Tacos El Tejano — Restaurant in Zapata

Hello, I finally had the opportunity to get to know and try the food in this place. I'm going to tell you MY EXPERIENCE.. First, when we arrived we entered and there was only one table occupied, a waitress was cleaning a table and we entered and sat down looking at the menu on the wall. After several minutes, the couple who was there were the ones who told us that we had to order at the window. We got up and did it. We returned to sit down and the atmosphere at that time was very uncomfortable. It was as quiet as a funeral. I don't know if it will always be like this, but the TV wasn't even on. After a few minutes another family arrived and sat down anyway, and again the kind couple who were there explained to them what they had to order at the window. The place was clean, there were not many customers other than the other couple, us and the family that arrived. At the time of delivering our order, they did not give us a spoon for the beans, salt, or napkins. We had to ask for them. I can't say that the food was good, but it tasted good. The prices are reasonable, our order took approximately 15 minutes to be delivered to us. It was very unpleasant, the poor attention from the waitress did not have the courtesy to tell us what we had to order at the window, and the environment was so quiet it was uncomfortable, that's why we decided to leave, we couldn't talk because other people in the place would easily hear our conversion. For this reason I can say that the attention was bad. As I tell you, it is MY FIRST IMPRESSION, I did not recommend it but I would not tell someone not to go either, it is already up to everyone's...

There is never a crowd but it can easily seat 80 people. My favoriet thing to order is "Mini Guacatacos" without oil ("sin aceite"). This restaurant has taken a simple concept and created an empire. You put steak meat, cheese and avocado into a large flour tortilla, and you have a quick, cheap hearty meal. The minis consist of 5 street-style tacos in tiny corn tortillas. Normally the street style tacos are served in fried corn tortillas, but skip the oil and you have a healthy alternative. Feeling indulgent? The gordita plate is quite filling. There is also "Caldo de res" which we crave as soon as the weather gets down below 70...

This place is straight fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I ordered the Caldo de Rez🍲, Taco de Maíz🌮, & Homemade Lemonade🍋! Obviously I was very happy with my order. The Caldo de Rez was hot delicious healthy and came with Rice, Spicy Salsa Verde, Cilantro, Onion, & Lime wedges! The taco de maíz and lemonade was delicious too!! I got all this for under $14!!!

My meal was so good I ordered ToGo… another Caldo de Rez, a Guacataco, & 2 Frioles Preparados!! Can’t wait to try these as well. My friend Kendall said “Those beans were Really Good!”

Do yourself a favor and try this place. You wont be disappointed… and you’ll be glad...
