Local taqueria that is exceptional in taste and variety. Delicious Mexican cuisine. You will not be disappointed.
Delicious and fast good for when you’re in lunch time . Sometimes there’s a Banda playing
Great Mexican food. Can't go wrong with any dish
We always stop to get sweet bread. Always very good.
The food is delicious and great customer service!!
Original structure, quiet and quaint. Service is excellent! Very attentive, food was prepared quickly and delicious. Flour tortillas are handmade, not store bought, a huge plus! In the heart of Pasadena, one of the best ones still around, don't miss out!
I'm normally one to add a "but" with these restaurants, this restaurant doesn't deserve a "but". The service was so nice I was greeted as soon as I walked through the door, the waitress was so nice and lovely and overall the place has a good vibe to it. Would definitely visit again!
Food is great and the morning staff are very friendly
Really good food especially for early folks since they open at 7 am! One breakfast item of high interest is their huevos rancheros - 3 eggs, slice of bacon, fried potatoes & beans, 2 pancakes and 3 tortillas ha drilled (corn or flour) for less than $5.00! Note coffee & tax is excluded! Overall a great deal and the interpersonal warm & professional service by the staff is excellent.
Always a great place to eat, fast service, no wait time.. Martha is a great server and always checks up on you
It was such a nice restaurant and very nice service definitely recommend if you want your food fresh
My family and me love the food here.... very authentic and delicious . The service is amazing.
Best flour tortillas I've had in decades.
Always great tasting authentic Mexican food,their sopes and quesadilla are the best.
This place have great service food as well we come to this place often so if you want great food and service come here
You will love this spot
Tried the flautas! Smothered with aguacate, cream, and queso fresco!!!! Do not sleep on these. Tried the carne guisada plate—-paired with authentic tortillas de arina-do not sleep on these either! Fajitas are very well made as well… Highly recommend the Nutella Cheesecake. Should have taken a photo of when I first got it. Waitress was attentive, food was out quickly (family of 6)-prices are reasonable. Hidden Gem in Pasadena.
20 Degrees outside today and every restaurant was closed except this place. Thought I'd give it a try as I've never been here before. It was very good and everything was on point. I got the huevos rancheros with three eggs, beans, potatoes, bacon, and it came with Pancakes. Also got coffee. It was only $10! I think it was too cheap but very good. They need to go up on their prices as I know they have bills to pay. Left her a $10 tip on top of the ticket.I had to drive to the other end of town to find a restaurant that was open and this is the only one I can find because of freezing weather. Everybody was closed, but they were on duty and Cooks were ready to give you a good meal. I'll be back to enjoy the wonderful food.
My husband ordered gorditas n they were very tasty....I had a sandwich (idk if I'm saying it right) "CENITAS" it was HUGE, but so was the price. 15 dollars😳 it was tasty but there was yerba on it that is typical of the dish, that tasted awful. I wanted to "try somethin new" smh, after I removed the herb, it was yummy!!! The tortas were a bit measly but they were good, not the best ... their salsa verde and roja are delicious ! I put my hand in the photo to give an idea of the size of the dish
The food was fantastic. The ladies who work her friendly and helpful. Menu has the basics but is clear and easy to read. I wish parking was a little easier to manage, but it's worth the hassle getting in and out. They may just have a new regular.
The place has a great atmosphere, and the service is incredible. The food was delicious and great in price.
I had the plato de bistec con nopales, DELICIOUS. Flour tortillas are handmade. I’ve had other plates too and they are good! I recommend this place

This place is one of our hidden gem places to eat. The food is so good and the people are very cool. In between authentic and Tex Mex. You wont be disappointed!!
Very good food, very clean, very nice waitresses
This place is absolutely amazing. Great food music and service. Took my sister here when she came down to visit me and she loved it as well. We will always come here if we want some good authentic Mexican food when I don’t feel like cooking. This place needs to be known because with the way they treat people and the amazing food the lobby should always be full. They also have a drive through! So to tired to step out of the car. You don’t have to.
Food was great, service was decent i like this place. Few bad reviews but everyone’s experience is different and mine was great! I got the birria tacos 👌👌
A solid solid 5 stars, with only one 4 star for service. We felt a little rushed when there wasn't a lot of people there, but other than that this establishment is super solid and super yummy. I had "los huevos divorciados" and everything associated with it was good, and the person I came with loved it as well.

I tried the quesabirrias, not the best but npt the worst!! It was just another Mexican taqueria. Service was good, though.
Good authentic Mexican food , prices are fair and service is always great !
Food was very good, service lady took her time at times to check up on us bu the experience wasn't bad everything was good and I would go again.
The food was actually pretty good, I wasn't expecting it to be for whatever reason. The waitresses were very nice and checked up on us constantly, what more can you ask for.
My very first taquería establishment I came to probably 30 years ago. Different name, same building. Food still hits tho.
I went to the one in Pasadena, Tx and tried the Divorced eggs. I liked it and the service was awesome. My server was on top of her game checking on me. The flour tortillas were good and fresh. I also posted a vlog on my YouTube. #slaprecon

Food is below average and comparatively prices are high.
The food was very good! The only reason I knocked stars off is because the Chile con queso tasted very artificial or they use a cheap brand, one or the other. My husband ordered the nachos with beef and chicken but the portion of proteins was very small and I ordered the tampiqueña plate but the 2 enchiladas that came with the plate looked old and were stale then the meat although tender was very very dry. Other than that the service was good, the prices are incredibly affordable especially in this economy and as I mentioned above the food is very tasty. The green salsa is bomb! We will definitely return and I highly recommend.
Food is good but they take way too long in the drive thru and the beverages are severely overpriced
Ordered a Torta de fajita with cheese for quesadillas. It was really good - but I thought $12.50 was a bit steep as it was to go and I didn't even have chips or anything. That's what I get for looking like a white guy, even though I ordered in Spanish. Profiled!

Came here during brunch hour , we took seating were we liked and The waiter came to get our drinks after asking her I wanted the Cemitas she mention it came with a drink. I mention that I wasn’t doing sodas due to my health & insisted that the dish was meant like that . Cemita bread crumbled all over me , wish they could make it were you can substitute the “soda” weather or not you choose a natural drink.

I looked at the menu for quesadillas and it showed a plate with three quesadillas and beans and rice and when we spoke to the waitress and told her we wanted chicken and steak quesadilla mixed she misunderstood and that's all we got was two tacos but they charge us over $4 a piece for each one and my friend basically had the same and we end up having to pay $30 to eat four tacos and two drinks and I felt like we got a bad deal and there was no sour cream to be found anywhere. So to me it wasn't a very good quesadilla or a very good dining experience was not here.

It's on the thing to say you have something and then when you call it's another story take tamales off the menu if you never have them thanks
I came to eat here on March 30th 2025 I ordered a parillada for two I must say this has been the worst restaurant I have been to The rice was cold, the beans had no flavor The flour tortillas were not even fully cooked The portion of the rice looked like it was meant for little kids And service was not all great The server never showed a smile once and never made a effort to make you feel welcome So if you're looking for great food and service this is not the place !! I
The service is no good. They took a while putting in my order just to find out they made a mistake. Also, I specifically said pastor for my tacos just to realize they were beef and to top it off they forgot to give me my order of tortillas. Once I sent a friend to get them inside, one of the servers said “oh she’s back” and went straight into the kitchen, not knowing she was overheard. We asked for our order of tortillas and they had forgot to make them so we had to wait and they weren’t even cooked thoroughly. One of my worse experiences in a restaurant yet.
This place was horrible. I mean the people were really nice and friendly. But the food was sorry. The amount I paid was not worth what I got in return. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. There are way better places to eat than here!!!
Y'all don't wanna come here there maschions don't work and the food is not good
Food is always tasteless. I keep trying this place because I liked Agave, but I have never left happy
The food used to be good but their cashapp was always down. The mojara was rock hard this time n berly any meat, no flavor just oil. They are stingy with the limes. When it was time to pay I used a different card and they said it was declined. I had to call my bank because it locked on up on me due to expecting fraud. My bank mentioned how they were trying to charge me different amounts. Their system charges hidden fees and plus they charge $3 just to use the card. If you go, take cash because a card locking up due to expecting fraud is SUS.But even at that. The restaurant went down hill My original bill was $88 and this the mess they created. Which we had to pay an extra 3 dollar fee on top of the $10 for using another card because the 88 wouldn't go thru because their hidden fees but yet they still charged me 93.59 on the card the 88 wouldn't go thru. Like no the food is trash then got the nerve to play with people's money. Never again

Ordered nachos and they were terrible! It’s like they just threw everything in the microwave 🤮. It was my first time and I was highly disappointed because I saw they had a 4.3 star. After not wanting to try this place again I gave it one more try for breakfast hoping it would be good and NO! potatoes were so hard tortillas aren’t fresh and seemed like they were old . I will never return to this restaurant 👎
Food is mid and the closing waitress did not want us dining in because we came in at 9:15. A family came in at 9:30 and turned them away. Maybe try coming in earlier and she might treat you the right way. Never coming back either way. El Ranchito is not that much farther away and the food is actually worth it there.
Horrible food poisoning from shrimp do not order food here unless you want to be sick for a week on your death bed! Shellfish food poisoning is awful! Sad because the people are so nice and friendly but they need to clean up their kitchen act!
