Live Oak Drive Thru draws a crowd, to the drive-through that is, since there is not a lot of space inside to sit. This restaurant is famous for its take out rather than for inside dining. People come from many miles around to purchase the tacos, gorditas, and homemade tortilla soup. In fact, Live Oak Gorditas was voted number one for South Texas! Open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 AM to 4 PM, you can order ahead to pop in and pick up. While you were waiting you may notice that numerous newspaper articles posted on the walls praising this restaurant over the years. The reputation for good food goes way back. The addition to the building to make a seating area is not fancy, but it is adequate for a few people.
There is a nice fire burning stove to take the chill off. But your best plan is to grab your food and head home, in case a handful of people may be dining there, or waiting to pick up their food, since there’s only a few wooden tables and chairs available. Choose from an assortment of meats including brisket, Carne guisada, smoked sausage, picadillo , steak ranchero, chicken fajita, and more. Make it a plate for $9.75 and it will include rice, beans, and tortillas.
