Traveling through Montalba, TX on highway 19 we stopped for lunch at Irene’s Cocina.
It had a typical small Texas town look. It was not very busy and they were closing soon.
We were greeted with a smile and told to sit anywhere.
The menu was written on a whiteboard. It was a simple menu with about eight choices. The drinks were self serv. Various sodas, tea and water.
The food was delivered hot fresh and on the finest (styrofoam) china. Everything had good flavor.
It is worth a stop if traveling through town but don’t expect anything fancy.
It has many things decorating the building to look at while waiting.
I will return if traveling through the Texas back roads in this area again.

Fantastic, homemade, quality Mexican food. The Chile Relleno, Quesadilla, BIG burrito, steak taco & buenelos are delicious. The owners actively work in the restaurant and provide first class customer service.

We were just driving past wandering around on the weekend and actually drove past this place. We immediately made a U-turn because we were hungry.
We were just taking a random chance on some little tiny restaurant. We absolutely were not disappointed! The food was great and the service matched! Do not pass this up if you are ever in the area! It is definitely worth a quick stop for some delicious food and great hospitality!

Had the tamales de pollo. They were really good. Came out really hot with a side of beans and rice and green and red salsa.
We had an online meeting to join on, and they were super accommodating and friendly.
Highly recommend this place to anyone driving through who wants some great Mexican food.

Found this place by accident on my through East Texas, and could not resist stopping in. Charming atmosphere, and the food was great! Owners Irene, Robert and their daughter Alexa were very hospitable as well. I will definitely find a reason to come back, but next time with family.

We love coming here. If we’re going to dine out it’s going to be an amazing place like Irene’s Cocina. Highest quality Mexican food in East Texas that I’ve had and we’ve run the roads a lot.
