New venue in town. Decided to try for breakfast and it did not disappoint. Very welcoming, clean, and amazing customer service. We had the chilaquiles verdes and the birria, eggs, and bean burrito. Also tried the cafe de olla, which was delicious. Give this place a try. You will enjoy it. read more

The restaurant is newly open. It's very easy to find with a large lighted sign out front. There is plenty of angled parking across a traffic lane along both sides of the building. The handicapped spaces are Handicapped spaces are first (next to the road) in the rows on either side of the building. They are not the closest spaces to the entrance so be aware if you have mobility issues. Walking in, we were greeted by several staff members from behind the counter. They quickly explained the location of the menu (readily visible behind the counter) and then place your order at the counter. Ordering initially gave a fast food vibe but this was dispelled once the food arrived. The menu is diverse but simple and provides a lot of options. Once we placed our order we found a seat. Seating is a mix of tables and booths. There is also a nice patio as well. There were no chips and salsa, although they can be ordered. They did bring a tray of four sauces while we were waiting. The mayo-type sauce is deceptively hot. The heat is quick and intense but does not last long. The green sauce is maybe the best I have ever had with massive flavor and some heat. The light red sauce is pretty hot and has nice flavor. The darker red is a chipotle with some heat and good flavor. Our food was brought to our table in about 10 minutes. The quesabirria tacos and carne asada bowl with water to drink came to $35. The tacos were stuffed with birria and topped with onions and cilantro. There was a crust of cheese on the outside of the freshly made corn tortillas that provided a nice crunch. The consomme has lots of flavor and pieces of birria, onions, and cilantro. There was a thick layer of light oil on top as well. Although the consomme had excellent flavor I liked the green sauce on the tacos over the consomme to minimize the oil intake. The carne asada bowl was very flavorful. The cactus leaves were a unique addition that added a new dimension to the flavor. There was enough meat to get some in nearly every bite. All ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Taco Chulo is a great addition to the growing Hispanic food options in the area. The food is exceptional and the staff is knowledgeable and attentive. It's definitely worth a visit. read more

Service & Food are top notch! Very authentic Jalisco style Mexican food. The dishes are very unique to Jalisco and absolutely the freshest you'll have anywhere near Johnson city. The ambiance is great! Place is new, so everything is clean and comfy. Makes me feel like I'm at my mom's having her homemade meals. Costillitas en salsa, tacos, and torta were delicious.

Delicious food and fantastic customer service!! I'm gluten free and typically avoid going out to eat because it can be risky and I know it's annoying for the hostess/server answering a million questions about what's safe for me to eat. When we called to place an order here, we mentioned gluten free and the hostess answering the phone was incredibly helpful and overall just so friendly about everything. He explained which items on the menu would be safe for me and went out of his way to check on a few other items so I had more options. I truly appreciated the customer service here and the food was wonderful!! Portion sizes were perfect, everything tasted great, and they included several salsas for us with our chips. Definitely a new favorite restaurant here in Johnson Cit's :) read more

Food was delicious and the employees were very friendly. I got the chicken and carne asada tacos, which were great. The tortillas were super fresh, like they had just been made. Don't skip the chips and corn dip, I don't even like corn and thought it was delicious. If you're looking for an authentic spot, look no further. read more
