The bistek tacos are fantastic with fresh ingredients and three levels of heat to choose from at the table.The restaurant is super clean and the service is prompt.

Tacos are my favorite especially pastor. Beans used to be really good but they taste different now. Agua frescas are pretty good as well. It's usually fairly clean as well. Serves are pretty friendly as well. Give them a try if you haven't already.

The food was the best Mexican I've had. Birria tacos were fire! Service was mediocre with the language barrier but Louis was helpful and awesome compared to our server. Ambiance was fun for the kids with the birds on the patio.

The place was clean. We got sat promptly. Small Place though. The language barrier was rough but not because the server spoke Spanish, he wasn't listening. We speak Spanish lol. My husband ordered a torta of asada with melted cheese and he got non melted cheese. The torta was boring to look at, it did not look appealing. I ordered the beef flautas which were excellent. I also ordered 2 asada tacos on corn and one on flour with onions and cilantro which were very good. There was a choice of 3 salsas. All tasty. When we arrived we were immediately asked if we wanted beans and we said sure. The servers question came across as if the beans were complimentary but to our surprise they were not. $2 for plain beans. Nonetheless the place is reasonable priced and good for that price.

This place was a total happy accident for us on a trip to South Padre Island. We spent the day visiting the turtles on Padre, hanging out at the beach and then back at the pool at the hotel. Ya'll know how it is after being out in the water all day, you just want something cold to drink and some comfort food. We originally had a chain restaurant in mind, but missed the exit and upon making a U-turn, we saw this place. It is located right off the highway, pretty close to the boarder. Parking was tight and the place was packed around late dinner time. Luckily we were seated right away and given menus. Be aware, the language barrier is real here. Nobody (atleast everyone we dealt with) spoke English. The menu was in Spanish as well. No biggie for me. Hablo muy poco español. I can order tacos for sure! The menu isn't large, You basically have tacos, flautas and tortas to choose from. I wasn't made at this menu at all. The prices were insanely cheap as well. I don't think I saw anything over 7 bucks. Everyone in my party went with tacos. Tacos de harina to be exact. I knew that meant tacos on flour tortillas so I went with that. I know I may get some slack for not getting it on corn, but I like what I like. I ordered a variety of different things like bistek, al pastor and barbacoa. I like mine with cilantro and onion as it should come. They had a variety of salsas as well. These tacos were amazing. I knew being this close to the border and the amount of people in here meant I was in for the real deal and that is exactly what I got. Don't sleep on the charro beans here either. Delicious! If you can look past the language barrier and the not so fancy setting, you should definitely check this spot out. I know I will pop in next time I am in the valley.

I'm trying to hit up all the best tacos down in the valley before I move back up north and El Ultimo Taco Taqueria has set the bar high!! We came in during lunch hour and the weather was perfect so we were able to quickly be seated in the spacious patio area. The server was friendly and brought out our food quickly. They started us off with complimentary charro beans which was so hot and flavorful! The quesatacos were LOADEDD with meat and cheese! Each bite was a flavor explosion that I kept wanting more of despite feeling full. If you want the juiciest meat with the best cheese pulls these do not disappoint. The bistec tacos and my friend's mulitas were great too, but I'll definitely come back here just for the quesatacos!
