“It is a nice restaurant with Mexican food that has flavor. There was no wait to be seated on a Saturday night, which was great. The prices are reasonable for food and drinks. There are also chips that come to the table, which I believe is a great idea while pondering on a food selection. There is a dish with grilled chicken and super delicious cheese with corn. I would highly recommend getting this corn and cheese as a side if you can. It would be well worth it to try. There is indoor as well as outdoor seating available. It can be a bit noisy but manageable. The only drawback for me is that they company would like you to use a QR code to look at the menu. Somehow, my phone was not working, and a menu was politely provided. Overall, the experience was good, and I plan on going back again. Oh, there are several shots that come out on a pinata, which seems interesting to try.“

“This isn't "pretty good food for the Valley", this is great food anywhere, period! The picanha can be chewed with your tongue it is so tender, and the squid ink risotto with octopus is something that will occupy your dreams later. The tasting menu gives the perfect amount of each course so you have a fighting chance to make it through the dessert round before throwing in the towel. What's even more impressive than the gauntlet of flavor, is the incredible service and attention you receive from the moment you walk in. Roberto makes you feel like you are a member of the family before you are even finished with the appetizer. His recommendations are spot on, and he leaves no question un answered. Truly a master at his craft! Highly recommended to anyone that puts quality, flavor, and service over cheap“

“My wife and I recently dined at Hacienda Las Mariposas, and our first impression was good. The venue itself has an elegant vibe to it, reminiscent of an old-fashioned, swanky Spanish homestead -- a place one does not go to parade their disdain for proper etiquette by wearing torn jeans or failing to remove their hat indoors. Suffice it to say, we had equally high expectations of the food and service.They did not disappoint.We ordered the mixed botana for two, and it was easily one of the best we have had in the RGV. The presentation was excellent, the fajita was tender and juicy, and the trimmings were packed with flavor. Our side dish of choriqueso was tasty as well, and the complimentary cheesecake (we were celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary) was the best we had in years. The whole table was a feast for the eyes, to say nothing of the palate, and the portions were such that we had plenty of leftovers at the end. Our waiter, I should note, was very attentive from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, offering us something like the royal treatment - as my wife put it - and in so doing earned our manifest appreciation (read generous tip.) Granted, it was not the busiest time of day, but for that reason alone the best time for dining there.All in all, we enjoyed the restaurant. We found it to be a perfect choice for the occasion, and I can see it becoming one of our favorite haunts. We might even dine on the patio next time, the views from which are nice enough to fill the pages of a scenic wall calendar. Give the place a try. We highly recommend it.“

Right off the bat potatoes looks dry but turns out they were pretty good, the chorizo egg they forgot my cheese they didn’t give me a receipt so I didn’t get to see if they charge me or not but it’s not a big deal but chorizo egg was actually really good . Salsa Verde is nice but the red salsa is hot. I walked in the atmosphere is very nice and clean. All in all I was happy with my breakfast tacos this morning.

From the time you walk in, through your meal and even on your way out. Our waiter was Cesar and he made everything special. We wanted a bowl of soup since it was cold and raining but no soups in the menu. Somehow Cesar made it happen after talking with the kitchen staff. Not only did he make it happen but it was one of the most delicious fideo soups we have eaten. On our way out Cesar followed us outside with an umbrella for it kept raining. Hopefully Cesar can get a raise. He certainly deserves it. Thank you to all the staff in your restaurant. Cesar is part of a great team. Congratulations.Tony Garcia“

“It's been way too long since we've eaten here and the food is just as good as we remember. All staff we encountered were very friendly. We were greeted when we walked in, immediately shown to a table, and Amado, our server, walked up to take our drink order. I ordered the Mexican plate and husband had the cheese enchilada plate. Food was excellent and this was a very good experience. As we left, one of the staff held the door for us and thanked us for coming.“

“Food is great but can’t say the same about customer service. Table of four and our food took over an hour to get to our table. Waitress was distracted having long conversations with manager instead of doing her job. Will definitely go back but will ask for a different waiter.“

“This is a one-stop and shop, and eat if you want kind of place. I didn't eat, I went for soap, but the food I saw looked really good. There is a meat market inside and a place to order food. It was super clean and organized, and the cashier was super friendly.“

Quesadilla

“I love this place. I’ve been going here for breakfast for about 8 years now and I love it every time. It’s a little different than other restaurants you might have been to but the food is great and so are the prices. I love the migas in red salsa and their chicharrón prensado with red salsa. Their barbacoa is delicious and is also sold by the pound even on weekdays. If you’re going there for Lucy their chiles rellenos are really good…my mouth is watering just thinking of it. It sucks that I’m too far away now to go back for more. I’ll be back soon.“

“I've eaten here several times and has always been a pleasant dining experience with my family but never reviewed it before. People complaining about the atmosphere are being dramatic, it's a Taqueria not a 5 Star Restaurant nor they claim to be so just come and enjoy the food and friendly service. I'm reviewing this time because these people are doing a good job and deserve a good review.Parking: Parking lot is part of the large strip mall.“

“I am in town for work and we stumbled across this unpretentious local restaurant that serves simple, delicious authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff (and other patrons) are super friendly and the atmosphere has the relaxed, welcoming feel of a neighborhood hangout. I would definitely recommend checking them out for a great meal and maybe even a little friendly conversation.“

“I’ve never heard of their specialty but after seeing the pictures, I had to try their papantecas. Be warned — they’re spicy, and that’s coming from someone who always asks for the hottest Mexican salsas at taquerias.The tortillas covered in the spicy sauce resemble the ones used in enchiladas rojas but the spices are hotter. I ordered it with deshebrada and it comes dressed with crema and queso.After you take your first bite, you’ll feel the heat in your mouth but it lingers in your throat. It helped to have some of their lemonade on standby!My boyfriend had the flautas, and they were everything you want in a flauta. The tortillas were crispy on the outside but the tender meat was moist inside. When you bit into it, it kept its integrity instead of breaking into pieces like other flautas. The toppings towered over, but it really helped ensure you’d get a little bit of the cheese, crema, lettuce, tomatoes and avocados in each bite.While we were there we watched Jumanji in Spanish on the TV and really enjoyed the experience. We look forward to coming back soon and hopefully push my heat tolerance a little further along. ?“

“Tacos, great!Service, great!Temperature, take a jacket!We went today. With temperatures this low, I recommend taking a thick jacket. They don't have a heated establishment--at least the one we were in. So we were shattering our teeth.However, about 10 minutes later, one gentleman placed a heater right next to us.We felt better, but still a bit cold.To the main point. The food was absolutely devine! A++ for having combos! The bistek had no fat, and the onion/cilantro were fresh! The frijoles charros were delicious.My friend and I are DEFINITELY coming back and recommending.Overall, 8.7--would be higher if we weren't freezing lol.“

“We always DoorDash from them. My mom loves it. She sometimes craves lunch for breakfast when she wants enchiladas or Entomatadas. Other times she gets huevos rancheros. I always get their Enmoladas. The only thing bad is when she craves their food after 3pm when they are already closed but other than that they are good.“
