Mendez Mexican Restaurant

Wow just WOW this place was unexpected and the outside was deceiving but friends NEVER judge a book by its cover. This owner Dolores Mendez is a beautiful soul and one to be reckoned with. If you're ever in Mathis/Alice Texas come on by and give her your much needed business. I will be Yelping her today in hopes of expanding her business. So glad we chose this spot rather than our norm (Crackle Barrel)! Thank you Dolores for sharing your delicious food but most of all your amazing personality with our family! We will be back!

This is the definition of out of the way, little restaurant that you need to try. The food is delicious and the tortillas were homemade...that should be enough said. I had the monster taco, which is a meal on its own. If you on I 37 and can get off the highway for a quick 5 minute detour, please do yourself the favor. Do not go the the truck stops for breakfast. Go and sit down and enjoy a meal like if Abuelita and your Tia were in the kitchen cutting up the Spam and brewing the cafe!

Just tried breakfast tacos and I've found my new spot. Barbacoa was very good didn't even need salsa or extra spice. Bean egg and bacon taco was on point. Beans were refried and not watery like most places. Definitely be back.
