We love Taqueria Ocampo! We found them a few years ago by accident. My husband's family is from…read moreOcampo so he wanted to stop and try them out. Every once in a while when we have time we'll come in on a Sunday for breakfast. Everyone is always very nice. Ambience is very cute hole in the wall but kismall but clean and kept. So if there's a wait for a table you might be standing for a few minutes. Or you can do like we do and just order to go and eat in your car. The food is always good! Very good home cooked food. The menudo is delicious here!! Give them a try if you're looking for a taste of a good home cooked meal.

Highly recommend. I googled to find breakfast tacos when we first moved to Midlothian and this was…read morethe first place to pop up and I am so glad that it did. Its breakfast tacos are amazing and are ONLy $1.50 which I think is a steal. We have literally came over and over again getting these breakfast tacos since moving here. The service is awesome, the guy at the front (he is always there when I go) is so kind and he even remembered me after the first time we went. The parking in small which is probably the only downside but it still works. I think it's more of a take it to go type of place which I love how quick they are! If you haven't tried give it a try. We will be trying the street tacos next and I will update this review!!

I felt like I was in a school cafeteria because of this. I will say the music was nice and at a suitable volume. It was not played so loud that it interfered with conversation, especially if you wanted to eavesdrop on the table next to you. The menu was very limited. Food service was very slow. When the food finally arrived it was dried out and overcooked. My shrimp looked like it was cooked over a campfire like a marshmallow, complete with a black charred covering. Staff was very nice. Margaritas were pretty good. If you want to drink a lot, you should have plenty of time to drink 2-3 overpriced drinks before your food arrives. Wait staff is good about returning to see if you need another drink. I will certainly not be returning.

We had never stopped to eat here before. Not for any particular reason. We just make a lot of Tex…read moreMex at home. Our waiter was sweet and brought us all three of their salsas to try. We're big green salsa fans. The first table salsa had a fair amount of cumin in it. Not my favorite. The more piquant red was very good, very authentic and the green was muy picante! Delicious! We perused the menu; but ultimately we ordered simply. They have all kinds of wonderful combos; but I just wanted enchiladas. I did ask for salsa verde on the chicken enchilada; but when they came, they were all covered in chili gravy. My husband spotted a lunch special and so we asked if he could have it even though it wasn't lunchtime, and it was okay with a $2 upcharge. Happily, he ordered the tostada/soft taco, beans and rice plate and an additional two crispy beef tacos a la carte. My spouse enjoyed it all. It was just straight up Tex Mex; but good. So were my enchiladas. They were well filled and the meat was seasoned. The chicken was in chunks not shredded which texturally was wonderful. My only real complaint was that I found the music way too loud whether it was Country (and why Country?) or Mexican and they did turn it down when asked. It's also my hope that will get the plumbing fixed in the Ladies Room. To have to place all paper in a trash can that's across the room by the door means moving the trash can back and forth. That's totally unhygienic. There is plenty of parking in this strip center parking lot.

We had a stellar experience. The chips weren't the best but the rest of the food was spectacular…read more Our large party had everything from the chicken street tacos to the Barbacoa Torta. Great service and will be back!

Egg roll was very doughy, unmelted cheese stick stuck in the middle, and chicken wasn't pleasant. Nacho cheese had film on top and was concession stand cheese sauce. Someone missed the mark on the chipotle ranch. Right idea but terrible execution. Fried jalepenos-bland. You can't even tell what you are eating because it tastes like absolutely nothing. Chicken quesadillas-chicken was okay. It was bland but at least it had a grilled flavor. The cheese was shredded cheese that never melted, at.all. Fish tacos-fish was bland. Piled with so much bland toppings. The saving grace was the green crema it came with. Rice was good, black beans were good. Waitress/bartender never returned after serving my drinks. I will not be returning.

Great street tacos for the price. I had, Al Pastor, Barbacoa, Chicken, and Carne Asada with the red salsa. As I'm eating these delicious tacos, I want to share my salivating experience and give these guys some props. Starting a new restaurant is very difficult. My taste buds are dazzled by the rich flavor from the Carne Asada and Al Pastor, seasoned perfectly in my opinion. Even the barbacoa wasn't too greasy which is common place with street tacos. The salsa verde was good. The salsa roja on the other hand hits the nail on the head, if you are wanting that karate kid crane kick of spicyness in your mouth. Eat with confidence and know this place is great! read more

I ordered the California Burrito, to go - for lunch the next day, and it was pretty good. I made the 30 minute trip from Dallas, because of my previous experience, to try the Super Nachos...and get another California Burrito. The nachos were made of the same tortillo chips that come with the complimentary chips and salsa, which are quite thin. The grilled chicken was good but accompanied by beans, cheese, and pico, made the tortilla chips soggy. My plate was a mess within seconds of eating. The staff seems friendly, but I noticed that the young lady who waited on me, took my order, brought my food to me, and then never stopped by to check on me, even though I was only one of two customers in the restaurant on Thursday night. She did the same thing on Saturday night, even with my being right next to another table she was working. I had to get her attention to order my burrito to go. I was only in town for a trucking orientation and saw the great reviews on Yelp, so I took a chance on this place. If I'm in town, I'd try them again, but I won't get nachos unless they use thicker tortilla chips.

My second time back now and they are still working just as hard with a good sized crowd on a Saturday night. This time we ordered Lenga tacos, an asada burrito, a cheese quesadilla and a birria taco.

Having stumbled across this mini taqueria / carniceria while searching for good food around Mansfield, I couldn't be more elated to patronize this family owned spot. For starters, this is my kind of establishment. Zero pretension, no room for BS, and lots of excellent food that caters to the niche community that seeks it out. It is mainly a store that happens to sell various meats, along with limited groceries, and even cowboy hats (#1) with a couple of picnic tables for formality. The carnitas are indeed the real deal, with all the piggy parts lined up by the pound. There is also chicharron strips, orejas in slices, and breakfast options from potatoes and eggs to carne guisada in their hot display. Their enchiladas and gorditas are excellent and I was pleasantly surprised by the barbacoa, which was chock full of flavor. The staff working there typically caters to a Spanish-speaking crowd, so if one is not ready to make an attempt en español, then be prepared to point at some photos (#2) or bring some friends who can translate. As I understand it, they've recently opened up third-party delivery options, so folks can order virtually if needed. Since they're only open till 4pm daily, I'd recommend this as a lunch destination. ___________ (#1) Which might be the most Texas thing ever. (#2) Start with mine. They're tasty.
