My wife and I love this place. It is our go to for Tex Mex in town. The only thing I've ever had that was less than great was to go fajitas. Probably steamed in the container and overcooked before we got it home. Carnitas, barbacoa, al pastor are all delicious. The serving sizes are just enough to fill me up with being miserable. The staff and service has always been excellent. Food is prepared quickly and accurately. We are checked on regularly and our drinks refilled if needed. I will continue to come back. I can't wait to try the breakfast options.

The food is pretty good for the price. Very cheap for large portions. That being said you obviously aren't getting great authentic Mexican food you are getting pretty good Tex Mex. For the price I'll rate it 5/5 all day. Service is fast but they won't put up with bs. If you experience attitude it's probably because of you. Ive seen their attitudes change real fast based on how nice you are to them. Vibe is what you would expect from a place you're getting a $4 burrito from. It's a little dingy. I'm not taking anyone on a date here but I'm still showing up every Sunday when I'm hungry and hungover.

This is my favorite place for Mexican food. The service is super hit or miss, like really no consistency there. But honestly, the food makes up for it. I love the white queso!

I came for a breakfast burrito. It's cooked fresh, but nothing special. The tortilla is large, fresh, but not homemade. It's fine. What is nice about this place is all you can eat Menudo, which is DELICIOUS. There are better burritos, these are average. The Menudo is top shelf, and looking at several of the plates coming out, lots of their food looks great. I'll be back, and I hope that they start making their own tortillas soon.

This review is solely based off of their breakfast burrito! I've tried a ridiculous amount of places here searching for a good breakfast taco and this place is the best in regards to the price for the portion size! I loved that the tortilla was actually heated on the grill. Good ratio of meat and egg. $4.50 for one bacon, egg, and cheese burrito! It's not the best breakfast burrito I've ever had, but it's the better option considering we're in Lubbock. Kinda resembles Fuzzy's taco shop in terms of flavor. All of the staff were friendly! Food came out fast! There isn't a drive thru, but it's a quick process for a good price.

Ordered takeout for dinner. Unfortunately it was the evening of storms and bad flooding. When our driver who was picking up finally made it to the restaurant, someone else had taken our order! Thankfully Picantes took care of us, remade the order, and had him quickly on his way. I ordered a Breakfast Quesadilla (pro tip - Picantes serves their breakfast all day) and the combo eggs, bacon, cheese in the quesadilla with salsa and sour cream was just right. I'm not sure if I received the normal portion on the Quesadilla but it was a lot! I have plenty left over for lunch tomorrow! We also ordered a Queso to split (they do not give chips with queso so we also ordered the chips & salsa, a curious custom but good to know when ordering). Queso was quite good!
