Mi Familia

Reviews & Tips

  After having dinner here many times, I think we're done.  The food has always been mediocre, service about the same (no one smiles, no one is happy to see you, no one knows the meaning of customer service or hospitality!) - and then to top it off, when you go to pay your check the cashier is so put out.  She even said we were impatient (after waiting for 5 minutes for her to show her face) when she finally appeared from somewhere.  Last I knew, you had a restaurant to serve people and create an atmosphere of fun and respite from cooking at home.  This is not one of those....

  My litmus test for any Mexican restaurant is a plate of crispy beef tacos, cheese enchiladas, rice and guacamole salad. I'm happy to report that this family-owned cantina delivered the goods. Washed it down with a cold draft Dos Equis Lager. My taste buds and tummy just wanna say, "Gracias!"

  What a nice "find" for us! The restaurant was clean and the service was efficient and courteous. We enjoyed the lunch specials and felt like we got a real bargain! Prices were good and the food was tasty and hot. Good chips and hot sauce, too. The locals eat here and it was pretty full by the time we left around 12:30p. Absolutely would stop here again when passing through.

  These must be Yankees or girly men who wrote these reviews. I ate at Mi Familia and found it excellent. Order their Carne Asada. (Fajitas are for ballparks and Taco Cabana). I had the Carne Asada and found it to be excellent. Topped it off with a cold Dos Equis and left fat and happy.

  Passing through Brady with my stomach on E, Mi Familia appeared to be the best that this town had to offer. The restaurant didn't look bad and had a decent layout, with a bar and two seating areas. The cantina/bullfighter/Aztec decor was typical but implied forethought and a good deal of effort to make this restaurant succeed. That I appreciated.
  
  What I didn't appreciate was the dirtiness of the place. For one, the place smelled bad as soon as I stepped in the door. I worked as a janitor for several years (yes, seriously), and I know the acrid rotting smell of using an old mop to mop the floors. Combined with the dirty-looking K-Mart tile used on the floor, I about walked out. Then we were seated next to a window seat, that had these huge long-dead moths trapped against the glass, not to mention other bugs and grime. Gross. To top it off, there was what looked like soil collected in the bottom of my water.
  
  Needless to say, I didn't walk out because I was starving. Also being a vegetarian in Texas has taught me a lesson in humility. About all I could scrape together sans meat from the menu was three rice tacos. Basically, Spanish rice in three taco shells. The lettuce, tomato, and cheese were lightly sprinkled on top of the tacos, making it look like a literal "taco salad" when served and made filling the tacos with the cheese but not the heated-to-gummy-grossness lettuce nearly impossible.
  
  I do have to say that the waitress was very nice. The cashier, however, seemed upset and would not make eye contact with us as we paid, which was even more disturbing, as I think she was the restaurant's manager.

  Your run of the mill Tex Mex joint.  I stopped on the way through to San Angelo after passing this restaurant probably 100 times on my trips home from Austin.  The feel of Mi Familia is comfortable with it's Mexican art and relaxed service.  Fajitas are a good way to test a Mexican restaurants chops and theirs underwhelmed.  There was a strange glaze on the meat, the sides were bland and the tortillas were stiff.  Also, what reason would you have to add a whole lemon to a fajita plate?  Nothing fantastic here but it's a nice quiet place to sit and consume.
