    Inside restaurant
    Nicole D.

    I've been to the food truck a few times and finally had a chance to visit their new location. It's a nice space inside, even including a bar for cocktails if you want. We came early and the frozen margaritas weren't ready yet, but the regular strawberry margarita was very delicious. I ordered the nachos and my friend got the tacos. I've has the tacos many times and already know how delicious and flavourful they are, I was ready to try something new. I enjoyed the nachos as well. Full of flavor and they give you lots of toppings. The service was great, we were there during lunch, so it wasn't very crowded, but she was still very attentive and checked on us often. I really enjoy this location and it's the perfect spot for family dinner, date night or out with friends.

    The food here is very delicious. Restaurant was clean and the staff are very professional. They have a bar inside to offer you some cold beer. The prices were Fair. You have a good selection on the menu and I recommend this place

    Everything tastes excellent and is delivered quickly. We've tried several items and visited a few times.

    Really frustrating dealing with this place. I've been a customer several times, and the last time I placed an order for pick up, I got home and had the entirely wrong order. I didn't have time to go back, so I called them to let them know that they've given me the wrong order. The lady that answered the phone knew right away that they had given me the wrong order and told me the next time when I came in to call and let them know and they would take care of it. So it's been about two weeks and I called today, and they would not honor their commitment. They kept arguing with me about who I talked to and how long ago it was. I don't remember who I talked to, and it's been two weeks and I told him that. They said if it had been two days ago that would be OK but not two weeks. I said who orders tacos from you every two days? So I told him rather than honor their commitment, they can lose a customer. That's what they've chosen to do And I will no longer be a Customer. Lots of choices out there don't make promises that you can't keep.

    INCREDIBLE! This is 100% our favorite place to get tacos in OKC. I discovered them through their food truck, but now that they have their own brick & mortar restaurant I am so happy to become a regular. I am certain all their tacos are delicious but I usually get the pollo & veggies, and I complete it with a Mexican Cocoa Cola! The quality of their ingredients stand out and they care they put into the food they prepare. Service is great and the ambiance of their new place is bright and fresh. Can't wait to come back!

    This is great that Taco Empire!s successful taco truck has opened a dine in or take out restaurant 7008 BW 122nd St. OKC. The restaurant is festive and very welcoming to guests. I ordered the Pastor taco marinated work with pineapple chunks. Onions, cilantro piled on a blue corn tortilla. The park tamale was also very good friendly customer service.The

    Steak tacos

    Craving tacos so searched for a place near the area I was running errands, Taco Empire popped up so thought I would give it a try. I ordered steak tacos, had no idea they would be served on blue corn tortillas, but I'm not complaining. They were pretty good! I also ordered chips and guacamole. Another good choice! I look forward to trying more things on their menu next time I am in the area.

    Chips & Queso

    Being patient paid off!!! Finally I had the opportunity to eat here and it did not disappoint!! The food was excellent and flavorful!! There are several things on the menu I can't wait to try! Luckily we live close by so the options are there for the taking! To be honest this is a 5 Star rating but I don't want to base my rating on just one meal. Pilar was the pleasant lady taking our order and we told her this was our first time and she recommended the Quesabroso with our choice of meat. I chose the chicken my wife chose the beef. Excellent recommendation! The Chips & Queso were exactly how we liked them. Sometimes chips are to thin and break other times to thick. These hit the right balance! Just writing this makes me want to get this all over again! I would recommend to give this place a try. Although the price wasn't what I expected it was worth the price!

    8/26/24 Barbacoa and Adobada taco. Not too bad.

    These aren't authentic tacos but they were pretty good. I especially liked their peach mango salsa. Good food, good service.

    Wow, Taco Empire is a revelation! Fantastic food with a fun atmosphere. I had a grilled shrimp quesadilla and my husband had a grilled steak burrito. We couldn't begin to be able to finish our food and it was so delicious we really wanted too! The guacamole and queso are awesome and served with homemade chips! Service was great too

    Dip trio
    Angela B.

    Stopped in for date night. We ordered the dip trio and the queso and guacamole and chips are to die for! The chips are probably the best I've ever had, anywhere. The salsa is good but I like lots of flavor. This is a bit muted. They have a salsa that you can get at the counter that's mango something and it's delicious! He got the burrito and it was HUGE! He said it was awesome. I had the fried shrimp street taco and the green tamale. The tamale was good but they said the one that's the best they were out of so I'll go back and try the other two. I got the elote which was different. It was good but I expected a lot more flavor. Not bad. Then I got the small potato's and those were tasty. We will be back. I loved this place and I can't wait to try all the other stuff!

    This past Cinco De Mayo my boyfriend and I went to an event at Scissortail Park. I remember it being a hot and humid day and there were several food trucks to choose from. We chose Taco Empire and were extremely happy with our choice! I forgot all about how hot it was, as I was satisfying my hunger with delicious food! I started following them on social media and fast forward to a few weeks ago. We saw they were having a grand opening on November 19, 23 at their new brick and mortar location and you would get a free chips and queso with you order. We walk into a nice clean establishment. It wasn't overly busy at all. Walked right up to the register and placed our order. The gentleman at the counter wasn't exactly welcoming or inviting. He never mentioned the free chips and queso with our order, I had to ask. Food took a while. We got the chips and queso after our food. Queso wasn't flavorful and I was glad I didn't spend money on it. My boyfriend got his quesabirria tacos, beans and rice first. My food came several minutes later. I got the fish taco, steak taco, and elote. The quesbirria tacos were great! Lots of meat and cooked to perfection. Very flavorful! My tacos were good, but they were cold. It was as if they were just sitting there and maybe they forgot to bring my food when it was ready. Rice was solid and the beans were okay. The elote (corn) was not what I was expecting at all! It was cut in a funky way and covered in oil! It was greasy and lacked flavor! I wouldn't recommend it. I will say that I left highly disappointed! It's not that the food was horrible, but the quality wasn't the same as what we had out of the food truck and it was just all underwhelming. I also felt like service wasn't the greatest. This is the grand opening ... no one asked us how the food was, and your serving cold food? This is a time to shine and present your best to make people want to come back. Haven't decided if I'll give them another try.

Ambiance: Very loud live music and chaotic in general. More chaotic than a standard Mexican restaurant. One visit, tacos were being cooked outside on a Santa Maria style grill. Food: Birria Tacos are the best thing on the menu. Cheesy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Topped with cilantro and wonderful consommé. The white sauce is a great addition as well as the green sauce. The Pin Wheels are not the best for the salsa. The salsa is mediocre and also spicy. The Surf and Turf Quesadillas are cheesy and packed with meat. The same meal as a burrito is good, but not preferred over the quesadillas. The Ceviche is out of this world. A heaping portion of perfectly citrus and not too fishy. The only meal that was not good was the Marlin Quesadilla. It was too fishy and tasted like fishy BBQ.

    I'm disappointed in myself I didn't try this and review it sooner!…read more La Herencia is an upscale beautiful restaurant tucked away amongst the businesses. Every time I've driven by it's been absolutely packed in the parking lot. The staff is incredibly friendly and brings a whole fun vibe to your table. The salsa is incredible the queso is to die for.

    La Herencia was a decent experience. We were looking for a sit down restaurant this time instead of…read moreour typical Mexican food truck run. It was very busy when we walked in but there was no wait. We were thankfully seated immediately and started off with chips and salsa. The chips were nice and crispy, but the salsa was mediocre. The tomatoes tasted canned. While I can totally get the efficiency behind using canned tomatoes for a busy restaurant, the taste is not preferred. The kids chicken quesadilla plate was a good amount of food! I just wish the quesadilla was already sliced as it was for our 3 year old. The chicken was also bland. Again, the portions were great. My son ordered the Burrito La Herencia with ground beef and this was seasoned well. Again, great portions of beans, rice & main dish. No complaints with this one! My spouse ordered the La Herencia fajita special and felt as if it was lacking. The steak pieces were minuscule and the shrimp was bland and undercooked. The pork chop was thinly sliced which was nice but VERY salty. We were wishing for more peppers and onions as well. Overall this dish was salty, but tolerable! It came with a side plate of rice, beans, pico de gallo, guac, sour cream & lettuce. Served with flour tortillas. We ordered the queso & guac while we were looking at the menu and waiting. I personally did not enjoy the queso. It was thick and had an artificial mouth feel. The guac was decent! Bland overall but I love the taste of avocado. I wish it had more lime and seasoning though since it was supposed to be Guacamole and not avocado dip. I ordered the Steak Mexicano with extra jalapeños and this was very good. Still on the salty side but I enjoy things on a SLIGHTLY saltier range. My spouse thought the steak was TOO salty. The peppers, onions, and tomatoes were nicely sautéed and seasoned. The rice here is also DELICIOUS. I hate a bland Mexican rice. The beans were good too but nothing to write home about. I do wish I was offered a side of corn tortillas. Overall this experience was okay! Not the worst but definitely not the best. The restaurant was beautifully decorated but there was a noticeable lack of music. We were sat listening to the chatter of all the different customers and kitchen noises. We did have the option of booth or table AND they have boosters seats/ high chairs upon request.
