Mi Taco Village — Restaurant in Lubbock

Drove a ways to give this place a try as it was suggested. We love hole in the wall joints and they are usually always friendly and some of the best food, as for this place not the case. We walked in to be told to be seated anywhere we liked just my husband and I. The only 2 seat table was right by the door so we picked a 4 seat table. ALL of the tables were oddly close together and the one we sat at had a wierd gap between it and another so I kinda scoot them in and the owner or i guess it was the owner didn't even bother to greet us or bring a menu but asked how many we had my husband responded just us two and he grumbled that table was for a large group. We asked if we needed to move and saw no reserve sign but he just walked off and never came back We sat there a bit longer almost fixing to get up and walk out when a young kid finally brought menus awkwardly giggling and laughing. We decided to stay and try the food despite the rude first impression. I wish we would have just left. My enchiladas was basically just garlic powder and grease. The beans were very questionable as in spolied the rice was crunchy undercooked. I always try rellenos and got a cheese one here and hands down probably the worst relleno you can get in lubbock. Over breaded, very little cheese the tomato sauce on top was flavorless 7 bucks for a nasty a la cart relleno. Almost my entire dish included the relleno was left on that table. My husband ate his carne guisada but he said it wasn't that great. We were never offered a drink refil. The tables are so close I over heard a lady next to me say her expectations were lowered after the appetizer they ordered. I mean for that owner to have such a rude arrogance about him one would expect top tier grub. Definitely a disappointment all the way around. As we were leaving we saw a elder group head in with a ice chest of beer(It's a byob place) to the table we were sitting at. So we gathered that must have been "thier" spot. I mean why not put a reserve sign on it and save the rudeness and running off new customers? New people coming in don't have a clue who your regular table squatters are? Or even when we asked if we needed to move just blatantly walking off pissy and ignoring? I would have gladly picked another spot. Jeez. Ahwell nevertheless the food sucked we...

I would first like to start out by saying I spend about 300$ monthly not to mention I work at the farm down the street so this is usually my go to for lunch so Friday 1/24 at around 530 I called in and placed my order I advised to the woman that I only want mustard pickels and onions on my burgers because I'm allergic to tomatoes as my son I also asked for jalapeño on one of the burgers we get our food go home I check my burger it's made all the way I immediately tell my son let me check your food sure enough it was made all the way also the burger that was supposed to have jalapeños only had 3 so I call the restaurant a younger male answered and told me he would have to talk to the owner which I thought was really confusing I spent 28$ on my order I waited until the young man came back I was advised by the employee the owner said he couldn't do anything because it wasn't on the ticket and I could wait and talk to the other owner i advised them that if me or my son would've taken a bite we would've had to go to the emergency room me as a customer I can't write down my own order that's a staffing issue or laziness just a lack of empathy felt like the restaurant said screw me and my kid sucks they have great food but I will never spend another dime in this location the whole we're sorry we could've hurt you and your child and its it's our fault but we will blame it on you just doesn't sit...

My husband and I absolutely love this place!!! We eat there frequently and have never gotten a bad meal. To those who say the food is out of a can, just got your information, the salsa and all the rest of the food is made on site and to order. I know this because I've been there when the salsa was being made and it is nothing close to "Rotel Tomatoes"..., because I use Rotel often in my cooking and it is not in the same league! Whomever thinks that, does not know real Tex-Mex. The food is fresh made in the restaurant.... Beware, sometimes it is almost to hot to eat but Lupe will tame it down.... I know because I've had the privilege of getting a sample right fresh from the food chopper...Learn the difference! Lupe and all of his staff are superb and deserve credit therein! Good news... Now that Love's Truck Stop has opened just across the street, forget getting that fried chicken tasting Subway or Chester's chicken.... It's nasty... Go across the street and enjoy Mi Taco Village, which is now going to be open every day from early morning until 9...
