“My daughter, granddaughter and I visited Vida Agave on Saturday 3/22/2025 on my daughter’s recommendation. The staff were very friendly, the restaurant was bright and welcoming with large windows everywhere and the outdoor dining area was inviting. Our server, Lizeth Dargy, was very friendly and helpful. She recommended the seafood enchiladas for me. My daughter ordered the Birria Tacos and my 4 year old granddaughter ordered the corn dog from the children’s menu. Luis delivered the enchiladas to me personally and asked me to give them an honest review because he wanted to put them on the menu. Everything was delicious! I highly recommended that he put the enchiladas on the menu. I’m not a huge fan of tomato sauces so the sauce on the enchiladas was a welcome surprise. It was a light reddish color but didn’t have any tomato in it. It was bell peppers, cream, and other seasonings and it was very delicious with the seafood enchiladas. The Burria Tacos were equally delicious. The portions were also generous. Vida Agave was everything my daughter said it was and more. I will definitely visit again soon.“

“Excellent quality and quantity at a very good price“

“The food was amazing the Biria tacos was some of the best. So much meat in each taco 4 for around $10. I will definitely go back when in Galveston“

“Local Favorite.. international crowd when busy I’ve never come when the please wasn’t at least half full. Constant flow of customers. Very family friendly. Our favorite breakfast has always been the Estacion or Chorizo Plater (with refried beans, potatoes eggs, a Texas size in house made hot flour tolrtilla and salsa with coffee. Today I tried the Barbacoa. Yum!🤤“

“Incredible, I've had their authentic quesadillas, street tacos, tortas and their speciality hamburgesa. Never disappoints me. Some of the best on the island, and very true to most regional Mexican cuisine (not Tex-Mex, though I love that too).“

“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.“

“Excellent food, excellent service! Really enjoyed the experience we had. The price is budget friendly and the taste was so delicious! Not only will we return, we heartily recommend this little place.“

“Always great food and friendly atmosphere.“

“Recommend 💯!! Really good food!“

“Solid Mexican spot with a nice vibe and competent service. Huevos rancheros were just eggs in ranchero sauce with a tortilla on the side-not traditional, but the homemade flour tortilla was tasty. Potatoes are fresh-cut, not frozen, which is a plus. Decent overall.“

“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 .“

“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!!“

“Los Patrones is one best Tex Mexican restaurant we have ever eaten. Their dinner selections are the best. Our family had dinner and breakfast there. The barbacoa tacos were the best I ever had . The prices are very good. Highly recommend.“

“Your food and service was excellent...BUT.. .I would not eat there again. The windows were so filthy that I could barely see thru them. Where is your pride in keeping a great place for people to enjo“

“We just happened to find this place and it was such a great find! The salsa was amazing, we had a fantastic server, and the food was fantastic!! Will definitely go back when we're in town.“

“Bronco has been a Galveston staple for over 20 years for me. My first burrito still lingers in my mind, the flavor has never changed and I am so happy they are still around. I couldn’t imagine a better breakfast spot when in town visiting family and friends. My only “complaint” is that the salsa needs to be bigger. 😂“

“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 like their. Beef enchiladas and their guacamole salad“

“My mom & I favorite breakfast place. Food has such a great flavor with nice size portions. Erica is always so kind. Highly recommended!!🙂“

“If you're looking for exceptional Mexican cuisine and refreshing margaritas, Mr. Taco is the place to go. Their commitment to quality is unmatched! 🌮🍹“

“Best tamales!! Gonna try the bbq next time!!!“

“The pineapple is definitely for 2 and at a pricey $20 dollars they should offer this information upfront. However, definitely delicious and cost worthy for 2 plus people for sharing.

Kid-friendliness: Need to implement a public restrooms facility.“
