Tres Hermanos Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Waco

EDIT: Had another meal there, this time to go. Big portions and a reasonable price. Paid less for more than my first time. The fajitas were fine, not great.

My family and I (Wife, 2 kids) arrived on a Wednesday morning for lunch. There was one other family there, that had already been served. We were seated quickly, but it took a little while to get our order and drinks. It seemed like our waitress was in training, but was learning how to do things the try and try again way, instead of being trained. The chips arrived warm and the salsa was like a puree that reminded me more of a type of ketchup than salsa, but still tasted good. I had the fajita/enchilada combo and my wife had chile relleno. My son ordered the chicken strips kids meal, but the waitress forgot that, and we just drove him through McDonalds afterwards. The food was fine, but there are better options in the immediate area. It was edible, but not particularly great. The cheese sauce that is used reminded me of a melted velveeta, the chile relleno was wrapped in a pancake, which was different but tasty. All in all everything was average, but over priced. For as slow as it was, the service was...

I came to Tres Hermanos expecting a good meal—but I left forever changed.

A few years ago, a mysterious stranger on a train whispered to me: “The three brothers hold the key. When the moon is high, your taste buds will unlock the truth.” I had no idea what it meant—until last Tuesday, when the supermoon called to me.

I rushed to Tres Hermanos, narrowly dodging a rogue tumbleweed that definitely knew too much. The moment I stepped inside, the scent of sizzling fajitas filled the air, and the universe aligned. The brothers welcomed me warmly, but there was something in their eyes—had they been expecting me all along?

Then came the enchiladas. I took my first bite, and everything changed. My vision blurred. Colors swirled. The secrets of the cosmos unfolded before me. The truth about Atlantis, extraterrestrial life, and why all my socks go missing —all revealed in layers of melted cheese.

I stumbled out under the glowing supermoon, my third eye fully awakened. I knew what I had to do: honor this celestial experience the only way humankind knows how—with a five-star review.

Tres Hermanos, I see you. I know your power. And I...

Found another hidden gem…. Came in not expecting much. Not real busy. Kind of not well seen from the main road. Thus, decided to just get the lunch specials. Chips & Salsa were about the norm, nothing special. I got the enchiladas and my wife the chimichanga. I figured for 6.99 and 7.99 that it would at least fill a hollow spot. I was pleasantly surprised. These enchiladas had more flavor than almost any I’ve had in Central Texas. The Charro Beans didn’t lack for flavor, either. My wife raved over the chimichanga and the guacamole so much that I kindly helped her finish them. To top it off, it all came fast and the waitress was great. To quote another of the reviews,”what is there not to like.” Cheap meal, good service, and great food! So, if you catch yourself in China Spring at lunchtime and want something different than the great food they serve at Griff’s, hunt this place...
