Breakfast tacos were wonderful. From out of town and really enjoyed the food. The young lady behind the counter was very friendly. Will visit again when in Corpus Christi!
delicious waters, we ordered agua de limon y agua de sandilla (watermelon). the beef enchiladas are traditional chicano tex mex. the caldo de pollo was my daughter's favorite, with homemade flour tortillas. The tacos are super delicious with the salsas being the only downside for us, since we like spicy salsa. The chicken mole is a bit sweeter than i prefer but it was nice. The beans are authentic Mexican refried beans . Would recommend this place with outdoor dining or drive through.
I love their tacos! I call in order and they have it ready to go! Awesome service!! Highly recommend to anyone!!!
I used to live in flour bluff and that was back in 1995 and the taco stand was a huge hit with the high school kids. I haven't been back except once and that was in 2019. My husband and I went so he could try these tacos and they r still as good as they were back in the day! He was very very impressed! We leave in 2 days and he wants to go back everyday and take some home with us!!!! Best place ever and we will definitely b back everytine we come to the bluff!!
Here we are at the inaugural end of Summer (Labor Day weekend), school is back in session, and I feel compelled to show some love to one of the best taquerias in Flour Bluff, Corpus; Taqueria Almeida. Located on Waldron right adjacent to Flour Bluff High School, it is a local institution providing a safe haven for students to congregate before, during and after school. Its actually quite ideal! It is a cheap open-air taqueria with a drive-thru for added convenience. The food is great, and so is the atmosphere, IMO. I do not come here very often, but when I head to the beach using Yorktown as a backroad, I try to stop here when I can to grab brunch. What's more is the staff are always super nice and accommodating. I usually just get carne asada, bacon and eggs (with salsas!). Since there is no way to conveniently ring that up (they don't operate on a modern Point-of-Sale (POS) computer system), they always figure out a workaround for me to keep it relatively cheap. I enjoy coming here and listening to the crowd. It's not just highschoolers, but tons of locals. This place really is a Flour Bluff institution! If you are in the area, consider stopping by and supporting this nice little taqueria that provides such a great service to its local community. I promise you will not be disappointed!
Amazing Mexican food - the barbacoa is AMAZING. Every time cone you The Bluff it's a must stop at!!!
