    Went May 5, we usually love this spot. Had a weird experience today Juan was unwelcoming and very short during the ordering process it was us and one other person inside, I order asada fries per usual they had 1.50 pastor tacos I ordered two and didn't receive them they turned the open sign off and started cleaning the lobby I went back inside to ask about the tacos and Juan asked me how much I let him know he was dismissive and relooked up the order to double check and handed the tacos off with a attitude

    Best Mexican food we've come across in Texas so far. And we've tried many. Great food with great prices. Will definitely be one of our new local spots to frequent!!!

    " Wet" Memphis Burrito (California Style) Amazing!
    D N.

    A great place to eat. The Memphis Burrito is great by it make Itself. However, the new Memphis Burrito California Wet Style is one of the best burritos I have ever had! Wet California style means they add The Secret Tomatillo Sour Cream Sauce and shredded cheese over the burrito then broil it until the cheese golden perfection. This Burrito won't disappoint!

    Asada Fries

    Some of the most delicious tacos I have ever eaten! The Al Pastor tacos were out of this world! I also loved their asada fries. That queso they put on top of the fries are the cherry on top! Mr. Tako probably has the best tacos in McKinney!!

    Bean and cheese taco. One with red sauce

    Husband got a beef fajita street taco and a crispy beef taco. He said they were both good and he did try the red and green sauce. Both were hot but the red was very hot! I'm vegetarian so I had some beans on a corn tortilla with cheese and fresh onions. It was good, nothing special, but glad they could accommodate me. The red sauce rocks!!!

    Back again but finding better. The service has been great each visit with a bright ans clean restaurant. The food comes out fast and the price is right. All that upside is sure to have a down and that the food. I'm finding it more constantly dry. On this visit I ordered: *Buche *Barbarcoa *Chapechano All of which tasty but on the dry side. I was loading the tacos with salsa. Bummer. As I'm exploring more taquerias in the McKinney area I'm discovering some real gems. Unfortunately Mr T's is not high on my list. There's potential and you should absolutely try for yourself. It's not my jam.

    Asada Fries, so good.
    Ashly R.

    We came across Mr. Tako when driving to another place, we looked them up and went there that same day because we had to try them. We only tried the Asada Fries this time and man were they good. The lady taking our order was soo nice, she let my husband taste 2 of the drinks to make sure he liked them before buying them. We will be back to try more good.

    Carne asada frys! Were Loaded up and fairly priced! Al Pastor is greasy how I like it and flavorful! The customer service was great and while busy it flowed greatly with the team. No negatives, if you near by, give it a go!

    We were in the area and tried this place because is the reviews but honestly, we were not that impressed. My husband and got the California burrito and he said it was just ok, didn't have much meat but had a lot of the other stuff. I had a chicken chimichanga with a queso topping. The cheese sauce was overwhelming, and the wrong type. It was a yellow cheese sauce thay I wouldn't even want to dip chips in. We got the kids the Texas Nachos with ground beef. The same yellow cheese sauce that was on my chimichanga is what was on the nachos. My kids didn't eat the nachos and ate my rice instead. They usually like nachos so I'm not sure what they didn't like about these nachos. The food was served in to go boxes even though we were eating in. We were not provided napkins or utensils. I had to go up to the register and wait in line to ask for both. The employee that placed our order was nice. Will we go back again, no.

    Plain Jane dining room, concrete floors and fluorescent lighting. Clean-ish

    I visited Mexican Cactus Taco Bar expecting your typical strip mall taco joint with decent tacos…read moreand some TVs to watch a World Cup match, but WOW did I underestimate what I was in for. I knew from the second we walked in, based on the list of made-in-house horchatas and agua frescas, that we were going to be in for a good meal. The menu was refreshingly unique compared to your basic street taco style setup or the usual Tex-Mex mashup of inauthentic tacos topped with shredded cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Our group of 3 adults, plus my 7 year old niece, shared a bowl of guacamole, which was phenomenal and came mixed with sunflower seeds and topped with crumbled cotija, alongside house-made corn tortilla chips. We also split an elote cup, which was great. My wife got a classic horchata, which was deliciously sweet (but not overly so) with a nice slight punch of cinnamon. I went with water but will definitely try an agua fresca next time. I ordered two tacos, both on house-made flour tortillas (I like corn tortillas but prefer flour when made fresh). The Pollo Azteca, with marinated grilled chicken tenderloin, mango pico, and a drizzle of crema, was phenomenal, and had more flavor than most chicken tacos I've had before. The star of my meal, however, was the Al Pastor, with adobo marinated pork tenderloin, diced pineapple, onions, and cilantro, with a slice of lime to squeeze on top. This was hands down one of the best tacos I've ever had in my life. I was floored. I also tried my wife's Carne Asada tacos, which came topped with cilantro and onions, and a slice of lime, on their house made corn tortillas. The steak was incredibly flavorful, and the corn tortillas were tender without being chewy. We shared a side of rice and beans, which was good, but not the star of the show. The rice was your typical Mexican yellow rice, and the beans were more of a soupy whole-beans style, which reminded me of my Colombian mother-in-law's recipe. The staff makes four homemade salsas, ranging from mild to pretty spicy, and I loved all of them with the exception of the mild. My niece got the kids' cheese quesadilla, which was a simple melted Oaxaca cheese between a flour tortilla, served with rice, beans, and a little side of crema. The last thing I will rave about is the service. The staff was incredibly nice from the minute we walked in, pleasant to talk to when delivering our order and asking how everything was tasting, to the moment we bussed our tables and headed for the door. I cannot wait to come back again, and I hope they stay very busy until I'm able to do so, because I want this place to be around for a very long time!

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.

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.
