Birria Tacos
Britt P.

Y'all already know gas station tacos are the best tacos! I didn't make the rule it's just the way it is! Now let's get into these tacos! The reviews did not lie! These tacos are SO good!! There way the picture looks is exactly the way they taste, sensational! If you are in the area or willing to drive these tacos will not let you down!!

We just moved here from Dallas and we have been having trouble finding a good taco spot.... well... WE FOUND IT! They are really good and if you like alittle extra salt you can add it. The vibe is nice, and his customer service is great! Now, they are a bit pricey if you dont come on a day with a special but its worth it! AND he has Elotes & Aguas frescas

Came back here for the first time since beginning of Covid. I guess this place really boomed since then!!! I love me some Birrieria tacos so I got those which were sooo crispy and greasy in a good way. The consome was beefy as expected. I thought the street tacos were pretty standard, it didn't stand out imo. And the beans/rice were forgettable. What makes this stand out is the owner, he cares about the customers and will go out of his way to make you happy. Deserves a 5 star.

The best birria tacos I've had in a long time!!

Holy sh!$t!!, we have been in Austin for over a year hoping to find some good Birria Tacos, no luck, we found some freaking amazing tacos here in Ft Worth. Please don't let the place turn you away when you pull up. Yes it's a gas station, yes it doesn't look like a place with amazing tacos but come on in! My wife and I had the birria with consumel, deliciooooosss! I love when the tacos are nice and crispy and the cheese is so hot when you bite in you know they're fresh. The guacamole salsa has a nice bite and just so good. We were here in Dallas to see our Dodgers win 2 out of 3 from the Rangers, Guapo Tacos capped off a great weekend. Next time I am coming to Dallas I'm making a point to head into Ft Worth to get my fix of birria! It's a small place, support this great local eatery.

The hype is real! BEST Birria tacos I have had in DFW. Yes, it's in a gas station.. but to me that makes it better lol. The tacos were packed with meant and meat seasoned to perfection. Beyond the amazing tacos the service was friendly! The man held a nice casual conversation with me which was surprising for the environment. I WILL BE BACK!

Guapos Tacos, Ft. Worth: A Unique Take on Mexican Fare Ambiance: Guapos Tacos in Ft. Worth is located in an unsuspecting location within a gas station to the far right corner hidden behind the cashier desk. The decor is simple and overall the dining experience is casual. Food: I started with the Guapo taco, which was bursting with flavor and generously topped with crunchy cabbage. It was a delightful introduction to their menu. Next, I tried the burrito, filled with garbanzo beans, corn, cilantro, and a variety of other ingredients. While flavorful, I personally prefer Mexican dishes with subtle flavors that allow the star ingredients to shine. Nevertheless, I appreciated the craftsmanship and unique approach to their offerings. Overall Experience: Guapos Tacos offers a refreshing twist on traditional Mexican cuisine, catering to those who enjoy bold and diverse flavors. The food is crafted with care, showcasing a creative blend of ingredients that may not align perfectly with my personal taste preferences but certainly demonstrate culinary expertise. Would I recommend it? For adventurous eaters seeking inventive Mexican dishes in Ft. Worth, Guapo Tacos is worth exploring. While it may not align with everyone's flavor preferences, the vibrant ambiance and innovative menu make it a standout in the local dining scene.

In the back corner of a convenience store, Guapo Taco is a hidden gem to be sure. Absolutely perfect birria tacos. Flavorful filling with an exterior crunch and a consommé that will become your best friend. Served with a heap of cilantro and chopped onions. Cannot wait to come back.

Without a doubt the best Birria tacos you're going to find in Fort Worth You'll be surprised that you've never heard of this place before. We just happened to drive by and saw birria tacos sold out of a gas station, that was all we needed to know. Sure enough, easily top 3 taco I've ever had

The Latin Lover Taco with chicken (citrus seasoned chicken)
Eva H.

This is a small taco stand in the back of a gas station convenience store. The taco meats were seasoned nicely, the veggies crunchy and fresh, the salsa tasty and hot! If you like small divey taco places that deliver solid street style tacos, try Guapo Taco. It was recommended to us by some locals as some of the best tacos in Ft Worth so we stopped in for a lunch bite. There a few tables that seat 4 people inside. It seems a lot order tacos to go. The menu was not extensive but what they served was delicious. Would definitely visit this place again when I am hungry for a good street style taco.

Guapo Taco is a hidden gem. It's inside the gas station with a casual interior. Absolutely blown away with the quality of the food here. Birria consumé is smoky, beefy, rich, and delicious. They have trophies on display for their Al pastor tacos but I'm telling you, the consumé is insanely good. Really welcoming staff too.

Veremundo D.

This place is freaking amazing, didn't expected the flavors by the looks of outside, I don't live close to here but will be back. Food taste like if you were in TJ Mexico

Lamb birria is soooo legit
Jennifer C.

Tucked into the back of a gas station is Guapo Taco on Sylvania & East 4th on the outskirts of Riverside. Angel slings the most mouthwatering street food and does it with efficiency & flair. After hearing so many great recommendations to check him out Hubby and I finally made a pit stop for his birria and since then we haven't been able to stop! My husband said that Angel's birria tacos changed his LIFE; earth shatteringly good! I was like "a taco's a taco and we've had decent birria up to this point" Boy was I wrong. Friends, Guapo Taco's birria tacos are legit: From the perfectly seasoned and flavorful lamb to the epic crunchy savory taco shells and the super fire consommé, this plate of tacos is truly the best birria I have ever had! If you want something lighter or just a midday snack the El Borracho taco is the way to go. Flour tortilla filled with pineapple, pico de gallo, roasted corn and guajillo crema pack a lot of flavor! I got mine with carnitas and the roasty flavor works so well with the fresh & sweet elements with a subtle amount of heat. Don't sleep on this taco spot, you'll thank us later. If you haven't been here yet, you need to run and get Angel to feed you, cuz his food is legit!

The mini tacos were fine. The portion was small but satisfying. The toppings were fresh and colorful. The place was quiet and clean.

The ambiance is sophisticated and warm with accents that reflect the…read moreMexico which the cuisine here showcases; stellar, polished, service; a remarkable menu featuring authentic Mexican cuisine artfully prepared and presented; an exceptional wine list featuring the best of Mexican, European and U.S. wines; and some of the most skillfully poured cocktails in Fort Worth. What is not to love? As we're celebrating our 55th anniversary this month we were presented with a lovely, complementary sparkly rose. As today is Cinco de Mayo a Margarita was in order and the house pour was lovely. We shared a bottle of California Sauvignon Blanc to accompany the Ceviche Tatemado followed by the Tacos de Barbacoa which is the Tuesday lunch special. Both the ceviche and barbacoa tacos were just so enjoyable. The striped bass and octopus ceviche here is a unique preparation that sings in the tangy lime and Serrano vinaigrette in which it is prepared. The barbacoa is so flavorful and tender; and the thin, house made flour tortilla is fried crispy on the flat top before being filled. So good.

First, the food was good. A couple things we had were really nice. The fried cactus was something…read morewe could have done without. Servers provided a great experience aside from a bunch of flies (ate outside on the patio and were waving at flys most of the night). Three stars for the prices. We are an entirely vegetarian meal with no alcohol and paid $400 for a party of six...and we were sharing (yes, you read that correctly). $13 for a side of Mexican rice. $18 for essentially a side mashed potatoes. $16 for grilled vegetables. And the portions were SMALL. We were sharing across four adults and three kids and everyone only ended up getting a tiny amount. It was really difficult believing we were receiving any real value...it felt like the Don and figured out how to have unsuspecting guests pay double! It to say this isn't a legit high-end Mexican restaurant, it is. But I would more realistically describe it as a high-end steak house with wrap-around Mexican dishes (which explains why the side prices were so extreme). Kids quesadillas with steak were $17 a piece with no sides other than potato chips (a little odd given the context). Anyway, I'll end it where I began...food was good, servers were great...but just not worth the price. If the bill had been half or the portions were larger, it would have felt like we were actually getting value for our money.

I am blown away! We went on a Friday for lunch and what a cute place. It was our first time going…read more The decor is absolutely adorable. Very chic and trendy great place for photo ops catching up with a friend or having a date night. I had the sirloin fajitas for lunch. We tried the corn and flour tortillas. I was super impressed by the quality of all the food you could tell that the tortillas were made from scratch and the food was prepared with love. The atmosphere was a vibe. Waterfall outside for cute photos definitely loved it. The Service was on point. All of the servers were very knowledgeable, helpful and left us wanting for nothing kept the skinny margaritas flowing. They were fresh tangy and delightful. 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend.

TLDR; Go here!…read more Drinks: I went on a Tuesday night and it was busy. I ordered take out and sat at the bar while I waited for my entree.Ordered two drinks while I waited, got the one at the top of the menu and a skinny margarita and they tasted exactly the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they got the job done and were fine. Food: I got the enchiladas three ways with steak. You can take the regular three sauces or choose just one if you'd like. Green sauce is the best, white sauce is pretty good, and the red mole is fine but I wish I would have swapped it out with the spicy almost (orange) sauce that comes with the seafood enchiladas. That sauce looks so good! My partner did not like the red sauce at all, again I thought it was fine just not amazing like the other two. Beans and rice are good, nothing special. Nothing wrong with the chips and salsa just run of the mill. Other thoughts: I wish I had just ate my food at the bar instead of ordering take out. Bar seats are comfortable, views of a tv for anyone sitting at the bar, and it's just a nice comfortable atmosphere in there. The hostess and bar tenders I interacted with provided great service.

The interior and exterior of Buena Vida is warm and inviting. The staff were friendly and quick with our order. There are plenty of areas to sit and their menu offers a variety of options.

They're your typical trendy taco place, with their own selection of merchandise and crazy/cheesy jokes strewn about on t-shirts and signage. They have an ample bar space, but it looked like only one patron was interested in that; the rest of us were there to eat. You order your food at the counter and get a buzzer to come back and pick it up. The staff is friendly enough, but you don't really interact with them much since it's all pretty much self service after you go to the counter. The drink station has cane sugar based sodas; it's a bit heavy on the foam, but otherwise good. We opted for the birria pizza, a couple of cups of pozole, and a side of elote. Everything was solid. The elote was good, not great, but the pozole really hit the spot given how cold it was outside. The birria pizza is what blew me away, though. This was easily one of the most unique, but tasty, things I've ever had. It's not really a pizza, more like a topped quesadilla, but they did a great job of it. I'd not only come back here next time I'm in Fort Worth, I'd be interested in opening a location in Houston if I had the money to franchise it.
