The only hiccup was that our server seemed a bit irritated after we ordered the Casa Fiesta dip and later asked to have it without the pico de gallo because of the spice risk -- but everything else went smoothly. The Fiesta Bowl was very good and definitely the standout of the meal. I'd probably return, especially to try more dishes when it isn't as packed. Solid spot with tasty food!

The weather was great. The bar bar area looked really nice. My niece and I ordered the margarita special and we shared a Texas fajitas. I didn't make a bog deal of this situation, but I did bring it to their attention. The drink special was for a jumbo margarita. My niece's glass was jumbo, but mine came out in a smaller glass. For the most part, the place was decent. The manager did acknowledge that there was a difference, so he took my glass and changed it. He then came back with the same small glass but just a different color lol. Before taking the glass, I told him he didn't have to worry about it of he wasn't gonna add more in a bigger glass. But anyways, the situation was not rectified.

When we got seated outside by the friendly staff, we were given menus and free chips and salsa. As I nibbled on the chips and salsa which were just okay I browsed the drink menu. There's a full bar here and plenty of options. Over the course of the afternoon I tried the Frida's Rita and the wonderful rabbit. Both drinks weren't in your face with the tequila mezcal, they were mixed nicely and had a well rounded flavor. I much preferred the Woderful rabbit though as it tasted less watered down and the ginger beer paired with the mezcal was almost quenching. Overall if you're looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy Mexican cocktails this is a good spot! We did feel rushed to get out of there, and maybe it was because we weren't ordering food. Overall good experience however.

So this has been on my list and I finally came here on a Thursday evening with my son. It's at the end of a shopping center where a Walmart is. We got there about 5:30 PM. It was not busy at all. We were promptly greeted by a hostess that sat us in a booth. We started off with the chips and salsa, but on the menu it does say after two baskets they will charge you for the chips and salsa. We only had one. The chip could've been a little thinner. It's rude to find a raspberry margarita so I wanted to get one unfortunately they didn't have any frozen ones. They were just on the rocks. I was pretty shocked when I looked at the receipt and saw that it was $17 for a Margarita and it definitely wasn't worth that much. It had kind of a weird taste to it. We did get the cheese dip and it was very delicious. I decided to try the Mexican lasagna, which was so delicious. I got it with the beef and it was layers of ground beef, pico beans, and possibly some rice too. It was a good portion and I ended up bringing the other half home. My son ended up getting nachos with shrimp, chicken and steak and he really enjoyed it and finished his whole plate. I will definitely be back sooner than later because I love some good Mexican food, but I will probably end up getting just a soda next time. Fernando was our waiter and he was very attentive. I will say the restaurant in the bathrooms were clean. There's only one bathroom each for men and women. I would think it a restaurant this big they would have more stalls.

If you want something quick, authentic, and actually flavorful, this is the spot. Every time I go, the food tastes super fresh. The tortillas are warm, the meat is well-seasoned, and nothing feels overly greasy or heavy. I usually get a mix of tacos and they are always so good. They keep it simple with toppings like onion and cilantro, but the flavor speaks for itself. The sauces they give on the side are also really good and add the perfect amount of heat. The service is fast and efficient, even when there's a line, and the staff is always friendly. Since it's a food truck, it's more of a grab-and-go experience, but that's part of what makes it fun and casual. Overall, I'd give Tacos El Guero 5 stars.

Eat it right away or the tortilla will get soggy. Asada tacos were also excellent. Plenty of meat, lots of flavor, not dry and no grissle. Tortillas were thin and light. Excellent!! Ask for extra onion and cilantro if you like it piled on cause they don't put much unless you ask. The red sauce is SO GOOD, and the green salsa is extra spicy. Husband got the Cubana torta (which is like a burrito, but in a grilled MASSIVE sandwich form) and he gave it 5 stars. It wasn't too greasy and the sauce was excellent. This sandwich had some BIG FLAVOR and is enormous. It has every kind of meat on it you can think of, plus a hot dog, plus a fried egg. It would be plenty to share with two regular sized appetites and very adequate for one appetite if you've worked hard all day and needed a FOR REAL MEAL.
