Mary Lou's Cafe

This week was my first time coming here and I had to come back again. The first time I had the menudo and this time I had the caldo de res. With the menudo .. everything is on the side so you can add all the serrano peppers onions etc that you want. I absolutely love this restaurant and it has quickly won me over. The chips and salsa are also heaven on earth. I can't wait to bring more friends and family. The food, atmosphere and workers are all amazing.

This was our first time at Mary Lou’s Cafe. There wasn’t a wait so we were seated a little after we walked in. Food: We were served waters, coffees and our daughter got a big red. The coffee was ok and the big red was very tasty. The waitress brought out chips and salsa with our drinks. I thought they were both good. My and husband and daughter weren’t a fan. They like more of a roasted salsa. My husband did ask and they brought out a green so they don’t a roasted salsa. My husband and daughter ordered barbacoa taco, bean and cheese taco. They didn’t have a barbacoa plate listed on the menu so my husband asked if they could make me a barbacoa plate so I had scrambled eggs, potatoes, refried beans and barbacoa and he had to ask for flour tortillas. I don’t know if those were included with the plate since he had to ask and she only brought 2 in the container. My plate was good I can’t complain. My husband and daughter didn’t care for barbacoa well not that didn’t care for it, it just didn’t have a lot of flavor. They had to add salt which kinda help. I’m sure it would have been fine if there was a descent salsa. Flour tortillas: Yes. They were fluffy, homemade and left flour on your fingers which is the true test. Lol. Service: I can’t remember her name but she was very welcoming and polite. Atmosphere: The place wasn’t packed so the noise quality wasn’t overwhelming. They have a bar and tv which was on but still not bad. Seating was good.
