Culebra Cafe

I'm from out of town. I wanted to find a mom and pop style breakfast burrito place. Had 2 breakfast tacos. Super tasty. I even drove back to buy some of the hot sauce it was that good!

Wrong Prices! The prices posted on their boards & online are Not the prices they charge you at window. The #1 Barbacoa Special listed at $14.99 but at window they charge you $19.99 plus tax. Called ahead to place order but still had to wait over 15 minutes to get to window. Lady at window says owner has not updated price increase. That's just Wrong Y'all!

This is close to where we stay during our visits. It's family owned and they are wonderful. They remember faces even if my visits are not frequent. I love their carne guisada and barbacoa tacos. Try their fresh lemonade, it's delicious.

Let me start by saying that I placed call in order that was ready when I arrived. Someone comes outside to take orders. I give my info, but I'm still in the drive through. Here's the problem I had to wait in the drive through for 20-30 minutes. Why have a call in if you don't have curb side pickup!? The food, the potato and egg taco was good. The carne guisda was tough, but had decent flavor. Customer service was good.

Had their bacon and egg breakfast tacos. I prefer the full strip of bacon like how they have it at Bill Millers because this was a whole lotta egg and barely any bacon, but it was still good. Loved their hot sauce.

My experience with Culebra Cafe was less than I was originally expecting - I intended to get a full lunch there, but due to a misunderstanding at the drive-thru, I ended up only scoring one taco. It was a barbacoa taco - after all, the sign in front gives the barbacoa top billing. The barbacoa was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and they added some only slightly-cooked vegetables, providing some nice and unexpected contrast for the soft pork. I didn't care for how much fat ended up in my taco - it left a puddle in the aluminum foil in which my taco was wrapped. Still tasted good, though.The salsa that they gave me with the meal seemed to consist of nothing but tomatillos and jalapenos, resulting in a salsa that was very thin and needlessly spicy. Roasting the tomatillos would have eliminated much of the water, and thickened the final product.

Maybe I'm different than most, I don't go to a restaurant with expectations of what things should be like. When I go some place new I go in with an open mind and just wait for things to happen. I'm there for an experience.Despite the rundown appearance of the drive-thru sign and speaker, I thought this place was very charming. Rather than order off the menu, I simply asked the woman at the window what she liked. I knew I wanted a relatively small lunch and I knew I wanted tacos. I ended up leaving with two carne asada tacos with the grilled onions and peppers as well as a third taco. I'm not sure what the third taco was, but I know it was a cubed type steak with gravy. All three tacos were made with fresh flour tortillas and each came with its own side of hot sauce. The tacos seemed moderately filled with meat, but lacked vegetables. After two tacos, I could have been content. I wasn't full, but I was satisfied. The tacos were great though. They were flavorful, fresh, and still sizzling hot! I could hardly hold my composure while eating them in my truck. I wanted to shove the third one down my throat as fast as the first two, but I calmly savored it instead.Overall: I will be going back! I do like veggies in my tacos, but meat-filled fresh flour tortillas will have to suffice. I won't be going alone next time either, I'm bring my wife.Now, I'm off to tell my friends all about Culebra Cafe!

This place used to be sooo good. Seems like it's going down hill. Barbacoa was flavorless and the tamales are a joke. More masa and very lacking of flavor. Maybe that's why it was empty when it's normally very busy

Do not waste your time or money going for tamales. Tamales are horrible!!! No seasoning, no flavor, you do not know what you're eating. We order pork and pork jalapeño...they were horrible !

I love this place so much! The best tacos ever I love their Barbacoa!! My family and I have been going there for years and it's always been great.
