in your car there is no seating. But they have a great burger and fries that's under 10 bucks .“

“The food was plentiful and tasty and the tortillas were home made and good flavor we would do a return for breakfast looking forward to trying their lunch eggs and pork chops were delicious I could only imagine how the ribeye special tastes they also have weekly specials great price’s“

“My husband and I came after a long day at the water park for a evening snack. We ordered two elotes and a watermelon agua. They were both delicious! The elotes had a perfect balance of mayonnaise and cheese. The location is right infront of the beach so the view is great. We enjoyed watching the helicopters land and take off. Although a bit over priced, it was a great refresqueria. We will be coming back.“

“I have been to Las Lazos numerous times and have always enjoyed the food. Went last evening for my birthday and had excellent service from Carolina. We each had a wine margarita which was very good. We ordered Tilapia Chipotle which had a tasty shrimp sauce and a side of Charro beans. I tried Taquitos Chilango with Charro beans for the first time. Will definitely order this dish again. Finished with freshly made Churros and Sopapillas. Have dined there about once a month because the food is fresh and well-prepared. They have karaoke night every Friday for those who can (or cannot) sing.“

“This restaurant elevates the common Tex-mex nacho to a whole new level by the the freshness and flavor of the ingredients. The Carne Gisada is so deliciously satisfying and my only regret is the the portion was larger than what I could consume in one sitting. The tomatillo salsa is fantastic! Will definitely be back on my next trip to Galveston!“
