Jay HOctober 13, 2017I think that the quality of service has declined. Coming on Saturdays for over 5 years when there were outside lines to get in, now most tables are empty. Prices are up. Quality of food - excellent!Upvote1Downvote
Clark LesleyAugust 13, 2013The Fiesta taco is my favourite! It has chicken and peppers. Delish. When you get in, mosey yourself down to a seat- as there are two doors and people compete with seats.UpvoteDownvote
Mary MartinezAugust 21, 2014And the crispy tacos were like Package tacos. Tucson arizona has the best Tacos Rachael Ray and Guy Feri need to visit Arizona in Tucson. Would not recommend Taco Taco to anyone!UpvoteDownvote
Saveur MagazineApril 9, 2012San Antonio is the capital of Tex-Mex, and whenever we've got a hankering for that singular style of spicy, cheesy, bighearted cooking we seek out a few classic spots in the city Read moreUpvoteDownvote- Clark LesleyAugust 13, 2013There are a few vegetarian options: papa ranchera, fresh avocado, Guacamole Salad, Chili con Quesk enchiladas (no meat), Spinach EnchiladasUpvoteDownvote
Alan WilliamsDecember 3, 2012Small little hole in the wall but the tortillas may be the best in town. It's no accident that this place has been featured on The Food Network and Bon Appetite magazine.UpvoteDownvote
Zac NOctober 1, 2015You know what I really like to eating here the food was great but it's a tiny Restuarant and Service can be kind of slow cuz there's typically only like three or four people workingUpvoteDownvote
Wayne SurberJanuary 4, 2012Sit at the Bar and watch the ladies make tortillas. The tortillas are great. The breakfast tacos are good, everything else is...ok..coffee is diner coffee, could be a lot darker.Upvote1Downvote
Best breakfast tacos at any restaurant anywhere. Helen just adds a little Greek magic to these tex-mex staples to kick them into the sublime. Opa!UpvoteDownvote- James CasillasMarch 20, 2012You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! Everything is delicious, especially their Breakfast Tacos! You can't have just one!UpvoteDownvote
Renee CurtisSeptember 27, 2014The super taco is good tho a little light on the sausage. Service is okay. Sometimes great, sometimes just average. But a great place to eat overallUpvoteDownvote

Stacy RyanApril 13, 2012This place is always busy (one bite and you'll know why). Go on a weekday for a shorter wait.UpvoteDownvote
They have the best home made tortillas I've ever had. Breakfast tacos are the bomb diggity too!UpvoteDownvote
Christine NgoAugust 27, 2011One of the best taco shops in SA. try their nortenos chicken or beef, amazing!Upvote2Downvote
Clay ChastainMay 31, 2010This place is cheap and good. Get a bean and cheese burrito and ask to add hamburger meat. Best thing you can get that's not breakfast.UpvoteDownvote
George GibsonMay 5, 2012Get the Barbacoa tacos only available on Saturday & Sunday. Excellent!Upvote1Downvote- jan medinaAugust 28, 2018So for this being on drive inns and dives... the food was ok... it was obvious the owner needed help...the service was not up to par...Upvote1Downvote
- The chorizo con huevo a la mexicana is the bomb diggity!!UpvoteDownvote
Daniel MayerJuly 12, 2010Breakfast tacos so good I can't help but wonder why only Texas seems to be in to the breakfast taco. The hype about this place is entirely justified.Upvote5Downvote
wolfie MMay 27, 2013Good tacos, bad service. The bad service part is weird considering there were were about 7 waitstaff crammed into that tiny place. Dirty silverware, but that's ok - we ate our tacos with our hands.UpvoteDownvote- Mary MartinezAugust 21, 2014Terrible slow service, ran out of lengue (tongue) tacos, the award winning dish was terrible, a puffy tortilla with very little beans and 2 pieces if avocado and chicken. The tortilla soup was coldUpvoteDownvote
KarinNovember 25, 2018This place used to be THE taco place! Sadly it's gone downhill. Service is slow, salsa is watery. Do yourself a favor and go to Blanco Cafe instead

ReySeptember 15, 2012For this side of town the tacos are decent ...best in the city? Not even close.Upvote3Downvote

Kathryn IsaacsonJanuary 12, 2011On food network for best tacos for a reason, best homemade tortillas ever!UpvoteDownvote
Chelsea GarzaDecember 29, 2018Nothing...the service was horrible the manager told me and my 90 year old grandmother to "Get Lost!" after I told her I was going to write a review about my horrible experience there!UpvoteDownvote
Lana MannMarch 21, 2013I was really excited to eat here but in the end disappointed! Food was bland, dull and overall poor tasting! Hamburger meat in my puffy taco wasn't even fully cooked! Service sucked! Will not return!UpvoteDownvote
StephanieApril 7, 2014Meh. Forgettable. So many better taco joints in SA. This place is all the talk because of being featured on Triple D.UpvoteDownvote
Javier LaraAugust 21, 2011No Big Red?!?!?!? Um, you are no longer the best taco place in the country!!!Upvote1Downvote
- The tacos are decent. Not great. But the restaurant is just too damn small.UpvoteDownvote
David StanfordApril 8, 2013The food is nowhere near as good as it was a decade ago. I wouldn't bother eating here again.Upvote1Downvote
Victor PortilloJuly 13, 2013Had the infamous "Norteño". Overrated. This thing only has a few normal ingredients. Houston does it better.Upvote1Downvote
