We were greeted by friendly staff letting us know we could sit anywhere. The inside parts were decorated with bright colors. We were informed by our staff of today's special. She quickly brought out our drink order along with chips and salsa, which was very tasty with a little kick. The kid's plate was plentiful and good for our granddaughter. Our daughter ordered the enchiladas suiza which she stated were very good. My husband chose the special which he really enjoyed. I chose a bowl of menudo, which was good but not the best I have had in RGV. We will be back to try something else on the menu! read more

We came here on 05.26.24 for breakfast with the family. They love it here, being long-time locals and supporters. I had the barbacoa breakfast plate, which comes with barbacoa, two eggs your way, beans, and tortillas. The barbacoa was so tender and delicious, while the beans and eggs were cooked perfectly, full of flavor. Our corn tortillas were also on point. We felt like we had gone back in time due to the prices and portion sizes. I believe my meal was $6.99, and it was one of the more expensive breakfast selections. All six of us ate well for around $50. The service was also excellent and the setting was just right. Kinda old school in there - and it was easy to see why it was full of locals. read more

Went there on March 30th, and after I ate, I got violently sick. I got food poisoning and may need to go to the doctor. It is now Monday and will have to miss work and go to the doctor. Avoid the Carne guisada plate read more

Pleased to have stopped here by accident. Spacious and although busy, food came out pretty quickly and the waitress was friendly. Had the Caldo de pollo (chicken soup) and it was perfectly yummy! I recommend it for anyone looking for some comfort food caldo like "ama" (mom) used to make. Also ordered a fajita taco on the side. It was also perfectly delicious with its grilled onions and green peppers. I wish they had more restaurants like Taco Fiestas in this in the world. read more

Botana platter like no place else! Don't be fooled, the Botana for 2 easily feeds 3-4! When we are in McAllen, Tx for a visit, that's the place for excellent Tex-Mex and at good prices! read more

Hands down the best place I ate while in Texas!! We didn't go to the restaurant we called it in! So thanks to the beautiful yelpers I was able to look at the menu! My friend kept talking about the breakfast tacos and now I see why! Machacado and eggs for the win! The salsa is also very flavorful and tasty!! read more

Service was outstanding and the food was the best I've had in the Valley to date. Fajita Taco Plate came with 3 LOADED tacos that had onions and bell peppers. Also came with a side of refried beans and rice! Chips and fresh salsa were also good. I plan on visiting again and trying the Mexican Plate. But this was perfect!! read more

Taco Fiesta Restaurant - Beef Fajita Taco Plate. - Tex-Mex Near Me - McAllen, Texas

A co worker wanted to meet here for lunch and I had heard good things about this spot so I was looking forward to this place. The reason I give this place 4 stars is because the amount of business they get has surpassed the capacity of their building/tables/parking. It was completely full and the staff wasn't sufficient for the amount of people they had. In regards to the food they had some great lunch specials which were at a very economical price. I had the Mexican plate which included a free sweet tea as part of lunch special. The food had a home made taste to it and sure made up for the rest of the issues. read more

Popular with the older crowd, Taco Fiesta has been a staple of valley Mexican comfort food for a long time. The service is normal for this type of place. The restaurant and kitchen are clean. Why are there always people here? Simple, because you can get a good meal at a good price. Taco Fiesta is especially popular at breakfast. I recently had breakfast of scrambled eggs with bacon and refried beans with homemade flour tortillas all for $4.29. I think I will frequent this spot more often as it delivers exactly what it promises, a good valley meal at a good price. read more

I finally tried this place, as I notice the parking lot, and the over-flow parking lot is always full. I had a good experience. Great service,the waitress was quite attentive... food tasted fresh and hot. Reasonable pricing. Large menu. The restaurant was clean, and decorated nice. TV's on the walls. You seat yourself. I had the Tampiquena plate, fajita, refried beans, rice, guacalmole, cheese enchilada with excellent sauce, and a few fries. $ 8.99. For me, it was plenty of food. I will be back. :) read more

Terrible service, waitress looked upset or something. Had breakfast, and food was mediocre. Will not go back ever again.

Had the fajita ponchos. Very disappointed. Hardly any cheese and almost all beans so were soggy. Also advertised as having avocado but restaurant has had avocado for months but still advertise and charge for it. Don't tell customers in advance. However, the service was wonderful. read more

My family likes Taco Fiesta very much. We usually order Mexican food but their cheeseburger & fries plate is delicious too. My favorites for breakfast are the chilequiles and huevos rancheros over easy but their breakfast special always draws many customers. For lunch and supper, we've enjoyed the Mexican plate, deluxe Mexican plate (with an extra taco and extra enchilada, in addition to the goodies on the regular Mexican plate), chalupas (no meat), chiles relleños and panchos with guacamole, no meat. The only dish I've had which I did not enjoy was the chicken envueltos. For some reason, they are topped with a brown, meaty gravy instead of the fresh, light tomato sauce that I expected. They have a special for every meal, every day so it's hard to overspend. The sweet tea with lime is delicious and served in a huge glass. Milk is available too. Their homemade hot sauce served with chips is good enough to eat as a meal! Believe me, I've been tempted to order nothing else. Service is always good and friendly. David the manager will serve too, if they are busy. We are happy to see that Taco Fiesta is going strong, despite another Mexican restaurant moving in next door. read more

Taco fiesta is always a must when I visit home! From cheese enchiladas to chilaquiles to their sweet tea!! Love love love! Can't wait to go back! read more

Mediocre mexican food in my book. Chalupa was good, fajita meat was decent, enchilada sauce very bland and hamburger leaves something to be desired. Visiting from Tampa and wish we had picked another Mexican joint. We have one in ruskin that puts this place to shame. In addition, I know spanish is prodominatly spoken in the area and I speak some but the waitress seemed annoyed she could not understand me. Id give 2.5 stars but not 3. Wont come here again. At least the price point is ok read more

This place is a revelation, for years I have suffered and toiled with enchiladas. Bland, greasy, disgusting soggy burritos served to me haphazardly by pretenders by blasphemers. Yes I might sound biblical but the chicken enchiladas here are nothing sort of a god-sent miracle, just like my girlfriend who brought me here. read more

I went to the Taco Fiesta in Pharr as a kid with my family all the time, and was so excited when they built this one a while back. This place is my family's go-to restaurant for any occasion, even if there isn't one. Every time I visit the valley, I make sure to come here. The food is great and the prices aren't bad either. To me, it's a staple of the valley and reminds me why I love visiting my family. read more

Every time I come to McAllen to visit my parents, I ask to come here. I get the Mexican plate. Love the crispy taco and chalupa; the enchiladas aren't my favorite but not bad. I enjoy the chips and salsa but wish they would give you a bigger bowl. read more

We eat at Taco Fiesta regularly. Food is consistently good. Usually have the caldo de res, crispy beef tacos, carne guisada or enchiladas suizas. It's all good and at a reasonable price. Employees are always courteous and helpful. read more

The cheeseburger hit the spot. Very juicy and the veggies were very fresh. The waitresses have attitude though. Ignore them until you need a refill. read more

Taco Fiesta Restaurant - Tex-Mex Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Parking lot is full at times. Overcharge, count your check and make sure they tried to overcharge me and I've read that on other reviews. Tables were clean chairs were dirty. Fast to get water and chips and the order came out quickly. Mexican plate was very good for the price $7. The restaurant looks nice on the inside but a lack of insulation sound insulation and it echoes so it's very loud inside. I recommend this place I have gone here for many years and will go back. read more

Love this place. Simple Tex-Mex food at a great price. Some of the best enchiladas I've ever had! Definitely worth the stop when in McAllen.

I've been coming to this restaurant for several years now for lunch and it's always packed. I always get the Chilantro chicken, which is a chicken breast cooked with a cilantro topping with onions and bell peppers. It comes with charro beans and rice and guacamole on a sizzling skillet. It's very delicious and you can't go wrong with it. I sometimes also order the beef fajitas which are usually very tender and served in the same fashion as the cilantro chicken. I always order corn tortillas which are homemade. The chips and salsa are very good as well. I usually try to sit in Martha's section which is all the tables along the center wall. She is the best waitress I've ever had anywhere and is always very attentive and on top of her game. She calls everyone Cariño. They have great daily specials at $5.99 that come with tea! You can't beat those prices! I went on a Friday recently and had the chicken mole which was very good, but I was disappointed in the serving size of the mole. They put very little chicken on my plate which is why I gave them 4 stars. The food is good, more so during lunch times. I always enjoy this place! read more

The specials are a real bargain at $5.99 & include your tea. There's something different every day of the week. It does get full around the lunch hour. Most of the food is good. I'm not fond of the rice. It comes with almost every meal and tends to be a little dry, hence my four star rating. read more

So much good food to choose from! For breakfast, there are a lot of people who like the special but I prefer the chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. Lunchtime is a good time for panchos with aguacate. Supper time means the Mexican plate, chiles relleños, chalupas or enchiladas Suizas. When it is a rare chilly night in McAllen, their caldo hits the spot with plenty of fresh vegetables in it. Service is friendly, our orders have always been right and the owner/manager David always greets us. We haven't tried the heavier meat-y dishes like carne guisada but almost everything we've tried has been so tasty. The red table salsa is close to addictive, it's what I look forward to most when we dine at Taco Fiesta on McColl. Sometimes, if you are lucky, a mariachi band will stop in to play a few songs for the diners (and for tips.) read more

I must have been spoiled by the Mexican food in Chicago. Didn't enjoy anything at this place. Will never go back.

Got back from lunch at Taco Fiesta a few days ago. Don't know why I've never written a review of this place before but after that dayI felt compelled to write a review. I've eaten here for breakfast many many times and you really can't find a better place for a good plate of machacado con huevo with homemade corn tortillas, plus they have a daily special my office manager always has when we go. But I'd never eaten lunch there till a few days ago when I ate lunch there with two of my daughters. I was craving Caldo de Res, and we went there with the hope it would be good. Well folks it was excellent! I still make a better caldo at home, but this was good, the best in McAllen. The girls loved their food and from what I saw being served all the food looks great. It is Tex Mex at its finest. Thumbs up raza! read more

Over priced breakfast dirty and bad service. Food taste was okay but definitely not returning.

This is almost my favorite tex mex restaurant in the area. Only thing that would make it better is if they had some cheap margaritas or beer. The salsa is so spicy sometimes I'd even settle for a wine cooler. The menu has a wide variety of items I have yet to try. Not sure why I always get the same thing. Maybe because it's so good? I'd recommend going at off times. It will still be busy, but if you dare to go right at noon or dinner time, you'll be fighting for a parking spot in and outside of the restaurant. If you like tex mex style food then the Mexican plate is a good choice. Gives you a sampling of the most popular food items. A taco, enchilada, and a tostada. If you're a big eater you can double up the items on the Deluxe Mexican Plate. If only they had a beer license they'd get 5 stars. Oh well, I respect their choice not to. read more
