    chicken Taco Plate

    Obsessed with this place! Great food, amazing service--everything's spot on! Definitely order any of the tacos.

    Radish here with the family! We got a bit hungry after a science museum and came here! I ordered the veggie taco and it was good and fresh but I'm afraid of bell peppers & it was the main ingredient so I cried. Anyways!! The rest of the food my family ordered was good and they said the reviews of "flavorless" food is because the food is very fresh. If you want "flavor" order something spicy, nerd. Unfortunately their soda machine was out of carbonation but they gave us bottled drinks with no price change. (Lil bro said the fries were good) soda was tasty. I ate a lime

    When my Nextdoor.com buzzed about this place, I questioned is it worth the hype? It's worth the hype! I grew up with my Mexican-American bestie and this food reminds me of what her dad would prepare. The manager looks similar to Enrique Iglesias but you're here for a different kind of meat. Ha! As a creature of habit, I suggest the carne asada tacos and I order it a la carte. The kids meals are a great value. After church, sometimes you just want a corona and a slice of a lime? Big Tacos has you covered. The music and ambiance are family friendly. Casual dining. Certain peak times will have you waiting a tad. They are a newer establishment and this is to be expected. I've encouraged the manager to get on Doordash! We need authentic taqueria places to spice up McKinney's food scene. Big Tacos has have arrived!

    Read reviews before coming here and we're convinced I'd have amazing tacos. They were not bad by any means but they weren't amazing either. The lady there is so nice; the place is nicely set up. The menu has a ton of options but on this day I wanted tacos. My family and I all got taco plates of some sort. I got the asada, pastor and barbacoa. The asada was not good in my opinion just lacking in flavor. The barbacoa was cooked perfectly but the flavor again was a little underwhelming. The pastor that was the winner I wish I would've gotten three of those. The flavor was great. Rice and beans were really nice; I loved the guac and the fact that the chips were house made. The sauce choices were not my favorite.... Their green salsa just wasn't jiving with my taste buds and the red spicy salsa was just ok. All in all I mean I left full and decently happy and the service was great. I just don't think I will drive out of my way to come here again. But again my opinion only. Others apparently love it here and that's great.

    Tacos with Pastor meat - marinated pork with pineapple
    Jennifer W.

    My new favorite Mexican restaurant! I discovered it this week and have been here twice already! Their Pastor meat is a seasoned pork with pineapples and it is tender and flavorful even without any sort of sauce. I had them in their street tacos with cilantro and onions and they're just amazing. They have two awesome house sauces, a spicier red and a milder green sauce, either go well with the street tacos. Their salsa actually has a kick, unlike the tomato sauces at other restaurants. Normally I like thin chips but their thicker chips are perfectly fried and crunchy without being hard. Seems everything is made fresh when you order it. All our food was hot and fresh. Will be back again!

    Carnitas, asada, and rice
    Marlee T.

    Absolutely loved this place!!! We walked in and there was already a huge line that moved quickly and food was still brought out in a reasonable time despite the lunch rush! Chips and guac 100% homemade and soo fresh! The tacos were authentic and delicious as well aa the rice! Would absolutely recommend this spot!

    Visited 7/26/26 My…read morekids & I came here for early lunch, we had Izri as our server. He was absolutely a delight! He greeted us when we first came in, seated us, waited on us - very kind, communicative! We had chips & queso, Izri brought some great fruit out (delicious), & I had brunch chilaquiles (YUM)! Then Izri brought a sopapilla that I brought home to my husband (he loved it, instantly said he wanted more) Chep's had many great different options, some you might see at other restaurants - but you can tell Chepa's options are slightly different (better)... excited to come back and try spinach & chicken enchiladas and tres leches!! Yummm

The food as a Mexican was amazing especially when you know different regions from Mexico and you know each regions have their flavors and staples. It has been a pleasure for my palate to enjoy those flavor again. We always like asking about the background and origins of the restaurants we visit and we always note and comparare details. The flavors just to reiterate.... Awesome! Atmosphere and service totally outstanding, today was our second time and the person even apologized for us not getting the same booth, we were like what??? You remember that and us? Well we are sold and we found the new place for us to invite friend and have family celebrations! Maybe I can not give a Michelin Star but for sure a "Miguelin" star! Thank you all! Jeziel, Isri, Eli, Charlie , Rolando, we do not know all the names yet but we will acknowledge every one properly and please know that little things come a long way and make a difference!!!! Addendum- for some reason my original post did not post when intended but now that I can, still going there and love it still!!! We have had family gatherings, great moments to celebrate and even when lows, we still found this place an amazing place to be. In all honesty, we feel like they are family, almost like the show Cheers... "sometimes you want to go where every body knows your name". It has been for us a great balance of consistency all around, service, the food, the drinks, even if prices went up (given the economy right now), we know it will be great! Even during these times they have never tried to cut corners or even increase prices!! We love you guys and will continue supporting our local businesses!!

    This place is absolutely perfect. Growing up, my aunt and uncle had a Mexican restaurant. The whole…read morefamily including my cousins and their friends worked there. Cookies reminds me of that and it's so special. It is the freshest, most authentic Mexican food you could ask for. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. Everyone working there is always so genuinely kind. It's laid back and comfortable with the best vibe. If you think you've had excellent birria at other places--I promise you, you've had nothing until you've had theirs. They offer their quesabirria tacos in both barbacoa and lamb (because it's actually authentic Mexican) and they are total nirvana. And today, my search for the best menudo in Dallas came to an end. This is it and I'm positive I'll be getting it every Saturday that I can during the cooler months. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to trying everything else on their menu. Today we took our order to go and it was packaged completely perfectly with generous salsas and toppings.

On my second visit, I tried a mix of birria de chivo (goat) and birria de res (beef) tacos. The beef was well seasoned and flavorful, but unfortunately the tortillas were a bit too burnt this time. I also decided to try the rice and beans, which ended up being a miss for me. The beans had a canned aftertaste and were very bland, while the rice was dry and also lacking flavor. I tried three of their salsas: salsa verde, salsa verde tatemada (served warm), and the habanero salsa. The two green salsas were decent, but the habanero stood out with great flavor and a nice kick of heat. The staff was super friendly, and service was quick on both visits. Overall, based on consistency and my experience across both trips, I'd rate this spot 3.5 stars.
