New restaurant! The tacos and sopes were good. Not the best tacos or sopes I've ever tried, but definitely solid. Service and ambiance were good too! Definitely a filling place to stop at if you're nearby! read more

El Rumbero Taqueria - Al Pastor Taco and Bistek Sopes - Mexican Near Me - The Colony, Texas

Great Tacos, Great Service! Popped into El Rumbero while in the area after seeing some great looking taco pics on Yelp. The restaurant looks brand new, very clean, very bright. The lady who served us was super friendly and very informative with what each type of meat was on the menu. We ordered 12 street tacos so we could try a few different meats. Pastor, steak (bistec), smoked pork chop (chuleta), and steak/chorizo (campenchano). Honestly all of them were great but their pastor was amazing. Super tender and not a ton of fat. If I had to drop one of the 4 I'd drop the steak, but all of them were solid. Thanks for lunch. Check em out! read more

This is a gem in the neighborhood. The food is authentic. There are street tacos and then there are street tacos. The taste of the food here blew me away and if you are looking for spicy sauces this is the place. This is now my new go to for tacos and the other items they have on menu. They also serve breakfast and open on Sunday mornings. read more

El Rumbero Taqueria - Street Tacos - Mexican Near Me - The Colony, Texas

I ordered a Gringa torta with spicy pork ($12), three tacos al pastor ($3.50 each), and a Diet Coke ($5). Total came out to about $30 with tax and a 15% tip. The torta was delicious, but the tacos were the standout. Corn tortilla, al pastor, onions, lime, and salsa -- perfect combo, full of flavor, hit the spot. The place is clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. Customer service was solid. They gave me time to decide and offered helpful suggestions. First time here, and it was an awesome experience. I'll definitely bring family and friends next time. Check out their menu for other options read more

I went to El Rumbero Taqueria for lunch one day I wanted street tacos and wanted to try a new spot. I got 4 tacos for $12 and they were tasty. They weren't the best tacos I've ever tasted but somewhere I will definitely return for an affordable lunch option. The chicken taco was ok and the spicy pork taco was my favorite. read more

El Rumbero is a true taco gem! It is located in a spot where previous restaurants haven't had much luck. I'm really rooting for this one to thrive! They serve the best al pastor tacos I've had in all of DFW--Mexico City style. The tacos come with pineapple tidbits added to the meat afterward, but they're still fantastic street tacos. My date ordered the tacos de chuleta (pork chop), which were equally delicious. I also tried a sope de bistek, and it was packed with flavor. The imported Mexican Squirt added a special touch, too. The servers may not speak English, but they are friendly, attentive, and happy to help. Both the red and green salsas were really too. We enjoyed it so much that we went back the next day, only to find out they're closed on Sundays. This place is definitely our new taco spot--hands down the best in town! read more

The tacos Al pastor were the best I've had. The three salsas layered were so hot & tasty. The waitress was really nice too. We are getting married next June & immediately knew this is our late night snack for everyone (who can handle spice). I'm surprised this ain't poppin, this place is the best. I love Emelias down the street but...idk...the salsas put this place over the top! read more

Had as a to go order for the first time today. We had the quesadilla and a torta. The torta had a slice of American cheese on it, which threw me off. The quesadilla wasn't anything special. I'll have to try again and dine in. Green salsa was very good and spicy. read more

Love their Gorditas!!!! We were introduced to them by friends at their hole in the wall restaurant near Addison and thrilled with the new larger location in The Colony. I should try the rest of the menu but I always want the Gorditas when we come here! read more

I've been wanting to try El Rumbero based on the glowing reviews but, after visiting, I don't get the hype. Came in on a Tuesday evening to try it and were the only customers. Our waitress was pleasant and made menu recommendations, which was nice (and atypical) for this type of establishment. She made us feel welcomed and gave a warm presence here, which I think would have been lacking if not for her hospitality. Immediately, I noticed it smelled very clean. The tables were clean and the kitchen looked tidy. There is not a lot of ambience here other than a potted plant and some lucha libre style figurines as it is brightly lit, has a counter to place orders, and overall it feels like a gas station taqueria. We had 5 basic street tacos, 1 huarache (for which I was charged $3.50 more than the menu price), and 1 bottle of soda which was an astronomical $4.50. With tip, our bill was nearly $40. And the food was just so-so, despite being based on her recommendation and apparently being a "custom"-order since I was charged extra. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't that good. The tacos were the best thing and the huarache was kind of bland although a at least a decent size. We were presented with three hot sauces, which are all similar in flavor profile and all moderately spicy. The menu seems very limited and everything is a la carte. There are no sides, "plates", or even chips. Was it "authentic"? Eh, sure. But there are much tastier authentic places in this town and they're serving up more complete menus at better prices and without surprises. read more

If you're looking for real-deal tacos, this place is it! Everything tastes super fresh, from the juicy meats to the tortas.

First time in was Tuesday, 6:30ish PM. Staff were very friendly and cordial. Clean and orderly dining area. I ordered a pastor burrito to go. It came out hot and quick. Made it home and it was great. That salsa verde and the habanero salsa.. Chef's kiss! Would recommend. Still gotta make it in for breakfast. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture. read more

Food was great. Portions were large and the price was very reasonable. Street tacos were on point.

I was happy I stopped by, this place is really tasty. The atmosphere is great they have music playing and the waiters were all friendly and welcoming. My favorite was the fajita quesadilla it was very crunchy and it was tasty! Both green and red salsa had a spicy kick which brought all the flavors together. I will definitely be going back. The prices are all reasonable. read more

Had two tacos one pork and one chicken both were very good. Service was fast and inside was very nice.

Great restaurant, great food and great service. It's hard to find a place with a good torta, but I found one here. And, a great selection of different tortas. My wife had a quesadilla and it was fantastic, too. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, and the place was very clean. We will definitely be coming back. read more

We saw the othe reviews and thought it was worth a try due to a decent amount of positive reviews. Sadly, it deeply disappointed. We ordered to go, took nearly 30 minutes even with it not being busy. Cactus taco - swimming in oil, Steak and Pastor - barely any meat, Combi torta - The cheese was articial and of such poor quality, the favor overwhelmed the entire torta. It was probabaly the worst item fo all. Also forgot the tomatos, and again, used way to much oil on the bread. The green salsa was good, the red was average at best. The Colony and Little Elm have good tacos posts, personaly I prefer most over this. The establishment clean though. read more

this place needs more recognition. the service amazing, everyone is very nice and understanding. menu is very large with many tasty options. ive tried many types of their meats and all of them are juicy and full of flavors. then food is also very fresh and definitely authentic. i recomend their burritos beacuse you get a massive 12 inch tortia loaded with toppings for 8.99. overall one of my favorite mexican spots in the colony. i hope their buisness does well so i can eat there more. 10/10 read more
