El Sazón de la Abuela Big Spring Reviews
Great burritos but get ready to wait 30 minutes in their drive thru.
We’re traveling east and stopped in Big Springs for the night. Looked up local restaurants. Was a little skeptical at first. But the food was so good. Everything we ordered was delicious. I wanted to leave a review because it’s very well deserved.
I had an enchilada plate de res with red enchilada sauce. It was very good. Their service was good. Chips and salsa on the house. I ordered a side order of tortillas. They were home made. Only thing I did not like is they serve only bottled water. No refills on water. The enchilada plate was $8.99. The food reminded me of the Mexican restaurants in Laredo. The water is only $1. It was good for the money I spent.
I'm not going to lie I didn't have high hopes when we pulled up but was very surprised the food was great they know how to cook the Eggs and the sauce was not too spicy just right and the rice my wife order was really tender and soft good flavor staff was very friendly but forgetful but that's ok
The food was pretty good. The salsa was delicious and fresh. My husband got tacos and they were phenomenal and definitely worth the price. I got the menudo. It was good but a little spicy for my taste. I'll definitely return. Gave four stars because of the wait time. We didn't get chips and salsa until 15 minutes after our order was taken and the food took even longer to arrive.
Went by three different spots trying to find a breakfast burrito on this side of town on a Saturday morning, this was the only one open and it did not disappoint. Ordered a hamburger meat with potatoes. Not really complaining but… I guess it’s been awhile since I paid for a breakfast burrito, this one was $6. Don’t ever remember paying that much for one, but also beats having to make it myself and glad it was open, and the food was really good so the 6 bucks was well worth it this morning. Watch out for that RED SAUCE!! The lady at the window told me it was HOT and I was like yeah I’m good, yeah naw it was good but super hot! Overall, great experience and I will definitely return.
Honest Review The Agua de Jamaica was refreshing just needed a little more sugar, but once I added some, it was perfect. My husband ordered the barbacoa quesadilla, and he really liked it. It was big and filling. He also had the al pastor burrito, but since we’re used to Houston-style burritos, we expected it to come with beans, rice, lettuce, avocado, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Instead, it only had the meat he chose. It felt more like a large flour taco than a traditional burrito it really should be labeled differently on the menu. I ordered the green chile plate and asked what kind of meat it came with. The waitress said pork, so I expected asado de puerco en salsa verde. But what I got tasted more like brisket or roasted beef with a green sauce. It didn’t taste like pork, and the salsa verde didn’t taste like traditional green tomatillo sauce either. I was disappointed with the entrée, but the beans and rice were really good. I also asked if the tortillas were homemade, and the waitress said yes. I ordered corn tortillas, but they were clearly packaged and not made in-house. The chips and salsa were tasty, but the salsa was a bit too spicy for me (even though I’m Mexican, my stomach can’t handle a lot of spice lately). My husband also tried the chile con queso, but it was very clumpy and not enjoyable. One thing they definitely need to improve is the menu descriptions. Many dishes don’t say what kind of meat they come with, which makes it hard to know what you’re ordering. We also got three paletas frías (Mexican frozen popsicles) and a bag of Mexican Cheetos, and the total came out to around $39 not too bad for everything we ordered.
Was in Big Spring for the day and wanted to try a local place. The pictures of the place look kind of sketchy but sketchy exteriors usually have the best food. They must not get many new customers because when I came in and stood at the counter, they were like "Hello?" like they didn't know why I was there. LOL! Once seated, I was well taken care of. They serve bottled water, which is nice. I had the carnitas soft tacos with rice and beans. It was very tasty, but nothing out of the ordinary. Their chips and salsa, however, were AWESOME!! I bought extra to take home and will definitely revisit next time I'm in town.
Stopped by the drive-thru this morning for a couple of burritos 🌯 . I have one question, do they wait for the chickens 🐔 to lay the eggs 🥚. Finally got our order and the eggs in both burritos were way over fried. Disappointed, had heard a lot of good things about this place. Might give it another try later
Not an actual burrito , burritos were cold took 15 min to get them after I orderd and only orderd 2 the girl at the drive thru window very rude and ugly attitude no customer service what's so ever .
$26 for 3 burritos when I go there all the time made absolutely no sense to me. Will not be going back
I ordered on DoorDash the green chili plate, my meat and beans were cold like straight out of the fridge and had a bay leaf in it still, my boyfriends quesadilla was dry and thrown in the to go box with no care, this place needs to be shut down, I’ve had nothing but problems with them and this is the last straw, I will contact a health inspector since they want to serve meat that is cold
Bland! Dry! Even the limes were dry. Absolutely no flavor, should provide salt and pepper packets. They give nice size portions but tiny sauces. The sour cream was Daisy, it wasn't authentic. They had the audacity to add $3 for the sour cream after I'd already paid for the order. I would never order again! I do not recommend.
The worst tacos I've ever had. Flavorless & some meat was hard some was very fatty. The pictures online show you get multiple red & green sauces. I only received 2 red sauces. Red sauce was good & was the only thing that added flavor. Limes were dry & I barely received onion & cilantro. Waste of $20 added a picture of the hard meat. It was like eating dog food.
I will never be going back to this place again. The customer service is horrible!!! The waitress was so rude and had us waiting a long time to get seated as she went to the back to get on her phone and talk to her coworker. so disappointed 👎
