Went here on a recommendation from a local. I ordered my usual mexican breakfast dish, Huevos Ala Mexicana. I believe that it was the best version of Huevous that I’ve ever eaten. Nothing special about the atmosphere. Simple decor, plenty of staff, very clean, no complaints. I will definitely be coming back.

I don't live in town anymore but when I come down I have to come get a burrito. I can't find anywhere in Houston that makes them like this. The staff is also so kind, and Mexico Tipico has been a favorite of my family's for over 30 years.

We needed some takeout since I was between doctors' appointments. It was divine!! If I was a betting woman, I'd wager one of the best Mexican restaurants in Port Lavaca! The workers were all a joy and, like I said, the food was amazing. Highly recommend.

Breakfast taco and coffee for 5 and change. It comes with refried beans on the side. If you order the Huevos Rancheros..... they're awesome...and the tortillas are fresh and warm.

Great breakfast food / I haven’t tried meals at other times of day yet but I will. Mom / Pop style restaurant. Tortillas are home made and everything I’ve tried from there is awesome.
