“I absolutely love this place!!! Had some really bad queso and beef from a place by my new house last night so tonight I drove over n got some real queso and beef!!! The difference is astronomical!!! My husband says it’s magical lol!Wheelchair accessibility: It has a wheelchair ramp“

“Best Mexican food in town! The people are great and they are quick for dine in or carry out. Their charro beans are REAL charro beans. Everything I've had there has been delicious! I'll go out of my way to eat there.Comida mexicana verdadera. Todo está bien rico! Gracias por traer comida auténtica a Lubbock!“

“What an amazing place! You know it’s got great food when there’s a constant line from 11-2! Highly recommend this place! I always enjoy asking locals their favorite places to eat and this has been my go-to ask, when visiting new places!“

“Kevin and Amber were amazing and attentive! Super friendly and helpful. Amazing service! As for our food.... outstanding! My girlfriend inhaled her steak in under 10 minutes and my enchiladas were delicious. I loved that the steak was on top rather than inside, super yummy! This was our first time here and we will definitely be back!!“

“The #42 is out of this world. Always have enough to bring home and have a couple more meals. Yummy!!!! Chicken, beef, and shrimp over a bed of delicious rice, top with sweet green bell peppers and grilled onions. All of this is topped with melted delicious white cheese queso. Melt in your mouth great!“

“All im saying is you need to come here if you actually love Mexican food. As soon as I walked in through the front door I knew it was going to be authentic. From the Caldo de res to the massive birria tacos to the Elote everything was EXACTLY what i needed. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! I will only be coming here when in the area without a doubt!“

“Just passing through Lubbock last weekend. Absolutely best Mexican food we’ve had in a long while. My wife was impressed and she has a habit of snubbing her nose up at every Mexican restaurant we come across but not this one. We’ll be coming back for sure. Get the apple pie skillet for dessert simply amazing.“

“$38 for two? Yes please ? First off, the rice was fully cooked & tasted great (a lot of places tend to have some hard pieces, or it’s over cooked & soggy), $14 asada was delicious, $16 fajitas were amazing & it didn’t break the bank! Server was attentive, my glass was never empty. Will definitely come back and try their quesadillas next time.“

“OMG THE BEST BURRITOS EVER! Definitely go here on my leg days before hitting the gym in the morning! The women are also nice and they get the food to you super fast. The food is always 100% to.!!! And affordable definitely recommend this place!!!“

“The food and service is always excellent here. I am disabled so it is important to me that this restaurant is fully ADA. The only problem is that this place is always very busy. Everyone loves to come here because the service is consistently good and the food is very good TexMex. But if you want an out of the way spot with a laid back vibe, this ain't it. Thid is all hustle and bustle, turn and burn, eat and get out. The kind of vibe you'd find in a big city restaurant that is confident in its food and its servers.If you have friends in from out of town & you want to give them taste of real TexMex, this is where you bring them. They have actual chef specials that really taste like chef created dishes. The interior is nicely decorated with a Southwestern Aztec theme, not with a touristy fake TexMex theme like the dive down the street with a piñata in the window. Be prepared to wait tho, unless you have reservations. And take a rideshare over there if you can because parking is hell at the Lubbock location, even for the disabled. There just isn't enough parking for such a popular place. And if you take a rideshare then everyone can drink their wonderful margaritas & sangria!Abuelo's is a Texas chain but there is only one in Lubbock. The next closest one is either in Amarillo or Midland. I've eaten at an Abuelo's elsewhere and I haven't had a bad meal yet. So if you find yourself wanting some real TexMex, let me recommend Abuelo's.Parking: Difficult to find parking, but spots that are open are free. Many handicapped spots but usually all taken at lunch AND dinner. Would recommend taking a rideshare to restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: We had my mother's 75th birthday party here because it was the most ADA restaurant that we came across.“

“If you like Piña Coladas!! Although we weren't caught in the rain, it was pretty cold. Hanging out with friends from out of town, so we ordered chips and salsa along with Piña Coladas and a Blue Hawaiian. The Piña Colada was soooo good, I ordered another ?Parking: The parking lot is pretty huge, so we found a parking spot right away.“

“My experience at Joel's restaurant is great every time we go in there we're greeted and sit it down the food is excellent I will recommend Joel's restaurant to all of my family and friends people known and unknown even to my enemies you want good food forget all these big fancy restaurants Joel's not about all that Joel's restaurant is about serving great food and we will continue going there“

“An amazing experience! No wait in line. Booth was comfortable. Waitress was a delight! She checked on us several times. Food was delicious and served hot. Very good servings. Had to take a box home for leftovers. We each had a frozen large margarita with salt. Very, very good! Plenty of tequila.?“

“Couldn't ask for better flavor portions and quality of food. Chips and salsa are seriously lacking. ? Service is friendly and professional. The atmosphere is nice, except for the last visit. The music was so loud you couldn't talk to the person in front of you. Honestly kinda disappointed. I didn't get to fully enjoy our meal, the music was just too loud. We came back Dec 22'nd music is louder I think. And I'm hearing impaired, so that's pretty bad when music was too loud for me. My husband and I like loud music, but that was too loud. I'm sad, I like the music, but if they continue to keep it this loud, I'm afraid I'll need to go somewhere else.“

“We happened to find a place close to our hotel. It seems like an authentic place. The food was great. It's just I didn't know how to order and we did not know the portion is so big. It's a very small restaurant but it will make you feel you are in Mexico.“

“Great tamales!! Not sure why it's named a tortilla factory because they don't sell tortillas. They do sell tamales and masa to make tamales. They do have one table where you can sit and purchase a half dozen to try before you commit to buying a whole dozen. These are as good as my family in El Paso make!“

“Burrito Tower knows how to make some great breakfast burritos and a powerful green sauce! I just cannot give it five stars because they can't get to seem to be able to get the drive thru location or waiting area correct! You either risk getting rear-ended or get caught in a traffic jam.“

“Our waitress was rather slow and kept forgetting to bring things like coffee. My aunt's order sat in the window too long and was cold when she finally received it. They were not that busy until we were finished eating so I don't know what the problem was. Maybe she was fairly new.“

“I've been going to their snow cone stand in Slaton Tx since I was younger. Loved seeing there grandfather back then. Love their cherry lime ice there the best. So glad they brought their business to Lubbock. Spreading the word. May God bless this family annuall abundantly.“

“The chicken quesadillas were so good and flavorful, rice and beans were perfect and the sweet tea was delicious! My mom had the burger and fries and absolutely loved it, my aunt had the enchiladas and my sister the Chiles rellenos, both very picky and they loved their meals! We will definitely be coming back.Parking: There is plenty of parking right out in front of the restaurant.“

“Drinks and food are great! Staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable on the menu! Cameron was by far one of the best servers we’ve ever had, very attentive, gave great recommendations, and was super kind! Definitely will be eating here again!“

“Small Mexican Style eaterie with decor that screams refreshment. No wait service as you order at the counter then seat yourself. I ordered the Torta Cubana and was very pleased.The Telera bread was excellent and held together as I devoured the huge sandwich with spiced pork meat, shredded lettuce, guacamole, pickled peppers, cheese and other surprises. Paired with a strawberry fresca drink that made a very refreshing lunch on a hot summer day.“

“Picoso’s is a family friendly establishment that comes highly recommended by several family members and friends. We started off with the ‘Chilton Flight’, all four drinks were phenomenal! Not to mention they have a wide variety of tasty meals to choose from! Definitely stop by when you’re in the area!Parking: The parking lot is easy to get in and out of.“

“When you buy tacos on taco tuesday togo. They give you salsa. Not friday night with purchase of fajita plates? Also it be nice to have some togo cutlery. Just saying. Please correct and get on to your night managers and crew. Customer service will get your sales up. Dont settle for less!“

“I love this place. It would be the one restaurant I’d worship. Ode to Fuzzy’s. The shredded brisket nachos are absolutely to die for and can cure hunger, hangovers, hangry tendencies, and even keep a relationship together. I wanted to dump my boyfriend so badly and all he did was bring me to Fuzzy’s and said “eat me”. How could Fuzzy’s get any better? Richard. Talk about a stand up guy! This man is the most welcoming and professional hard-worker. I am always greeted with kindness and for that, I could eat fuzzy’s for the rest of my life.“

“Waitress Jillian was very nice and offered great service. Chips and salsa were tasty. Ordered a couple of appetizers; the fried mushrooms and the spicy breaded cheese curds. The mushrooms were really good, my husband thought the curds had a good kick and kept eating them I really enjoyed them as well. Main courses were the create your own combos. Rice and beans were delicious. Husband enjoyed his sauce less enchiladas (don't ask) and I got the sour cream chicken enchilada and chicken chile relleno which were petty good. Overall a great experience, would highly recommend visiting. I have been informed that I didn't even get the full experience because we did not play any games nor any drinks from the bar, per my husband.“

“We stopped at this little restaurant, Cha Cha’s Restaurant and it was amazing. I am totally surprised that it was empty at 1:30pm. The chips and salsa were great. Chips were hot and crispy, the salsa was fresh and not too hot but had lots of flavor. I ordered the beef enchiladas with red sauce and the hubby had menudo. He said it was some of the best menudo he’s ever had. Our server was super attentive and the owner offered us a sample bowl of some awesome fideo, it was super tasty. I highly recommend this establishment, the price was so affordable as the food was top notch. Will definitely be visiting again soon.“

“We ate here for lunch, never been here, so my evaluation was ok to try the food is good the service is very good and they are very attentive, professional and friendly. I had the carne guisada, and my wife had the huevos rancheros. Bathrooms are clean as well as the dining area. The salsa is good but thin and kinda watery. The flour tortillas are fresh, so they have to be eaten pretty quickly. Otherwise, they get hard on the edges. Very good prices for the amount of food you get. It's worth a try, many good choices of food. The rice is ok, the beans are good but the carne guisada is great, so tender.“

“So my experience may be alittle unique. I used to live in utah, and we have costa vidas all over. We moved to Oklahoma, and unfortunately discovered that costa doesn't exist there! I'm a pilot, and own a small airplane. So I decided to fly to Texas to surprise with wife with costa (she loves it, and talks about how much she missed it). When I arrived the costa crew was so kind! I asked if the could separate the hot and cold ingredients, because I had to fly back to Oklahoma with them. They were very attentive, kind, and willing to help! Thank you to the crew of this costa vida!5 stars for sure!“

“A Lubbock classic. This restaurant fills up quickly for lunch so get here early. The food is great, the chips are thicker than I'd like but there are several dipping options. Definitely a good place for traditional Mexican food when in Lubbock.“

“Everything was good till it was time to pay they have daily specials one of the specials said $6.99 it was a breakfast item breakfast is serviced all day. We were charged regular price for the special when I brought this to the waitress attention she told me it was for breakfast only, I told her breakfast is all day and it on the board she said they forgot to erase it, I told her they should still honor it since that's what it says, she became argumentive and said she's just a waitress she can't change it. She did say she will ask the owner son but she didn't know what the big deal was about and that I was inconviencing him. She did get him he came out he was super nice and said they forgot to erase it but he would give me that price, which I greatly appreciated but the waitress never came out to apologize or anything for her attitude at checkout. The young man was very kind and professional.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of highchairs“

“Rosa's Cafe tortillas factory is a very large restaurant, beautiful, tidy, its decoration escapes the imagination with its colorful chairs and wooden tables and talabera tiles, its beautiful walls decorated with good taste, you receive a quiet and pleasant atmosphere with its background music, its cleanliness and its climate in general, I ordered some eggs rancheros and I was surprised because apparently here they are different from all the other places I have visited, but despite everything I liked the delicious combination of chorizo, potatoes, scrambled egg etc, the food had good flavor and was fresh, their prices are the best, I will definitely return for more options.Parking: Enough space for everyone.Wheelchair accessibility: Enough space inside the restaurant and several spaces outside in the parking lot“

“I ordered the enchiladas potosinas and maaaan. They were delicious!! Authentic Mexican food, good salsa, spicy enough. I would definitely come back to this place. Delicious delicious delicious! My friend got the mar y Tierra plate and it looked so good too!! It comes with a separate cup of ceviche too! This place is a gem ?“

“What a great find ! Chips and hot sauce are oh so good ! The stacked enchiladas did not disappoint! Neither did the chicken enchiladas ! The guacamole was also very good ! It's a great menu with lots to choose from ! We will be back to keep trying the items ! They all sound so good ! The atmosphere is nice and the service was good both times this week !“

“Excellent everything here today. The chips were thin, warm and crispy. The salsa tasted wonderful. The queso was so good, best I have ever had. Service was prompt and attentive. The Fajitas were perfect, the flavor and seasoning of the meat and veggies were a party in my mouth, just right amount of grill time, not to crunchy or soggy. And folks can mess up rice and beans....but not these folks.“

“This is the best food truck in Lubbock for Mexican Food and Tacos. The food is clean and tastes very authentic. The lady's serving are super friendly and you can tell they care about the quality of food they're putting out. I'm going to be hard pressed to go anywhere else in Lubbock from now on. This place is a true GEM!!! Menu is straight forward and even their sides are quality and AMAZING!!! I doubt I'll go anywhere else from now on...“

“I wanted to brag on the staff. I placed a big order the day before Christmas Eve for pick up on Christmas Eve and it was ready right on time with everything I needing, The young man even carried it out to my car for me. The food was excellent and even came with serving spoons and tongues. 10/10 recommend!“

“Tacos are amazing very authentic soft corn Tortilla tacos. Tripitas are clean and well prepared. Costumer service is awesome very friendly and informative. 10 out of 10 best tacos I've had in lubbock so far. If you are looking for authentic Mexican street food this is the spot. Especially for the late night munchies after the club or bar.Parking: Located in a parking lot sort of small but plenty of parking at the other stores.“

“I got a potato, egg and cheese burrito and it was fantastic. It wasn't bland or over seasoned. The tortillas were perfect. The only down side is since they're made at order and not pre made it takes a little bit. I recommend calling your order in.“

“This experience was amazing. After a long day I went to Autlans not expecting much, yet I had an amazing time and the people were super interactive and the food was amazing. Bartender by the name of Trey I believe was amazing. Always asking me about my needs and being super sharp about my orders. Overall an amazing experience and amazing bartender.“

“My husband and I came from Fort Worth Texas to visit Lubbock. We wanted to eat some elotes in a glass and through Google we arrived here at Súper Elote ? The place is small but clean and pleasant, in addition to Elotes they sell other Mexican foods?? we ordered some Quesadillas from Huitlacoche to try them since where we live they don't sell them, They were delicious, they are the best quesadillas I have ever eaten in my entire life ? and the Elotes in a glass were delicious!!! The prices are reasonable and the customer service is excellent, without hesitation we will return to try the cakes, tacos and pambazos ?? I give them their well-deserved ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!“

“We visit Lubbock often and absolutely love Burrito King. The food was delicious... and the service is outstanding! Shout out to Bernice (I think that was her name) She made us feel like we were eating lunch at our family's house. Highly recommended!“

“The experience was fantastic!!Ordered from the Street Taco menu and they were perfect, love the corn tortillas. The service personnel are just great. They checked on us at the perfect time were extremely friendly.Definitely on my Tex-Mex place list when I get to Lubbock.“

“First time stopping by and i’m beyond happy! I love a real and authentic aqua fresca and to get one that tastes so good at a real good price and to be helped by the sweetest little girl. I swear she has better customer service skills than most adults in this town! Thanks guys! ❤️☺️“

“As I stepped into Roberto's Taco Shop, a rush of nostalgia flooded my senses. The aroma of sizzling meat and spices instantly transported me back to my Tia's kitchen from my childhood. It was as if I had stumbled upon a culinary time machine, promising to whisk me away to cherished memories of family gatherings and comforting flavors, especially with their burritos!“

“Me and my family always go here if we have Mexican food. The wait staff is always super nice, always quick with everything. The food is always great and out quick. And for what you get, the prices are very reasonable!! I always recommend this place and I will probably be back in the next few weekends with my family.“

“Great authentic Mexican Food, Mexican music jamin, be careful they're big portions, food is delicious, good price. Service is good and the atmosphere is welcoming. Gotta be the best Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Lubbock. It's very clean.“

“I do a burrito run for my job every once in a while and i always order it ahead cause it’s usually a big order but with multiple transactions… the staff is always so polite and friendly and they always thank me for coming by and supporting the business…“

“They got their chimichanga with care asada. They're not stingy on their portions, and they are well with their money. The meat is tender, and the rice and beans are good. The chimichanga is nice and crispy. Add some of their red salsa, and you're eating well. Highly “
