Ok this is first for me! Want to let everyone no that u now have to pay for salsa for your meal. U also have to pay for chips with/for your meal. Have never experienced this from Mexican restaurant!! Chips and salsa is part of meal in my opinion. If u buy 2 tacos in a m . You will receive 1 salsa for free!!! What is next,have to pay for plastic bag, plastic silverware in to go line!!!

First time going here and the place looks like a dump. Food was not good. One slice of bacon on a burrito they re charging over 5 dollars for is laughable. After reading my order to me wrong and me correcting them, they still didn t give me my full order. I will definitely be recommending against going to this place. Waste of money, burrito was all filler and they can t even get an order right.

The only reason it is not a 5 star is because of how small the restaurant truly is. Even with just coming in and picking up an order to go, it felt like I was on top of people sitting at the surrounding tables. The food is amazing!!! Absolutely amazing food!! The service is as amazing as the food. Very polite, friendly and professional. Definitely a place to eat at and have a great meal!! Parking: They offer plenty of parking to the side and behind the restaurant. There is also the option to park on the side of the adjoining street. Plenty of spots to get as close as you want or need

Its full of flies and roaches. The food is plastic. The waitress is beyond dumb. Wanted to charge for a side order of rice when she couldnt or didnt under stand simple request put rice in a separate bowl. Then when I said this is not what I ordered she wanted to say it was.

Never been here before. So we decided to try it. The atmosphere was like a cheap attempt to look authentic. Menu read chip & Salsa until 10:30.we got he at 10::05. The waitress took our drink order. Came back and got our order. I had to ask for chips and Salsa .she responded by oh we have to charge you for it. I read where it states on the menu. My husband ordered two egg and potatoes tacos and 95% of it was potatoes Well to make a long story short I had to pay for the chips and Salsa plus an electronic fee. This is one place I wont be going back to

Food tasted good, but then I saw a long hair in my guacamole. When the manager came over, he asked if I wanted something else. I told him just 2 chicken flautas with no guacamole. I thought he would comp the meal, discount it, apologize, or something. Instead, my friend and I were ignored for the rest of our visit.

I dont pay to have employees shout at me because I complained that the food I was served bad. I will not be bringing my family here again. There are plenty of Mexican restraunts around. RUDE EMPLOYEES PUT RESTAURANTS OUT OF BUISNESS.

Heard great things about this place. We stopped by and got a couple breakfast burritos. Chorizo, egg and cheese. We were not fans of the cheese at all. Didnt seem like a grated cheese, more like a Velveeta kinda cheese. Also we would have liked a bit more chorizo in them.

I have always loved their menudo, but we got some yesterday to have on this Sunday morning and see that there is no hominy and hardly any Chile juice. I am so disappointed. I love the corn (hominy) and soup. What we got is nothing but a chunky tripe mixture.

Used to be great till ownership changed a few years ago. Was kept clean and a good place to dine in. The staff was friendly and knew regulars by name. Now below average. Food not as flavorful but is excessively salty. Its main attraction is its proximity to Baylor Scott & White Hospital a block away. I still go once or twice a year to see if any improvement, but am always disappointed.

I bought eight tacos and received two small green sauce containers. When I asked for more, I was told there would be an extra charge. Its frustrating because Ive come here multiple times before with my cousin making the purchases via drive-through and never had an issue. In fact, we often received a cup of sauce that was more than needed. I understand my cousin is a regular, but consistency is vital. Youve lost a customer and received an honest review, which is the same feedback Ill give to anyone who asks in the future.

Got very good breakfast tacos and a burrito here. Definitely decide on either dining in, or going through the drive thru for best service. Tacos come with 2 ingredients with a small charge for each extra one added, burritos come with 3. Our total for 2 tacos and a burrito, plus tip was $14 and change. Note the drive thru line can get backed up and affect parking on the side of the building.

Some of the staff was somewhat friendly. The cashier was very friendly, courteous and helpful. This establishment was clean. The food on the other hand, was a different story. We placed an order of breakfast tacos to go. Once arriving to pick up the order, I still had to wait for the order to be filled. I guess at this time in the morning, they were running short on food because a large portion of the tacos in the order, only had a small sliver of taco filling. The tacos were mainly just tortilla. One of our group members became sick after eating some of the breakfast tacos. He has had diarrhea since eating those tacos yesterday morning to today. The sad part about it is that he is a Hispanic born in the great state of Texas. It is not like this is the first time that he has eating a taco for Gods sake. So, if you get one of these guys sick to the stomach by eating a couple of breakfast tacos, what else needs to be said? If you are hungry for tacos, I would highly recommend a different establishment. Parking: Extremely low parking availability.

Do not recommend this Temple location My food order was wrong & all I got was an apology. Instead of taking care of the customer making them happy to come back, share the experience & get more business & getting what I ordered all she did was apologize time & time again & said enjoy. She was the manager! To top it off in the beginning the waitress gave the wrong breakfast order. Before I could take a bite she came said no took it away thats not yours & gave it to the rightful owner if you will & apologized to her for giving it to me. Never again! Management is no good & her staff is following making them fall with them.

I told the waitress I asked for potato and she did not seem to care. She could have offered to bring me a side of just potatoes but did not. I am not satisfied with this visit AT ALL. It will be a good while before I return.

This is probably one of the worst places Ive eaten at recently. 6 dollars for a burrito and it looked like they put two eggs in there. I specifically asked for chedddar cheese, nope, their shredded is American cheese which is not really cheese but pasteurized cheese product. The staff was friendly and attentive. The location is very run down from the parking lot, building, and especially the bathroom. I only ate here because my buddy suggested it. Do yourself a favor and check out Rosas because for a similar cost youll actually leave full and the food will taste really good.
