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 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.

Lala's serves the most delicious Mexican food. I have been eating at Lala's for over 40 years. No other Mexican restaurant can come close. The corn tortillas are homemade. The tacos are puffy. They are light, perfectly fried and not thick with too much masa. They are not soggy nor fall apart when eating. The chalupa is perfect. I love every dish served at Lala's. Lala's is located in Miranda City, TX. It's a very small community of about 366 residents. Their customers drive from other cities just to eat this fabulous food.

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.
