“after moving here from California 6 years ago it's been very difficult to find a restaurant that serves a good menudo. I've tried many many places. yesterday my husband picked up my menudo order from El Jilo, brought it home, and I finally found it. you make the best menudo. so flavorful and full of tripe, just delicious. in addition, fresh homemade corn tortillas. you can't beat it. will be coming back for sure.“

“my husband and were looking for a new place to eat and unfortunately we chose here due to it being right down the street from where we live. This establishment says they are open until 10, which they are not. When we arrived at the restaurant it was before 9 pm. There was not but one or two people inside the restaurant so I knew we would be in and out fast. The waitress seemed a little irritated, which I didn't understand at first, but now I realize it's because everywhere online says this restaurant is open until 10, but they close at 9. So when we arrived they should have actually been closing. I would never go to a restaurant right when they are closing. When we were leaving the establishment well before 10, we let the owner know the food was great and we'd be back. All he said was "yes we close at 9/920". I called the restaurant the next day to apologize for coming in so late because I would never do that, and let them know that the website says they are open until 10. The owner of this restaurant actually went off on me until the point where I was crying lol. 😅 (I've read before he was very ugly to his employees which is why he can't keep workers. Maybe why he's so short staffed?) He said I had no compassion for the employee he had making her stay late when she was sick, saying he's the owner and he gets to choose when they close daily, things of that nature. I told him I had no clue why he was going off on me when I called to apologize for coming in so late, and notify them they may need to update their times on the website. I was not trying to complain to anyone, not posting reviews, anything. Just trying to notify straight to him. I asked my husband to come in the room while I was on the phone with the owner, and THEN the owner started apologizing and asking us to come back. Then after ending the call because I was so upset, the owner tried to call me again. I called back to him and he again was apologizing asking us to come back, saying he was the owner and needs more workers, etc. While telling him why I was upset and why I would not be coming back, he handed the phone over to a waitress instead of talking to me about the issues. I apologized to the waitress because this is not her problem to deal with and ended it at that.“

Yum! And the workers are so nice and cordial. The owner, Jimmy, is compassionate for the business and success. While talking to him, he cordially broke away to help an elderly couple prepare their meal trays and be seated. Thank you Jimmy!“

“I just had some amazing tacos from Junior’s Taqueria!!! It’s been so many years since I’ve had their food and I’ll never wait that long again.

I was getting back in from Dallas and my stomach was starting to talk to me. Right then, I passed Juniors and happened to look over and see the open sign was lit up. I quickly turned around and made my way back.

I was immediately greeted as I walked in. I spoke with the kind lady at the front and placed my order. I then made my way over to my table. Within 10 minutes, my 3 tacos and 1 small quesadilla was being brought out to my table, along with their amazing green sauce.

I instantly dove right in. I squeezed some lime on everything and applied a few drops of green sauce to each item. It’s really good, but it has a kick for us wimpy folk. The lime really helps with that in my opinion. I piled on some perfectly grilled onions (I requested those when I ordered) and proceeded to dig in.

Absolute perfection!!! I enjoyed every single bite and I didn’t leave any behind. The meat was tender and juicy and the tortillas had a great texture. I’m really picky when it comes to corn tortillas, but these were excellent.

Be patient when visiting, as the family is currently going through a very rough time. Junior was an amazing person and it’s clear how much the community loved him. Y’all go show some love and support for this local business.“

“Excelente calidad y sabor de los antojitos y el servicio de la dueña y sus hijas es muy cálido, lo recomiendo ampliamente ��“

“pretty good food, but they only allow one napkin per person...do you know how greasy the street tacos are? That's being a little too petty“

“ordered dinner to go yesterday and One meal was all mixed together in one nasty mess. after digging through all that mess to replate it to make it a little bit more appetizing I found a toothpick in the food. This is a total hazard and can cause a lot of damage to somebody!!!!“

“Absolutely love this place! The food is super authentic and full of flavor. The atmosphere is warm and family oriented, which makes it feel like home. I highly recommend the red enchiladas with chicken so good. They also offer aguas frescas, coffee, and Mexican Coke to go with your meal. One of my favorite parts is the complimentary chips that come with three different types of salsa. Everything here is made with care and you can taste the difference. Definitely a go-to spot in Tyler!“

“Awesome people ! Awesome food!“
