Matamoros Taco House

This place rocks..... Driving back from the Valley., and wanted a quick lunch break..... I saw the few reviews in Yelp and decided to stop in since I have eaten at about all of the other spots in town. I wasn't expecting much - but wow ---- the guys who do the cooking back there really surprised me.... If you live in that area, and are in the mood for some tocos or anything else they have - I fully recommend going for it.... I ordered three different tacos and they were great.... Somebody in Palacios.., go get those folks to work their Yelp account - they have like four 5-star reviews and they don't even know it!!!!! And don't let the "Small Blue Building" thing throw you off - it's clean inside, restroom were spotless when I was there... and the tacos will make that a must-stop place on my next trip through.... I don't even think they know that they are 'that-good'.... Well done down there guys....

I think I have been coming to this place since they opened in 2000. The breakfast tacos keep me coming back. All the different varieties are delicious, but my favorite are the bean, egg, and cheese ones. My husband's favorite are the bacon, egg, and cheese tacos. My husband and my dad also love the menudo from this place.The restaurant has always been clean when I've gone in. I've never dined in although you can. I order everything to go. They are usually pretty fast.Service is good and friendly.I'd recommend Matamoros Taco House. They have the best breakfast tacos around for miles! The salsa is good too!

I wanted some breakfast tacos because I was at a vendor event and someone recommended this place. I'm from the RGV, so I know what good Mexican food is, and I was a little skeptical because it's hard to find good tacos anywhere north of Corpus. I got potato and egg and my husband got one with everything and man, those tacos were DELICIOUS!! The tortillas were fully cooked, nice and thin, not fat and uncooked like most places I've been to around here. I'm definitely going back there! Wish I had taken a picture of the taco, and next time I will!

One muggy rainy morning we found ourselves searching the Yelps for some delicious breakfast. We took a chance on this place because the photos looked good and the praise for their barbacoa was intriguing. It's a small spot whose proprietor is the daughter of the original owners. Her dad still cooks said legendary barbacoa every weekend. I love that! We ordered a barbacoa plate and two breakfast tacos (their carne guisada is bomb). The reviews were not lying, y'all. This barbacoa is legit! It's beef cheek goodness at it's most sinfully delicious. The tortillas also appear to be homemade which is always a plus. And the proverbial cherry on top - the refried beans! Refried beans can make or break my love for a Mexican food joint - these won my undying love forevs. Move over, San Antonio, there's a new barbacoa chief in town!

Homemade tortillas to die for! Beans tasted like my grandmas. Breakfast was delicious. It was busy, a great sign, so we had to wait a hot minute but it was worth it!

Great Mexican breakfast spot breakfast tacos and plates for eat in and to go family run business in the beautiful city of Palacios

Great food, authentic. They always have fresh coffee. The meals come out quickly. The inside is remodeled.

NEW Pricing - Breakfast tacos were good except they were too expensive, 3 tacos were $15.00. Charged extra $.30 cents for onion and $.30 for cilantro, on each taco just a tiny bit, extra $.60 cents. did not tell me until paying. Ridiculous. we won't go back. What a shame.

You know what I like? Good, flavorful food. This place is a jewel, the people nice, food fresh and authentic. Carne Guisada is terrific! Sauces on point and nice warm tortillas. It's a small place but it is comfortable and clean. You should try it!

I have no idea what the rave is about this place. Limited options on meats. The salsa might as well be water.
