Every day at 8 a.m., we start chopping veggies, soaking beans, and prepping our mesquite-fired grill. Not because we have to, but because we believe in delicious flavors made-to-order, from hand-rolled enchiladas to our sizzling fajitas to guacamole made

Starting off they have good chips and salsa. My wife and I both ordered the cheese enchilada lunch special which included two cheese enchiladas with a plentiful bowl of rice and beans. Everything was good. Louis was our server and he was polite and attentive. Overall a very good experience.

We really enjoy this place when we come to Tyler. The food is really good, the service is good and everybody has been friendly. If you want a wide variety of food, try the Papacitaâs dish. Be sure to bring your appetite because it is a huge serving. The fajitas are really good and the tamales are nice and moist and are also well flavored.

Come to Lago del Pino to experience all that makes Tylerâs destination restaurant an oasis in the countryside. From its spectacular private lake views and its distinctive fountain show, to its eclectic live music, relaxed fine dining, and fabulous wine li

Visited the area over Labor Day Weekend with my family. We searched restaurants near The Villages Resort. Lago Del Pino came up, we searched their website, their website is great. Thatâs as far as it went for the greatness. We made a reservation for 630 for a party of 7. We arrived at 630 and were told that âyour table is ready, but itâs gonna be 15 minutes till someone can attended to you.â That should have been a red flag!! We sat at a table outside to enjoy the view of the lake. The table was filthy, no one cared to wipe it down. We had 3 children with us and I asked for children menus, they never came. I had to get up and walk to the front to ask for them. The young lady who was the host, apologized and said they were so busy! Itâs 630 and the place was no where near busy. They are simply disorganized, unprepared and unqualified to be operating as a restaurant. We ordered our food and it took No less then an hour for 3 kids filet mignons, $17 EACH kids meal!!! (a $51 rip off!) an order of tacos, one pork chop and a salad!! We sat there for so long without food that other servers came to ask us if we had been helped?? After about an hour and twenty minutes our food arrived cold and very underwhelming. To top it off we had no utensils, we had to ask for forks and knives, that took another 5 minutes to get. Food was not good at all. It was a waste of $100, I wish I could get that $100 and the two hours of my life back. Please avoid this place at all cost. We thought we would be getting a fine dining experience from the images on the website. Iâve had better meals from a food truck. I hate to leave bad reviews because places have off days but this was ridiculous. I watched other tables during our long wait and notice other tables having to request plates for the appetizers! This place should close its doors. This was suppose to be my sons birthday dinner but we didnât even stay for dessert. If you want a great experience with great food, you must try The Grove in Tyler. We had to take my son there the next evening to celebrate. The whole experience there was amazing from start to finish. Please see my review of The Grove with pictures. The $200 meal at The Grove was worth ever penny and then some. Lago Del Pino needs to take notes on how to run a restaurant from The Grove. If I could give this place 0 stars I would!!!!

Reviewed By JayC103
We ate here with a large group. We were seated upstairs, to accommodate the group, not knowing that there was no restroom on the 2nd floor. That made it very uncomfortable for the children and ladies. It took forever for our lone waitress to make it around to all the guests and I felt sorry for her but someone in management should have seen to getting her some help. Then, to make matters even worse for my wife and I, our two burgers were the last items delivered from the kitchen. The Lone Star burger was the worst burger I have ever had. The meat was tasteless and by putting a fried egg on a burger just made it slip apart, which could have been a blessing. I couldn't eat it all, and that was not such a bad thing.I also felt that the prices were very high for the quality of food served.

The taste of the food is very good. However, on the day we ate there the food was not served hot. The waitress came out with the dishes picking up each with a rag saying âhot dish.â Truthfully, the plates were cold (an infant could not have burned his hand) and the food barely warm. Best thing about the meal was the Sr lunch price after 4:00 pm. Portions were just the right size for a senior.

My wife and I stopped by this Torchy's in Tyler and we're familiar with them since we've gone to them in the Austin area. We split the green chili quest & chips that is really outstanding. Lots of calories, but incredibly good. My wife ordered one of the breakfast tacos and I ordered the taco of the month that had an Asian flair. Both were excellent. The service was fast and friendly and the prices are decent.

My mom and I eat at Abueloâs every time we go to Tyler. The food is consistently delicious! I enjoy the three salsas you get with chips- thereâs a mild red, a green sauce thatâs slightly sweet with pineapple, and a spicy red. My mom ordered a margarita there- I only took a sip because I was driving- but it was THE BEST Iâd ever tasted. Itâs called the El Jefe. My favorite lunch item is the Tilapia Vera Cruz. Oh so good! Friendly service, great food- try it, you will love it!

We were wanting some good Mexican food * Wrong place to go. Ordered Flautas and Enchiladas the Flautas were maybe at the most 2" long no sauce no guacamole (these were not the appetizers but the meal) just 2 tine Flautas with lots of Jalapenos on a plate. Enchiladas has chicken no cheese in or on them. And they were cold / warm like that had been sitting out for a while **Gross. Paid way too much for what we got. Never Again. There are too many good places I will not try this one again
