The 2 taco plate was a very reasonable price. You can mix & match tacos. The grilled cabo taco & smoked chicken elote taco was juicy & tasty. Black beans wasn't too dry like some restaurants. I definitely recommend if you want a different type of tacos opposed to the original. Oh & they serve alcohol too. House margaritas hit the spot & will get you right! :-) read more

Taco Ocho - Smoked Chicken Elote taco, Grilled Cabo Fish Taco w/black beans, rice, chips & salsa! So good! - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

It literally was just alright would I come back probably not. I had the 2 tacos jalapeño pork and cabo fish both were lacking flavor. The salsa was very bland and the beans looked like chocolate pudding very mushy. My mom had the beef and chicken fajita tacos, the beef was pretty good but after eating all her food she was still hungry we all were actually. The quesadilla are 4 triangles which seems like 2 tortilla shells cut into 4. read more

Taco Ocho - The tacos are way bigger on the menu which is to be expected, but in real life you need about 4 to get full! - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Wow! Found out about this place yesterday. Drove 30 minutes to try it. Amazing! I had the 2 taco plate: fish taco and Latin Love. My wife had the veggie tostada and jalapeño chicken taco. My son had quesadillas. The hibiscus tea was also a great touch. We're particular when it comes to critiques and this place scored on all fronts. Great 1st impression! read more

Taco Ocho - Fish taco and Latin love taco - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Big thank you to the young lady running the restaurant yesterday morning around 11:30 am. After a local competitor dropped the ball on an order of 20 breakfast tacos in a big way, I went to Taco Ocho to get what I needed. The young lady worked with the kitchen staff to get my order of 15 breakfast tacos put as quickly as possible and offered me something to drink several times while I was waiting. read more

Great food and amazing drinks! I like the location and never have an issue with parking. Brisket nachos are a must try!

Food is good, and service is friendly. (2) Two taco plates and two drinks cost $26. Little more than I care to spend for 4 street tacos and 2 drinks. read more

Really like the food here. Came back for my 3rd visit and there has been a big menu change that leaves you a bit confused. Expected patient help from the order taker and only got impatience and a snarky attitude. So I rushed through and got a taco I did now like. I just expected better service. The previous worker bent over backwards to help us with our choices. Disappointed. read more

One of my favorite restaurants and they do a good job seating people at a distance. Awesome food and great margaritas.

This was mine and my bride's first visit. We didn't know what to expect. We loved it. I had a simple migas taco. The eggs were light and fluffy, very fresh. My bride had huevos rancheros, excellent as well...served on a corn tortilla with black beans and cilantro, tomato, and onions. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The potatoes and plantains were great. The queso, salsa, and chips are awesome. We will make this one of our regular restaurants we visit when we're in the Richardson area. Highly recommend! read more

Great sandwiches and tacos. Clean, upscale cafeteria atmosphere. Friendly service. If you're expecting a traditional Mexican restaurant, you'll be disappointed. This is more of a place to grab a quick bite for lunch. The sandwich and taco entrees are intriguing and varied, high repeat visit value to try them all. The queso is delicious, but the serving size is ridiculously small. Good value overall. read more

Excellent food! We came on a lazy Sunday morning and they got a little bit of our order wrong and forgot some of it so we had to remind them. But totally worth it! Relaxing environment, great salsa, AMAZING sweet potato fries, and cheesecake chimichanga will have you wanting to come back for another everyday!!! read more

Taco Ocho - Cheesecake chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

See all

First time here. I thought I read somewhere they were BYOB. We brought in some beer, and I was confused when I saw they had alcohol. Then the cashier said we can't drink our beer. So we each had to order a beer. It was nice she gave us a 10% discount. Maybe I should start bringing in beer to every restaurant. Got the queso - it was fine. I'll probably try something else next time. Chicken flautas - Cashier's recommendation. I'm not even a big flauta fan, but these were really good. Presentation was excellent too. Cashier was right. FYI - we drank the beers we brought in. :) read more

I love this place because of the whole experience reminds me of Puebla, Mexico. Of course it's not the same exact food but pretty close. Oh yeah..... The only Mexican restaurant to have ----Tortas----. A sandwich that's true Mexican. Perfectly done. The hospitality is also genuine and not fake like other places. So, rather than going to another place for tacos, this is perfect place to eat. They also open early for breakfast. read more

Absolute amazing experience! I had Taco Ocho catered multiple times even on last minute occasions. Evan Martin was such a pleasure to do business with, accommodating, punctual, available, and friendly! The food was always at perfect temperature, and there were never any leftovers. I highly recommend this restaurant for any cater need, big or small. read more

This place was soooooo over priced... my girlfriend and I went here for lunch! To order two plates with two tacos and rice and beans with a side order of salsa was over 30$!!! The food was pretty clean for the most part but did not justify the price at all!! read more

My first taco ocho experience with my family was not a good one we took a minute ordering our food looking over the menu we place our order and the cashier seems all lost she brought our food i ordered a taco plate and my tacos were plain i ask her about it and she says what are you missing and i tell her the ingredients she brings out the plantains all cold there was still like 4 more ingredients missing i just ignored it well she knew we had 4 plates and comes out when im waiting for like 10 minutes and she comes out and says i have something to tell you i didn't put one plate its my mistake what do you want to do come up and pay for it or not want it anymore we just cancelled worst customer service i have ever had not recommended wont be coming back for the same service read more

What a little gem! My husband and I love coming here. We usually order the nachos or a variety of tacos (love the zucchini one best). Really cool that the sodas they carry use real sugar... you can taste the difference! The margaritas here are good too, not too sweet. Fun little low key date spot! read more

If you are a vegan or vegetarian, you must try this place. It is amazing. All the vegetarian options are easily veganizable. They are so delicious. The owner is so nice, and he promises they are working on a new vegan sauce. I eat here like three times a week for lunch. I would eat here every single day. I love the Rico Ocho. It is so good. My husband prefers the pura vida. Either way, you can't loose. My 11 year old daughter who is a super picky eater, says the black beans are the best things she has ever tasted. I can't recommend this place enough. Seriously, go there. read more

Taco Ocho is the REAL DEAL. I am horribly picky but this place is Great! My boyfriend and I go there at least once a week and never tire of the food! Start with the queso... It's not Velveeta. It's a queso Blanco with corn and it is good. I flip-flop between the tortas and tacos. I've never had a bad meal. The fish tacos are tasty and also try the Caribbean Tostada! Yum! read more

Good tacos, had the jalapeño pork and the cabo fish taco along with rice and black refried beans. Chips and salsa were average. Things to improve: Taco shells were flour and just avg, could be better. Pricey as compared to some other places, $3.50 for a single taco! Not fair. I got cheaper and same taste tacos in southern Cali for cheaper in a more upscale restaurant! They have a good lunch special so this can be discounted though. read more

The torilla they use is insipid and tastes like water, the food does not capture the essence of a Mexican cuisine. I couldn't even finish my 2nd taco because the steak was also tasteless and the place feels a little dead but the prices are good I think that taco ocho is a growing cuisine meaning that is developing read more

Some other dude who reviewed Taco Ocho said the hand written menu terrified him and he ordered the first thing he saw, the Pork Jalapeno tacos, and loved them. Same thing here. Totally confusing. I'm going to study the online menu and memorize that sucker by heart before going back. However, with that nbeing said, I'm happy to report all 3 of my experiences here (Jalapeno pork taco plates all 3 times) have been perfect. The little bowls of beans (black) and rice are the perfect size for me as I usually leave 2/3 of those carby goodies on plates in full sized Tex Mex joints. Just a tad behind Torchy's but not that far behind as to penalize the Ocho a star. read more

Have eaten here for lunch and dinner for years so thought we would try the breakfast. Wow! What a treat! We had the huevos rancheros and a breakfast taco... Delicious and super affordable! read more

Taco Ocho - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Very VERY good. Step up from Fuzzy's (which I like) but not as many beers as Torchy's. Generous portions at good price and lots of healthy (and vegetarian) options. Haven't tried the breakfast yet. Nice wide open dining room and friendly staff. Food is fresh and well prepared. read more

Best jalapeño tacos in town! Love the rice and beans! Huge portions! Tried breakfast today and boy was it amazing!!!

I have been looking and looking and LOOKING for a good breakfast burrito and finally found one!! It has great flavor, it very big for the price ($6.50) and you can get salsa on the side to dip it in. Will be coming back just for this!! read more

Great tacos. Each of the ones I ordered had a distinctly different flavor, and for the price they can't be beaten. The pineapple cream soda was also an incredible surprise. I'll be back. I'm surprised that it was fully empty at dinner time, I enjoyed my to-go order very much and I received friendly and fast service. read more

Amazing service on top of an upbeat and colorful vibe! Finding this place was a gem for my mom and I, being both vegan; the vegan options for tacos, salads, and quesadillas were absolutely incredible and healthy. Would recommend to vegans and taco lovers alike! read more

I ordered on line for 2 people. Just nachos and tacos. It took over 1.5 hours and several "talks" with the cashier to get my order and the order was wrong. I guess I could understand that and deal with the inconvenience. But the kitchen was very dirty. Food and trash on the floor. During this sager at home order, the dining room was crowded with people waiting for their orders. It's just not a place I'm willing to try again for mediocre food. read more

I'm coming from Austin as a Torchy's enthusiast. Work across the street now and sometimes drive 20 minutes just for Torchy's. NOT ANY MORE! Taco Ocho replaces Torchy's for me as my taco/mexican fix every week. (it even has similar tacos as Fuel City) They have daily specials and a diverse array of meats/choices. I have to admit, the fish taco is one of the best values you can get. It is a huge piece of white fish fried in beer batter (or grilled). I personally think the fish itself could use some more seasoning/taste but nothing a lime can't fix. What sets Taco Ocho apart from its competition is its Tortas. They have a TON of meat (or veggies) and are in my opinion what will put the place on the map. They offer a side of sweet potato fries with the Tortas but honestly they don't do much for me. However, their queso is AMAZING. I'd rather get a side of chips and queso instead. the queso is made with a bunch of authentic cheeses and has corn and other goodies in it. each chip gets a nice amount of cheese+good stuff per dip. if you want a pretty authentic taco/mexican experience for a decent price (avg is 6-8 bucks a meal that will fill you up), try taco ocho. read more

I normally don't bother writing reviews, but I'm going to be passionate about a place for once... promise this is not a "planted" review: The people who have given this place 3 stars or less must have an unfortunately ordinary, washed-out sense of American-glutton-esque taste because Taco Ocho is wonderful. I dine there at least 3 or 4 times a week because it is gourmet food at a low cost. Only $8 for two large tacos and rice/beans?! The Latin Love taco is amazing, and all the tortas I have tried are excellent. Delicious, fresh sweet potato fries? Taco Ocho has them, and they just started stocking ketchup per customer request. Did you know that the owner hired the head chef of the Four Seasons? It's no wonder the flavor combinations are spot on. Sure, I have items on the menu I don't particularly care for, but everyone has preferences--that's why there are options. The organic blue agave sweetener is a big plus. Sorry, no aspartame! I'll stop before I write a few more chapters. I'd love to address every silly comment from the bad reviews in here, but... I'm hungry and literally leaving to go to Taco Ocho. read more

This food is terrible it took 1 hour to get my food and the service was terrible every time I think of it I laugh because of how God awful their food is. I would rather eat the grass that grows from the grown up to the surface that has been stepped on and have literal manure then ever eat at Taco Ocho. Funny you have Ocho in your name but you get an 8 of service.... out of one million because as long as I'm walking on God's green earth I will never eat at Taco Ocho again. read more

Not authentic. Not authentic. Don't plan on going back. When I want tacos I expect flavourful tacos. Good try but no thank you

Great service- they have amazing sodas! The tacos are so good Abd the chips are out of this world!! Get to this place now!!

This place is absolutely amazing. I recommend the chicken elote or the ground beef taco. The sodas are also pretty tasty as well if you like soda. read more

If you wind up in at Taco Ocho do your self a favor. Go a couple of spaces down to Teriyaki Sensei a get their lunch special. When I went to eat a Taco Ocho to eat the food is pretty good the staff is the low point of the business. To add insult to the visit. The staff was talking crap about me when I went to the car. They aren't even smart enough to realize the 5 guys I paid for their lunch were sitting right buy them. In most cases I will go back before I will give a bad review. But I am not going back again. I will come back to to Teriyaki Sensei instead. read more

Mexican food the way I like it! Taco Ocho make you feel like you're in the el DF--the tortas are out of this world! I had the chicken tinga torta and it was very good--almost as good as my mom's recipe. The chipotle spiciness is offset very nicely by the avocado and lettuce. I had the cassava chips. I was expecting freshly fried chips, but instead got a bag of chips. Plantain chips are also available. Your standard fountain drinks are available. I would love to see the chef add aguas to the menu (melon, tamarindo, jaimaica, horchata)--that would really hit the spot. The menu selection looks intriguing and I will be back to try the tostadas and the tacos soon. Very modern, hip atmosphere. Nice to see a Mexican food place that has a very contemporary Mexico City vibe. read more

I never tried this place before as the name isn't very catchy. I got word from a friend that the place is meant to compete with Taco Diner or Urban Taco. I love both of those places so I said to myself, "Oh what the heck, let's give it a shot.". I was pleasantly surprised. It's cheaper than Taco Diner or Urban Taco but just as good, if not better! The meat portions on the tacos are enormous! Two tacos can easily fill up even the most hearty appetite. Compare that with the three tacos needed from Taco Diner or Urban Taco that are needed to satisfy me. The ingredients are also better. The meat is juicy and the veggies are crisp and fresh. The staff is friendly and the food comes out VERY quick. Much quicker than the competition. I've eaten here probably a dozen times in the last month. They are friendly to everyone. Free WiFi (just gotta ask for the passcode). Nice atmosphere. It's very laid back and I typically can spend 2 to 3 hours here slowly eating and browsing the WiFi mid-afternoon (after the lunch rush is over). One of my favorites is the Shrimp Taco. Most places completely overcook shrimp to ensure there is no possible way that it is undercooked. The shrimp here is perfect. The desert that is my favorite is the Cheesecake Chimichanga is to die for. Every time I see one ordered by myself or a friend I am at the restaurant with.. it disappears in the blink of an eye. I recommend this to all of my friends and to my family. A must-go in my book. read more

Everything is great. Fish taco's are really good! The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star is because it's a little expensive.

I've had better Tacos, they are bland and not really what I was expecting they sound good, but lack flavor. They are over priced. I can better tasting Tacos at home. They aren't crafted to perfection. I was so hungry though. I ate them, but I will not be back. read more
