Lunch is the best time to go. Always fresh food and they will accomodate changes to the menu with a smile. Salsa is really good. My wife and i have been going here since 1985. Some things never change...and thats not a bad thing. Wheelchair accessibility: Access is good

Worst Tex Mex in Southeast Texas. Fajita Skillet you could grab when served, peppers and onions were raw. There was A. Tostada underneath the peppers and onions when served. You could literally grab the meats and hold them in your hand when served. The chicken was dry and hard, the beef was lukewarm and no flavor to it. Neither is chicken. When she asked me if I said everything was okay I said no. I grabbed a piece of fajita meat and held it and showed her how cold it was. She asked me if I wanted it. Reheated and I said no. I wasnt staying long enough to worry about that. The best thing about the meal was the margarita. It was very good. I will never go back to this restaurant again

I eat here once or twice every week. It s always consistently good. Their super deluxe nachos are my favorite. The caldo is also delicious. Really can t go wrong with anything. Just good Tex-mex in a local historical restaurant. Check the hours - it s family run so they aren t open late hours on Saturday and are closed on Sundays. Parking: Parking lot next to restaurant, plenty of spaces

It might just be me. I like how they include the cinnamon sugar fried tortillas with the chips and salsa. The carne guisada is pretty good. Id asked about what the gravy was made of/from, and the waitress was unsure. I have intolerances to quite a few food items, and Id prefer more description. The rice and beans are standard, but great. This restaurant has been here as long as I remember with the double-front car. My mom really loves it!

Tacos Al Carbon aren t Al carbon. More like skillet. The tortilla de harina/flour aren t real but store bought not homemade. Was really excited to try this place. Houston has way better Mexican food than PA area. The meat quality is good though and green salsa is good too. The Charro beans tasted like regular beans with salt and garlic only. There was no onions, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, pork meat or skins. Those aren t Charro beans Taco Rey.

My husband and I went there for our date night (we were kid free) because we love trying out new places especially small places like this. Service was great, margaritas not so much... My husband ordered the 1/2 order fajita quesadilla from the dinner menu....$10 later it did not come with rice or beans (most dinners usually do) so he ordered a side of ($3) beans. I ordered the beef fajita stuffed baked potato. I waited about 35 minutes and when I FINALLY got it, it was the wrong potato (another waitress took the wrong potato to the wrong table) I know things like this happen my husband and I waited tables for about 10 years on and off. I waited another 30 minutes or so and still no potato. I went to the manager and said I just want to cancel my order. He said ok I will take it off your ticket. When I got back to my table he said Oh it was actually coming out right now, would you like me to bag it to go I was like well yea I guess so...when it was time to pay, the potato was not taken off even though I waited over an hour and did not even get to eat and 1/2 dinner quesadilla was $10 plus $3 to add beans to it. The salsa was a bit too salty, so was the quesadilla. When I FINALLY got to taste my food at home, the potato and fajitas were good but the onion and bell pepper a bit too sweet. I can now say...we tried it, but not our cup of tea.
