Casa Morales - Lufkin

We ate in Casa Morales after picking up the highway at Paul Nerren's Junk Barn. Morales Special and Salsas were exceptional. Large bar with jukebox and texmex

Authentic Mexican, very good food, great service, friendly and cozy! This location serves beer and margaritas, while the original location (at downtown Lufkin) is not.

That's pretty good. But if you come in a large group, are prepared for very slow service. For over half an hour, before only half of our group got food. Or even refill on drinks. Apart from that, the food is delicious.

Very hole in the wall-esque. The place is a little run down, but the owner was really sweet. Bathroom has 2 stalls with no door, so a little weird, but the door had a lock. We were a little skeptical about the restaurant, because we stopped by on our way home, however we were glad to say the food was really good! I didn't like their tortilla chips much, the ones I had were grainy and tasted weird, but their salsa is good and food is great overall. Great Mexican food. If you like hole in the walls, though they have a few of these around, try it out.

A long time friend recommended this place and I decided to buy him lunch. The place is easy to miss if you are not looking for it off Hwy 59. It's has a little rundown outdated scenery but in a month this place will be relocated closer to Lufkin due to the Hwy expansion project. Not sure of the actual location at this time. Despite it's less than appealing atmosphere the food was actually really good. I only got to try one dish that was called the Eddie Special. It consisted of three enchiladas (meat of your choice) and three crispy tacos with your choice of meat, refried beans, lettuce tomato and avocado for less than $12 which to me was a good value for the amount served. Given my first impression of the meal I highly recommend anyone in the area to visit before they close this location but don't forget to ask about the new location coming soon.
