    Our favorite place to eat when we are in Corsicana! The orange dip is amazing and love the beef fajitas! They give you a lot for the price. My child and I always share they give you so much. Service is always great. We now have 5 to 10 people in our group if not up to 15. They always are quick and accommodating.

    They truly authentic Mexican food set the standard within the United States. The service is always kind, responsive, and anticipate your needs. The ambience is very much old-school Mexican restaurants from the 50s. The Deluxe Mexican dinner will keep you running all day long. Phenomenal, authentic flavors, textures, refried beans, and homemade tamales. If you pass this place by, honestly, you're missing a fantastic memory.

    First time guest and I really enjoyed the food. I'm a home style Tex Mex person and this place was great. Queso or cheese dip (depending on where you are from) was tasty. Beef enchilada and crispy beef taco were delicious. Ground beef was flavored well. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. Overall super experience. Disclaimer - I've eaten at Mexican restaurants all over and this fit my requirements. I don't need fancy, overpriced establishments to meet my Mexican food needs.

    This restaurant is a hometown favorite for a lot of people! It was the first place I took my husband when we were dating and he came to see my hometown and meet my parents. My college roommate loved this restaurant and it was where she brought her husband every time they visited home. The first thing I think of and crave when I think of "OMI" is orange dip. It's so unique and unlike anything served at any other restaurant. I love that it's free and comes out with the chips and salsa. When I'm visiting family or passing through I always buy my own $5 jar to take home. As for a meal, my go to is beef fajitas to share or beef fajita nachos! A few things to be aware of is that their sodas are served in glass bottles so the refills aren't free. They're closed all day on Mondays and there is typically a long wait on the weekend evenings. There are definitely better Tex Mex restaurants you can go to and I won't say this one is great, but it is good and I enjoy the environment!
