Taqueria El Mexicano

Taqueria El Mexicano. How have I forgotten about you?Well, for starters, you were one of the first of one of my favorite taquerias to close during the pandemic, and one of the last to reopen (based on my recollection). This did not spark joy for me. Sign of the times I suppose. In any event, I was driving down SPID this morning and looked over and saw something that did spark joy for me - you had a full parking lot!Some backstory. When I first changed my diet towards the beginning of 2018, I read about a prominent local official who had done so similarly, and this was reportedly one of the favorite places to eat barbacoa, so I had to give it a shot. I was not disappointed.I came here several times since because I so enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. And I am happy to report that none of that seems to have changed by my account. Friendly, accommodative good people. The crowd is a breath of fresh air too. I suppose I should also mention the food - coming from my perspective, it's great. Scrambled eggs were fluffy, the way scrambled eggs are supposed to be. Bacon was thick and crispy, the way bacon is supposed to be. The steak was nice, fatty and charred; the way breakfast steak is supposed to be!Now that I know you're back in business, I have another taqueria in my arsenal for fantastic brunch and dinners. Please stick around for awhile, if not for me, for the locals that adore you.

AMAZING! Came back twice and they were kind and had amazing servers and the horchata was 10/10 and the service was immaculate

Barbacoa was delish. The machacado with egg was good. The corn tortillas are homemade which is always a win! You can order breakfast tacos after 11am for a small fee.

Amazing food, large portions and good service. We have a big family and they were patient and went above and beyond to help the kids. Good prices for the portion size.

Been coming here for awhile and the food is always good they really pile on the food for the price. I love coming here the staff is very friendly and they get out the food fast. The place is clean they really make sure it is clean. So I highly recommend coming here

Delicious!My friends and I were in Corpus for a couple days and stumbled upon this little family-run taqueria. We've been to more Mexican restaurants than we can count, and this definitely ranks near the top of our list. Cheap prices, fresh food, friendly staff, and huge portions. If you're ever in town, you definitely need to stop by!

Came to Taqueria El Mexicano with family for breakfast. The server was friendly and although we had a large group of people the service was swift. This is a place that can accommodate a large group of people. There is a bar and a drive-thru. Thank you all! Gracias! Enjoy everyone! :)

I recommend people to come here it has the best Mexican food and even the waiters were super fast and food service is 10/10

We stopped here for breakfast on a Sunday morning and went through the drive thru. The customer service was outstanding, but the food omg the food was delicious!! the homemade corn tortillas were everything! We will definitely be coming back when in the area.

Amazing breakfast. Their coffee was delicious. I love that they had tacos along with pancakes for picky kids. It was reasonably priced. The service was so quick. We were in and out in 30 minutes and they were packed! They seem to run this business well. We'll definitely be returning.
