“I work weekend doubles, it's one of the only places besides Taco Bell, Mc Donald's, and Whataburger that's open.
I stopped in on a Thursday night at 9:45pm because I had cash in my wallet.
Talked to the owner. This is his side hustle.
I got Barbacoa tacos.
AMAZING!!
Take cash! They're open late night Thursday through Sunday! In the Family Dollar parking lot.
Will go again!“

“Desde que llegué a vivir a Temple, este restaurante ha sido el lugar favorito de mi familia. Pero hoy tuvimos una experiencia absolutamente inaceptable. Conozco al gerente y, al llegar, nos colocaron junto a la puerta del privado. Ahí solo había dos comensales y el gerente, quien parecía estar de fiesta. Literalmente, los gritos y carcajadas no paraban y eran insoportablemente fuertes. Cuando la mesera se acercó, le pedí respetuosamente que cerrara la puerta de cristal para poder comer en paz. La mesera accedió y cerró la puerta, pero el gerente, el causante del ruido, le ordenó que la dejara abierta. En lugar de preguntar o disculparse, gritó que nos moviéramos a otra mesa. Esto es completamente inaceptable y una falta de respeto total. Solicité el cierre de la puerta de manera muy respetuosa, pero durante toda nuestra estancia, los gritos y risas del gerente y sus amigos fueron mucho más fuertes que la música del lugar. Que el gerente no solo genere tanto ruido sino que también maneje la situación de manera tan irrespetuosa es una vergüenza. El grito de "muévanse de mesa" fue un desafío y una muestra de que le molestó nuestra petición. Esto fue lo único que pedimos. El gerente nunca dio la cara y dejó que la mesera, quien seguía sus órdenes, manejara la situación. Es obvio que el ruido no se puede controlar al 100%, pero que el gerente sea el que genere el alboroto es inaceptable. Espero que esto llegue a oídos de los propietarios, la "Familia León". Es crucial que muestren respeto por quienes vamos a comer ahí y queremos hacerlo en paz. El ruido es entendible hasta cierto punto, pero que el gerente sea el responsable de semejante caos es intolerable. Esta situación es una muestra clara de una gestión ineficaz y una falta de respeto hacia los clientes. Espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que situaciones como esta no se repitan.“

“Their NEW CHICKEN BREAST plate is amazing! I am a Diabetic and they let me substitute the rice & beans to the grilled vegetables! So it's a great choice, amazing flavor on the chicken breast & grilled squash, carrots, Zucchini, cauliflower & broccoli! It's amazing!!!!!“

“We ordered a chicken taco and a barbacoa burrito. The chicken was seasoned very well and was delicious. The burrito so very tasty. There was so much meat in the burrito, I couldn't finish it. The gentlemen at the counter was very helpful. My wife and will definitely be going back.“

“We love Earnies, the food is always great. Customer service is a hit or miss, all the men are always very friendly and enjoyable. The women, not so much, they act like the customers are a bother. I’ll turn around and leave if I see them working, I’ll never pay someone to be rude.“

“Always great food! Guaranteed 👍“

“We are new to Jarrell and had been told their food was really good. They were so right 😁
The Carne Asada street tacos were excellent! Charo beans, just spicy enough.
The chicken enchiladas with in-house green sauce were amazing! Absolutely full of meat.
We are looking forward to returning to try the breakfast menu. I'll let you all know 😉“

“Great reliable Mexican restaurant with an amazing ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food! Highly recommend!“

“me and my friend have been going to specifically this location for the longest time and every time we go we always look for nate who’s the night shift lead. not only has he provided an amazing atmosphere for me and my friend to unwind in and just feel at home in, but no matter how good or bad of a day he’s had; he always keeps the work floor happy, efficiently working, and does so with impeccable customer service and attention to detail. this is why i generally only go to this location at night as it’s the only thing i ever really look forward to outside of getting food. :))“

“Michelle is a godsend. My dog jumped out of my car and was pinned under the car in front of us in the drive thru. Michelle on the late night crew jumped out of the window, lifted the car off my dog and saved her life all while taking orders and getting the line knocked out. Thank you for being amazing Michelle!“
