Live Oak Drive Thru

Their hours have been reduced to Wednesday thru Friday 10am - 4 pm. The correct phone number is 1-830-279-8647. (Disregard the number listed by Yelp.) I spoke with the proprietor and am happy to report that they are still open for business. The food at Live Oak belies the humble appearance of the building. Don't hesitate to pick up some gorditas if you have the chance. Amazing!

My first visit after 2 years, I was just hoping they were still open. Thankfully they are but only for drive-thru. The menu has been reduced, gone is the world's best tortilla soup. But my Carne Guisada Gordita is still available and just as amazing as ever. Photo of the new menu with new hours attached.The folks working here were very nice, same faces as I saw in the past. But you can tell they are under stress from the long drive thru line. Be nice and tell them how much you like their food. A generous tip would be appreciated.

You may pass it up looking for it but make a upturn and don't miss out! Great tacos very flavorful!

This unassuming little covered patio in Uvalde has the best gorditas and chicken tortilla soup I've ever had! You can tell that everything is completely fresh and homemade, and they don't cut corners. I love Mexican food, but frequently feel that it's too heavy for lunch. I could eat this tortilla soup everyday and I'm going to make a point of trying every one of their gorditas at some point. Definitely try the steak ranchero if you like things on the spicy side. It's perfectly spiced and they do not cheat you on the fillings! So happy to have found another lunch spot for when I'm in Uvalde!

Five star gorditas! Five star staff! My husband tried gorditas for the the very first time and this was the best place in the Lone Star Texas to try them! Come before noon or you might not find a table due to the big lunch crowd! I had a nopalito gordita and my husband had a carne guisada gordita-both delicious, hot, and fresh! We also shared a hot capirotada sprinkled with cheese for dessert. It is a Mexican bread pudding that oozed with pure goodness! I appreciated the sign indicating the symbolism of the capirotada: syrup-Blood of Christ, bread-Body of Christ, raisins-nail on the cross, cinnamon-board of the cross, cheese-Holy Shroud.

UVALDE why are you NOT promoting this place!!! GREAT service, DELICIOUS food, and an "at home" atmosphere. The food is fresh and YUMMY! It's somewhere you NEED to visit!

You have to be looking out for this place or you'll drive right past it. Great service, great food. Ordered a chicken Gordita and omg, delicious! Reminds me of a back in the day kind of restaurant. You know, before it became all about the bells and whistles. This place does it right.

We had their brisket and chicken gordita's today! We also purchased some to go for later! We brought home chicken tortilla soup and they sent diced avocado and shredded cheese and also tortilla chips for us to put in after we warmed it up. It has to be hands down the very best tortilla soup I've ever had! If you are anywhere in the area you need to stop by and try them out! The owners are a joy to visit with!

Can confirm this is amazing! Looks to only be open Thurs-Saturday, and only accepts cash, but it is worth it! I got the carne guisada Gordita and wish I was able to bring some home to Dallas with me! Do not miss out!

Best lunch stop between S.A. And El Paso! Ok, Yelp wants 44 more characters to post: uvalde is a town in Texas along hwy 90
