Food was delicious never disappoint This is a good place too eat at when in Mexico
Fajitas!! Yup..these guys have great fajitas and the salsas are a perfect touch for the tacos. Distilled Water Gallons for the Coffee brought out the aroma and taste just right. Service was fast but with just the right amount of come back again feel. Great place for friends and family to have a meal and just enjoy.
The coffee is hot, the food is delicious (especially the cinnamon rolls!!) and the the staff is phenomenal. The management here does a good job being clean and mitigating the spread of Covid. I highly recommend dining here.
This was my first food experience in Nuevo Progreso. I am glad we walked into this place! To start, we were given totopos (nacho chips) with cream, American cheese, and shredded White Queso. It was delicious! These are on the house, as starters. While I waited for my food, I ordered a Michelada with Cerveza Indio. It was dressed with cucumber, green olives, and chamoy. It was so refreshing, and tasted great! I tried the TAMPIQUEÑA plate as an entrée. It was well-portioned with a very cheesy quesadilla, two chicken enchiladas, beef, rice, refried beans, french fries, and avocado. I loved it!
There are plenty of places to eat when visiting this side of the border. However, if looking for breakfast, … look no more. Great tasting food served efficiently. Portions are large. And! You can grab your pan dulce and either bring it to your table or take it to go. Their pan dulce was not the best we have had. Hence the 4 stars.
Visited Rene's for the first time during breakfast time. The place was packed as the city was celebrating Tourism Day. Despite the restaurant being packed, service was excellent, the food was delivered quickly and it was delicious. I ordered a taco of machacado con guevo. The wait staff was very friendly and took our order quickly. Very impressed how good the food was and ability to serve despite being packed.
Small Mexican diner with excellent food at very reasonable price. Great friendly service. We ordered the half plate of nachos and a ham and cheese omelette. With drinks and coffee was under $20.
???????? Food was delicious & quick to get a table. Service was good and the restaurant & bathrooms were clean. We arrived close to closing ⏰& they were accommodating nonetheless. Also got some bakery items on the way out. And they look like they had quite the setup during normal hours. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.
