“I absolutely LOVE this place. It has been my favorite restaurant for years and I go almost every Saturday. The staff never fail to talk to me and remember who I am and the food is always amazing. As someone with a lot of social anxiety, I feel comfortable eating here because everyone is always so amazing. I bring all of my friends and family here and have never heard a bad word about it from anyone. I wish happiness on everyone who works here and know that those who eat here will experience that happiness as well.“
“My husband and I visited this place on a vacation. We typically try as many local Mexican restaurants as we can when staying a few days in a new town. After trying Mi San Luis, we didn’t even bother- we came back 3 times during our stay in Lufkin because you just don’t find a place THIS good very often. If they were located in our home town, we’d eat here all the time.“
“Good food. Great service.That being said: I wouldn’t choose to pay to eat here. The food is good but not spectacular. It’s a small location nestled down a one way dirt road and it’s the only Mexican restaurant in a 20 mile radius so considering all that-it’s great! But not as good as other places that are IN town.“
“Just stopped by to see what they have. Just moved out that way and pass it 12 times a week. Good little convenience store with Mexican restaurant. People were super friendly and helpful. Will use it for snacks and such going forward instead of the corporate giants and hope to get a meal there soon too.“
“We stopped here on our way home from houston. We were pleased. Our order was correct, tacos had a great taste, were warm, perfert sizing, overall 10/10. We ordered to go,fast service and great customer service. This was our first time and will definitely stop again when in town. Thank you!“
“I wondered what "The Best Mexican Food in Lufkin was." This place is good! The prices are great. I ordered chilaquiles although it wasn't on the menu. They brought out delicious housemade chips and salsa while I waited. The place was legit too-- the side chips even had a tiny potato spring in it. My breakfast was delicious. There were sadly no eggs, but the chips, beautifully crispy hashbrowns, well seasoned beans and hot corn tortillas were an AMAZING breakfast. 10/10 would definitely return.“
“Well, what a change from 3 color Tex Mex! It's a kind of build it yourself burrito with lots of fresh, colorful trimmings just like like you have it at home. The food is fresh, the services friendly, and everything isn't pureed beans of some kind, tomato sauce, or cheese in a plastic bag/gun. They don't have the standard menu items but this is worth a try. I'm just really tired of TexMex beans, chips and red sauce cooked ninety ways from Sunday, then given 90 different names. Sweet tea is better than average too“
“Love going here for the lunch fajitas. Birra tacos are awesome as well. I always get lunch here for my office. They love the steak fajitas as well. Salsa is good. White quest is good. Service is always consistent.Kid-friendliness: Friendly environment“
“My husband and I ate dinner on a Saturday night at Chick-fil-A. We went inside because we had been traveling in the car all day and wanted to stretch our legs. Everyone in the restaurant welcomed us and were very friendly. We ordered chicken strips and the cobb salad. They were delicious. Also, we wanted to try their peach shake and were so glad that we did. It was wonderful. We wanted to give a shout out to an employee named Melinda, who was very professional and answered all our questions. We certainly enjoyed our time spent talking to her. Thank you for hiring and training such hardworking respectful employees!“
“Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had. It's so good I keep wanting to go back for more. My husband loved the taco salad so much, he went back the next night and got another one to go. The chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce dinner was the best I've ever had. The chips and salsa were excellent. El Mariachi is now our favorite Mexican food restaurant. We can't wait to try more.“
“Awesome Mexican food! And El Coco Loco is inside too! Go for a good meal and get you some fresh fruit for dessert! I'll go by there and get fruit all the time. Don't forget your tamarinda powder!Vegetarian options: You can always get your plate with no meat on it.Kid-friendliness: They have fresh fruit and ice cream and yogurt! The little ones love going in there to get their ice cream cones.Parking: They have a pretty small parking lot. It's worth it to go there and eat though!“
“Delicious and good prices. Cash only but there is an ATM at the gas station right down the street if you forget. I got the 5 fajita tacos...comes with a small cup of pinto beans. Nice, clean, covered sitting area w some folding tables/chairs. Parking is a little tricky. Best to come in from the south entrance.“
“As someone who loves unique foods, this place is a huge sinful pleasure for me. I desperately love Rose ice cream and they have it! It! They have so many unique flavors, there's no way I can try all the ice creams. And that's not the only kind of dessert and foods that they have. Everybody in Lufkin and the surrounding areas definitely need to go to this place and enjoy everything that they have. If I could go here daily, I would.“
