YaYa's Cocina — Restaurant in Texas

I always feel bad for the servers , thus 2 stars. I really believe all the reviews are employee’s, because We arrived on a Sunday @2:39 & I asked if they closed @3:00 or stopped serving breakfast @ 3:00? They nodded their head and told us to come in. Wish we hadn’t, we asked for guacamole for appetizer almost immediately and we were the only people in the restaurant and it took 25 minutes. The guacamole that finally came, was ripe avocados and not very good. The food was cold and enchilada sauce tasted like baby food. How does baby food taste? Like powdered added water tasteless pretend it’s enchilada gravy taste. I put my food in a napkin and served to my dogs. We also ordered burgers with fries & that was better and warmer since they had to cook the meat & fry the French fries. Each meal was served 1 at a time. The enchilada meal first, then 1 of the hamburger meals, then another hamburger meal, etc. We couldn’t eat and leave fast enough @ 3:40. Burger King next door burgers would have been much cheaper and much better. The hours are limited M-Sat 8-5, on Sunday 8-3? That is good for breakfast and lunch hours only. I saw a lot of employees, counted 7 servers, but it felt like they closed the kitchen at 2:30 on Sunday and had to pull out the food again to make our order. Ya, this place was the worst food and slow service I can honestly say I have “ever” had. I suggest you save your money and tastebuds and go somewhere else. If you take the challenge, I suggest you pay attention to the limited hours or you will get stuck with cold, small portion servings. We also got served 10 chips for 4 people. We counted! Then another 10 to go with the guacamole!! Really?! I normally wouldn’t be so negative and try to be more positive , but I believe I need to be honest and hopefully save others the...

Extremely disappointed. My first time ever ordering a to go order that include two meals for my mother and I. I called and placed my order at 1:15 the women took down my order and information and said it would be ready in 15 minutes so I arrive at 1:40. I was not greeted when I arrived so I went to the counter and said I was here to pick up a to go order and the lady responded let me check on that for you. So I decided to take a sit and wait, I waited for about another 10-15 minutes till I got up again and asked about my order. She then mentioned I am sorry we don’t have an order for you.... I showed her my cell phone call history on when I made the order at 1:15. She then called up the actual women that took my phone call and that women said it didn’t go through and asked if I could wait so she can process the order again. No I can’t wait again! What a waste of my time.

Talk about disappointment. As a first time customer I will never return this restaurant again and what a shame because I do enjoy supporting local restaurants but not when they can’t even get a to go order ready for their customers. Keep in mind the location was not very busy for a Sunday. I will take my...

My children and I went today for lunch. We've never been there before, but I heard about it and wanted to check it out. My son wanted breakfast, but the prices for breakfast was a bit too much for what I could get at El Patio or Taco Olé. So, my daughter ordered the kids plate of flautas. Daughter loved it but wishes it would have had sour cream, avocado, lettuce and tomatoe. But it was good and a good serving. My son wanted tacos, but estillo Reynosa. We had to order the adult plate so he could get what he wanted. I got the carne guisada. It was delish! The food I'd give 4 stars but the service was awful. I had to get my own drinks. No one came to our table. Our waitress look annoyed, one was busy cleaning and another girl just sat there, so I assumed she was off. Our server seemed only to speak Spanish. They have no Sweet tea and that's a no no in South Texas. I'd go back for the food, but I'd stay away because of the unfriendly service and stay away because I have to do the...
