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!“

The food was exceptional, and the service was friendly and efficient.

Based on my experience, I would definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for great Mexican food.“

“We love their breakfast tacos“

“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.“

“Amazing food, and great customer service!! Love this place!! ❤️“

“The corn in a cup was delicious!! � I also recommend fruit bowl �“

“Food always great service great too prices are great“

“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!!!!!“

“I had the 4pc chicken tenders and fries. Man i was expecting puny little ole tenders like you normally get. Nope these were huge. You really dont need a side when you get the tenders. And you don't get just a measely hand full of skinny fast food fries. These are thick fries more like what you see in a steak house but still stick fries not wedges. They give you enough gravy to dip your tenders in and the fries (if you so choose) and still enough to lick out of the bowl it'sjust thick enough to stick but thin enough to drip a little aka just right. Seasoning was good too. Prices are good for the amount of food you get.“

“This quaint little taqueria and panadería has great food! I had the carnitas torta and my wife had the carne asada gordita, both were delicious. We grabbed a dozen pan dulces for día de muertos (and a couple for the drive home), they were really fresh and tasty. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. English is a second language for most of the staff, so be patient and be ready to point at pictures on the menu 👍🏼“

“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 food, Great atmosphere“

“Had a great experience at Chuy’s Harker Heights! Our server Mykah was exceptional! The food was delicious and service excellent.“

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

“Not my first visit to this establishment. Let’s face it, Taco Bell has been around for decades. For those, who don’t appreciate this chain, I’m guessing you had a bad experience at a particular franchise or simple do not have the taste buds for these flavors.

Either way, this one is clean, friendly and thousands of customers can’t all be wrong.
I have visited this one in Belton several times and have not been disappointed. Check it out.“

“This is seriously the only taco bell is the area I go to anymore. All the others try to give you sub standard food and gaslight you into being fine with it, but belton taco bell actually meets or exceeds standards. I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired of feeling robbed in the food market. This location hasn't done me dirty EVER.

Always a good time here.“
