Absolutely amazing. Second to none A must try if you love tacos.
TLDR version
It is the most authentic family run taqueria experience I have had in Texas in a long time. Walked in and it smelled like my Abuela's house. The brightly colored plywood, hand written menu, and beautiful family art/aesthetics presents the Mendez family's amazing taqueria. The Barbacoa Tacos were phenomenal and probably one of the best I have ever had. Handmade tortillas, the meat is not to greasy or dry. Soft tender meat that isn't mealy or tired, but has soft melt in your mouth feel. I sincerely appreciate barbacoa that isn't a greasy disaster. The green salsa that's comes with it, is a pleasantly spicy but not overwhelming salsa. Got a few other tacos staples like the chorizo and egg and their Mendez special. The Mendez special is definitely for the Taco heads who like that greasy messy hangover taco. Packed with spam, potatoes, cheese and all things breakfast, it shines through your soul. Literally it glistens in the right lighting. The other items we had a chance to try were amazing. This is our new spot everytime we come through the area and I highly recommend it as a destination taco place for any...

My family and I were so hungry and the food smelled so appetizing that I didn't even think of talking pictures of the food!
Strongly recommend for wonderful food...

I though my late grabdma was cooking, 🥺...well definitely be back. The medudo walked by as we were leaving and I almost turned around. Please make the effort to get off the highway and go the extra 5-8 minutes off....
