Barrera’s Taco Shop — Restaurant in Ingram

Exactly what I had hoped for, everything was great. (All the good reviews were right) Homemade style Mexican food w/fresh ingredients Great prices with plenty of options to satisfy everyone in your group. Happy polite staff.

With all the available restaurants in the area, I doubt it will ever be a regular spot for me. It's pretty new and seems to be needing some work if they are going to make it work here. Food tasted good enough, though. Kinda hard to make bad...

The chips and salsa offered to us before our meal were lovely; the chips were light and crunchy, and the fresh salsa was blended and not too spicy - just right. The Iced Tea was really good; we had sweet mixed with unsweet (half & half). Our server Edith...
