If you are close to this place in the middle of no where South Texas, stop in Oilman, TX at Lala’s. It’s a bucket list kinda old divey place. All the food is prepared few hours before service. Everything was delicious, no frills, no fancy stuff. Great homemade food especially the Mexican food, salsa, hamburgers.

Great tradition Mexican Food with a a shot of homemade hot sauce. Nothing beats the Mexican Plate unless you ask for it sloppy.

The lunch was very good as everything is made from scratch. The crispy beef tacos are to die for. It was my first time in there and my friend gave me a tour of the restaurant as well as the kitchen. Everything was very clean and orderly. I drove from Corpus Christi for this excellent lunch. Oh it is a historic marker also.

I was expecting something spectacular after hearing so many rave reviews from others. The enchilada sauce was watered down. The crispy tacos must have been fried in oil that wasn’t hot enough because it took forever to get the grease off my lips. The taco did have a generous amount of meat. I don’t plan on going back.

Legendary place, but seemingly not as good as I remembered it on other visits. Who knows, maybe it was an off day. Hopefully next time will leave me planning my next visit back. Large Mexican plate is a must.

I ate here a couple if times in 1979 when I was working as a field geophysicist south of Mirando City. We would drive out from Laredo for dinner. The food and service was fantastic back then.

The food knocks it out of the park. Easily the best tacos I’ve ever had. The cafe has been there for about 70 years and is a South Texas institution. It’s just a little shack, so don’t expect a fancy restaurant. Highly recommend.
