    The food was good. They seemed to have a nice happy hour too. The gringa wasn't how I expected as im used to it being more like a small quesadilla but was still good. The Al pastor was ok, not something that I have to get again. The aqua fresca was good. Good & fast service as well.

    WATERY BIRRIA

    This used to be a great spot, it is not anymore. Birria is WATERED DOWN. customer service is lacking. you used to be able to get a cup or birria consome on the side of any dish with an upcharge, now they only serve the watered down version with birria dishes only. tastes 1/10 as good as it used to be. DISSAPOINTING 1st pic is from a few months ago. 2nd is from today (june).

    Small place with about 6-7 tables plus a bar area. Since it was mid day Sunday it was not very packed or noisy. We got quick service. The food was described well by the waiter and I Updated menu but the food was very mid. Not much flavors. Salsas not very spicy and the cheese dip was the biggest let down. Straight out the can. I would eat here in a pinch or as a quick stop but I wouldn't go out my way to come back or bring family and friends to check it out. This place is located right on the corner of a big plaza. I forgot there is also an outside patio with a few more tables for extra dining but there was a lot of road noise when I stepped out there during the day.

    Decided to try this place for my lunch break I ordered 5 small tacos to go. Steak tacos . Customer service was average . It's kinda more expensive than expected . I got the tacos and one soda and it was 18$ including tax. Normally the small tacos are 1$ or 2$ . All the furniture looks really old and tore up. But I didn't come here for the interior design let's talk about the food. They made the tacos quick ! The food was not bad at all pretty good. Had some nice seasoning and flavor even tho the pic of the food didn't loook good when you add cilantro and onions with the salsa it' was exactly what I asked for .

    I've had TDL from a different location in Spring Branch. This is a newer location for the restaurant. It's quaint, has a decent bar and patio. The staff were attentive. The one thing that stands out the most is their quest. I could just sit there and eat nothing but chips and queso. It was creamy and spicy. The kick lingers at the end after the queso coats your tongue with every bite. Then you feel the slight heat as you reach for the second...third...fourth...100th chip. Get the queso, it's 5/5. We got the beef trompo, Barbacoa, flautas and tripa. Trompo regulares 3.5/5- the slices were really thin but decent enough flavor. Went really well with the green bottled sauce. Barbacoa tacos 3.5/5- the meat was juicy and flavorful, went well by itself or with the brown smoky salsa it came with. Spicy! But definitely flavorful. I'm a ninny FYI. Flautas 3/5 I've had better. The queso and guacamole/avocado sauce it came with really made it taste bland. Add the orange salsa in the bottle and same salt and it is better. Wouldn't come back for this or the tostada Siberia which is basically the same. Tripas 2/5 this should've been cooked crispier...most of my pieces were very chewy and tough but the crispy pieces were decent. Overall I'd come back because I like TDL. Im.always happy to see restaurants grow because of good food. I'll have the pastor next time!

    So, now that I've given these guys more than a couple visits in different locations, i can definitely say that they're doing a great thing over there. It's been a good while that I've been to an actual brick-n-mortar "street taco" establishment and they haven't actually disappointed me. Their red salsa is also actually spicy with great flavor....keep it up guys - and we'll definitely see me again!

    I went to a 99 cents store. I was thinking about going to Taco Bell. I just wanted to save my time. I found a Taco restaurant in the same shopping strip The location was supposed to be an Asian restaurant. The Asian guys went somewhere, I had to meet non-Asians. I saw many Hispanic-looking guys, this meant that this restaurant would be very authentic. I ordered Quesadilla. The casher asked my name. I said " Chino". She understood. Gracious. I ate the $7 Quesadilla. It was big and Okay. Honestly, Taco Bell's $5 quesadilla was better. Perdon. I felt like losing $2. LOL. Anyway, Thank you! I gave you 5 stars! Taco Bell is 6 stars! LOL.

    Paco's new restaurant has been open for just about 3 months. Brand new and still a little work to do on the restaurant but the food was amazing. My partner and I just walked across from discount tire to wait for his tire to be repaired, we were (well at least I was) hungry and you could smell their food from across the street. I had tacos trompos especial and my partner had a bistek torta it was humongous and he ate it all! They serve you with some frijoles to start they're really good has sausage in it. We also had Fortaleza tequila and ummm "I didn't like it..." wink... "I loved it!" Definitely set the tone for the remaining of the day.. my partner and I had a great time there. Paco was really nice and I'm definitely going to return! It is a must try! More review to come! Ohh they also have Mexican coke and aquas naturales (drool)

    It was okay i don't really remember to be honest. Tacos were alright my soup was alright. Kinda too tex mexy in flavor. i like tostada regia better. idk i just hate how my mom ordered a plate and it was like three variations of tortillas. makes no sense to me. but whatever. also don't understand the avocado on tacos ? but idk mane i know different parts of mexico r different. it was aight if u want some aight food come here. the girl who served us was really awkward tho like extremely but i feel so it was okay for me but my friend was kinda bothered LMAO. i like the location on long point better but idk tbh i haven't been there in at least a decade.

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

Margarita 4/5- Good and strong very limey and nice tajin rim Charro beans 3/5- Pretty mid flavor like just basic. And they came out lukewarm warm teetering on cold. I've had way better. Fajitas 3/5- I really wanted to love these. They look great and the cook was perfection but the flavor was super plain. I felt the need to add salt.... My partner agreed too. Not good. I won't be back but I appreciate it for what it is!

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

On one side was a family with three young children playing a loud game involving frequent shouting and slapping on the table. There was intermittent drumming which the parents were oblivious to. On the other side was a large group facing us engaged in very loud ongoing conversation. The result was an atmosphere that made it difficult to enjoy the meal. Service was also inconsistent. Our server offered chips to accompany the Tiradito but she never brought them. Overall, the evening was disappointing. Between the unwelcoming reception from the dour hostess, noisy seating arrangement and lapses in service, the experience was far from enjoyable. Could not wait to leave.
