Want to have some excellent street tacos without stepping foot in Tijuana? Well, you're in luck!…read more Tacos El Pariente es my bueno y delicioso. And that's the extent of my Spanish. Seriously, I tried this place because I stopped to take a work call in the parking lot. When the call wrapped up, I looked up and saw this place. So...I went in and ordered. The tacos came out quickly along with 3 sauces. The light color one was really spicy, but the spice was not long lasting. The others were very mild. Now the tacos. Ay ay ay, they were outstanding. Nestled in the scrumptious corn tortillas was the perfect balance of meet and toppings. Marry these with the tacos and life becomes good. To the Birria - I have a food crush on you. Sorry I ate you so fast, but you were awesome. The staff is very friendly and came out to visit to check on h to r food quality. Ambiance-wise, there is plenty of seating and the place is clean. They had a Spanish concert playing on the TV. So if you want to "elbows up, side to side" - just go with the music! If you like tacos - aka - if you're a human in Texas - go check this place out. Stay hungry, my friends....

The restaurant had beautiful wall art, was very clean and had plenty of seating and high chairs available for the kiddos. We ordered two small (not so small) menudos, two barbacoa tacos. They served the fixings for the menudo on the side along with 3 handmade tortillas. The barbacoa tacos were extremely loaded, I couldn't pick up my taco without losing meat. The meat was very tasty, and my those handmade tortillas made the difference. Everything came out extremely hot and fresh. My husband ordered a Jamaica water, it was amazing! He said he'd come back just for that! Nonetheless, we eally enjoyed those tacos, we look forward to coming back!

The Taco Real Deal…read more Yup, this is place is consistently awesome. Stopped by today for breakfast with my son. I meant to take pictures, but the tacos were so good that I got a little excited and forgot to take a snap. The tacos are made to order in an assembly line fashion. The tortillas are home made and my 10 year old son is demanding more even after devouring two bacon, egg and cheese tacos. I would describe the place as chique taqueria. It's both modern with a hint of traditional culinary roots -- and it just works. I need to add this place back into my regular rotation!

Why 5 stars? Because I am so excited to have this in my neighborhood…read more --- --- --- I walk my dog through my neighborhood every day and I've lost track at how many times I've seen this truck drive past me. It seems to always be heading toward the back of the neighborhood where a bunch of the new construction is happening. I never knew where exactly it was set up, but I assumed it was back by where there's a big crowd of construction workers who don't have to go far for lunch. So I just headed back in that direction and drove around looking. I felt like I pretty much covered every single street and I eventually gave up. But once I got home, I looked it up and found a website that said the truck stays at Stampede Sports Park. I wasn't sure if it was accurate, but I figured I might as well give it a shot. Sure enough, there it was! It turns out they were here from 1130a-3p Mon-Sat. I have no idea where they are headed when I see them going to the back of the neighborhood every morning, but I'm happy to have found their regular spot. As for the food, it was worth the crazy hunt. I heavily debated on what to order, but ultimately went for the torta at the recommendation of Dave F. Dave did not lead me astray. I loved every bite of it. I also added rice and beans, which were also as great as I could have hoped for. And a fresh mango juice was the best thing ever to wash it all down with. Technically, this is the closest physical restaurant to my house now and I am definitely going to go back and work my way through the entire menu!

The torta was hot, very flavorful, and delicious. They had the perfect ratio of meat versus toppings. It took a a few minutes for them to make the food, but that's the price you pay for fresh. If you live in the area, there is no reason to drive into town for good food when you can get it here. If you are not sure what to order, ask Junior. He was very helpful with providing suggestions. There are still quite a few things that I want to try on the menu. I will definitely be back.

Whether it's the tacos, quesadillas, or specialty items, the quality is always top-notch. The environment is relaxed and welcoming, and the service makes you feel right at home.

On top of all that, the prices are extremely reasonable -- easily some of the best value you'll find around here. Great food, great vibes, and great people. What more can you ask for?

Solid option for tacos. In my case, I went for breakfast…read more For my review, I want to be transparent. I ordered both barbacoa tacos and back and egg tacos. As soon as I dug into the barbacoa, I knew I wasn't going to be able to make it to the bacon and egg. The barbacoa was "that" good. Still, I snapped a pic. As for the barbacoa - it was delicious, seasoned to perfection, and hot. Mine had onions and cilantro with a squirt of lime. The result? A dude full from deliciousness. Tony - the owner - he works hard. He speaks both English and Spanish -- and you can he knows what he's doing, This place has been in a few locations before. Right now, he's in the Stop N Bye gas station. That being said, there are only a few tables, but...most people take their orders to go. Next time, barbacoa again. Don't think that I will be able to try something new when I landed on the jackpot the first time.
