"We stopped here for lunch on our way to the beach in Port Aransas. I have never been through Nixon so we figured we would find the restaurant with the most cars parked outside as it probably meant it was the best. We were not disappointed. I had the carne guisada, my wife had the chalupas, my son had the puffy tacos, and my daughter got the cheeseburger. We were all impressed with the food. Maybe the best carne guisada I’ve ever had. The homemade flour and corn tortillas were incredible. Friendly service and great food. A few days later we were headed home and we mates through to time our trip so we could stop here for lunch again. And again, it did not disappoint. Food was excellent and the waiters who had a different section this time came over to say hello and ask is how we were doing. Pros: great food, good prices, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. It’s an older building but it has a lot of character. Cons: the sodas are canned so there are no free refills on them. The restrooms arenot great. It’s an old building with old plumbing and they ask that you stash the toilet paper in a wastebasket next to the toilet instead of flushing it down. So there is a strong and foul odor, but it’s a bathroom at a Mexican. Food joint so it kind of goes with the territory. That won’t stop us from making this a regular stop any time we are headed to the beach. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"
