We were looking for something new to try and I'm so glad we popped in here at Taco Ocho! The flavor is incredible here! my husband and I had the 2 taco plate and it was no ordinary Tacos rice and beans! The salsa and guacamole is excellent and full of flavor! This place is a must try if you haven't been here. I give this place Five Stars! read more

My mom is visiting from Minneapolis and had a hankering for Mexican food. I remembered seeing Taco Ocho so we thought we'd give it a try. We got there just after the lunch rush. We sat at the bar so we could thoroughly check out the menu instead of waiting in line. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. She gave us a good run down on the options and gave us space to mull it over. We both decided to try the 2 item plate - taco and tostada. We both ordered the Azteca tostada. I ordered the beef Colorado taco and Mom got the ancho garlic shrimp taco. They started us out with some deliciously thin chips with a yummy smoked salsa that had just the right amount of heat. When our plates arrived we were impressed with the portions. Everything was fresh tasting and tasty and had lovely presentation. We didn't order any drinks but their drink prices were very good. Now we're thinking we have to go back before she heads home so we can try the world famous queso that we somehow missed. And a different taco or two. This could be my new favorite quick Mexican food place! Great tasting food, good prices, friendly staff and outdoor seating if you're so inclined. read more

Taco Ocho - Mexican Near Me - Flower Mound, Texas

First part of my review is a big thumbs down on the "soft drinks" - see picture of drink machine. I will have to bring my own Sprite for future reference. Next, I love the cod taco!!!!!! In the future I'll ask for light sauce. It's prob fine for most people. Between the color of the plate and my questionable at times vision - I could not see the black beans on my plate. I took my plate up and asked about them and was told they are right there. Ohhh I said and sat back down. The waiter brings over a side of black beans and I explained I just couldn't see them on the plate not that I didn't think there wasn't enough of them. The fajita chicken taco is ok - kind of like chicken stew. Love the cilantro rice. Really hard to enjoy the meal without a drink. I tried 2 flavors of drinks, neither goes with Tex Mex in my opinion. I don't like tea and I only drink bottled water so I am out of luck in this drink dept. I would come back for the cod taco with beans and rice with my own drink. read more

I ate the Azteca tostada and guacamole and enjoyed a Margarita. It's obvious they strive to have the freshest ingredients possible (right down to the salsa). They definitely pull it off. They have a unique twist on TexMex and it works! read more

Taco Ocho - Guacamole is delish - Mexican Near Me - Flower Mound, Texas

Oh how I love Taco Ocho! When i worked in Richardson it was one of my favorite lunch spots, so I was understandably excited to see one was opening here in Flower Mound. I was hoping it was as good as i remember. I stopped in and got my good old reliable two taco plate, which comes with rice, beans and chips. Delicious! My favorite tacos are the Latin Lover, with spicy beef, and the Beef Colorado with spicy shredded beef. Fantastic. I have also tried the Pork taco and Spicy chicken, as well as both fajita meats. Unlike some other taco spots, they load you up with meat here so you get a nice fat taco with fresh toppings. Decent beer selection as well. There is no need to go to Fuzzys any more..... read more

Taco Ocho - Two taco plate - Mexican Near Me - Flower Mound, Texas

Disappointing service today! I have been going here for the last month or so and added to my favorites due to quality of food and service to this point. Usually a very friendly young lady behind bar and occasionally the owners is their always helping ensuring service. Today was different story completed ignore for 15 min while server talked to customer at counter 1/2 way through their conversation another associate came up and and joined conversation and poured them drinks all while completely ignoring us. We gave them the benefit of doubt and thought ok after they finish gushing over their regulars they will at least acknowledge us, wishful thinking walked right by us. Well at this pint go up and left and took my business elsewhere and will be deleting Taco Ocho from my list. read more

Been here 3 times in 1 week. Good tacos. Great price. Street corn (elites) is yummy. Tried the tostada today, mmmm. We will be back. Kids loved it too. Very kind staff. read more

When I lived in the area, I used to go to the location in Richardson. I was happy to learn they expanded to Flower Mound. It is a family owned restaurant with Latin fusion menu. My favorite item is the Latin Love tacos. It has shredded beef and fried plantains. The meal comes with beans and seasoned white rice. I highly recommend this place as an alternative for casual Mexican/Latin food. read more

I think this place is under new ownership. Went there tonight with the kids to get dinner and were basically ignored and was there a few weeks ago and got there nachos as always but this time they were all watery and the service was also sub par. read more

This place is always good! Food taste great, it's fresh and the employees are nice. But I'm not a fan of them changing over to having waiters and waitresses. It's a tiny place that doesn't really need them and the fact that you didn't have to tip was nice. Food is so expensive as it is and not having to tip helps a bit sometimes read more

Outstanding margaritas, some of the best I've had in the area ... worth coming for them alone. Really good salsa with a kick, and the thin chips I love so much. They also have some really unique taco flavors too, influenced from many areas of South America. Not only that, but nice vegan/vegetarian options as well! Devin is a cool guy, and makes some good drinks! read more

Called these guys day of for a luncheon I was told that I was hosting that morning. All I heard was: "yes", "no problem ", " we can have it done whenever you need it" They suggested lunch boxes and we chose the smoked shredded chicken and fajita beef tacos. My customers raved about it being the best lunch that vendors have supplied in a long time. Engineering Mgr wanted their card so they could use them in the future. Talk about attention to details, we had 2 enclosed aluminum pans that turned out to be ice for the drinks. NOBODY ever remembers that!! Highly highly highly suggest you Yelpers give these kids an opportunity to earn your business..... you won't be sorry. read more

Super flavorful lots of vegan choices. Good service @ the bar. The got out food out super fast @12:30 during the week. Bar seating, table seating and patio seating. The bar had a good amount of beer choices for such a small place. read more

I love this place! My favorite ones are Cabo fish, brisket, and jalapeño pork!! I highly recommend ordering these~ very pleased :)

I loooove this spot! Such a hidden gem in flo mo. My faves are the Latin Love & vegetarian tacos. It may seem a little pricey per taco, but trust me it is worth every penny! Everything I have tried here has always been fresh & bursting with flavor, and I love that their selection allows us to switch it up a bit for taco night. read more

Fresh tacos affordable prices what's not to love. Although in my opinion they could improve some menu items the staff truly does a great job of presenting the food well and definitely be nice. read more

Love their shrimp pizza and the concept of customers come in order, pay then be seated themselves. The staff are friendly enough. Gave 4 stars cuz I did not like any other tacos but shrimp tacos. That doesn't mean its bad at all just not as delicious as shrimp taco. Order a 2 taco plate u get rice and refried beans along with 2 tacos you choose. Go for shrimp tacos!! Very fresh n taste somewhat refreshing!! ( not salty or spicy side) read more

We love Taco Ocho! The vegan menu is delicious! The staff is always professional and pleasant! Every time, before Coronavirus, when we ate here, they were busy and everyone appeared to be having a good time. Good food, affordable and great drinks! What more could you ask for? read more

We visited when they first opened and were not happy, disappointed in fact. We saw that it still was open after a couple years and gave it a 2nd and now 3rd chance. It's really hitting a pace and we were very pleased. The veggie selection is amazing as well as the spices noted on some of the tacos. Jalapeño pork taco was super flavorful and the grilled fish taco had a bunch of fresh tastes to it. It was steady busy and you could tell there were a lot of Layla there. Oh, the chips also were improved; crispy, warm and curly ones as well as the salsa (not too spicy with good flavor). read more

Overall the flavors were not for me. My husband really enjoyed the tacos but they're not my favorite in terms of flavor. I won't be back.

My husband and I love it here. I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, however I love their shrimp taco and the chicken coconut taco. The rice and puréed black beans are yummy. Great food for a good price. read more

Great selection! Tacos for every taste. We ordered for an event. Ended up with a smaller turnout than expected so we put several in the freezer. Delicious now and great later. Think our turnout might have been better if guests knew we were serving Taco Ocho. Yum! read more

This place is YUMMO and AFFORDABLE! My favorite 2 words when dining out. Whether eating in or grabbing a quick bite to go. They got you covered. It has simple decor and only beer on tap (that I saw). So if you are looking for an upscale tex mex type of place this isnt for you. But if you want fresh , robust ,flavorful and beautiful food. Then you have to give this a try! read more

I actually like this little taco restaurant! I have only been for lunch/dinner, but they do heavily advertise their breakfast. I'm guilty of getting the same thing everytime- smoked chicken tacos. Think of this as being similar to Fuzzy's or Chipotle with much better service! read more

What a great meal tonight. I had the fish and fajita tacos and my wife enjoyed their vegan options. Can't wait to go back.

I wish I could review the food, but as I was walking in, I was fumbling with getting my mask on right (the restaurant was empty, btw) before I made it 2 steps in and mask being placed, a waitress with a long brown pony tail loudly chastised me from across the room about the mask not being on proper. A totally rude tone, no 'please' or request, just a rude order as if I was a child.... this isn't about politics, though it is still funny that COVID apparently doesn't affect those sitting, only standing... this review is about unacceptable rudeness. Got up and left and will never return. And as we were leaving, she again yelled at me about my mask not being placed properly. Quality of food will never compensate for poor customer service! read more

10/10. The service was incredible. Every Taco I had was amazing, the chips and salsa were amazing, the Torta I bought on top of my Tacos was ALSO amazing!! The place is clean, the prices are reasonable, and I will definitely be back read more

We stopped for late lunch, we had been to the Taco Ocho in Richardson before many years ago. We ordered a beef fajita taco for my daughter and she loved it, we removed the lettuce and tomatoes because she's picky. My husband ordered chicken and Latin beef taco platter. His Latin beef taco had plantains inside the taco, he liked it. I ordered the shrimp and the fish taco platter. The platter comes with rice, beans and chips and salsa. I didn't want to get the sides because I never seem to like them but I'm so glad I ordered them. Chips and salsa were super yummy, I love it when the chips are warm and salsa has lots of flavor. Rice and beans were yummy too, my daughter loved them both. We loved all of our tacos, lots of flavor. We were in a rush so I didn't get the exact names but we highly recommend this taco place. read more

Horrible experience. Couldn't sit inside but ok to sit next to people outside. No sweet tea or Dr. Pepper. Took way too long for waitress to come take order. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Stopped here on the way home from church today for some breakfast tacos. Kept it very basic with bacon egg and cheese, and chorizo egg and cheese tacos. Very tasty and well stuffed. The chorizo has a nice smoky flavor and wasn't all greasy like some places I have tried. I liked the thinner, not so heavy, flour tortillas. The salsas were both excellent with the red very mild and the green with a good bite. Most of all, I enjoyed the friendly service. This is the third time I've eaten here and it won't be the last. read more

Pretty good. Wish bread was toasted and it had more meat. But besides that the flavors were there. read more

Taco Ocho - Cusco - flavor was very good; just wish the bread was toasted and it had more meat. - Mexican Near Me - Flower Mound, Texas

Visiting from Michigan, looking for a late lunch. Reviews were good on Yelp. Nice atmosphere. Servers very friendly. Ordered pork and brisket tacos. Both very good. Chips and salsa. Salsa was nicely spicy without being spicy hot. Salad had generous toppings. No problem getting extra dressing. All very good. Strong recommendation. read more

One of our favorite upscale Mexican restaurant. I say upscale because the food is above average. The atmosphere is neighborhood casual. Service is quick and friendly. Check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Love this place! Food is always amazing and service is great! I highly recommend the beef and chicken quesadilla and the tacos of course are amazing. Cheese (Queso) Dip is good too. They do to go as well if you're looking for something fast to pick up read more

If your looking for great fish tacos this place will not disappoint. Ingredients are fresh. Salsa and queso are delish and served with thin warm chips. Our server Brianie, was friendly and attentive and although she was busy she still took the time to ask us if we enjoyed our meal . I will definitely be back read more

I saw the place and decided to try it. The menu looked ok but when the food ale out, it didn't taste good at all. It was a waste of time and waste of money. read more

Been coming here for about 3 years. Everything is delicious. I usually have the Tripleta sandwich and it is my favorite. Everyone that works here do a great job with customer service in mind. We will coninure coming here. read more

Great place and staff. I love the Caribbean tostadas and the Latin love tacos!!!! Tortas are great... Specially Cusco. read more

I've been frequenting Taco Ocho since they opened up in Richardson several years ago back when they had those incredible sweet potato fries and loved that they decided to open up one nearby! The atmosphere is casual for sure but there's definitely a hint of elegance that makes dining in a pleasant experience. The prices are...a bit on the high side but the food is excellent. I definitely recommend the chips and queso, as their queso recipe is great. A little familiar, but great. For an entree, despite it being called TACO ocho, I recommend either the Chicken Tinga Torta or the spicy chicken quesadilla. That's not to say their tacos are bad, it's just that these dishes are so good. The bread on the torta is soft with the slightest crunch and the chicken is flavorful with some avocado and sauces and black beans and lettuce and...now I'm hungry just thinking about it. Also a bonus to the place is that the fountain drinks are all craft sodas and so good. I might just have to head over to Taco Ocho soon. (Also if any employees happen to stumble upon this review: SOMEHOW BRING BACK THE SWEET POTATO FRIES AND CHIPOTLE AIOLI) Food: 5/5 Everything else: 4/5 read more

Devoted fan, first review. I don't know why this place isn't packed every night... might just be slightly out of view. I've been here maybe 15 times, and it's exactly perfect every time. Don't know how they're so consistent. Recommend. read more
