Reviews For Gaona's Mexican Bite

The breakfast tacos and plates exceeded my expectations for what breakfast should be. Do not skip on the homemade tortillas. The potatoes and beans are mouthwatering delicious. This is such a good place to eat, but as such, it can get busy. The atmosphere is good considering this restaurant was once a gas station. The decor creates a comfortable setting.

10/10! It was small but very welcoming, and very nicely decorated. The food was so good and the handmade flour tortillas were delicious. Would definitely come again, plus it’s close to casino!

You literally feel like if you are eating at your tia’s house in Mexico. The place looks so cute and well decorated. The staff is so friendly and always on point. I grew up in Mexico, the food is authentic. This place is a hidden gem for Eagle Pass, Texas. For the mornings I like menudo and a taco de barbacoa, ask for a side of beans so you can coat the barbacoa. For lunch I like getting una milanesa de res.

I think about this place and their amazing barbacoa at least once a day. If you're within 100 miles or so, this food is worth the drive. I was in town for a couple of days and ate their barbacoa for 4 meals.

Excellent intimate lil place. Very good menudo, a bit heavy on the chile Colorado but excellent. Waiter brought a sample of menudo, as I am particular on Menudo. Ordered the migas today, also an excellent choice. Bacon costs extra.

The food is dynamite in my opinion. Great taste and authentic flavors, true Mexican cuisine. The restaurant itself has homestyle feel and relaxed vibe. Small occupancy, so be sure to call ahead if you have a large party. The staff is friendly and polite, they're always happy to answer questions about their menu. Two thumbs up, check them out, you won't regret it.
