Some of the very best Mexican food, In san Angelo. They're very nice. The only thing I know of is the desserts they serve are way too big.

This is a quaint cafe, super friendly wait staff. My plate was the Sasha Special (Kid's or Senior's plate). Very good and satisfying. Husbands plate was chili relleno with carne Molina, (ground beef) guacamole w/ Pico rice and beans. When we are back in San Angelo we will be back.

The best chili relleno I've ever had their deserts are too tempting to pass on. We shared a German chocolate cake and couldn't finish it Service was fine too. Lots of people were there so the good value word gets around

If you try this place, you will not be sorry. Star the 4.5 stars on here and gave it a try. Seriously like the best steak tacos I've ever had, so much flavor. The Salsa's were great as well. The place was very clean and friendly staff. Will definitely be back again this week before I leave town. Well done Armenta's

Get in your car and pleaseeeee come visit this establishment. When I tell you they serve amazing food, and great customer service. I was in town for business and all I can say is I went 2 days in a row. Each time was greater and full of flavor. I went with the favorite porkchop special. It's huge, 2 pork chops, rice, guacamole, beans and warm tortillas. The salsa is spicy and just the right amount of kick. This chips are hot and fresh. I returned the next day and had the Taco Perricos, marinated beef fajita meat. Loaded plate and enough to share or take home. I took it to my hotel and had a late night treat. Happy faces, full tummies and satisfaction on all menu choices. I promise you won't be disappointed. Take care, happy eating.

Armenta's Cafe has been around for about 28 years and has been serving the residents of San Angelo, Texas. Everyone in town knows, and has been too, Armenta's - and now it's our turn. Armenta's sits on a corner in a residential section of San Angelo with parking of the sides and a big parking lot across the street, where we parked. A good number of people are here and Armenta's has expanded out to one side with a nice large dining area. We went in via the Main Front Door, were greeted by the Hostess and informed to take a seat anywhere you want. Found a booth and made ourselves comfortable. By looking around inside you can tell Armenta's has been around for a long time and has a Very Warm feeling, but well used. It's also kind of crowded with tables in the center stationed pretty close to the booths and the decor is what one would expect in a Mexican Restaurant - nicely done, especially in the newer section. Maci is our Server and brought over a basket of their Very Warm Fresh Chips and a bowl of their Very Hot dipping Sauce, but very Flavorful - and it is HOTTT. My Wife and I started off with a glass of water. We looked over the Menu trying to decide what we want. A couple days ago I informed my Wife and they have Fried Shrimp, which is one of her favorites - and that's what she wants. Maci returned with our waters and we placed our order. My Wife is going with the "Fried Shrimp": 6-Large Fried Shrimp with French Fries, Rice Pilaf, Salad and Toast. I am having "Armenta's Fajita Enchiladas"; 3-Soft Rolled Corn Tortillas filled with Marinated Beef Fajitas, American & Monterrey Cheese. Served with Roasted Tomatoes, Chile De Arbol Sauce, garnished with Guacamole. For our drinks my Wife is having a Diet Coke and I ordered their Horchata. It's been a long time since I had one of those and I LoVe ThEm. Maci took our order and we enjoyed those Warm Chips and HOTTT dipping sauce - that stuff is really goooood. More and more people are coming into Armenta's and all the tables & booths are filled. The adjoining room has it's own outside door for access and they are almost filled up - lots of people are here. Maci brought over our drinks, chatted with us for a short time and I presented her with the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award and she loved it. I don't always hand it out early like this, but Maci is Very Sweet in checking on us as she has and this place is really busy - she earned it. My Horchata is really good with a nice amount of Cinnamon throughout - love that flavor. Soon my Wife's Fried Shrimp arrived and those 6-Large Shrimp are actually Red in color due to the Breading, which has a nice crunch to them and tastylicious Shrimp inside (my Wife let me have one). Her Rice Pilaf is on the dry side but her Salad is Fresh and Crisp. The French Fries are also a little dry and no crunch but you can tell they are All Potato with nothing added. My Fajita Enchiladas is a Beautiful Presentation of the entire dish. The Enchiladas has a fair amount of Fajitas inside and they are different but pretty good. Love the Chile De Arbol Sauce on top, some really good flavor there. The Rice is moist with good flavor and the Re-fried Beans (which was not listed) covered with Cheese is really good - nice flavor. I actually had a couple of my Wife's Shrimp and there were some French Fries left on her plate. I ate all of mine because that's what I do - and I do it very well. Nancy even made a comment about that, that her Mom would be very proud of me cleaning my plate - like I said, it's what I do. Armenta's is pretty good, especially for the price compared to other places. You get some good food that will fill you up for a little money - and some Darn Good Service. The whole time we were there we noticed that All their Staff is really busy taking care of their customers. When we left there were a lot of vehicles parked around Armenta's and the big lot was almost full. We enjoyed our 12th Anniversary outing and Armenta's is a nice place. We are going to lighten it up for our Dinner tonight because we ate a Big Lunch.

Came for lunch and enjoyed it! I had the carne asada tacos and enjoyed them! I didn't like the rice very much, but the beans were great. I also liked how they gave you limes and a side of other toppings for the tacos. Overall it was a good experience!

This was good. I came on the recommendation of multiple people where I am working this week. It's the best Mexican food I've had in Texas. It has flavor and some spice. Service was friendly. I ordered a few things to try multiple things, and even though I hadn't eaten all day, I couldn't finish everything. my favorite was the cheese enchilada, but the fajita meat in the tacos was excellent. The chile relleno was also very good. The rice had good flavor, and I don't think I had had ranchero beans before. Overall very good, short wait, friendly service. The family also owns "the grill."
