This is the best restaurant we went to in Bacalar by far, with food that tastes amazing and is reasonably priced. Their menu is diverse and delicious! They also have super refreshing aguas naturales. We tried pretty much everything that we eat that's on the menu across 4 or 5 meals here, and it was all super tasty! Some stood out more than others to me. I loved the espinaca, mole poblano, and tinga de pollo. The espinaca was in a nice cream sauce and was super thick and rich, absolutely delicious in both quesadilla and taco form. As was the case with a lot of the menu, most was very flavorful and in my opinion was better in taco or quesadilla form. The burritos were delicious and grilled el dorado style just like my San Francisco, California favorite La Taqueria, but I found that the flavors of the many different options were typically more balanced and clear in either the tacos or quesadillas than the burritos. My personal favorite agua natural was the maracuya (passion fruit), it tasted like pure liquid maracuya and was sooo refreshingly cold in the sweltering heat! If you come to Bacalar, you have to eat here. Beware, cash only, so stop at an atm before making your way over!
Hit or miss. What they do well is actually very good, but it's hard to know what'll be good. The carne asada quesadilla was very good, although I think the bright green tortilla was made with food coloring... that part seemed unnecessary. The potato chorizo taco was also very good. Didn't love the chilemole or the rings tacos...
Best Tacos in Bacalar or even Mexico. From my 5 trips to Mexico, I still think about this place the most. The tacos are just so damn good. When I sat down, I was like I am only going to get 3 because I was going to the bar later and will be probably munching or something or getting full from consuming beer and liquor. However, I ended up getting like 8 or 9 tacos. The owner was surprised I ate so much and came by the table. I am not sure if I should be embarrassed or honored but I loved how friendly he was. Tacos are just amazing. I think I wasn't a big fan of the fried shrimp one but all the other tacos were great. Just order one each and use the hot sauces that are on the table.

Imagine finding a piece or heaven then finding a restaurant that puts a little cherrie on top of it for you. Mr. Taco is literally a whole in the wall type taco join. Their fish and shrimp are fried in this delicious dough. Fresh conditions are brought to the table. Be ware!!! The green cause is super duper hot and I thought it was guacamole CASH ONLY! Ladies make sure you pick up cheap bracelet at the little shop next to the taco shop!!!
Delicious ingredients, big tacos, fun vibes, and friendly staff! If you're in the mood for tacos while in Bacalar, stop by Mr. Taco in the center of town. It's a small shop packed with employees, guests, menu signs, colorful decorations, tables that overflow into the sidewalk, and people that overflow into the street. Despite passing this place and its large crowd countless times, I brushed it off a "tourist trap" - someplace that's probably expensive, overcrowded, mediocre, and centrally located. The one part of my preconception that is true is the central location, which attracted my friend and I one evening as we hungrily placed a to-go order. My first reaction was surprise at two factors - the inclusion of beans/rice in the taco (which I had seldom experienced in Mexico) and the tastiness of the meal. Eager for more, my friend and I gathered a group and returned a few times for table service. I learned that the food/drink is actually delicious and caters to many palettes (meat eaters, seafood lovers, vegans/vegetarians like myself, and the gluten-free crowd). The bilingual staff are very friendly and ready to answer questions, offer recommendations, or make an accommodation. The owner often checks on guests to ensure quality and make a connection. Despite being a very busy place, the experience at Mr. Taco feels fun and relaxed - exactly how I'd want a beach-side taco shop dinner to feel.

this is what you think of when you think of a quick cheap and yummy taco joint. the service was quick and the food was yummy. fun and lively, fast casual atmosphere. the chips and guac were standouts for me. the chips were thick and the guac was fresh and plentiful, with there being more guac than chips to dip in! the margarita was as also the perfect combo of delicious and strong. would recommend if you are walking around town! read more
Date: Sunday, August 20th, 2023 Time: around 2:45pm Party of: 2 Meal: Lunch *Picadillo de res *Prensado *Champinones *Chuleta Ahumada *Chile Relleno *Carne Asada *Combinacion - ceviche tostada? *Agua *Light Coke I love tacos. Whenever in Mexico, I always try to hit up a taco spot, if not several. Since the hubby and I had just finished a boat tour with his parents, we decided to grab our first meal here. (It was on my list of bookmarked places. The in laws didn't join us as they wanted to go back to the Airbnb.) If memory serves, this is on or right off the main square area, so very easy to get to. I don't recall having to wait for a table. From our receipt, we got the items above. (It was hand written, so I'm not sure what everything cost.) I believe most tacos were $22 MX per while some were $25 MX each. And the tostada might have been $99 MX. I believe our whole bill was $295 MX. The shrimp ceviche was my fav. I'm a sucker for any kind of seafood marinated in citrus. This was good, especially with a little hot sauce. The tacos were tasty as well. The prensado / chicharron was deliciously chewy and meaty. I think we also got some fish tacos from my pix, but I didn't see it on my receipt, so I'm not 100% sure. That might have been a mistake now that I'm thinking of our time there. They may have given these to us in accident. If so, I know we told them about it. Service was fine. No fuss, no muss. They took our order and served everything when ready. I'm from the US and don't know any Spanish. Didn't have an issue communicating. Also, there's an English menu on the board as well. A fine place to grab some tacos if in the area. I'm more of an offal taco person, so I was missing those types of meats. But worth a stop by for a quick snack. read more
This place is super awesome authentic with so much variety. The chille relleno taco was bomb. My friend got the gringo. Wow!! I got the pinada virgin pina colada's. The flavors were on point. Staff was helpful. It was packed but no wait at all. I'll be back before we leave, read more

My favorite taco place! The tacos are incredible! The fillings are home cooked with love and pride. My favorites were the chili relleno taco and the creamed spinach taco. The tacos are small and the prices are low. It can get really crowded at times so get in when you can. read more
