Kathy’s Carry-Out

Got 2 chilli cheez dags.5 taquitoes.2 chicharone burritoes.2 drinks (orange fanta).for 17 buks. Filled me and my friend up good .had to take half my burrito home. chilli had good flavor they werent shy with the cheez and the taquitoes are hand made.5 taquitoes for 2 buks. amazballs!

Food was good. Tamales are tender masa with plenty of meat filling. Kathy burger is tasty, burger is big and perfectly cooked. Green chile is hot just the way I like it.
Give them a try!
Restaurant lobby was dirty. Tables sticky, floor slippery. Restroom had no paper towels.
Parking lot is too dark at night.
Takeout would be recommended.

This place is racist, because I’m white they wouldn’t serve me. Just stood there ignoring me as I patiently waited to order. After standing for ten minutes I just walked out. I know it’s the south Valley but com’on

I’ve only tried the carne adovada and egg burrito, but it was excellent. My dining companion was equally impressed.
Some of the online reviews I’ve read seem to focus on how this is or isn’t fast food, which I think is misleading. This is neither a chain restaurant nor is it a fine-​dining sit-​down experience. What started as a carry-​out food business now has an indoor space for sit-​in dining. If you’re looking for fast, then by all means go to the Golden Pride drive-​thru. Overall, the food is better and prepared with more care here.

This place is great. In contrast to Gordon M’s comment on the ambience, during the daytime it feels quite nice to me. Wide open, clean space, nice tile floor and counters, brightly painted pastel yellow and deep blue walls, and great wide-​open picture wiindows in 3 directions. Yes, the tables are mostly anchored to the floor, fast-​food style. I know it’s not exactly «ambience», but the place just feels good to me. Clean, pretty, spaces, a non-​corporate, homey feel, and tons of natural light with trees and sky and fall colors out the windows can do that to me, I suppose. :)
But of course, most importantly, the food is great, and very reasonably priced. 3 bean tostadas with a side of beans, chips, and rice for $ 4.50. Hard to beat that, even at Del Taco or Taco Bell. And of course it’s much higher quality. And local!
I’m not 100% sure that the refried beans are vegetarian, so you may want to ask about that or ask for whole beans if that’s a concern.
Salsa was delicious, if hot, spanish rice was perfect, tostadas were decent, and sopapillas were generously sized and excellent. Plus they got one of those Coca-​cola freestyle machines so you can get almost any mainstream corporate soft drink you want, including caffeine-​free diet coke, which I am unfortunately still addicted to (and helps cool the tongue down after the hot chile and salsa!)

This place is an institution. I remember eating tamales on the good of my car when it was carry-​out only, twenty-​some years ago. When I worked Rio Grande High School, this was my go-​to lunch place. They have since built a «dining room.» Nonetheless, no ambience, no atmosphere. Fluorescent lights, chairs embedded in the floor, and some killer food. Asi es la Valle. Love it. Stuffed carne adovada sopapilla is sublime.

Great food at this counter-​service establishment. Everything is made in house and it comes through in the wonderful flavors. No matter what you order it will be excellent. Can’t wait to go back!
