Love, love this place, the birria tacos were my go to favorite, until I tried the burrito today. Best burrito I have ever had.

The barria tacos here are amazing. Literally some of the best I've ever had. They don't skimp on any of the ingredients and they're so flavorful. read more

I'm so surprised by all the negative reviews!! I eat here probably once a month and have never had a bad experience. The people are always incredibly kind, and the atmosphere isn't something to criticize (though admittedly maybe a little bland). I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes for my food either! read more

I've been looking for Birria Taco, Pizza, Noodles! And it's all here ! Food is fast and flavorful I stuffed myself ordering all I could gotta go back for round 2. Service is very nice and patient answering all our questions. The ambiance is homely and alive super cute place. Me and my fiancé will be back to try everything we didn't get a chance to !! read more

Personally I like my queso not water consistency. Tacos aren't bad though maybe a little more meat needed read more

Had the pleasure of visiting this quaint small corner restaurant while on the Northshore. The owners were soo personable. They asked me about my family, what brought me to their restaurant, checked on us often at the table, and wished us safety traveling back home to the Southshore. The kids and I enjoyed our food. I really wanted to try Burris tacos and ramen and that spicy corn. OMG so good. Authentic Mexican food NOT that Taco Bell stuff LOL can't wait to come back read more

The best and most authentic tacos and birra on the Northshore. Delicious food made in a family restaurant. The homemade sauces are the bomb, the people there are just lovely, and the specials are always a treat. They also have an amazing selection of deserts. read more

I have been wanting to try Birria Tacos for a while and was worried they would not be up to the TikTok hype. BOY WAS I WRONG I ordered some Birria Tacos from Dons and I am beyond impressed! They were so juicy, cheesy, crunchy and soft. Just the best tacos I've ever had and the only ones I ever want to eat again. read more

I'd give Don Taco Village zero stars if I could. I've been out to eat enough times to know that no experience will be perfect, but the number of disappointing aspects of this restaurant is mind-boggling. We went to Don Taco Village for lunch and wanted to beat the rush, so we arrived a little before noon. The restaurant was empty and filled with smoke. At first it smelled amazing, but after sitting in that environment for a while, my eyes began to burn. Since it was our first time, we sat with the menus to decide what we wanted before we ordered at the counter. After walking up to the counter, we probably waited at least five minutes for the woman to come out of the kitchen and help us. We ordered two birria tacos, one Don Taco style-grilled steak taco, a medium chori-queso, one street corn, and two drinks. We wanted horchata and melon but were told they didn't have either. We settled on two lime-cucumber drinks, which were WAY too sweet. According to the prices on their printed menus, our total before tax should've been $26.50. Instead, our total was $42.00. The woman kept having to answer the phone and take orders while she was ringing us up, so we didn't have a chance to clarify the price difference. The tacos were tasty, but very small. There was no chorizo in the chori-queso and it was watery and tasteless. The chips were overly fried. When our food was brought to us the woman said the street corn was on the way. By this point, there was a line nearly out the door and it was just this one woman taking orders, answering the phone, and bussing tables. Eventually the street corn came after we had finished the rest of our food. It was mediocre at best. Why is this place so popular? The food is incredibly over priced (assuming they raised their prices and didn't update their menus?) and the service isn't great. STAY AWAY!!! read more

Simple, fresh, and no-frills menu that satisfies taco purists. These are legit "homemade" tacos. The type you'd eat at someone's house in Mexico. Not Tex-Mex. highly recommend the Barbacoa, the grilled fish, and steak tacos! The guac is fresh and made to order. read more

Food was amazing. Great customer service. The birria pizzadilla is a must. It can feed quite a few ppl.

I totally understand that true, authentic Mexican food isn't going to be the same as your familiar round-the-block TexMex place, but this experience fell far from the hype. I should mention that being a NOLA & Red Stick transplant means the bar for an authentic taqueria is very high, but I just can't find anything positive to say about Don Taco. I was bummed to see that they did not have any homemade sauces on the tables in the dining room, which (to me) has always been a standard in any hole-in-the-wall taqueria. The chorizo / queso appetizer gave me flashbacks to the nachos served at sports arena concession stands - complete with the palate-burning flavor of gov'ment cheese, only with a much more watery consistency. Good luck getting their queso to stay on any chip. The chips were overdone and greasy, meaning that the overwhelming aroma of burned theater popcorn was all I could taste in comparison to their pasteurized-cheese-byproduct-water-sauce. I paid $10.99 for 3 anemic tacos that left me begging for any semblance of flavor or moisture. One taco consisted of 2 tiny chopped shrimp, another taco was a few flakes of what I can only assume is great value tilapia, with the last taco claiming to be their signature "signature" steak... and sure, if you enjoy chewing flavorless leather, have at it! My partner ordered the stuffed poblano (not sure if there's a specific reason they didn't call it a chili relleno?) and while we were first impressed with the size of the poblano pepper, we quickly realized it only appeared to be that size because the core and seeds were still intact. The only reason I left without my stomach growling was because I polished off the beans and rice - doused with a good bit of picante sauce - from both of our plates. I am genuinely hoping that this experience was the result of an off day, as I am normally a huge advocate for any family-owned eateries. $30 and 3 hours later, my stomach and my palate are still begging me for sustenance. If it were ever suggested I try this place again, I would begrudgingly oblige, but not without a fight. read more

One of my top favorite restaurants in Louisiana when it comes to tacos . Service is quick and friendly, and plenty of space for seating.

The service was amazing and the waitress was really nice and attentive. She checked in with us several times while we were eating to make sure we did not need for anything. The food was delicious and the birria taco were so die for, especially with the sauce that came with it. I also like the decoration and Mexican ambiance that was around the restaurant and I really enjoyed the experience that I had. Definitely will go again! read more

Service was great! When they say authentic, they mean it! I had a chicken taco and corn in a cup, something I have never had before. I loved the taco, was shocked when it was served with fresh onion but it was indeed delicious. The street corn I personally did not like, the Mayo sauce Just was not something I enjoyed. Will I go back? Yes!!! Very quaint and busy. I enjoyed my food outside at a cafe table, which was very nice. read more

If you're looking for street tacos, this is the place! I've heard good things so we stopped in for lunch on a Monday. Service was fast and friendly. We had a few different tacos and enjoyed them all, especially the chorizo and veggie. Two spicy sauces are provided. They definitely had some heat. Tacos are $3 a piece but are very fresh and packed with toppings. I would definitely return for more. The restaurant itself is cozy, clean, and cheery. Orders are placed at a counter and brought out to your table. read more

Street Tacos!!! This is a hidden gem in Covington! It's very small but brightly decorated and the staff is friendly. Wide array of lunch items, mostly tacos and the drinks are sold separately there are no fountain drinks. The meals do not come with chips and salsa $4.99 but we ordered them anyway, they were good but not your typical salsa, it was bright orange and warm but still tasty. Average meals are $8.50 and came with rice and beans but my order came with a beef broth with onions, and my tacos came with radish and pickled red onions on the side, it was very tasty. If you like street tacos and want something quick come here! read more

Great authentic Mexican cuisine, i got way too much to eat, thought i was gonna bring something home, ended up eating everything because it was really great, plus a Mexican snowball and a piece of cake i took home, i pigged out and really enjoyed, friendly staff, small business in a house, not a fancy restaurant just homestyle comfortable and would recommend supporting small eating places like this , beats the big expensive franchise places hands down! read more

Super cute restaurant, offering takeout orders from their kitchen window during quarantine! Friendly staff, and good prices! As everyone has already said super authentic, and beyond wonderfully fresh food. Burrito comes with white rice and beans(soo good), lettuce, cilantro, and can opt for grilled or raw onions. Pastor had lots of flavor,and combined with red hot sauce that came with the burrito was absolutely killer. Can't wait to see what else this little taco shop has in store:) read more

I came here after I saw them advertising on Facebook that they started making the newly popular birria tacos. I wrote to them on social media to find out how many came in an order and how much and never got a response. 3 comes in an order for 11.00 with the side of consommé. This wouldn't be a bad price if they had more meat and cheese in them or they were a little larger. The pictures they posted online showed much larger tacos with 5 in an order. I was pretty disappointed to only get 3 tiny ones. I can't say I'll return unfortunately... read more

I have passed by this place several times. Finally gave it a try one night after work a few months ago and it was amazing! I've been a few times since then and I have not once been disappointed. Always delicious. Great customer service and even better food. Very clean environment and fast service. I highly recommend their Chorizo-queso, birria tacos, birria pizza-dilla, churros, and their traditional street tacos. Some of the best food I've had since moving to Covington. Definitely check this place out!! read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch and absolutely loved the place. We had the steak Migadas and the pastor Migadas. Both were really good! So much to try on the menu. We can't wait to go back read more

Arrived about 430pm for early dinner. Despite it being about 80degrees inside from an A/C issue, we stayed. Ordered a Birria combo and a 3 taco plate, chips and guacamole and jamaica. Chips and guacamole were fine, had a good feeling about the food since delicious looking photos of the food are all around the register. Unfortunately whoever cooked our food today intermingled it with burned/scorched grill char. All the meat on the tacos - and the outside and inside of the birria tortillas - tasted scorched and burned. You know, like the scorched flavor from letting a pot sit on the stove with beans in it and then stirring the scorched black bits of nasty through all the food. The meat in the tacos and the whole birria were disgusting and inedible. So we stopped eating. I tried each taco to confirm it was the same. The real gag is that the waitress did in fact ask us if everything was okay. Two 200 pound men not even half eating two taco plates should be a cause for concern. So we told her no, explained why, and she shrugged and said "we cook all of our food exactly the same way". No offer to taste it or remake it. And no, we didn't eat anymore. You didn't get almost 5 stars on google with burnt, scorched bits of grill crap in all the food you serve. This isn't the street food in their photos, it isn't the food that a food truck would serve, and they absolutely don't care. I'm sure someone who works there knows how to cook and clean a grill, but they weren't there today. Avoid. read more

The shrimp tacos are like little bites of heaven. The shrimp are perfectly flavored and grilled, and the mango, onion, and cilantro set them off beautifully. The red sauce is a bit like fire to me, but the green sauce is full of flavor without the pain. The other tacos, chicken, barbacoa, beef, etc. are all good, but you have to try the shrimp! read more

This cute little restaurant is our new favorite spot! They have a large menu selection and are very accommodating if you're asking questions about it.

I have been here a few times and I keep hoping it will get better, but it seems to get worse. I decided to give it one more try because they have birria now. The chips are terrible, thick and stale-tasting. The beef tacos were dripping with grease. The birria was oily and bland with big chunks of fat in the meat - no crunch. The broth was bland, too. Very disappointing experience given the high price tag for everything. I won't be going back. read more

I just had a pretty good lunch here. Simple down home Mexican eats. I had the taco dinner which consisted of three tacos, pastor, barbacoa, and chicken, all excellent. The beans and rice it came with nothing to write home about but not bad. Also added a chorizo taco since it was the days special, greasy but delicious. A small place, grand total of six tables, casual, order at the counter. Friendly and attentive service, I'll be back. 7/25/19, second stop great tacos again but I thought I might add, that, the place is little more than a taco truck with AC. But are the tacos good? Yes, yes they are. read more

Not good at all. Was very excited to try birria on the Northshore, and will not come back. Smoky and hot indoors. We got birria tacos, and street tacos. The birria was burnt, hard, and greasy. Actually inedible. The lady asked "how is everything" and when I kindly told her what my concerns were, she gave me a sarcastic response saying "yeah they're tacos made on the grill, so thats why they're like that".....This isn't my first time having birria, and I know how they are prepared, but the lack of accountability or acknowledgement that we were not happy with the food rubbed me the wrong way. She didn't bother asking if we wanted something else, a refund, or even apologized for the food being burnt. Save yourself the disappointment, and try somewhere else. read more

I get that this restaurant is a no-frills, hole in the wall place. However, the nachos that I had were awful. The meat was over cooked, dry and too salty. The tortilla chips were very greasy and weren't drained well when pulled out of the fryer. The other toppings only consisted of a few onions, cilantro and an attempt at pickled onions. No tomatoes, no jalapeños, just barely enough to qualify as nachos. Here's the kicker that did it in for me, the cheese wasn't even real melted cheese. It was the kind of garbage that you get at a Little League ball park, yes the dreaded cheese sauce that looks like yellow caulk. It was a half step above movie theater nachos. First and last time there. read more
