AR's Cafe

My bro in law brought me to AR's Cafe for breakfast while visiting the family. I had the Huevos Rancheros Divorciadas and they were delicious and the service was great. We like the vibe of it all and will return for some more good eats.

This is a hidden gem in Freeport. Probably the best place in Freeport to get your breakfast taco fix. First, this is a little hole in the wall, but make sure you get there early because the locals know about this place and it can get pretty packed. Service and be hit or miss depending on how busy they are but they make sure you get your refills and salsa. My favorite taco is the chorizo, egg and cheese. The tortillas are homemade and the taco is as big as my forearms. If you have a hefty appetite, two is gonna fill you up for most of the day. For me, I might be able to eat 1/2 of one. Most people can handle one. The breakfast plates are also huge and come with beans and potatoes. There is an American breakfast on the menu, but why would you do that?!? Get a taco. You won't be disappointed!

This place is everything you hope for in a hole-in-the-wall Mexican food restaurant. Good authentic food, huge portions, good prices, especially for being in/near a tourist town, and a very homemade feel and taste, especially the tortillas! I had a chorizo and egg breakfast "taco" which is basically an unwrapped burrito. BF had huevos rancheros and enjoyed it as well. The red sauce and the salsa were very flavorful and fresh. Service was average, friendly, but we didn't interact with the waiter much. He greeted several other customers by name as he checked in on them, which told me that they have plenty of regulars. One downside to the ambience was the overwhelming smell of disinfectant cleaner as soon as we walked in the door. While I understand some people take this as a sign of a sanitary restaurant, when it is that strong it carries over into the flavor of the food and sometimes I end up not being able to eat there. Overal I would return for breakfast if I were in the area again, just perhaps as a to-go order.

We have eaten at AR's Cafe four times. The food is consistently flavorful, well cooked, and served with a smile. Their tortillas are extra big and delicious! The best thing about their tortillas is they use baking powder so the tortilla does not look raw or greasy!!!!! Also, the salsa is also flavorful and fresh. Next time you visit the area, you must stop by for breakfast.

Some of the best Mexican breakfast around ! It's a local favorite! Make sure you pay attention to their hours of operation. They close early in the day so you just might miss it !

Friendly service, delicious food, and a clean comfortable environment. Now one of my favorite Tex-Mex restaurants in TX!

We used to love eating here, my wife said their Menudo is fantastic, and there were several things on the menu that I enjoyed. When Covid hit, so did greed-they charged us for paper and plasticware, and the price of our meal went up $4 to $6. The second time this happened, we decided that we would find another place to patronize.

Went in with my husband and 5 kids ranging from 5 -17 we did not get our drink order until we were sitting for 20 mins THEN 2 large tables came in after and were served drinks and FOOD before we even were able to order !! They included a 10% tip for a table of 7 and I don't mind tipping MORE but no not this time...SO I tell the man at the counter the situation when it comes time to pay (after going up 2x once to ask for drinks and the other time to ask if our ticket was even put in ) HE DID NOT CARE !!! NONE OF THEM CARED !!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK EVEN THOUGH THE FOOD WAS GOOD BECAUSE ITS HARD OUT HERE AND IF IM GOING TO SPEND 100 ON BREAKFAST at YOUR establishment with times being how they are ATLEAST act like you care !!Very disappointed

I'm so disappointed. Years ago AR's was great for lunch and breakfast. It's not the same. I went for lunch and got carne cuisada but it was not fixed right. The meat was tender but the gravy was watery. Couldn't tell the beans from the gravy. I thought maybe an off day. Went again to try breakfast. Taco was lukewarm and there was literally a huge piece of egg shell in my food. It was not as good as I remembered it. Someone said the older generation has turned it over to the younger. Well I'm good. Guess I need to find a new spot. I need the old cook to teach the new cook because this is not it! Needless to say, that egg shell was a turn off and I threw the rest of the taco away. A wasted $7 on a taco. Never again!

We've heard great things about AR's, so stopped In forlunch today and we both had the Friday lunch special which was called the Beefy Plate. Beef chalupa, beef enchilada and beef taco. Presentation was really messy. Food was okay, not bad. Salsa served with chips was top notch though! We'll try something different there next time.
