Irene's Mexican Restaurant 816 North I Road, San Juan, TX 78589

"Very rude and unprofessional owner Eddy? Eric? Found out that the tostadas are re used if another table doesn’t finish theirs they put them back in the bag, same thing with salsa gets poured back in the same container if table doesn’t finish it. Barbacoa tasted old got stomach sick, Overall worst experience with that rude guy who disrespects his customers and staff, way better places to stop nearby"

"I got the lunch special, beef tostadas. Everything was good only thing was that at the middle of finishing my tostada I got a really bad taste. I started smelling my tostadas because I was freaked out and it smelled like the rag they they use to clean the tables. My guess is maybe they cleaned the counter they were cutting the vegetables that went on my tostada with that same rag and sometimes those rags over time get a smell of ugly water… I honestly didn’t want to fight with a person that charges for refills and states “NO SHARING FOOD” around the restaurant… I honestly took my L; payed for the food and left. I don’t recommend it at al. I’d like to add that all 3 of my tostadas smelled off, I don’t want anyone getting sick"

"Food is really good. Their caldo de res great no matter the weather other menu items will not disappoint . Good service."

"The Huevos Rancheros here are good, but for some odd reason the prices aren't on the Menu's, ask the price before you order, for $5.50 you get 2 eggs, refried beans and potatoes (the bacon was $1-$2 extra). The eggs were almost perfectly cooked over medium, the salsa for the eggs was okay, the potatoes were made fresh to order they were very crispy yet tasty even without seasoning, the refried beans were okay, the bacon was chopped but it tasted really good. Overall the breakfast here was good, I just didn't like the fact that prices aren't on the menu, this can easily be a trick to overcharge unaware customers."

"For Southern Texas, where there are a million Mexican restaurants, the food here was rather bland. I asked for a roasted jalapeño and received a small dish of canned, sliced jalapeños. And somewhat high priced at many $13 plates. At least the $13 plates include two cans of soda pop. The chips and salsa were good. The service was excellent. The establishment is crystal clean. They have a lot more seating inside than it looks like from the outside."
