My friends and I decided to pitch in on a Fajita Taco Platter from Papa Taco. The place is located on the southwest corner of Taylor Rd and 495 in Mission TX. I placed my order on the phone but you have to pay first before they make it, alot of places to this. I was told by the person that took my order that the platter came with 20 street size tacos ( small corn tortillas). Also, she said that there would be Nachos and Guacamole in the center of the platter, a side of Charro Beans, and two types of Salsas. Sounded Great! I was super looking forward to trying the frejoles. Believe it or not, there are many Mexican restaurants in the RGV but not all of them make really good beans. You would think that something as basic as making beans would be easy to get right, but sad to say it doesn't happen. Anyways I picked up the pizza box of tacos with the Beans and Salsas on the side and headed home, I get there place the box on the table and everyone starts digging in. Let me say that the Tacos we're on point, the Fajita was tender, the Cilantro on top fresh as can be. The Beans we're some of the best Beans Iv had in a long time, really good, Cooked with bacon and the broth had areal balanced flavor again I just have to rave about them. The Salsas were very good but I would have liked to have had one a bit more spicy. The platter was 37 dollars and well worth it and I would easily buy another one and...
Read moreBreakfast tacos have become a daily staple to the RGV....but unfortunately these tacos are not up to par.
First...they have a drive through that doesn't work. I pulled up to the speaker where you might order...and nothing. So make sure you look at the menu and memorize what you want before pulling up to the window to place the order. I mentioned it to the worker and she said that yes, it's been broken a while.
I kept the order simple...brisket with eggs on flour and then one brisket with papas a la mexicana on corn tortillas.
Best word to describe my tacos...bland. I don't know how you can make brisket bland... brisket should be flavorful, tender, juicy... But this brisket was not.
The brisket alone should shine and carry the taco...but you would never know it was brisket. Bland...
There's plenty of delicious breakfast tacos out there...but they are...
Read moreI will say that the strength of this restaurant seems to be Tacos, i ordered the huevos rancheros and they were okay.
For $6.99 you get 2 eggs, potatoes and refried beans (the bacon was extra).
The eggs were ordered over medium but i got them both over cooked little or no runny yolk, the salsa was a bit spicy didn't taste bad but i would like to see some onions on it it will really increase the flavor if they did, the potatoes were hot slightly crispy but not seasoned, the refried beans were actually pretty good i liked the taste of them, the bacon was also very tasty slightly crispy.
The corn tortillas was good i liked the taste of it, they toasted my flour tortilla it was hard.
Overall an okay place for breakfast, the huevos rancheros were overpriced for not having...
